Richtersveld. Isolation at its best!

The long awaited trip to Richtersveld is now just another memory. What a beautiful area of South Africa. It's been our 4th visit in the Richtersveld park and definitely not the last. It's food for the soul and resets your thinking of life in general. Spending time with family and friends is priceless.
In this video we travel from Cape Town to Highlander, the first stop over. Highlander is about 2 hours from Cape Town and a really good option for an overnight stop. From Highlander, we travelled north to Growcery Camp and then entering the Richtersveld on Day 3 via the Nababeeb area. It's a fairly slow drive but well worth the time. Our first 2 nights in the Richtersveld was at the Potjies Pram camp sites. It's next to the river which is a non-negotiable in summer months.
Part 2 of this trip will cover Potjies Pram to De Hoop.
Thanks for watching our trips.

AAAh Thank You. Worked up there in the Richtersveld for years. Good to see the place again, and refreshing to see it through new eyes. Met my wife in the Bay.

"Apparently the Jimny is quite stable..." aaaah the lie we all tell the bigger 4x4s 😂😂😂 Great video. Really liked this!

[@SimpleLifeOverland]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I've seen the Jimny in funny positions so maybe there's merit to the stability point :-)

Why are those children in the back not wearing seatbelts?

[@Deontjie]

Next time skip Potjiespram and go straight to De Hoop.

One of the BEST areas to visit in a 4X4! Nice video, and great to see family and friends enjoying the amazing scenery. It is a pity that you spoiled your video with music which is irrelevant and annoying, boet. I always prefer the sound of tyres rumbling, crumbling and crunching the hard ground and the sound of a good engine in videos such as yours. Well done, anyway!

[@SimpleLifeOverland]

Thanks John. Happy to respect your views regarding music in our videos. We don't mind criticism as we have no intention to be Voetspore or the likes. Maybe 10 years from now we'll have mastered the art of balancing video, voice, and music.

I enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing. I would like to know what the title of the song was, 14min in the video Groete Johann
