    Yet another amazing video! I would love to settle in Van Zylsrus. It would be so easy to find rest for the soul here. Thanks for the way you show our off-the-beaten-track towns and alll the other places you visit. I appreciate the effort you put into your work and can't wait for the next posting! Groot waardering.🙂

      Many thanks Errol, it was a hot day of filming and I would have been in trouble if it wasn't for lots of water and a soft drink or two! But what an experience. As I mentioned, I am biased but the Kalahari does have healing and / or rejuvenating powers for the right type of person. Glad you enjoy my content and look forward to the vlogs. Beste groete daar!

    Hi Willie I can just imagine how hot it is there, most likely temperatures in the forties. Not for the faint hearted,amazing how nature adapts to the climate

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  18 днів тому +1

      That is true re adaptation, Mary! It certainly is very dry in that part of the world but the flora and fauna find a way to make a living. Cheers as always for your support!

      Hi Cecilia, thank you very much for your comments! South Africa has so many wonderful places to visit and I've only opened the lid on some of them. I hope to bring you more content in due course. I am delighted to hear that you enjoy my videos and who knows, maybe our paths will cross at some point on my travels! All the best

    Well, I think you already know what I will say about the hotel, Willie! Love it!😍. The colours, the art, everything. What a beautiful place. And I am now learning that in your native language your "W" is a "V", your "V" is an "F" and your "Z" is an "S". Hope that is right😂

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  18 днів тому +1

      I knew you would love the variety of art and crafts there, Sheila! And I also enjoyed the splash of colour at the petrol station. Your observations about the pronunciation is absolutely spot-on! :D

    Nice video willie piece relevant reference for visiting about the town and informative very pleasant experience and easy access as you can walk very peacefully and watching the sunset, essential as might guessed as outback looks good. Lastly when are you planning furthermore videos or going to other places and thanks!

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  17 днів тому

      Cheers Simon! This town really is an outpost in a very remote part of South Africa. As for other destinations, I have some plans for 2025, but I have to take into account the algorithm and it looks like my South Africa videos are performing better compared to other destinations. I'll need to have a good hard think about my next movements. Hope you're having a great festive season!
