Ladies and Gentlemen, a round of applause for Mr. and Mrs. Dubber! Hell of a job you 2, enjoyed every moment, I'm glad I subscribed. More please.

[@dumisanibhengu599]

Indeed....

[@johanweakley2658]

This was extraordinary to watch. Well narrated, extremely well filmed and totally fascinating to watch. Well done Matt and Nicole!

[@timothybrain2946]

I thoroughly enjoyed all the episodes. Well put together and all the different camera modalities including the drone footage make for an excellent experience. The routine of the day including the lunch stops and camping night setup with the meals for each day make it all the more enjoyable and relatable. Makes a lovely template for a similar trip. Thank you Matt and Nicole

[@dumanimjo609]

Myself and a friend did this trail mid-April, but we started in Alexander Bay. Absolutely breathtaking. Would highly recommend it. And you dont need an uber expensive set-up either. We did it in a Renault Duster, bone stock (apart from all-terrain tyres), ground tents, coolerbox, and google maps (used the co-ordinates supplied by the trail management team), 2x20L fuel jerry cans, and 2x 25L water jerry's.

At the eight minute mark you accidentally teleported to Mars. Really enjoyed this whole series. More like this please.

[@DustandDieselOverlanding]

What an amazing series. You captured everything perfectly. 👌🏼 Well done Matt.

[@mythos5809]

Excellent in every respect - planning, executing and reporting. First class.

[@johnallen8618]

It's been an awesome series, but that last camp site was just extraordinary, what a country, can't wait for your next adventure 😎

[@rickr5927]

Where would you be without Nicole hey... she's the hunter firewood gatherer, amongst many things... Well done to you Nicole.... Thanks guys for a wonderful and very informative series !!!!

[@jtakesaction]

Thank youso much Matt and Nicole, what a wonderful experience - I really enjoyed this whole series. What a marvelous and easy way to see all that remote incredible scenery, and enjoy it with you without all the work and bone jaring bumps 🙂. I'm looking forward to traveling with you guys again in the future. Thank you again from Colorado, USA.

[@adamgriss2025]

I absolutely loved this series. I first subscribed to your channel quite a few years ago because you had some of the best air rifle content on KZbin, and for some reason I didn’t keep up with your channel for a few years. Now I’m back catching up on your spectacular content, and I’m so impressed with all of it. Thank you. As a side not, I live and travel across Saudi Arabia and I’m taken aback by how similar the two countries are! I could swear that some of those landscapes were shot here!

[@MNinPerth]

Great Series - every episode special. Thanks for making and thanks for sharing.

[@nonibbs]

Thank you that was a marvellous trip and I loved it - I might never be able to do it myself, but second hand with you is almost as good as being there in person. You are right though about creating memories every trip adds another layer of experience and things/ sights to treasure for the future. Priceless.

[@karlandtoniavonbroembsen305]

Wow Matt. This was really an amazing series to watch. Thank you for sharing your wonderful and beautiful experiences with us. Stunning footage and the most beautiful scenery.

Awesome series! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

[@neelsmuller3716]

Hi Matt, I farm in this red dunes near Kleinsee, in the “ Sandveld” just South of Alexandersbaai, my farm house is 11 km from the sea, I farm with Dorper sheep and a few cattle, the Baffulo River run through my farm, it’s a dry river but have lots of water under ground. It only runs once in 15 to 20 years. I got quite a bit of game on my farm, love for you to come hunt here, I am sure you will love it.

[@paulninjahowson5790]

Nice one Matt and nicole, the drone shots really showed off the stunning scenery, I'll be in Cape town and then Namibia in January, absolutely can't wait....good luck for the future..?

[@dirktheron3425]

Matt and Nicole, many thanks for an awesome series, I truly enjoyed riding along. It is a trip we should have done last year December, however I was warned the normal December heat is unbearable at around the 50 degrees mark at times. And what happened, we had an abnormal cold December, grrr 😁😂. Looking forward to your next adventures.

[@owenntshane9439]

WONDERFUL. Well done.💥💯

[@mwmentor]

Thanks for sharing a really interesting journey... fantastic scenery and your insights and tips are really very useful to those who wish to follow in your tyre tracks... thanks so much... now you need to write a book 😄

[@garyglezer430]

Insane series! enjoyed all 8 parts!

[@duncanwallace7760]

You guys can be truly proud of this series. It was beautifully shot, it could have been on BBC and wouldn't have looked out of place. Well done and thanks for sharing an area which I've found fascinating since one night camping on the Orange River near Vioolsdrift many years ago.

[@thecrausecrew]

we absolutely loved this series! we did a trip like this for our honeymoon all along the orange river. it was SO fun!

[@tristanhall5971]

Thank you for this. It has moved up my bucket list. Only issue is my vehicle is running the trusty but thirsty, Toyota 4.0l V6 petrol engine. It's 180l tank will not be enough 😅

[@lionridds]

What a fantastic journey this was! Thanks to the both of you for sharing such an epic adventure with us. My wife and I really enjoyed this trip with you.

[@regsparkes6507]

[@psnwpestsnipernorthwest2196]

Great series, you two! Thanks so much for talking us along with your adventure.

[@DJ-bh1ju]

Gotta believe that drone would be handy if you lose the track in the sand or rocks... Put it up a few hundred feet and look around.

[@markweinsheimer9129]

What a stunning series. You guys rock. I couldnt wait to see the next video . Stay safe guys.

[@KOTW.Adventures]
