EPISODE 1
On this trip we visited Boegoeberg to go camping high in the mountains with our brand new rooftop tent for the first time. Boegoeberg is close to Clanwilliam in the heart of the main Rooibos Tea producing area in South Africa.
Frikkie joined us on this trip :-D
Our experience is presented in four videos, with each having a distinct focus:
Ep1: The road to Boegoeberg, tour of the Rooibos Tea harvesting and processing on the farm and a visit to the beautiful Boegoeberg main campsite on the farm (with very welcome swim in the sublime swimming pool).
Ep2: Driving the demanding Boegoeberg 4x4 trail up the mountain to the Kliphuis campsite. Please fasten your seatbelt! This mountain road was hectic and had our hearts beating well above normal, but what a thrill.
Ep3: Setting up camp at Kliphuis campsite with our new Eezi-Awn Jazz rooftop tent and relaxing by drinking in the spectacular beauty of the surrounding area and enjoying the evening braai.
Ep4: Waking up the next morning at Kliphuis campsite to a delightful show of ever changing mist around us. We also take you with us on our exciting descent from Kliphuis on the Boegoeberg 4x4 trail.
This was a glorious weekend, we hope that you will enjoy the experience with us. Thanks for watching!

It was so exciting to be invited to your gracious home, so we could accompany you from the start of this new adventure. I loved the entertainment provided by your two other pups and kitty, whilst Frikkie was mostly keeping a close watch on Werner, making light work of niftily packing everything into your 4x4. Frikkie was determined not to be forgotten! 😄 The day’s heat would have knocked me, but travelling there was a comfortable experience, with the aircon running and cosy cushions for Annelie and Frikkie to enjoy a little nap en route. It was most interesting to see the rooibos tea setup! And a new experience gathering a tub full of freshly prepared tea to brew later on. I was pleased to hear it undergoes a steam wash (after seeing the 🥾 and 🚜 walking and driving over the tea 😁. I noticed the earnestness in Annelie’s voice, when Frikkie was quickly called to come away 😁 He looked very keen to examine the tea up close and may have considered it a good enough spot to cock his leg 😂 Well done, Mama 👏🏻 The swimming pool looked inviting and you made the most of your cooling swim. Frikkie clearly felt more than one swim was a little unnecessary 😂 especially with all those marvellous new smells and places to explore! It really is a very pretty setting with the stone masonry structures, lush green lawn and pretty reeds and waterlily covered stream/pond alongside. I am so excited for the next episode - and to see you “christen” your brand new rooftop ⛺️

Hi Des, thanks so much, as always, for your beautiful and detailed comments, we appreciate it! Let me first apologise, last week I said that we will skip this Sunday, but after working on the Boegoeberg footage this week we realised that there is simply too much to show to restrict this to only two episodes. The final decision to present the Boegoeberg trip in 4 dedicated episodes was only made yesterday afternoon! So, we will be posting the next 3 episodes the following 3 Sundays. Ep2 will be very different to Ep1, as it is focused on the hectic drive up the mountain, but what fun it was! 😀 Yes, Frikkie is certainly not alone at home, you met the double D's, Dawie and Dougie, in this video, our miniature dachshund darlings, playing in tandem with our young black and white cat, called Fez... There is one more cat, Katryn, we will make sure to capture her in a future video 🙂 Frikkie remains the best travelling partner though and will keep making exclusive appearances in our videos as far as possible (he is the channel mascot after all, is he not?) 😉 Thanks for being so loyal to our channel and all your encouragement. All the best! Werner, Annelie and Frikkie

Yes, it was such a surprise to find you’d posted this delightful episode today as I was only expecting to meet up with you again, next week 😄 That’s why I was a little later than usual - but I’m not complaining at all! I was so happy to see you and even more so now, knowing there’s more to come each of the next three weeks 🎉👏🏻 Frikkie has definitely earned his place on your channel and he won me over from the first time we met ❤️ It was a joy to meet the “at homers” today - such a happy menagerie you have to return home to after each trip away. Our little canine and feline companions certainly complete our lives, don’t they?

Hello guys 😊 This was a really nice way to relax this Sunday afternoon. I'm just so amazed how you guys find your way to these "middle of nowhere" places 😅 It must be such a wonderful life to constantly experience pure nature! I'm a rooibos drinker so this was pretty interesting 😊 I'd love to know how that very raw tea tasted 😅 Frikkie is an absolute darling, and nice to see your other pets playing together at your beautiful home 😊 I would also definitely stay in that pool in that kind of heat! Thanks for the video ❤

Hi Kate, thanks for your lovely comments, you should know that we are anticipating and looking forward to your comments when we post a video 😀 We are very pleased that you are travelling with us to the interesting places. These places in nature is easier to find than you may think, South Africa is such a beautiful country, but the special places in the Western Cape are easy to stumble upon 😊 We love bringing it to you in our videos... Yes, in addition to Frikkie, you met our other two sausages as well, they are the double D's, Dawie and Dougie, obviously teaming up to keep our cat, Fez, busy! 😂 Frikkie is, however, by far the best travel partner! Hope you will have a great Sunday 😀 Werner, Annelie and Frikkie

While you are there....Learn the history of the Benede Oranjerivier.From Boegoeberg to Augrabies.....This is where Thousands of poor white africaners during the depression in 1933 got 6ha plots of land for free...in exchange they helped to buildt the irrigation scheme....use the money they earn...and slowly developt their land....the same was with soldiers who came back from WW2 .. it was not easy...they worked for 10sjillings a week...but it was hard times....so that you can tell the White Domkoppe who claim africaners never got land for free that , that is NOT true....you currently stand on land that once was given to someone for free...Its time to learn your own history...I wish I could take you on tour from there to Vioolsdrif...my family concurred that land .....

Boegoeberg se dam is ver van Boegoeberg af. Daardie dam het die boere met die hand gebou teen 'n klein daaglikse loon.
