I've been enjoying your channel for as many months as I've been laid up in bed with no work after an accident. I have to say that it's very surprising to me that no mention was made in this video regarding the reason behind Mandela's imprisonment; terrorism. Mandela and Mugabe were great Allies and friends, and it surprises me that Tara, having been born in Zimbabwe, and likely having had access to the truth regarding Mandela, portrays him as some sort of hero in this video. He was a violent, communist terrorist and this episode is a politicization of your channel. Not cool. Incidentally, I'm a 53 year old South African.
Hi Newbys, what a momentous flight to have been on!! What a memory that will be. You all looked so happy, Crusoe is a star. You are such an inspiration for promoting travel with a young child/family. 💚😃
Hi Emma, how you doing friend? Whoop whoop to every one getting out there and travelling again!!! Crusoe sends lots of hugs! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🐧🇿🇦
You have no idea how inspired I have become to plan to go on a trip back home to see family after being adamant that I could not endure such a long trip anymore - thank you, Newbys!💖💖💖
Hi! I´m watching your video and your arrival being the first after the pandemic got me emotional! I am Portuguese but I was born and raised (till I was 12) in Durban, South Africa, so that also touched my heart. Hugs and kisses to the Newbys
I spent 19 years living at Cape Point, most privileged childhood ever. Just wanted to say it was really nice to see such a well constructed video clip of my home! Thanks and happy travels throughout Africa!
Hi Steve. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 19 years at Cape Point, wow!! What an incredible life you must have had. A truly beautiful part of our wonderful world. Thanks for joining us on this journey. 🙏🐘🦒
Wonderful video, I can’t wait to show my dad. I share my dads passion for travel and when he was younger he took my mum and my brother who was two at the time to live in SA. He holds a deep love for the country and it’s people. He only returned to the Uk as he couldn’t live with the unfair divide that apartheid had at the time. He would love to go back. He’s 87 extremely fit, golfs and walks everyday. Maybe one day soon I can take him 🙏🏼 I love crusoes reaction to the penguins 😍 Can’t wait to see more in this African adventure part x
Hi Sharon, your dad sounds like a real gent, we have our fingers crossed that you can take him back to SA one day. It is a wonderful country. Lots of adventures ahead, we can’t wait. Crusoe sends hugs. We see you next week. Thank you for watching. 🙏❤️🇿🇦
How exciting that he has parents that will show him the world. Such a beautiful gift you’re able to give him! 🥰 South Africa has so far been one of my favour countries I’ve been to!
Thanks so much Haslin, that’s a really kind comment and we’re so grateful. South Africa is so special, as is the rest of Southern Africa and we’re super excited to explore and share it all with you, thanks for being a part of our adventure!
Hi guys. I've just started watching your van life episodes, and OH MY GOD, what an adventure. I'm not going to get bored now waiting for your farm episodes 😃
Hi Denise! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Its been quite a week, we are really enjoying the start to our adventures! See you next Sunday! 🙏❤️🇿🇦🐧
What a welcome to SA. So fascinating to see Robben Island. And as for Crusoe and the penguins!! Your video has set me up for the week! Enjoy every moment of your time out there. A big thankyou.x
Hi Linda, lovely to hear from you friend. Such a kind comment, thank you!! It’s been quite a week for the Newbys and with 4 months of Africa ahead of us, we are excited to see what adventures come our way. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
What a wonderful welcome you received even I teared up! Awesome episode and can’t wait for next week x Crusoe is just adorable and it’s fabulous watching his interactions with the penguins and camera - what a wee superstar 🥰🤩👏🏻
Hi Angie!! Yeah, that welcome was terrific, we get pretty emotional watching it back!! The penguins were a definite highlight and the Baboons, he gets super excited watching animals so we are interested to see what he makes of his first elephant!! Thanks for watching and always being with us, your support is really appreciated. 🙏🙏❤️❤️🐧🐘
This video made me so emotional - the warm African welcome as you arrived was so special. Welcome to the African continent counting the days until we meet our darling grandson who always manages to steal the show. Safe travels until next week.
Aloha Newbys!🌺 I really enjoyed this video! I was surprised to learn that penguins live in South Africa!!! I always thought they lived in colder climates. Crusoe is sure enjoying these excursions and animals. He's growing up so fast! What a wonderful thing that he slept almost the entire time inflight.👏👏👏 The other passengers must have been surprised not to hear a "crying" baby. That's good parenting!!! And a blessing!😇 Looking forward to seeing next week's adventure with Crusoe's experience of seeing real, live African elephants!!! Stay safe and God's Blessings. 🙏🏻💗🙌🌺🌴
Aloha Anna!!! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. The little man is really having so much fun on this trip, we wander how he will get on with elephants in a few weeks from now! He is so easy to travel with, we are indeed blessed. Big adventures ahead Anna, thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐 🐘

Thanks Debra, Crusoe has hardly stopped smiling since we got here, there’s delight around every corner for him. Have a great week and thanks for being a part of our adventures.
WoW! The coast is breathtaking! You two do such an amazing job of filming I wonder sometimes if the Discovery channel is doing ur filming you really do an amazing job of bringing the beauty of Nature to us!🌄💜💕🌄
Hurrah ! The Newby's are back... Missed you and the little man. He's growing so quickly... is he walking yet ? I haven't seen a happier baby. Glad you arrived safely and the weather is a bit better than UK and Europe. Can't wait until next Sunday, see you then.
Hello Cathy! Ahh thanks for missing us, we missed you too! It felt very weird not releasing a video last week. Crusoe is about to crawl, any day now for sure! Africa will be a place of many firsts for us that’s for sure. See you next Sunday, we’ve got so much exciting stuff to share, can’t wait. Thanks so much for being a part of it with us, it means the world to us. Have a great week!

Bela aula, e que lugar lindo!! É emocionante entrar na prisão, não tem como não emocionar . Que criança feliz, quanta lembranças lindas com seus pais!!!!
@@TheNewbys I’ve watched all your videos from the beginning. My husband has young onset dementia so travelling the world is difficult for us We have been to Germany and to America before the illness. Now we travel around the UK as much as we can making our precious minutes count. Justgot home from 2 weeks on Skye and a week in the Lake District. Making precious memories. I love travelling the world with you guys as i love the historic places and facts you always give. (I love history). Looking forward to next week’s video already. Your little boy is so adorable 🥰💙
@@karenviggers7592 you sound like you are making a great plan with the minutes and seconds. Wishing you and your husband lots of memories for a long time to come. Skye is amazing!!! Thank you for journeying with us friend. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Anouk! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. We very much hope to visit Luxor one day soon and would love to pop by for a coffee or beer. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐 🇪🇬
Great 1st video of Africa. I did get emotional when you landed and the warm welcome you received. Absolutely loved those penguins, they are just so cute, looks like Crusoe loved them as well
Thanks Kristina, there really have been so many emotions this week, it’s a big trip for us and it feels so wonderful to be here. Thanks for being a part of it with us, Crusoe hasn’t stopped smiling since we got here! Have a great week.
Wow dear john ,Tara and cruso. I follow you now a couple of weeks. Wy, you live in the north of Portugal 🇵🇹 and we have a home in the algarve. But we where also there❤
Hi Sarah and Lee, It begins!! We are super excited, let’s see where we end up, so far super exciting. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
Love you Guys. Great to have you back. It looks awesome. Always want to go to South Africa to see Great White Sharks around seal island. Fantastic welcome you received and just those little touches can start your adventure. Looking forward to next week.
Hi David, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. you’re right those small touches really make a trip, wonderful experience to be welcomed to SA like that. Shark diving was something we were thinking about, but Crusoe’s a little small just now, we save it for another visit!! Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🐧🇿🇦
Great to hear from you Mike, and yes, it’s wonderful to be in the sunshine after our last few chilly weeks in the UK, we’re soaking up every moment. ☀️ hope all is well your end friend, great to have you here. 😊
We had a bit of a Newbys binge last night. How did you luck out on having a baby that sleeps for 90% of a long haul Flight!!! Amazing. We loved your first look into South Africa. Looking forward to more 🍻
Hey Postcard and a pint!! 🍻great to hear from you!! Happy new year. Thanks for watching our videos last nights. There is some serious adventure through this part of Africa. We have really loved it. We won’t tell you any spoilers just in case you watch through a few more, just to say Crusoe is growning fast, and things don’t always go to plan. ❤️🐘🙏 thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🦒
Cape Town is such a special place isn’t it? Thanks for being here with us, so great to have you along for the ride and to hear from you! Have a great week, Crusoe sends hugs x
@@TheNewbys wow thank you so much! Just watching your travel videos really makes me happy especially watching Cruise’s smile and laughter. Too cute! Thank you again and have a brilliant time in Africa! Xx
I've been following your travels for a little while now, you make it seem so Do-able! Crusoe is adorable, he can't always be that amenable surely? Anyway bon route and on to new adventures!
Hi Claire, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. There are moments that are tricky and of course a day here or two that are hard, but for the most part it’s real easy and a lot of fun!! Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
Great video again guys places looked brilliant can't wait to see what mischievous adventures youse get up to in next couple months .please try not to nick a baboon 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi there south Africans, African.. Hello there from Mini in Cape Town South Africa... I finally got to watch your channel an subscribe like I'm over the moon lol
What a beautiful welcome. I felt emotional. Yay to being able to travel. I am not very world travelled (Finland numerous times because it’s my heritage and all my cousins live there, and we have lived in Japan and Singapore, and revisited both ) but I have, actually been to Cape Town, the Cape of Good Hope and walked the same boardwalk to visit the penguins. The sea there is incredibly blue. So nice to see you again and looking forward to next week.
Hi Tina, exactly, yay to travel, what a reliefs and what great news, we feel really blessed right now! You have been to some of our very favourite countries, Finland and South Africa lucky you! Sounds like we have just followed in your footsteps?!! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐 🇫🇮🇿🇦
Hi guys thanks for sharing your adventures your footage are brilliant. We have always wanted to travel in parts of Africa, especially for the scenery and wildlife. The security and being safe is what has put us off…… perhaps if you share at some point how you have found this for inspiration and reassurance would be great. Happy travels and look forward to your vlog
Hi Angela and Wayne, great to hear from you! Thanks for watching!! We love Africa and know it very well, John has taken many journeys through to continent, from the Congo to Cameroon and Egypt to Ethiopia. Tara of course was born in Zimbabwe. Security is something we always think about, having said that is something that rarely concerns us. Most visits to Africa for most people are trips of a lifetime and almost always end with only great memories. We hope you make it here one day. Keep an eye out for our future vlogs. We will travel all over the place, through at least 5 African countries over the next 4 months, hopefully we can inspire you to head out here!!! Thanks so much friends. 🐘🦒🇿🇦🙏
You don’t think of penguins in Africa or Australia (where I saw small penguins who lived in burrows.) As always, your videos are educational and travelogues and perfect. I hope to see all of them. Bon Voyage!
Ha! Thanks John, you’re of course right and we are wrong! Bit of an error there. Sorry. What a wonderful national park it is though. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🚐
Welcome to our beautiful continent! No better place to start but from the “fairest Cape”! I do need to make a correction; Cape Agulhas, not Cape Point is the most Southern point of the African continent 😉. Safe travels as you start your journey northwards!
Hi Andee. Great to have you along for the adventure. Yes this was the last time we were in this particular van but van life will always be a part of our lives. We are excited for the next chapter to start, whenever that might be! Thanks for watching friend ❤️❤️❤️
The biggest question for me is: How could he even afford „living a live on the road“ or how can you as a family afford months of van life in africa? Now dont get me wrong please its no offend at all. But i would love doing something like this myself and there is simply no way ever to afford traveling like that. Since your not able to earn stable money while on the road i cant think of how this is possible..
Hi TT. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. why would you think people can’t earn stable money while travelling? We are now in the USA still on the road and really enjoying the nomadic life style. Cheers!
Maybe it would be a good topic for a future video to show how you manage to make time for working whilst traveling, and also what you both do for careers to earn enough to sustain it.
@@TheNewbys Thanks for answering my question this quick. Of course there are ways to earn money while on the road. But this is mostly a thing for influencers or IT Specialist. If you are working a „regular“ Job theres just sadly no way doing this.
@@TiilCAEU Good to hear from you. Question, do you use a computer to do your job? A lot of people who are not in IT or influencers do! If you are one of these people, ask your boss if you could work on the road. You never know, your boss might say yes!! Then, off you go on an adventure, film at weekends and evening. Work during the days. 👍👍
@@TheNewbys i dont. I have no Chance in doing something like this. ☹️ Theres no way i could work from somewhere else. Also i dont think any boss would be like „hey of course why not“ because theres always a chance of having no wifi or being not available. At least in germany no boss ever would allow you to do that.
