Overlanding Cederberg | Wild Camps & Magical Scenery | Episode 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.พ. 2022
- A trip of 2 friends and a journey of discovery into the Cederburg and the Tankwa Karoo. Tim (lost in africa) and myself set off on a Sunday afternoon to discover some new wild camps in these areas in preparation for the tours we will be running in the areas in the near future.
In this episode we cover the first 2 nights of this 8 day journey, we find some secret caves to camp in and camp in a parking lot just off a hiking trail, have a dip in a river and drive through some of the best scenic terrain the Western Cape has to offer.
The ever changing scenery of the Western Cape allows us to drive through mountainous areas, dry desert and wide open pans as well as massive rock formations with some ancient rock art. Lots of fun was had on this journey and this only the very very beginning of it.
I hope you guys enjoy it and thanks for the support :-)

@@LostinAfrica twice bitten? 😂🤣
Finally! You’re back! Glad to see another video
hehehehe sorry, needed a break for a bit 🤪
Just came across your video now, jan 2023. How lovely it is ! The music fits beautifully with your adventurous journey so well filmed.
I've been to the Cederberg Mountains 40 years ago, an unforgettable experience.
Happy New Year and future journeys ! 👍🧡🌱🌿🏕
Awesome to see u on another trip
It's been a while hasn't it, lots to come soon though...
Me: When is your next vid dropping Roland?
Roland: Just before the start of WW3.
Welcome back bud! 😁🤙🏻
Well I was close 😂🤣😂🤣 Thanks Johannes 🤟🏻
Great video!! Love it and looking forward to finding gems like this. Keep up the amazing content and work!!
Two of my fav setups...Jabari and Donkey in great scenery 👌. Happy to see some good vids of Cederberg.
Thanks Herman, was an amazing trip for sure, just love that area too much...
@@MyLifeinAfrica zz4
Excellent Video and really enjoyed it, cannot wait for next episode. Well done!
Thanks Garth, will get cracking on the next episode for sure...
Great video, the Cederberge has many a hidden gem, We allso love wild camping, dont know these spots... Keep them videos coming
Thanks Rudi 😎🤟🏻
Hi Roland it's Bradley.
It was nice meeting you at the Terrain tamer meet and greet and it was cool to see the donkey in person. 😎
What's that switch for near the ignition at 1:38?
Hey Bradley, likewise man, was awesome meeting you, hope you enjoyed the new episode! You should join on one of the tours this year for sure. The switch used to be my spots and lightbar switch, but those have moved now somewhere else. Instead of having a hole I've just left it there now...😂🤣
@@MyLifeinAfrica Ok, I thought that might be the case.
A bit too conspicuous to put a kill switch there. (Might be able to use it as a cut off to your 12v setup in case of emergency. 🤷♂️)
Those switches that fit in the dash where the blanks are, are very nice.
So far I am really enjoying the video.
Maybe a fuel cut off or something similar, I'll keep you posted...
Glad you're enjoying it man! 😎🤟🏻
Cederberg.... our favorite. Thanks for keeping your footage real and filled with fun. See you in the mountains ....or a gravel road
wow thanks so much, we just came back from another week there, it was amazing, really one of my favourite places ever to visit 🫶🏼
Love the first stop. The drone footage makes the rocks look like a crocodile, with the space where you're camped being underneath its jaws.
Terrain was surreal, can't wait to go back, watch out website for up and coming tours!
Top Content!
Hey mate. So good to see a new video from you. Been looking forward to this for a while. Beautiful looking campsites you found there. That cave campsite just looked epic. Donkey is looking mint buddy,,, go the Troopy!!!!
Thanks mate, it was such and epic trip, we loved every second of it! Yeah Donkey is looking great, needs a few bits of TLC after me punishing him so much but otherwise all good. Glad you enjoyed the video! ✌
What an epic campsite ⛺️🔥
Definitely, such a rad spot, wait till you see the next episode...😎🤟🏻
Great first episode. Amazing scenery!!
Thanks Vince, it was really amazing!

Thank you so much, that's what it's all about, the chilled vibe for sure!

Hey Roland!!! Awesome vid. Well done man!!!
Thanks guys, really appreciate it 😎🤟🏻
Love it
thanks thanks 😎🤟🏻
Wow, what a nice video. Love your first stay, know that area like the palm of my hand. Did you went to the labyrinth and cathedral cave. One can spend an week there and won't get bored, so many caves and bushman paintings to explore on that farm. Cannot wait for your next video.
Juba too💯🙌🏾🙌🏾
Awesome video thanks 🙏
Thanks Charlie 😎🤟🏻
Hadn’t actually watched the video when I commented earlier..great video. Wish I was able to get to South Africa to go on a tour with you!
glad you enjoyed it Robert 😎 when you do finally get here give me a shout and we can organise a tour...
G'day from Victoria, Australia. I own a Troopy and enjoy watching your vids mate. Cheers!
G'Day Chris, thanks so much mate, glad you enjoy them! Troopy's aren't just vehicles, they've got personalities too, I bet yours has a name as well? 🤙🏻
Awesome video sir 👌 I just love the feel and vibe of your channel. Seriously inspired to get to a place where I can overland in a similar fashion, just out in nature and the wild. Can't imagine the good it does for the soul.
Thank you so much for the awesome comment! Overlanding is the most freeing experience you can gift yourself with, just make it happen!
Hi Ronald looking forward to this series. Cederburg is my most favourite place for holiday. We drive from Op die berg to Eselbank, Langkloof and then down to Wupperthal. Luckily we have family that stays at these places.
Hi Efraim, you are right it is definitely a special place, in the next episode we go through your favourite spots...
Need to get to the Western Cape!!!!! Damn
Definitely man, it's the bomb, we have literally everything here for overlanding at our doorsteps...
Excellent Video and really enjoyed it. Just one thing. Please mention Campsite names, roads travels etc.IInfo like this is nice to have and will help a lot
Thanks Quintus, this video in particular didn't mention names on purpose 😉
@@MyLifeinAfrica Found it. The place with the Madwaeni sign and the cool dog is UITSPANKRAAL WILD CAMPING AND PUB. GPS coordinates- 32 02 30.60S 19 24 36.04E. The turn-off is at Mertenhof farm, turn right (If you coming from the Wuppertal side) They did not want to mention where they stayed for some silly stupid reason. I thought that real overlanders share little gems as they call them. Bunch of wannabes
please explain how this makes me a wannabe? I'm entitled to do what I want on my channel... feel free to unsubscribe from my channel instead of hurling insults which make you look like an asshole...
Quintas First you complement Roland on the video then you call him a wannabee. There is a reason we keep places quiet, often on request of the owners. It's to keep certain secrets and little gems just that. When the hords descend they change the character of places. Don't be a doos. If you find little gems keep them thus.
@@Profreegolfer Don't be an asshole. If you find a little gem share. That is the right thing to do and what most decent people do. Doos
will go with you on a trip like this
definitely, i will put the dates on social soon...
Netjies!!!!!
Dankie 😁
Brilliant one. I wanna be in that Troopy test tour when you do it. But you have to wait till I’m back mid April 😜🙏
Sounds like a plan Tim, I'll get organising on that 🤙🏻
Why did I only just find out I am on TH-cam as well 😂.
Sick Episode mate!
hahahahahahaha 😂🤣
The area looks familiar. Is there a cave with a big bushman painting of an elephant near by ????
I say nothing... other than 🤟🏻
@@MyLifeinAfrica I used to hike there about 40 years ago. Wonderful area 😁😁😁
Been there today :) Keep up the work...
Hi Roland I am watching your videos for a while know.Would definitely like to do this tour.
Awesome thanks so much for the support, I'll be releasing dates soon... looking forward to having you 😎👌🏻
How many Tennis Rackets were harmed in the making of Donkeys Steering wheel ??? lol 😅
None, the tape never got a chance to see a tennis racket 🤣😂
@@MyLifeinAfrica Thanks - this made me laugh out loud in a very quiet office! 😂
Looks like one I'd like to do ..... 🤙
I'll release dates soon, would be awesome to hand you...
Great video. Really like the rear door storage that you can see at 13:02. Are these bespoke or off the shelf. Have been looking for similar for my Troopy.
Thanks man, they're from a company call 4x4 Assist and are custom made. Look then up on Instagram or Facebook and you can have them made up.
Hello! Im watching your epic video 1 year later. Have you finalised and are offering these trips yet? Thank you!
Please let us know were to book that cave please🙏
Jabari and Donkey💯👌🏾
The music choice is making my mind wonder off....Good Vid!
ah thanks so much, I was hoping for that 👌🏻
Hi, what is the place name where you stayed the first night in the cave? Do you maybe have contact details
Not keen to share the spot that someone shared with you at some stage? 😅
Ill find it
this one I found all on my own, if I share it then it becomes so busy I can't go back either 🤣😂
@MyLifeinAfrica I'm not in SA anymore unfortunately, would def go on a trip with you if I was. Definitely don't share 😁
Cheers
you should come back and do one anyway 🤙🏻
