I’m Chris; digital creator, video maker, photographer, fan of road trips and remote places. I hope my videos might help those who want to experience adventure travel & off road adventures, and who don’t care as much about how they get there, as they do about the journey itself and the destination. I try to provide useful tips and background information about the places that we visit, as well as endeavouring to draw attention to conservation and sustainability.
KANGELA - widely used in Southern and East Africa meaning: “Look at you with curious eyes!”
I guess you don’t have access to Google Maps. But rest assured, it’s very close to the centre of the country. And, the Northern Cape is most definitely not in the East, the name kind of gives it away a little.
@@Kangela That's right! The west of the country, to the north of the western cape. The country is shaped funny. Not even Bloemfontein is in the middle.
Afrikaner only.. Whites only.. Same thing.... It's sad that people still live like this.. Saying it's to protect your culture sies what lies! When South African people of color go to this town they are treated like animals and are asked to leave! This town shows how some people still have a superiority complex and backward mindset still trying to oppress... FTS
The Africans should have run these people off the continent 😢they hav no right to do this BROTHERS AND SISTERS WE HAV THE NUMBERS WE DO NOT HAV TO TAKE THIS
Blacks must stop racism against all East Asians first, before shouting whites are bad. West Africans, especially from Ghana and Nigeria, always look down on South Koreans, as many locals cannot fluently speak even English, although their each mother tongue is useless in each West African country of theirs. They never try to learn Korean even after a few years of living in Seoul There's also a Nigerian club that no Korean men are allowed. Which ones are true racists in this case? Why must we Koreans speak English in our country? Are these blacks whites, just because they can speak one of European languages?
Thank you for an excellent video. Professionally made and excellent commentary. Thank you also for the inspration and helpful advice. We will plan a visit to Union's End soon.
Thank you for the comment, I'm glad you found the video useful, enjoy your visit. We just returned from the Kgalagadi, although we didn't make it so far north this time, it was a treat as usual. It never fails do deliver.
Way back in 1978 my wife and our two boys of 4 & 5 years of age, explored that tunnel right to it's dead-end. Brave little fellows they were, and keen to explore a side-shaft, but as it was on a sharp upward incline and I deemed it too risky. Very few people seem to have any interest about the mines back then. Also, not a soul around. That large black pipe seen in your coverage, was not existent back then, Probably for additional ventilation for the tourist industry in latter years, It was very musty and the air became very 'stale' towards the end of the shaft.We were also pleased to return to the fresh air outside. Thanks for the video. Brought back happy memories of our visits to Knysna. We also discovered the ruins (rubble) of an old fort on the hill above the town, just somewhere behind and above the hospital. It was called somebody's Folly( not sure of the name), as it was built as a defence for Knysna about the time of the boer war, and was considered ' a waste of public money' at the time.
I think it depends very much on the road conditions and the tide. We had to drive through some water, also quite a bit of sand. So a brave soul in a 4x2 could probably make it😅 but I'd say a 4x4 is better.
Thanks @@Kangela how far is the parking from the beach I want to go fishing and don't want to carry all the stuff Utshwayelo Kosi Mouth Lodge, I cant see from google maps
@@prikkles It's a while since we were there, but if memory serves me correctly, the parking is pretty much on the beach. Having said that, it's a pretty wide beach, so there will be some walking to get to the sea.
I agree with you. I was there over the weekend from the 4th May 2024 to the 6th May 2024. Those informal tour guides are irritating. They are so persistent and makes your visit unpleasant.
thank you so much for that brilliant video. Just worked on my own video visiting it 28 years ago with a little fiat car and tent. Things changed obviously (visitor center etc..) but the magic is still there and you caught it. Best, Chris
great concept n way to elude the forced integration......i dnt agree with the means of how they got to Africa and racist apartheid, but that was their ancestors and they are there by default.......
Hello Christina, the owners asked me not to mention the name of their reserve because we showed footage of rhinos. So respecting their request I wouldn't like to name it. Sorry for that, I hope you understand.
