Arriving for our last day of camping at Kagga Kamma, we got a chance to get some camp chores done at the stunning wild camp Bobbejaankrans. Our Overlanding adventure continues as we take the gravel road down into the Tankwa Basin, where we go offroad from the R533 into the Tankwa Karoo National Park; en route to our first night of camping at Steenkampshoek. After an incredibly beautiful camping experience we get in the hilux, engage 4x4 and make our way up to the top of the Gannaga Pass! A spectacular view! We arrive at our next campsite Perdekloof where I decide to bake some breads and good them over the fire! A truly awesome day exploring the Tankwa

@@RoamOverlanding Ya know, coming from the USA, it's easy to forget that you and Andy are at the beginning of your winter while we're in our summer here. We're actually in a cool spell the last few days with highs around 27C and up to 32-33C in a few days and lows at night around 15C, but here in Illinois you have to remember it's very humid at around 70% humidity. In Albuquerque, New Mexico it can be 97F and feel cooler than it is in Illinois when it is 84F because of the humidity.

Nice set up.Just a question about your roof tent being just two male individuals on that trip why is Andy erecting a ground tent is the roof tent small to accommodate you guys both ?

@RoamOverlanding 2 жыл бұрын

It’s better for a long trip like this where we have been on the road for 30days. Plus Andy is a hiker so that tent is his second home anyways. It’s much nice after a long day of being in the car together the whole day and working on the filming to have our own space to retire to at the end of the night. I’ve shared the tent before with my dad on the trip to Namibia and it’s absolutely fine 👍🏻

Great footage of a beautiful part of SA. Done most of that region on adventure bike but would love to come down with my 4x4 (from Gauteng). Question: Have you also had hassles with your batwing awning collecting rain puddles requiring frequent drainage to reduce strain on stitching & joints? I see other makes that have a short vertical stub to tighten the awning and increase the runoff gradient. Surely Eezy Awn must be aware of this issue.

@RoamOverlanding 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Sean! It is a lovely part of the world indeed! With regards to the awning, yes mine does that but if you lower one of the legs and create a bit of a gradient for the water to flow down that can also really help. I find the let directly opposite the hinge works well to shorted, but you will need to peg it down so that it has something to pull against. I hope this helps!

@seanfrench1029 2 жыл бұрын

@@RoamOverlanding Good idea. If night time rainfall seems imminent, we do shorten some/all legs to allow better gradient which works great if no wind accompanies rain. However, if its a windy squall, the sloped awning is fair game for strong winds compared to when deployed flat. All trade-offs of camping I suppose to keep it interesting.

@livingworkingoutsidebox 2 жыл бұрын

Please forgive my ignorance. Are there any predators one should worry about? What would be the normal precautions? Here in the USA when one goes to the national parks there are precautions against bears. As one goes deeper into the park then wolves come into play but fires keep them at bay. Just curious. Since we don't live there images of lions, jaguars, hyenas, etc rolling by and saying. "Hey now there's a quick easy meal. "

@RoamOverlanding 2 жыл бұрын

hahaha dont worry about it! A good question! There arent many national parks in South Africa where you can actually be in unfenced camps. In this case the reason the camps are unfenced is because there are no dangerous predators around.

@livingworkingoutsidebox 2 жыл бұрын

@@RoamOverlanding Good to know thanks. Saw a video from Laura and Nicolas how they stayed at a ultra luxury "tent" in Kruger National Park with a fence but she casually said Hyenas can get through so they just don't walk out of the tent at night. 😳 Granted the Tents were really luxury homes made to look like Tents and $4,000-$6,000 a night. I just imagine their welcome sign, Come stay with us in the think of the jungle, where no one has been eaten in 240 days and counting... next day 01 . Thanks again great content. 👍 by the way.
