A three-day journey through the magnificent Baviaanskloof mega reserve in South Africa begins! Join Nicole and I as we head West to the entrance on the road less traveled and descent through the Nuwekloof pass into true isolation.

Cheers Matt, thanks soo much for the beautiful vid, mate. Your work is a showcase of God's wonderful handiwork! How wonderful. God bless, Dave

[@psnwpestsnipernorthwest2196]

Great utilization of simple, modern, relatively inexpensive tools to capture almost Hollywood quality cinematography. Good production and editing. Beautiful scenery and appropriate amount of narration. God bless!

We used to camp in the Groot Rivier Poort when I was a kid in the 1980s before we moved to Australia. I still remember it well despite how long ago it was. We would take out Kombi Van and cross the river, which was exciting. Sometimes walk up-river for an hour or so and camp under a huge yellow-wood tree. I nearly stood on a puff adder on the way back once, which I still remember well, as it gave me a hell of a fright. Thanks for making the video and bringing back old memories!!!

Absolutely gorgeous scenery and such a fun adventure 👍👍👍

[@Basmatiminarii]

Very nice capture of an area we used to travel a lot in the 90s. Seeing it from the drones perspective is awesome. You get to see just what craziness you actually drive through. Beautiful

[@Uchvryheid]

Matt, I truly enjoy your videos. Thanks to you and your wife. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@darkiee69]

I've seen Itchy Boots do part of it on a 250cc Honda. 😊

Thank you for making these places known to use ❤

[@heinrichstyer5388]

Beautiful territory Matt.

[@pesthunteroutdoors]

The roads and the sheer cliffs almost remind me of fish Creek trail along the salt River in Arizona 👍

[@hugohernandezandrade2053]

excellent adventure luck

[@wadehowe4022]

Excellent job Matt

[@richardaustinaustin1890]

As usual Matt, the filming is outstanding! And what a country, am only 10 minutes in and had to write a comment. Did you meet any other people on this route?

[@nicholastheuma2743]

Truly Inspirational .. so glad I found your Channel, Matt. Been through a couple of times. Also on my bicycle (Transbaviaans) As you said, you cannot see enough of it. Always different. Thanks

[@bertrayner1000]

Thank you Matt and Nicole .Love your videos .

[@malcolmbrierley9791]

AIsh love the vid bud but the speed version makes me dizzy and I miss the scenery, I know you live there and take it for granted or maybe just want to get from A to B without boring the viewer but the country is so beautiful I could watch it all day. Great stuff otherwise I watched the long trip up to Namibia through Vic Falls and back all night last night, brought back so many memories as Ive done that area way back in the 70's when I was a yougster

[@lamintouray7386]

Reminds me of itchy Boots trip there.

[@ccmogs5757]

Stunning part of the world , good vid. :)

[@michaelflinn7784]

Thanks man. I have to do this.

[@SoftPorridge]

Camera quality is amazing

[@buffalo4127]

Beautiful video… couldn’t help wondering about wild animals in that region?

[@kansasairhunters2057]

👏 excellent shots! How do you get those perfect angles!!

[@lionridds]

Awesome trip this and great footage! Do you have the tracks to share please?

[@BosllaLighting]

Nice film! Any interested in trying out our B4 3 colors led bulbs or 6 modes led light bar? 😀

[@charlbotha8138]

That's a trip my late father and I always talked about. It's on my bucket list for next year. What do you reckon is the best time of year to do it?

[@mattdubber]

If you are camping, winter is probably not best! But if you like empty campsites, then winter is best😂

[@charlbotha8138]

[@elliottmedia575]

Howzit. Like the videos and how you go about inviting us along. Shot boet! What tent you using? Appreciate - take care

[@stanleynicholson6503]

Hi Matt. What navigation system do you use?

[@michaelridgway1628]

Matt I am keen on doing this trip but have an xt140 trailer. In your opinion is it possible? Tow vehicle is a Hilux 2.8.

[@martinweideman9651]

Hi Matt is it possible to contact you for some information about routes through Baviaanskloof , my wife and i want to do a trip in December

[@agustinlorenzo4823]

Hello Matt, do you run wheels spacers on your Hilux ? or do the K02 tyres fit just fine?

[@mattdubber]

No spacers needed, they fit fine

[@wanderingheart]

Great music around 15:00 Anyone any idea?

[@johanswart8116]

We drove that single cement road when we went hunting in 2018. Willomore hunt.

[@mattdubber]

Its a terrible road! A Toyota Corolla tried to overtake me and rolled right in front of me. Would have gone into me if I didn’t brake as I saw him trying to overtake. One of the reasons we got to camp late😂

[@johanswart8116]

@@mattdubber thats what always irritates me especially on dirt roads. When someone overtakes you on a dusty road when you driving 100kmph and then they drive 80kmph in front of you. Some people also don't have any patients. Glad you guys are ok. I Would have been very angry if that idiot damage my new bakkie after you spend so much money on it to get it where it is. My friend was in a head to head collision in town with a taxi. He has an ARB bumper on his mazda bakkie. The taxi was moertoe. Could not drive anymore. He only had to get a new indicator lens cover. R12. LOL
