    Myself and a friend did this trail mid-April, but we started in Alexander Bay. Absolutely breathtaking. Would highly recommend it. And you dont need an uber expensive set-up either. We did it in a Renault Duster, bone stock (apart from all-terrain tyres), ground tents, coolerbox, and google maps (used the co-ordinates supplied by the trail management team), 2x20L fuel jerry cans, and 2x 25L water jerry's.

    I thoroughly enjoyed all the episodes. Well put together and all the different camera modalities including the drone footage make for an excellent experience. The routine of the day including the lunch stops and camping night setup with the meals for each day make it all the more enjoyable and relatable. Makes a lovely template for a similar trip. Thank you Matt and Nicole

    I absolutely loved this series. I first subscribed to your channel quite a few years ago because you had some of the best air rifle content on UA-cam, and for some reason I didn’t keep up with your channel for a few years. Now I’m back catching up on your spectacular content, and I’m so impressed with all of it. Thank you. As a side not, I live and travel across Saudi Arabia and I’m taken aback by how similar the two countries are! I could swear that some of those landscapes were shot here!

    Thank youso much Matt and Nicole, what a wonderful experience - I really enjoyed this whole series. What a marvelous and easy way to see all that remote incredible scenery, and enjoy it with you without all the work and bone jaring bumps 🙂. I'm looking forward to traveling with you guys again in the future. Thank you again from Colorado, USA.

    Hi Matt, I farm in this red dunes near Kleinsee, in the “ Sandveld” just South of Alexandersbaai, my farm house is 11 km from the sea, I farm with Dorper sheep and a few cattle, the Baffulo River run through my farm, it’s a dry river but have lots of water under ground. It only runs once in 15 to 20 years. I got quite a bit of game on my farm, love for you to come hunt here, I am sure you will love it.

    Matt and Nicole, many thanks for an awesome series, I truly enjoyed riding along. It is a trip we should have done last year December, however I was warned the normal December heat is unbearable at around the 50 degrees mark at times. And what happened, we had an abnormal cold December, grrr 😁😂. Looking forward to your next adventures.
