Ep3 4x4ing & Incredible Views, Wild camping in The Tankwa Karoo. ROAM Overlanding

We leave Perdekloof in the Tankwa Karoo National Park, in search of adventure. Exploring the park further and tackling a couple 4x4 trails was on our agenda and certainly didnt disappoint us! It was a proper Overland adventure! Crossing through multiple Karoo Biomes, climbing the Leeuberg 4x4 Trail, traversing the majestic Rooivlei, and finally arriving at our campsite Volmoersfontein, for a beautiful night of wild camping under the stary karoo skies! The next day we leave the Tankwa and head to Star Wors Village to catch up on some camp chores and meet up with Nicky from Terrain Tamer who does a suspension inspection on the Hilux to make sure everything is looking good for the next part of our trip! What an adventure!

Another awesome episode guys! Nice work!

[@RoamOverlanding]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@georgesaaiman]

Awesome vid as usual. I did the Tankwa in flower season the place go's through a phenomenal transformation from dry desolation to lush green. Its a sight to behold.

[@RoamOverlanding]

I can’t wait to go back and see that!

[@SoulofMachine]

Enjoyed it bro! Looking forward to next ep.

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Another awesome episode Adrian. Thank you for sharing mate

👏🏻 thanks for tuning in Boety!

[@user-yr5fq7fd6f]

Beautiful places, great shots!

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Looked like some enjoyable 4WD tracks in this area. Its facinating how high grounds always changes the perpective of the area you are at. Thanks for sharing.👍

[@RoamOverlanding]

Very true! i was amazed by the satellite footage of Leeuberg, that it literally looked like a spine!

[@quintusvandermerwe4138]

I like you videos. Well done. Only one thing, your speeds on some offroad tracks and gravel roads are just too fast. Just my opinion. You trust your suspension too much.

[@RoamOverlanding]

I do trust my suspension 😂 And usually I drove forwards and reversed back, so I kind of know which speed is appropriate for the terrain. Sometimes I want the footage to feel a certain way and then the speed can help tell the story, like if there is dust trailing behind the car it makes it feeel different to if I’m crawling slowly over rocks etc.

[@sandyhowes9842]

Always good to trust your vehicle am sure that's why he was doing that speed. On a dusty road it would seem like you are going fast yet you only doing 70 kms an hour 🙏

[@sandyhowes9842]

I always look forward to your videos. Epic stunning breathtaking views 📸❤💪

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thanks So much for watching! 👌🏻

@@RoamOverlanding always a pleasure

[@walkerbay6373]

Excellent! Thanks. Can be windy there. No sidewall punctures? You were lucky!

[@RoamOverlanding]

very lucky! But we took it nice and slow, always trying to be aware of the tires etc.

[@paulsmit8147]

🤙👍

[@murraysulter1823]

Is it possible to do the tankwa park in an AWD, obviously avoiding the 4x4 trails but still travelling through the park?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Yes for sure; I mean mainly a high ground clearance vehicle is all you need 👏🏻

[@Malc664]

Nice travels. I wish I was there. I was wondering if you had side walls which can connect to your awning for those harsh elements when camping?

[@RoamOverlanding]

I have ordered them and will have for the future 🤟🏻

[@Malc664]

@@RoamOverlanding Good on you mate. 🆒

[@CraigAndersonPhotographer]

Hi, what Garmin / Tablet are you using for your TFA ?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey Craig, it’s called the Garmin Tread XL Overland edition, it has InReach Satellite communication built in as well, it’s very nice! 👌🏻

[@englishforsrilanka2535]

What's the cooker that you use brother?

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thank you! The red gas burner organiser is by a company called Trayvax, and it’s available in South Africa from Woodsmanwares 👌🏻

[@johnlincicum6390]

Question Adrian, was there a wild dog or some species of fox in the video? I hope you and your uncle Andy are doing well on your trip.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hey John! Yup that is a black backed jackal! Very common all over the country

[@johnlincicum6390]

@@RoamOverlanding awesome. The springbok remind me of white tailed deer here in Illinois. A big buck would be about 100 kgs/220 lbs roughly.

[@christophersaul]

Can you just pull over and camp anywhere there? Or does it have to be at designated camp spots?

[@RoamOverlanding]

It definitely has designated spots; it’s not a very big park so easy to get around to the camps etc

[@siphosibiya4472]

i'd never go camping there. it's in the middle of nowhere

[@RoamOverlanding]

That’s what makes it perfect for me 🤣

[@justinwelman2429]

Good job bru! I won't lie tho......why were you driving with gloves on? You might as well drive a ranger..... #belekker

[@RoamOverlanding]

Not a huge fan of scorpions when moving rocks on the trail 👍🏻
