Hi. I’ve bounced through all sorts of borders in Southern Africa( as far as Kenya). My general rules are 1) I always cross in jeans, collared shirt & shoes. ( even if I take them off 5 km into the country) - shows a bit of respect. 2) all my documents are in a flip file and easily at hand. I have copies with details highlighted which I hand to the officials ( if I make their life easier they’ll make mine easy). 3) always smiling, respectful and pleasant to the officials( they have the power to make your life hell) 4) in known difficult crossings ( eg. Tunduma ) I use a runner - the cost is worth it.

I turned in there in May 2024. All looked well but didn’t “feel” right. I went for a drive and ended up at Ponta ( I have a 4x4) where i stayed for a week.

Been a yearly camping spot for me for over a decade now. Just me, the bike and a small tent.

Don, you the man!... Great footage and awesome info

We were privilege to camp next to Don for few days a great guy and a wonderful place to stay agree 8 out 10 Sue and Stuart

Lovely . 🧡

Great review Don! Welcome back 😉

Sounds a wonderful place to visit, one for the bucket list. Looking forward to your next vid

You are alive! 😂

Hi Don....watch all your videos-very informative-i am already looking for a caravan and will be doing exactly the same thing as you in the future.

Beautiful. Well done 🎉

Thank you very much for the tips.

Awesome review. Thank you

A Tiny House would suit me to the ground! I'm going to be living in SA again after being in Europe for the last 25 years, and a house like this would be just what I need. Will be getting in touch soon 👍 Also, I would like it to be off-grid, so solar and gas would be good. I hope that can be done.

It’s a ford. What do you expect.

Great stuff, Mahindra with a Bundutop. That's an excellent combination, as long as the ropes on the winch don't resign.

Thanks for the video

Mozambique is no picnic. You have to shop around. You need advice. It can be the best and the worst place. And the locals will take advantage of you if you allow it. Mozambique is completely different to the other countries in SADC. And it's expensive. But it can be magic.

Unfortunately the Enkulu 4 caravan is no longer available. This was my choice, until they told me that they no longer manufacture it. I have now bought a Liberty Cruiser (manufactured in Port Elizabeth) and I'm extremely happy with it.

We have a private nature camp on the lake in Ponta Malongane called Camp Lagoa..i think you will love it..Pay us a visit for Quarter of that price

T'S NOT NICE to have hundreds of worms clinging to one's body, no matter how dangerous they are - or not. Campers should be warned or at least informed that these worms are in the dam - where people are encouraged to swim. Instead I got a "sure there's nothing dangerous in there, it's hot, have a dip" from the owners.

I believe the worms are tubifex worms and are not really a problem for humans. They are used as food for aquariums.

Hi Don Do you have a contact no from Foster? We are coming back to SA beginning next year. We also want to start caravaning. In the future, a mud house would be great. Regards Jurgen

Watching from Mkhuhlu (mpumalanga)... it was an interesting view

I camped in Mozambique last year. I will never go back there again. Can’t stand border crossings with the corrupt pigs there. So I’m sorry Mozambique government. You lost out on my revenue.

Hi Don Stuart and Sue from Sabie how are you keeping ? We are back home planning our next trip too Bass Lake near Cullinan for next month.

You tell it all so comically I chuckled roundly. Now I know why EVERYBODY who I have heard about it simply says they've been there and say nothing more

Thank you for such an informative vlog! Loved the visuals and narration. Enjoy your adventures.

👌👌👌

Thanks for your videos. Planning to visit mozambique soon...

Great adventure!

Nice place to put on my bucket list. One question... how is your caravan on dirt roads? I am undecided as to what type of caravan to buy (second hand), one of these 4x4 types, or a standard caravan (which is my preference). I hope to travel provincial dirt roads, but no extreme tracks..

My mom was quite an intrepid traveller. She sold everything bought a caravan and traversed South Africa all on her own! Until she couldn't anymore. Sadly she passed away exactly a year ago today. Not many widows in their late 50's / 60's would have the gutsiness to do what she did.

I have been drinking SA tap water from when I was born till 2018 I am 60 years old since 2020 some municipalities water quality has deteriorated and now I filter all my water

How terribly depressing...negative talk...sickening actually....

Glad i dont have a caravan. Such a hassel...will go for the van much better.. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯💯

Hi Don Sue and Stuart from Sabi say hello 🎉

Guys you need to start using Bluetooth speakers solves most of your problems

This is an amazing off road camper...but still too pricey for us. Although it's much better priced than the Bush Lapa & Bushwakka.

Hi guy's I recently retired - built a tiny house on wheels - been visiting some nice well run camping sites such as Warmbaths, Jongensfontein stillbaai just to name a few - there's lots of other good caravan parks to choose from - most charge just under R4K per month and you can stay for a maximum of 3 months on same site - my TH was built from a 3m x 2.3m second hand cargo trailer - it's got all the comforts of home - it's even got a TV and Air fryer with a skylight for the night stars - is totally off grid with eskom connectivity but like you and most like minded, I would love to be a homesteader - as much as possible grow my own food on my own 2 hectare plot with a lovely view that's to die for. Land in the Western Cape is just too expensive - I really wish and we should lobby government and municipalities to make this type of land available for sale - I just love this type of lifestyle - watsapp me 082 5741465 for more advice /information on TH building and videos etc

Thanks a million for all your valuable info

Thank you Don... much appreciated.

😊😊😊Thank You Don😊😊😊 Please could you tell me if the road to Riverbend is suitable for a motorhome considering its weight and height.

😊😊😊Thank You!😊😊😊 Please tell me if the dirt roads to Isinkwe Bush Camp would be suitable for a motorhome considering its heaviness and height?

Hi I enjoy your videos.Im about to start my adventure and was wondering which camera you use,im looking at gopro.?

Lekker Uncle Don! Very happy to have met you enjoyed the Conversations. Hope you enjoy Sabie as much as I do. Regards Ruan.

Thanks for this review. I'm heading to KZN woman alone with my Jurgens and SUV end of 2024 and need long term stay recommendations. This has helped so much 😊

What if you haven't got an carravaan of your own is there place where you can put an tent up with power

Are you just camping or do you stay permanently sorry to ask is it cheaper than renting an place from someone

Another great and informative video
