Hi, I work for South Korean broadcast company tvN. we would like to use your video on our history show. Currently, we are preparing the episode Human evolution. Could you please let me know if we could use an excerpt from it giving the credit to your channel? Thanks :)

Flippin epic bruh!
Absolutely incredible video!! Love it 🤩
@wesome !!!!
digital cameras, a computer, and software, can make any place(even a outhouse), look magical.
Pasop vir daardie enkel knyppers (Skerpioen). Soe n paar gevang dai kant
Walked Otter in 1976. Shelters - no doors, windows or chairs, beds etc. No toilets or ablutions. Finished in 3 and a half days. Would not say it is greatest in SA but worth adding to your bucket list. Have done most other trails including all of Table Mountain. My son's first ascent was Woodhead Buttress when he was 10 months old on his fathers back. Fish River 3x. I am now 83 with back problems otherwise would still be out there with a backpack. Happy walking.
Anıl sesin çok güzel. Saz ile de çalıp söyle , ara sıra da olsa .🎉
This is amazing, very keen to do this
Wow what a canyon.planing on visiting

Place of our Badimo
I’m flying out this morning in the same pursuit! Was it hard to find?
Awesome! It was pretty easy to find. In our case if was a bit challenging as we were in the clouds for hours. Enioy!
Love it & I'm Loving you guys loving it too!..Awesome,I'm not jealous at aaalll😉...Also,loving the music you chose..I'm bopping away here!..(whilst you were bopping around the Islands there...something tells me I'm doing something wrong🤔!)..
Very nice😍
You will be joining for the next Labs Drakensberg hike 🏔
@@ArnoPouwels yes
nice name man
mooi man!
Dankie Monte!
You paired it with such beautiful majestic music ❤
Thank you so much!
Waw😲😲😲
The Drakensberg is something else!
On top of old smokey! Thanx this is just super. Make it a bit longer next time.
The Drakensberg views are something else! We only had about 5 hours of clear views during our three day hike, was in the clouds for the ascent and descent... so sadly didn't get enough content for a longer video.
Did the Otter Trail in September 2007; I was visiting one of my best friends who lived in Cape Town and he said I should see if any spots were available and sure enough there was one space open! Without a doubt the most amazing 5 days of my life in the outdoors. I never did see the otters, but I did get to see lots of whales and dolphins. Thanks for sharing this!
Such a beautiful trail! You will have to come back for the otters!
@@ArnoPouwels I would love to, especially with my wife and kids (I was single back in 2007). Have you ever been to the Cederberg? I did a 4-day backpacking trip there as well and thought it was fantastic in very different ways.
@@ryanzondervan7780 Yeah the Cederberg is great! I've got a video about our trip on my channel if you want to check it out!
Tops👌👌
Thanks Brandon!
Incredible landscape. Great filming technique good editing. Overall Perfect
Thank you very much!
Just what I needed to finally make up my mind…. I am just from the Amatola hike and I need something In Mpumalanga
It is a beautiful trail, but nothing as challenging as the Amatola.
Home, ❤️ Qwaqwa
Do you have to pay the park entrance fee and conservation fee for each day of the hike or just one time?
Hi Amelie, you only have to pay for the hike itself which covers all the costs.
@@ArnoPouwels Thanks Did you habe a guide with you or did you plan everything by yourself?
@@Lillie-x5b We planned everything ourselves. There is a good Facebook group with most of the information that you will need.
I live abroad, and your videos make me miss home but also so proud to be from a country as stunning as SA. Thank you!
Our country is so beautiful!! Thanks for the comment!
