The Gariep Dam, South Africa's Inland Sea.

The Gariep dam is one of South Africa's largest dams. Travelling at 100km/hr, it takes almost an hour to drive past it. Known as SA's Inland Sea, it was constructed on the Orange river to supply water to the Fish river irrigation scheme, which it supplies via an 80km tunnel towards the east, into a totally different catchment area. This video takes you over the dam wall, and also across a narrow bridge below the wall as well. Enjoy!

Inland sea? Ja wel nou fine

OK fine, there's no sharks. 🙂 Anyway, this is the biggest body of water we have in South Africa. Over 50km in length, you must give it some credit.

Why didn't you show the actual dam?

[@wrinklyo]

Ya sorry Samson, you're right. Firstly, the dashcam can only see so much to the sides, and so you only get to see the edge of the dam. Also, being winter, the dam water is the same brown as the countryside, so the dam water just looks like flat land in a lot of the views of it. I want to go back there in the summer and do a better job - when I took this video I had only just started my KZbin channel, so didn't plan very well. So apologies, but keep checking - a better video of it will be posted in the future!
