This may be the coolest hiking film I’ve watched, and I’ve watched 100s and 100s. So many unique elements. I’ll be watching this again. Well done. I LOVE how you filmed some locals, the monkeys, horses, the caves, the moon, stars, everything. Stunning film work.

Oh, you know, Kraig Adams was exactly the one I recollected while watching. I even wanted to say that to Harmen, something like "oh, your film is as impressive as Kraig Adams' ", but thout later that it, perhaps, could be not too flattering and pleasant to here- to be compared with someone else:). These two guys are definitely high professionals in such kind of videos.

I have now seen both, the full version, and this shorter one of "The Drakensberg". I'm lacking superlatives that would describe well enough my feelings. Both versions are the best hiking or nature videos I've ever seen, in KZbin or elsewhere. Outstanding cinematography, every scene so complete, the beauty, and on the other hand - the hiking challanges of the area so well presented, all those breath-taking drone sequences, and all the trouble you have seen to get that splendid material, and such an outstanding result of editing. Ýou truly are very, very talented, Harmen. Heartfelt thanks for these two wonderful visual experiences!

I was young when I first hiked through Drakensberg, I'll never forget the taste of the purest water I've ever had, the clearest star light sky I've ever seen, and the most at one with the earth I've every felt. Great Video, brought a lot more back, like the signs of long dead animals, back to the earth only leaving their bones behind, the lives of the many living out there, people, animals and plants. Great watch!

Harmen, this is the most inspired and inspiring piece of film making I've ever seen about the Drakensberg. I'm from Durban, now living in Germany, and I've hiked in the Berg, once for four days with three others, sleeping in caves. But what you depicted was at another level! Breathtaking shots and time lapses. All of it. Having travelled a fair bit, South Africa's beauty and people still hold the number one spot for me. But you have shown me its beauty beyond what I knew before. Gratitude maatjie!

So beautiful Harmen, another banger! This is an outstanding production, you really know how to put South Africa on a stage. Looks like you had an incredible time out there and an awesome adventure. I am gonna rewatch that HIKING MOVIE, again and again, thank you so much for putting in all the work. You motivated me to record my own hikes (even if I am still walking in my "baby's" shoes regarding the skill set, compared to your knowledge and sense of filmmaking). So sad that I didn't have the passion of recording hikes while walking the trails of Namibia, Rwanda and Zimbabwe, but I am gonna go there again hopefully someday, as Africa is such a beautiful and colorful continent. Thank you again for providing content like this for free. Happy Easter and stay safe out there. Best wishes, Mario

His sensitivity is in details like the contrast of the camera frames, the poetic blurs, it made me reflect. The “songs” at certain times. An emotional scene was when you were walking alongside the children. There is artistic composition in this video! And I'm happy for you Harmen! Good luck on your journey, and I'll be here with you!

Glad you enjoyed it! Editing alone took me almost 100 hours (including the extended version for next week). I'm definitely a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to editing, but glad people notice. Makes it all worth it.

Thank you so much for great pleasure to see this magical scenery! I'm deeply impressed. Thank you for detailed description of all equipment you used. Can be really helpful for other hikers! Btw, it made me smile to see in description that you had liked everything including weather:). I thought while watching- "raining every day. The guy wasn't too lucky with weather":). Big regards from Russia! :)

Hi Helen. Thank you! Haha, of course rain isn't always fun, but it part of the experience, and as long as it doesn't rain all day every day, I like it. (;
