If I could recommend ANYWHERE in South Africa, it’s my uncle’s business! He runs a bike hotel just outside of Cape Town in a town called Grabouw, and the hotel is called Trails End. If you’re interested in a hotel that allows you to go straight out into the trails to run or go cycling then it’s definitely the place to go!
This was an awesome video guys. We've been waiting for your SA content since we met you in Mpumalanga and you gave us a tour of the van! Can't wait for part 2.
I turned my small old golf into a basic camper. My intention is to travel almost full time, even just around the Garden Route...until I get something more reliable...then I will go a bit further . My family think I am totally nuts, but that's ok with me.
Hey Heidi 😄 that is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing that with us 😁 South Africa has got SO much potential for places to travel to and the Garden Route is a pretty good place to start your trip 🤭 we don't think that you are nuts at all! We think you are brave and we are excited for you 😁
This was such a great video guys! I loved that you had to park and mentally prepare before hand - I would have been the exact same! I cannot WAIT to see moreeeee x
Marek - I love your long hair. It suits you. Sarah - you could make a great deal of money doing Voiceover work. What city is the "Hollywood" of South Africa? It must be Cape Town. The "Lilt" in South African English has just a hint Dutch, which makes it a deliciously rich and throaty sounding accent. And Sarah, your accent is very mild, but still evident. I really think you could get some work, either in your own country, or in the US or the UK. I did it myself for years.
Hi Eric :) I also love Marek's long hair! I am VERY interested in this voice over work you mention 😁 what sort of companies could I approach to find voice over work? I wouldn't even know where to start 😅
Hi guys 😄 Thanks so much! We absolutely loved this experience and we're sure you'd love it too! 😁 Where else in SA do you think would be nice for a van trip? 😍🇿🇦
Hi Courts! Thank you so much! What a beautiful country we live in 😍🇿🇦 I'm loving reliving this trip through these videos 😁 do you think you'd enjoy van life? 🚐
not what i was expecting (as you might remember?!) you both seem to be so excited - love to see that. i am waiting for part two. always a save journey!!! love from Germany...ck
Hi Christian! Yes I remember all your guesses 😄 Thank you so much! We are so excited about this trip and this South Africa series 😁 Thank you for watching! Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hi Rella! That's awesome 😄 we are seriously considering van life but it's a huge investment so we'll have to see about it 😅 we loved this experience though! 😁🚐
Will be watching you guys from Scotland. We are from KZN and own our own Van here. Building an all things Van website at the moment. Keep safe on your travels.
Awesome guys! All the best for your trip. I'll keep an eye out for your videos. So you guys are renting the van for your trip? Is there a time limit as to how long you can rent the van? What is the name of the place where you rented it? It looks fantastic! Clean and kitted out. I saw that you added the costs for your trip to get the van, but not what it'll cost you to rent the van for the 10 days. Could you give an estimate? I've been super curious about van life and have to convince hubby that we need to do this! Haha. Enjooooy! Love from Secunda (also in Mpumalanga!).
Interestingly, South Africa is quite a large country and with that the weather patterns and landscapes across the country are pretty diverse. We just happened to start our trip on a rainy day 😅 Luckily the next day was sunny and beautiful! Next video coming soon 😉 Thanks for watching!
Are you excited for the rest of our Van Life South Africa series? 😁🇿🇦
Yes I will be watching from Pretoria West ❤️🇿🇦
@@quitsevensix yay! We haven't explored Pretoria much but we've heard there are some really nice spots to visit there 🙌🏼😄
@@SarahandMarek VTM is a nice stop if you're near here
@@quitsevensix thanks! We'll keep that in mind for any trips that way 😄
So pumped to watch this series 🎉

Hi Thoriso! We remember meeting you guys in Pilgrim's Rest 😄 Yay! Thanks for watching, we're so excited to share the rest of this series 😁🚐🇿🇦
That is a very cool RV Sarah & Marek! 😎 I thought this was a really nice video. 👍 Bring on the rest.. I'll be watching again in the coming months...
Hi Ferry 😄 Thanks so much! We are so excited to share the rest of this series, we loved every moment 😁🚐🇿🇦 Is South Africa on your travel bucket list?
@@SarahandMarek
I would love to, but a 17-day round trip costs about € 2403.25 per person. A little over my budget at the moment though.. 😯
@@FerrySanders we totally understand! And we hope that things work out and that you are able to visit sometime 🤗🇿🇦
I'm looking forward to this. South Africa is a dream destination for me.
Hi Marcia 😄 Yay! We are so excited to share more of our beautiful country with you 😍🇿🇦
The new adventure sounds so exciting. We really can’t wait to watch your adventures! We can’t wait to visit.
We can't wait to share more of this series 😁🚐🇿🇦 are you planning a trip to SA!? 😄
Yes but next year. We have plans for the second half of this year!

Awesome content
Thank you so much Retha! 🥰
When I was 9 - I lived traveling in a VW Bus for three months in 1969. I had a hippy mom.
Being a kid in a van makes me think you would probably play outside more. Is that true? :)
That oats looks YUMMY 😜!
Hi Martin! It's one of our go to meals 😁 do you also enjoy eating oats? 🤭
M excited for you guys
You guys this is SUCH GOALS 😍😍😍
Thank you broski! We absolutely loved it!! 😍🚐🇿🇦

Howziiiiiiiit 🥳
South Africa seems rather like Wales ......wet
Interestingly, South Africa is quite a large country and with that the weather patterns and landscapes across the country are pretty diverse. We just happened to start our trip on a rainy day 😅 Luckily the next day was sunny and beautiful! Next video coming soon 😉 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. What was the cost of the van rental?
16 Thousand rand a week, I'm not convinced 🤔
What's the name of the camp?
Dullstroom on the dam 🥳
Here's a tip for ur gas bottle...
Lefty Loosey Righty Tighty
😂
Hahaha thank you, Sasha-lee! I will remember that next time 🤣
Please take your families advise. This is not Europe!
Whats your thoughts on the matter, Mariaane? 😊
Typical South African drama, drama, drama! 😏
Haha what do you mean by that? 😆
