Gidday Edward,
Just marvelous to see a new vid about a part of the country I know little about.
Cheers for that, mate.
Loved the bird calls too.
God bless,
Dave

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks for always commenting and supporting the channel Dave! Hope all is well your side 🙌

[@mthokozisicele7067]

I was born there (@Izingolweni).collected wood there... learned swimming and hunting there long before it got fenced and become a game reserve but it still fascinates me to take a drive with my friends. The best place for camping,hiking and everything.

[@tiagopinto-coelho1894]

Awesome video, can't wait to see you rock the iKamper. Looks really cool too (Thumbs UP!!)

[@EdwardBath]

Tiago Pinto-Coelho thank you so much! Really appreciate the comment and the thumbs up as well as all the support!

[@BlackAura72]

Brilliant! This part of SA is a place my family has never been to (after many visits). Thanks to this vid we now have tips and places to visit once all this experience of mask appreciation is over.

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!

[@marincodejager7704]

also one of our best places to visit when down there!!

[@deonvangreuning555]

Stunning vid, Oribi Gorge is truly a magical place, and the zipline is amazing. Haven’t been there in quite some time, definitely need to go back soon. Car looks good with new mods.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. KZN is often overlooked.

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much for the kind comment and for watching! I completely agree it’s overlooked and underrated. Going to be doing a trip to Northern KZN sometime to explore it even further 🙌

[@kubenkain7169]

@@EdwardBath , oh I can't wait to watch that ! Maybe you should have a meet and greet and exchange stories around a braai and camp fire.

[@EdwardBath]

Sounds good!

The shots outside the car have me confused, how does he take em. Does he stop and get out to shoot em or is it a drone he controls from the car?

[@EdwardBath]

Mluleki Cebekhulu I stop and setup a tripod and take them mate

[@EdwardBath]

You are not allowed to fly a drone within the reserve

[@TheLucifah]

I like the t-shirt😁

We were in KZN this past Dec from the 18th to Jan 8th. Lake Eland will be on the list of game reserves to visit on my next trip. We visited Kruger Jan 2nd, 3rd & 4th. Have been to several game reserves in KZN North all the way up to Mozambique. Love South Africa!!

Noice one Ed. What vehicle is it and where did you go?

[@EdwardBath]

Making me tired 😂 Vehicle is a 79 Series and went to South Luangwa 🙌🦡

[@4x4ventures_southafrica]

@@EdwardBath 😂😂😂😂 two of my favorites. Better than an Lc200 and Oribi George. Lekker episode mate, thanks for sharing.

[@greatsouthernoverland]

You do live in a beautiful country. There are a couple of Echo campers that have come up for sale here in Aust...A echo 6 and an echo 4. is ther anything you know to look out for? It seem like a brilliant flatform. Cheers for sharing Fella

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you for watching and commenting! 🙌 so I would personally go for the Echo 6, it’s bigger, has more storage, comes with a better tent and the platform is more modern which means you get a trailer that is superb behind the tow vehicle on both the black top and off-road! I would just check that there isn’t any rust on the chassis and if you can see it’s had a rough run I would replace essentials like the coupler damper shock, axle shocks and brakes. Other than that they are pretty indestructible 🙌 also check that the tent is in working order and then you are good to go! Cheers mate, hope that helps!

[@greatsouthernoverland]

@@EdwardBath thanks heaps thats plenty of info:) The 6 also has a great full awning as well. It looks like a ripper camper. Thank you for sharing your travels Fella

[@EdwardBath]

Vik Cebergs #greatsouthernoverland yeah the tent on the 6 is awesome🙌🔥 cheers mate!

[@JamesandElliesAdventures]

Yes Ed! Great to see more videos out and I bet I felt so nice to get out to a reserve again😃 also the temp difference between the cities and the reserves how isit so different? 🤨 can’t wait to see more future videos dude

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much! 🙌 it was amazing to get out hey, so Johannesburg is in the center of the country and this is near the coastline so it’s definitely a lot warmer here than in Johannesburg. Around a 10 degrees Celsius difference 🙌

[@nelsonchinasamy9857]

When I lived in KZN I visited Oribii Gorge several times. Beautiful place. Is the hotel still there? I know there was a tragedy that took place there, therefore I ask. I would love to visit from Cape Town and stay there.

[@EdwardBath]

As far as I know the hotel is still open, thanks for watching the video 🙌

how does the government know that covid only comes out at night

SSF556 I think the biggest problem is the shared ablution blocks and disinfecting them after use, but I agree a lot of the rules are nonsense!

[@saroad_runners1468]

Dont like the comment of 4x4 that you have now point to prove. Sometimes those roads take you tou great sites but stil you went on the 4x4 tracks.

[@EdwardBath]

That’s not what I meant by the comment, the vehicle is extremely capable so I don’t need to go on a track to prove how capable it is, I’m an overlander and 4x4 is part of the journey to these amazing destinations, make of the comment what you will.

[@saroad_runners1468]

No problem 😆👍👍👍I am not knocking you. Luv your channel!
