Howzit✌🏼Adventures to Balie's Gat in the Cederberg & West Coast National Park
We headed to Balie's Gat in the #cederberg #mountains to find the #sunshine after a brutally long, cold and wet winter in #capetown #southafrica
@baliesgat9811 is situated in the Koue Bokkeveld on the R303. +/- 47km from Citrusdal and +/- 82km from Ceres. The campsite can only be reached with a good high ground clearance vehicle. Buster our #renaultduster handled the #terrain very well and after a gnarly descend down the side of the mountain we reached the stunning, remote valley deep in #nature
The perfect place to recharge your #body #soul and #mind
We setup #camp at Balieskamp1 which is neat, shaded and has a braai area and a dishwashing stand with a bucket and drying rack, as well as it's own ablution facility.
We were surrounded by beautiful #mountainviews with great rock formations for #rockclimbing and #bouldering
For those who love #hiking #trailrunning and #mountainbiking there are many paths and trails. We also saw #bushman #paintings on the rocks at the Boesmanklip campsite which accommodates a larger group of people.
The following day we hiked 2.5km up the #kloof to a spectacular #waterfall and enjoyed the #sunshine #swiming in the #rockpool and had a cheeky nap on the rocks.
Amidst the tranquil embrace of #nature you’ll find ample space to create beautiful memories with your loved ones, whether it’s #family or #friends
We highly recommend Balie's Gat and will return to explore the area some more hopefully soon. Thank you @baliesgat9811 for having us!
On the Sunday morning we packed up our #tent and took a leisurely drive through #Veldrif where we saw hundreds of magnificent #flamingos in the vlei.
We carried on driving on the R27 and decided to have a quick stop at the @sanparks #westcoast #nationalpark to see all the #flowers in bloom.
The West Coast National Park lies 88 km north of Cape Town in the #westerncape province of #southafrica
The park is found inside of the Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve, part of the #unesco Man and the #biosphere Programme.
The entry fee was R110 per person for South African Nationals and R247 for International Citizens during the flower season.
The park is particularly well known for its #birdlife and for the #spring #flowers which occur in the months from August to September, especially in the Postberg flower reserve section of the park.
We had a quick stop at Kraalbaai which is located in the reserve on the #langebaan #lagoon It is absolutely beautiful with turquoise blue water and white beaches for miles. There are many fun #adventure #activities one can do at the reserve including #kayak #standuppaddle #fishing #hiking and #mtb There are also the Kraalbaai Lifestyle Boats that you can rent.
We had a great #weekend #getaway and found the sunshine and much more...We are looking forward to our next #overlanding #adventure soon!✌🏼

Howzit✌🏼Adventures to the Karoo to discover it's many mysteries #overlanding #adventure #4x4 #nature
Переглядів 7 тис.4 місяці тому
In the heart of the Karoo, where time dances with the wind, there lies a sacred refuge, a place where senses awaken and worries dissolve... Gecko Rock Private Nature Reserve is where we stayed and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. It is owned and run by Jonathan, Sharon and Travis Deal who were very welcoming and made us feel right at home. We were planning on #camping and due to the bad...

A last minute decision to get out of the city for the weekend. We knew we needed some camping, nature and adventure so we packed up and headed to Banhoek nestled between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. We found a great place to camp at Orange-Ville Lodge and Guesthouse. They have four camping sites with electricity, WIFI and really clean ablution facilities. They also have a swimming pool and a h...

Howzit✌🏼Adventures to the Botha Springbok Trail
So sad that young woman just died here 😢 I wonder how it happened...😢
It is very sad indeed. Sincerest condolences to her family and friends. Not sure of the details but a reminder to never adventure alone on the mountains.
Very cool! Water looked fresh😅
It was freezing. We took cold water immersion to the next level 😂
Hi Olivia
It's not a proper 4x4. A proper 4x4 has low range. You can drop those tire pressures to 0.6 bar and take on more challenging dunes. The duster is nice and light should be fine. Good to practice and experiment with your vehicle and it's capabilities.
@@XavierduToitCFP Agreed thanks. It’s a SUV with 4x4 capabilities but really handles well. We have seen both its capabilities and limitations and will continue our adventures experimenting and having fun. Keep a look out for our next overlanding adventure by subscribing 😉✌🏼
@@HowzitAdventures I will subscribe when you get a proper 4x4.🤣🤣
hi i happened to land on this hsort, love the music btw, what's the name
@@thehermitasian8527 The resort is Montagu Springs and we stayed at Montagu Little Sanctuary.
Wow! Too old to try myself but would love to challenge my grandsons - they have just started out on an experience with their vehicle. Lovely - thank you - Nanna Doreen
@@DoreenCowling It was an awesome experience and we highly recommend it. I hope your grandsons get to experience the Baviaanskloof as well.
You just gave me a weekend idea away with my wife. Thank you guys
Awesome! Enjoy! ✌🏼
Just one quick comment, when you put some information on the bottom of the screen, any chance of leaving it there for another 10 seconds or so, I find it clears slightly too quickly to get it read 📚 😀
Howzit ✌🏼 Thanks for the feedback. We’ll definitely take note and improve on this in our future videos. 🙏🏼
Lekker Johnny!
Stunning
Amazing Johnny, looks like a fantastic spot!
@05:36 my gran is gonna come for you after that comment 🤣🤣 but lekka vid, hoping to go through there this year still
Haha sorry gran 😂
Good fun! Nice to see the capabilities of a normal SUV. To me the music is a little too overpowering
Howzit ✌🏼 it definitely was good fun! Thank you for the feedback. It is always welcome and appreciated. 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing your adventure travels. Baviaans has been a dream of mine for a looong time, so i need to get my act together and do it. Just subscribed to your channel and found another of your trips.
We definitely recommend it and plan to go back as there is so much more to explore. We hope you get to go. Safe travels!
wow thank you for showing me these parts of our beautiful country.
PS next time get a car that can drive up where you walked 🤣🤣
immediately recognized Nadine!!! Hellooo
Howzit ✌🏼😁
Hi I havejust found you and have subscribed as I really enjoyed seeing the areas you went through. I long to take my yamaha 250 and travel those roads. Thanks for inspiration.
Hi ✌🏼 Thank you for your cool comment! We’re so glad you enjoyed it. We are planning another big adventure soon and having fun in between. Check out our Sand Dunes video 😉 Safe travels on your bike and enjoy! ✌🏼
Go Duster go!
That looks like a lot of fun.
We had a blast. We’ll definitely go back again and try some of the more technical stuff next time.
Very risky to go through a long water crossing like that in a small AWD, and I imagine no winch etc...but great work. I will probably do that on my F800GS next time I am in SA, can't really justify a 4WD truck parked there as well. And definitely De Hel as well
We were very fortunate to have the great conditions we had and we made friends along the way. They were our guardian angels and really looked out for us. They gave us the confidence we needed to get through the more challenging areas. Definitely worth it! Enjoy doing it on your F800GS and safe travels! Look out for our new video to be posted this evening of how our Renault Duster handles soft sand dunes :)
This brought back memories we used to camp at Baviaans as kids and remember jumping off those same rocks.But the water was always clear I guess in the rainy season it gets muddy?
The water was very muddy but that did not stop up. We had great fun in the river.
We did the main route through in the middle of the night by mistake in a Mercedes convoy 😂 it was magnificent. Would love to do the routes you guys did. 👏🏻
That must have been quite the adventure! 😂 We’ll definitely go back and do it again. Much fun to be had! ✌🏼
Greetings : I have done Baviaans twice on a moto-sukkel; SUKKEL being the operative word when it comes to that long; alluvial rock-based river crossing ! Your video immediately reminded me of how many an endeavour has been undone at that exact point ! But what an experience; constantly surrounded by awesome natural beauty ! Thank You and Drive Safely 🤙🏍💫💥
It was an incredible experience! Thanks for watching ✌🏼
PS : As you have done the Swartberg Pass; do yourselves a favour and visit De Hell ! Yes; there are more than several challenging; spectacular Passes to enjoy in that EC / WP border-region; another being the Otto de Plessis Pass .... etc ✊️👊👊💥
Just stumbled across you guys what a lekker authentic video look forward to some more …
Thanks so much! We’re planning our next awesome adventure soon…Stay tuned…✌🏼
Great video, is yiur duster a 4x4?
Thanks. Yes it is. We’ll be doing a video on its capabilities soon. Please subscribe :)
Very nice adventure and nicely filmed. I'm looking forward to the next upload.
Thank you. We’re glad you enjoyed it. Next upload coming soon!
What camera are you using
#GoPro and #iPhone
Nice video guys👍You were extremely lucky to make it through Smitskraal in the Baviaanskloof Nature reserve with your Duster. It is mostly recommended that you do it only in a vehicle with high ground clearance and 4x4 preferably. Water levels when it rains can go up to 1 metre deep especially at Smitskraal. We did Baviaanskloof in December and this was the case. So you were very fortunate to have been able to pass through especially in the reserve with you vehicle. But what an awesome trip nonetheless!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼 We had an amazing trip and yes we were fortunate to make it through. Many people underestimate the #Renault #Duster #4x4 It has a ground clearance of 210mm and handled the terrain really well. We can’t wait for our next adventure! ✌🏼
Excellent.
Many thanks! Please subscribe to see our next adventure ✌🏼
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Lovely Johnny
