- Welcome to Episode 4. In this video I show you not only the campsite where I am staying for the weekend, but I also include footage of the Gariep dam which is overflowing.
On my way to River Destiny Lodge, I first stop at Gariep dam and take a walk on the dam wall. The dam is still more than 100% full and overflowing. I include this awesome spectacle at the beginning of my video. It was a privilege to see the billions upon billions of liters of water flowing over the edge.
Then I continue on to River Destiny Lodge, the campsite where I was staying. I crossed the Orange River into the Northern Cape. River Destiny Lodge is on the banks of the Orange River.
They have a beautiful camping area with green grass and lots of trees, clean ablution blocks and a restaurant on site.
I enjoyed my stay and I can recommend this campsite to anybody, unless you are a light sleeper (like I am). The N1 bridge over the Orange River is not far from the resort and the noise of the cars and trucks might keep you up at night...
I haven't completed my final list of categories for scoring campsites, but I would have scored River Destiny Lodge pretty high on each of the categories.
Good evening, keep up the awesome work. I love the content and the information shared by you. Hopefully you can go see Klien Kariba one day.
I wanted to know if you could please do a video of how you set up your caravan and how the plug points work. I'm new to the caravan lifestyle. Thank you
Hello Shravan. Thank you for commenting on my video. I will eventually travel further and further and hopefully one day visit Klein Kariba. I will try and do a dedicated video on setting up a caravan. What exactly would you like me to cover in such a video?
@@barenaked_camper awesome. Things from the basics please such as how you set up your tent on the caravan, how you connect the power outlet and if you don't mind I'd like to know how did your passion for camping come about?
Thank you, looking forward to many more amazing videos and adventures.
Another awesome trip. Thanks for sharing, and all the info. Very interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
🤣🤣🤣 I love the sense of humour💦 “woke up early, went for a 5km jog, came back and did some yoga”.🤣
Another well done informative video Jaco, thanks. You are becoming a pro. Loving the drone footage💃
“Lights Camera Action”!😄
Hi Simphiwe. Thank you for the positive feedback and continued support. It really means a lot to me.
What's the cost?
Hello Jean. I paid R280 per night, but I do not know if their tariffs are still the same.
Stunning video footage
Dankie Brigitte
This is only the 3rd video that I have watched and I noticed that you don't mention whether the pools have hot or cold water. Also the prices for the stands. I guess since this was your earlier videos that you probably forgot to mention it. Love your videos and find it quite informative.
Hello Gerrie. Thank you for leaving a comment. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying my videos. I can tell you that I haven't come across a heated pool since I started making these videos. I do not mention the tariffs because it will increase from time to time. If I feel the rates are very high, I might say something. I feel that if my viewers are interested in visiting any of my featured camping sites, they should rather contact the camp site and get the latest applicable rates. Regards Jaco
Geluk! More gaan hierdie Video sy 1 Jaar Annevirsary he!
Hi Phillip. Dankie! Dit is moeilik om te glo dat ek al vir meer as 'n jaar besig is om videos op TH-cam te plaas.
