  • Welcome to our adventure along the beautiful Wild Coast of South Africa! Join us in our van Yeti as we explore this stunning area, soaking up the incredible scenery and experiencing all the amazing activities it has to offer.
    Our road trip took us to two unforgettable beach camps, where we set up our van and enjoyed the relaxed and laid-back vibe of the local communities. We woke up to awe-inspiring sunrises and spent hours soaking up the warm sun on the sandy beaches.
    We made the most of our time here by hiking along the coastline, surfing the waves, and even going on a freediving adventure to see the wildlife and marine life up close and personal. Our vanlife gave us the ultimate freedom to explore and appreciate this beautiful part of the world.
    Our vanlife along the Wild Coast was an unforgettable experience that we'll cherish forever. Join us on our journey and experience this incredible part of the world for yourself. Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave a comment to let us know what you think of our vlog and storytelling!

    20 years ago I lived for many months in my lovely van there. But never once needed a camp site. So many beaches and places to stay for free. An amazing country.

    White Clay. We were staying at Hole in the Wall and ended up meeting a few friends in Coffee Bay by pure coincidence. Ended up at White Clay Restaurant that evening for the most fabulous and friendly dinner of my entire life. Everything was excellent, the company the place the people and the wonderful food.

    What a beautiful area! Love the drone work, too. My husband and friends are planning a camping trip to South Africa next year from Canada. We can't wait! Two questions:
    1. What are the best websites/apps for finding campsites?
    2. What are the drone laws? We would love to bring ours with us.

    • @MichaelandAcacia
      @MichaelandAcacia  Рік тому +1

      Hey hey! Ahh thanks so much and that sounds super cool! We would love to explore Canada 🍁
      1 - we use an app called iOverlander and then just Google search. But we have been to nearly 100 campsites and have captured most of them on our website as well - www.saltycpro.com/yeti-the-van
      2 - drone laws are not as hectic as Canada. The main ones like airports and large crowds etc but like flying on the wild coast in open areas. Just fly and have fun ✨🎉

      @MichaelandAcacia  Рік тому +1

      Yes we feel safe. We do research about the campsite and the area. If we don’t feel safe we luckily have the option to just jump in the driver seat and head to a new spot

    Hey Guys just started following you. What a wonderful adventure you're having. My wife and I (much older than you:) are wanting to do this next year (working as we go....How did you decide on the Fiat Ducato? I have been looking at the Nissan NV350 (cheaper than the HiAce), but i think the Fiat cabin space is bigger and wider? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    • @MichaelandAcacia
      @MichaelandAcacia  Рік тому +1

      Hey hey. Ahh thanks! We mostly went with the Fiat because that’s the one that fitted in our budget. We also liked the more boxy shape for the Fiat. So we can sleep across the van, where as the others you have to sleep length ways because they more narrow. We also wanted the high roof so that we could stand upright in the van and then went for the short wheel base so we could drive it with the Code 8 license

      @@MichaelandAcacia great thanks. Over the weekend i did a lot more research and those were 2 of the common threads. I am tall :).. mine is also a budget thing, how have you found the Fiat has it been reliable? Then, also, when you've parked at camping site and you need to pop out for something, if a town is close-by, do you find that having a small car that you tow would be useful, budget aside? i suppose that would vastly increase your fuel consumption as well? (other than using bicycles of course)

    • @MichaelandAcacia
      @MichaelandAcacia  Рік тому +2

      @@user-qn2us4ne7q yea I would get the Fiat if you are tall. I’m also pretty tall and fit nicely.
      The Fiat is known as the best Vanlife vehicle in Europe so that’s why went for it.. Fiat has a stigma in SA but I feel that was from a long time ago. We love our van.
      We have never towed a vehicle so I’m not sure about that one. But it definitely will increase your fuel consumption a lot and will also restrict you when you traveling between campsites. It only takes 2-5 minutes to pack the van and move on. So we just use our van for transportation or the bicycle
