  • Situated next to the Berg River, Velddrif is a traditional fishing town where the Cape West Coast delicacy known as “bokkoms” has its origins. Fish Biltong.
    “Bokkom Laan” is where the bokkoms, or Velddrif’s biltong, are made. All along the road, you’ll find locals eager to share their knowledge and rows of “bokkoms” waiting to be tasted. Velddrif is the heart of the fishing industry on the West Coast. Many visitors go there and miss this undiscovered gem. Until now. Cross the Carinus Bridge and take a right along Voortrekker Road between St Helena Bay and Aurora. Stop at the view site beneath tall palm trees and watch ample waders in the waterway. Continue a little further and take a right into Bokkomlaan. Time seems to stands still as fishing boats bob in the wake next to numerous jetties. Fishermen can be seen preparing fish for sale as they did in the fishing heyday. Bokkomlaan is the first road to have been built in Velddrif. It was granted heritage status one year ago.
    Velddrif’s dry summers make it ideal for the extraction of salt from seawater - the main reason why South Africa’s main salt brand, Cerebos, decided to open a factory here.
    Famous for more than fish and salt, Velddrif also boasts pristine beaches and a host of restaurants and coffee shops.

    Loved the video. What is the song you used at the end called?

    • @AfricanTravelCrew
      @AfricanTravelCrew  3 роки тому +1

      The song is an original "Bokkoms en voetsak" written by Rick Thiart and Gerber Basson both featured in the video.
      Thanks for watching.
