Wow I am speechless this is South Africa at its very best. One is so amazed at all this beauty, those rock formations are incredible. Thank you for this series it is much appreciated.

[@DustBugsTravel]

So glad you enjoyed it. You're right, those rock formations are magnificent and made us feel really small. It was a wonderful experience.

Poorts normally follow river beds, Passes go over the top of hills. The Swartberg range are part of the cape fold mountains and are geologically fascinating, in fact the whole area is fascinating and it is worth spending time exploring the valleys and other passes round there. SA has the most amazing passes to enjoy!

[@DustBugsTravel]

Thank you for the interesting info, it was a fantastic experience for us to drive through the poort. We absolutely love passes, keep an eye out for a fantastic one coming up in our video's! 😁

My grandparents lived in Ladismith and we always went to visit them for Christmas when I was a teenager. My oupa took us through the Seweweekspoort for the first time when I was about 14. I was so blown away by this beautiful place that so few South Africans know about. We used to have a braai in a place in the middle of the poort, and no other cars would come past us. Those were wonderful times!

[@debbiekruger9414]

Very well taken you two.

[@DustBugsTravel]

Thank you.

[@frederickmurray5766]

Imagine the guy who had to travel through those mountains to survey the best route for a road and pity the guys who had to build it. And they did not have CAT equipment back then...wow. Must have been an experience.

Not intimidating; Majestically Awe inspiring, one appricates God's Power

[@DustBugsTravel]

We didn't use the word in a negative sense at all, we're not big on negativity on our channel, especially not as far as nature goes. We meant intimidating in the sense that those giant, awe-inspiring cliffs made us feel small and insignificant. We still very much feel that way. 🤷‍♂️

[@emsiedevos9817]

Baie dankie vir jul reise deur ons pragtige land..

[@DustBugsTravel]

You're very welcome, we're so happy to have you along for the ride. 🚗😁

[@annawitter5161]

I never got round to doing Seweweekspoort. So thank you for an excellent recording. DRone footage was really awesome. Rock formations are stunning. I could spend hours just looking. Love the place where you stayed. Especially the rather Gothic shower LOL!

[@DustBugsTravel]

We were looking forward to Seweweekspoort for long time and it certainly did not disappoint. No footage can do proper justice to the raw beauty of the area, but we're so glad that you enjoyed ours. 😊⛰️ Kroo Guest Farm has been lovingly built over many years and to cause as little disturbance as possible to its natural surroundings. It was fantastic to be surrounded by mountains on all sides. The shower wasn't bad either! 😁

[@terryerasmus5746]

We thoroughly enjoy your episodes, C, they're so informative & spectacular. What is the name of the piece of music that you played when travelling through the pass ? I've heard it before when you do some passes, it's so powerful & moving.

[@DustBugsTravel]

Thank you, so glad to hear you enjoy our videos and like the music too! This particular track is called 'Immortality' by Aakash Gandhi, available on the KZbin Library. Such spectacular scenery deserves dramatic music like this! ⛰️🤩

[@teresagillmer9464]

I just want to mention about a book I have The Great Karoo written by Leon Nell .It has so much information.Ot from Exclusive books quite a while ago.

[@emsiedevos9817]

Miskien het dit die Voortrekkers 7weke geneem on daardeur te reis met ossewaens

[@DustBugsTravel]

That sounds like a good explanation in my book! 😁 I read somewhere that the name originated from someone's name that the locals struggled to pronounce and it became Seweweekspoort instead. Love it.
