Adventurous people bringing rural rural South Africa to us.

Hi guys little big town citrus centre very true even a traffic jam of pallet trucks .loved the guy doing sewing alterations on side of the road. I agree with Justin nice to see the roads being fixed up busy high street with plenty of shops the town is thriving all down to the citrus industry. Lovely tree lined streets with beautiful bottle brush trees. The truck with the fruit pictures Sonia said narjies my friend had a bar in Amsterdam called bar narjie .the RC secondary is a surprise as I went to a RC secondary school. The bowls club and golf course immaculate well done Eric 👏. Amazing drone footage. The bull and cow walking down the road crazy. DRF church was stunning and so well kept especially the lollipop bushes. Very interesting history Mr kirkwood was delighted a visionary. Thanks for taking me along great video cheerio till the next one

Oh wow what a beautiful town, kept clean and the surroundings so beautiful. So glad Kirkwood had the vision to build and plant in that area. I love the Eastern Cape and so excited that you are showing us more of the beautiful little towns and bigger ones. Thanks so much. Drone footage showing the beauty in its entirety.... stunning ❤

I was very happy when the drone was up again. Beautifull birds eyeview..

Great 👌👌👌 beautiful town ❤❤❤

What a nice little town. I love the vegetation and the town is well kept. It is obviously mainly driven by farming activity. They surely have no water problems! The drone footage was excellent and gave us a good view of the town and surroundings. I always under estimated the size of the town but now I know what it looks like. Thanks Sonja for the history of the town - it is always nice to be informed of the history which goes beyond visuals only. Thank you so much for this one - well done. Till the next trip - I will keep my seat warm!

Beautiful Dutch Reformed church👏👌

Loved being elevated above the chaos of those extensive roadworks 🚧 via the TWO drone viewings 👏🏻👏🏻 of this very busy little town. I was very impressed with the well maintained garden/bowling greens - the Gardener deserves commendation for his diligence and commitment. It was also thrilling to see how much water was thundering along in that canal!

Love love Kirkwood. The mountains are so beautiful. Pity about the heavy traffic.

Kirkwood……Citrus capital of the Eastern Cape….Wowzer🎉

So good to see a town in South Africa actually making an effort to repair their roads. I remember in the 1970's when there was a surplus of oranges in Kirkwood. They trucked the oranges to the Addo elephant Park for the ellies. That caused an uproar because people thought the oranges should have been given away to the poor. It is so nice to see where you guys stay on your trips and also watter soort kos of padkos julle eet. I have only been to Kirkwood once when we lived in Uitenhage and Despatch. Thanks for taking me there on a second visit. Have you ever had a puncture on your travels ? I ask this because you seem to drive on some pretty dicey tracks and areas around the old railway stations. There can be nails or glass etc .

Hi Everyone @ Dustbugs Travel The Drive Is s Beautiful And The Countryside And The Scenery Is Too Beautiful If You Back At The Eastern Cape In Summertime You Must Look At The Starry Skies And The Beautiful Sunsets And Early Morning Sunrises Thank You So Much For Sharing Your Beautiful Video @ Dustbugs Travel 👍👍❤️❤️

Very nice to see all the upgrades happening in and around Kirkwood, been there once but cannot remember much. Love the bowling greens.

Iedere keer geniet ik julle content. Mooi loop

What a lovely place so clean and busy. The citrus really does it for this not so small town, it looks amazing from the drone. Brings back lots of memories.😊

Drone shots…..perfect 👌

Hi Curtis & Sonja. Fortunate to live very close to Kirkwood, been there on numerous occasions but really saw a whole lot more from drone footage.Hoping you got to taste some of those delicious oranges. 🍊🍊Thank you & safe travels

Spectacular views👏👏👏

So glad you showed us some of the surroundings with your drone. It helped a lot to "experience" the town with you.

Lovely blue skies👌👌

Its actually a big town…..Wow!!!

Hi you two! An amazing approach to the town under blue skies with beautiful greenery on a gravel road through dinosaur country! Thank you for taking me along to this fascinating town. You must have been exited to discover a station again. Such a pity it is out of service, the rail system could mean so much for the roads. Your two drone views were excellent again, showing the nice layout of the town. The treelined streets, beautiful homes, green lawns and bowling greens are exceptional for such a bustling town. Repair work on streets and roads never bother me. I'm only too glad to see it being done. The Kirkwooders are clearly keeping an eye on keeping their town neat. Thank you Sonia for the history and other background. I'll be waiting on the side of any road you decide to take next! Keep safe!

Was hoping you would visit Kirkwood! Both my grandfather and great grandfather were Field Cornets of the Sundays River Valley. Great grandfather's farmhouse "Hillside" still stands at the base of the hill you climbed to the Look-out. Surprised you didn't notice all the spekboom growing up there. The "uie" in Uie Rivers, I think is Afrikaans for "onion". My great grandfather is buried in Uiepoort cemetery on the outskirts of Kirkwood. He was killed in a road accident near Hillside in 1902 when his horse drawn buggy collided with an overturned ox wagon. Amazing things happened back then! I am lucky to have a copy of Jane Meiring's history of the Sundays River Valley.

Wow what stunning places you are taking us to on your adventures, a beautiful town that might just enjoy an influx of visitors and possibly more residents after watching this episode. I could immediately tell that Eric was proud to be looking after the greens in your opening shot on your arrival at the bowling greens, by his stride. The setting of the golf course is stunning and what a spot for a hospital. The fact that the town sports a private hospital is what probably makes it a viable option as a commuter town. Were there any signs of this, that is residents live in Kirkwood but do their economic activities in Kariega or Gqerbha (Sonia prounces it so well 😂)

Dat waren prachtige runderen die heerlijk relaxed langs en over de weg liepen. Zeker die grote kolos was indrukwekkend 🐂, ik dacht even het lijkt wel een bizon! Een verrassende plaats met veel activiteiten op, langs en gelukkig ook aan de weg zelf. De bibliotheek uit 1921, daar had ik in die tijd wel willen rondneuzen in de collectie. Pech dat de oude kerk niet van dichterbij benaderbaar was maar op dat moment had ik daar toch minder ‘oog’ voor. Want ik ging helemaal op in het boeiende verhaal van Sonia over de ‘gouvernement-betaling’, dat klinkt toch een stuk chiquer dan ‘loonzakje’ 😄💰. De sports gronde, weer een prachtig Afrikaans woord (wij zeggen sportvelden), liggen er prachtig onderhouden bij, en met een golfclub in town klinkt het als een welvarende gemeenschap. Knap dat jullie de zo te zien hypermoderne KFC wisten te weerstaan voor een snelle snack in de auto. Thanks for the ride 👍🚗 Donderdag ben ik mogelijk wat stiller op de achterbank want ‘s ochtends haalt de kaakchirurg er bij mij 2 kiezen uit 😬🦷. Daarna volgt de beloning van het bekijken van jullie volgende mooie bestemming.

Thank you for taking me to kirkwood. Ive always wanted to go and now I have. Gorgeous place and lovely vibe. Oranges and Aloe country. Whoop whoop where to next with the dustbug? 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂

I remember Kirkwood well. We used to pass through on the way to Addo. That is certainly an awesome view! Back then, Kirkwood was very small. There seems to be more of it now. Ha ha! Kirkwood rush hour! So glad you found the station. I am most impressed by this town, dinge lyk agtermekaar hier! As per usual, I totally love seeing all the old buildings. Love the cat on the bowling green. I remember Kirkwood being full of huge beautiful old trees. And this shows up so well on the drone footage. Wow!!! That bull is ....a lot of BULL! I am most impressed. Thanks for filling in the history.

An amazing part of South Africa. We did from Cape Town to Port Elizbeth via Outshorn , knysna, & George 27 yrs ago .

Pragtige wereld dankie 😅

If I lived in Kirkwood I would drink Orange juice 3 times a day. Up here in Gauteng they charge a mint in the food stores.

There's water in the swimming🙃 pool!

Awesome video of the area I've also watched a few others like jansenville one how does your kwid hold hold up to the gravel roads etc normally it seems people insist you need a huge 4x4 at a minimum to travel around south Africa a video outlining your vehicle choice would be awesome ❤definitely a new fan and already subscribed

Was in Maart 2023 daar by famielie. Bly om te sien die opgradering van die paaie vorder so goed. Daar is nog soveel meer om te sien soos die kamp plek - Sitrusoewer, die pad na Kabouga Hek en nog vele meer net buite die dorp op pad ADDO toe

ECDC + Early Child Development Centre

i live in kirkwood ask me something and i can tell you somesthing new

Hoe kom sien ons nooit jou vrou? Ons hoor haar net.
