Travel Review: The Ai Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park (South Africa Self Drive)[National Parks]

[@DoggyMoggy]

Looks fantastic man! Those remote desert roads, incredibly beautiful. I wonder what they look like at night, can imagine the stars!! Thanks as usual for a great video. Looking forward to the campsite review too

[@TravelGigolo]

Starkly beautiful! Amazing contrast between the desert plains and mountains. It was quite an experience. Great camping experience too. Glad you enjoyed the episode, thanks for the feedback ☺

[@michaelflinn7784]

You have just put this on my bucket list. Amazing

[@TravelGigolo]

This is such a wonderful remote environment. Real solitude 👌🏾

[@lian1824]

I really like your informative videos, just some constructive criticism, that massive blinding red logo screen you use between scenes, man that is hard on the eyes!

[@TravelGigolo]

Oh! Never thought of that. Are you watching on a big screen TV?

[@lian1824]

@@TravelGigolo Yes I watch these on the TV, usually at night as well! No worries, keep up the good work 👍

Last time we were there we did not see a single soul for 7 days.

[@TravelGigolo]

Perfect 👌🏾😄

cool rock lines at the parking lots

[@TravelGigolo]

This is a really cool park, very different from what you would usually encounter in South Africa.

Spent 5 nights there last month. Did you visit Tierkloof and the caves as well ??

[@TravelGigolo]

We didn't get to do Tierkloof, ran out of time. I definitely want to spend a night in those caves. Where did you stay in the RTP?

[@markyeadon7271]

I stayed at De Hoop on the river. In via Akkedise pass and then out over Hells kloof.

[@markyeadon7271]

When you have time, I recommend a trip from Alexander Bay to Lamberts Bay down the sand tracks ( through Namakwa Nat Park & the diamond concessions. ) camping on the beach. Would make a good video of a seldom visited area of SA.

[@TravelGigolo]

Beautiful area. Very peaceful. We've done some of it, but not all in one go. #BucketList 👍🏾

[@TravelGigolo]

Drove past De Hoop, on the way to Richtersberg, but couldn't stop as it was getting late. Looks like a nice site.

[@SouthAfricanWanderer]

When driving from Joburg do you stop along the way? And if so where do you normally break?

[@TravelGigolo]

It's a long drive so in this case it was part of a road trip. Our preferred stopovers are Kalahari Water in Keimoes (quick one night stop), or Witsand Kalahari Nature Reserve for a longer break. The Growcery near Vioolsdrift is also a very nice stopover if you want to visit the cairns and go that way. I would recommend that.

[@SouthAfricanWanderer]

@@TravelGigolo Will definitely need to explore that part of the world more, hopefully soon!

[@TravelGigolo]

Definitely recommended 👍🏾👍🏾

[@johannmeiring4208]

[@TravelGigolo]

Campsite reviews coming soon! Thanks for the positive feedback!

[@laradematos]

Hope to return again one day. Would definitely revisit, stay longer

[@TravelGigolo]

Would be good to do both sides of Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park when Covid border restrictions are down. Beautiful place!

[@OverlandPlanner]

Starkly beautiful indeed!

[@TravelGigolo]

Absolutely worth the trip, such a beautiful place!
