S1 - Ep 95 - The beautiful Gravel Road through the Great Karoo!

Turning off the road from Williston to Middelpos was exciting. This area had so much rain over the past few months and we never knew what the condition of these gravel roads were like, but we took the chance and what a successful trip we had. Coming over the hill and seeing the beautiful vast expanse of the Great Karoo appear in front of us was stunning, not to mention the dams of water everywhere. The Karoo is a dry area and to see so much water is amazing. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #middelpos #karoo

The karoo has its own beauty....and those donkeys...I will never leave

[@DustBugsTravel]

It was an incredible greeting by the donkeys at Oupoort, we felt so special. The owners said they've never done that before. 😍

Love the Karoo... the gravel roads...no traffic...🥴🥴🥴🥴

[@DustBugsTravel]

You're so right! That's why we love them so much. 👍🏻

Really nice with water in the road in die Karoo thanks for sharing

[@DustBugsTravel]

We've never seen so much water in the Karoo! And luckily the roads were still fine, so all good. 😁

Lovely to travel on the ground/dirt roads of the Karro. Does something for one's being

[@annawitter5161]

Its amazing how well maintained the major gravel roads are in the Karoo. Back in 1987 when we explored Verneukpan, we were amazed and the good quality of the roads.LOL! I can still remember my three year old son calling it a jet lion! I am an old Ouma now, but have all these beautiful memories. Until I get altzeimers...God Forbid!! Dis hoekom ek alles nou neerskrywe

[@DustBugsTravel]

You're correct. Virtually all the bigger roads in the Karoo are rather well-maintained and I can only imagine that they were in even better shape in the 80's. But then we choose to take the ones less-travelled and that's sometimes where it gets a little rough. 🚗 But we love it. This road from Williston to Middelpos was a particularly good road, albeit very evident that large amounts of rain had fallen in the months prior to our visit. 🌧️

How beautiful those little houses. Does someone live there? I loved your welcome.

I noticed you are getting good with the drone and I love the music that you compliment the aerial footage with. Good stuff, and to use your words, I love it

[@DustBugsTravel]

Thank you, I wish I could fly the drone more often in-between trips to get a little more practice, but work (and editing) keeps me way too busy. 😁 Appreciate the compliment though and glad you like the tunes too! 😎🚗

A gate for pedestrians? Eish. 😅

[@DustBugsTravel]

It's for the neighbours, they just walk across the road! 😁
