Best Roadtrip Route in South Africa - Van Life along Route 62

welcome back ! We are Michael and Acacia travelling South Africa full time in our self converted van. In this video we are roadtripping the entire Route 62 showcasing campsites and activities along the way. Making our way from Franschoek to Jefferies Bay!
This is one of the longest wine routes in the world! The Cape Route 62 stretches across the Western and Eastern Capes of South Africa. This scenic route passes through farming towns such as Joubertina (Suikerbossie mountain cabin Airbnb is a must!), Calitzdorp, Ladismith (Oaks Rest Vinyards Campsite), Barrydale (make sure to stop at Diesel & Crème for a milkshake!) and Montagu (keep an eye out for the arch rock over the road)
Guano caves resort - insane heated pools, large touch farm, Mountain View’s
Oaks Rest Vinyards - our favourite campsite of 2022! Only 5 sites situated on a dam with mountains all around, very remote
Eagles View campsite - grassy sites with weeping willow trees with Mountain View’s and a epic walk/ cycle to a waterfall.
Suikerbossie Mountain cabin AirBnB - a MUST visit , very remote and off the grid with no other people insight! Surrounded only by the mountains with the most incredible sunrises and sunsets.

Would love to rent YETI for a weekend in the Western Cape area 🚌

[@MichaelandAcacia]

Hey! Unfortunately we don’t rent our Yeti as she is our home. Maybe one day when we get another van 🚐 we will either sell or rent it

Wonderful camp sites with majestic views! I have never seen them so empty. When did you travel?

[@MichaelandAcacia]

Thank you! So pretty out there. We filmed this in June 2022. Winter camping is our favourite, majority of campsites are empty 👌🏼

Was there a “guano” cave at the first stop? 😊 Beautiful scenery.

[@MichaelandAcacia]

Yes there was actually. Was one of the activities on the farm but we only stayed for one night and it’s a full day outing so unfortunately didn’t get to do it. Will do it next time! It’s a guided hike

This brings back so many memories of my trip along the R62 in 2010 thanks for posting. A question are you still going to upload new videos in 2014 ? Happy New Year.😊
