    Awesome video guys! Thank you for all the great information and sharing your little tips. I've watched a lot of these kind of videos and I really resonated with the way you guys are so honest and stick to the basics. Love the Cederberg and just came back from a trip to Kagga Kamma in my Suzuki SJ410 1984 model witch is not the most comfortable of drives but man did I enjoy the absolute seclusion and peace. We camped at the bobbejaanskraal site the furthest away from base camp. No fridge, though, so most definitely need to look into that. You guys made me even more excited for our next adventure. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing

      In my view, the best first modification or upgrade for a overlanding / camping set up is a dual battery system. It allows for camp lights, charging of phones etc and a fridge.
      Until then, using a decent cooler box (Coleman) and frozen 1L bottles works wonders for 3-5 days acting as a fridge.

    Thank you for bringing back memories. I used to camp and hike at Zoo Ridge / Winkelhartz river about 45 years ago. The hike from the overhang took about 3 hours and we would spend Saturday at the river, returning on Sunday. If you study the rock formations to the west ( the ridge) and apply a little imagination you can see the animals of the zoo.

    I want to visit many a spot in South Africa and eventually Southern Africa in general. It's a daunting concept as I'm in my 60's and realise I have limitations. I've decided that once I cannot climb into my Mercedes Arocs 1836 cab, I'll swop it for a care home. I don't need to change my sunset view every night, but I will whenever I want to. I'd appreciate campsite costs and video/photographic equipment recommendations. I have a few months of planning to do still so if you'd like to get in touch, reply to this and I'll respond.

      purchase. I absolutely love it and get tremendous joy in driving it.
