Try letting some air out your tyres when travelling on dirt roads. It will soften your ride and the dirt roads will not be as harsh on Trudy. I grew up on The Bluff and still live in Durban. Great videos.

For those people who e been complaining about the drives in India just watch this video. You don't choose how cultures and countries are. Here they drive in a busy Maputo. Just as crazy busy but no honking. I'm just saying that these guys film the true conditions. I actually love seeing all the different places and cultures as they drive through these countries. Yes India was nuts, but it was so amazing to see it.

I grew up and this was my norm. I always took it for granted. I live in the US now and your videos make me homesick. I can still smell the air and feel the soil. I try and take a group of friends to SA every 2 years and love to see their reaction. I am blessed to have been raised in SA. Enjoy every moment. I think the best therapy is being in the bush with no cellphone signal and be between the animals. SA is a beautiful couuntey and so diverse for the relatively small land mass.

Your delight in our animals has reignited my love of them in a big way. It's so easy to take this all for granted, thank you for the reminder and the appreciation, and may your travels be blessed always and all ways.

If you guys are planning to return to SA and travel in the national parks in South Africa have a look at getting a Wild card online it covers your entrance/nature conservation fees and initially it sounds like a lot but if you add up all the places you can go to it is actually better to have a card.

Your delightful fresh awe of the wildlife and scenery is a wonderful reminder of how privileged we are! Love the random details you include in your videos, mostly your interactions with local people.. This being a factor that many KZbinrs often forget to include. I'm sure by now you've already been thru the Kruger National Park, but if you think the wildlife was impressive in this video... Wait for it!
