The purpose was to map out the shape of the country visiting as many towns and communities as possible along the way and in doing so, identify conservation and community projects supporting those communities.
The mammoth road trip was made possible thanks to 176 accommodation establishments that opened their doors along the route.

S1 – Ep 400 – Vredenburg – Ancient Jaw Bones with Intact Teeth!
Our trip to Vredenburg was a fantastic adventure. The drive there was filled with excitement as we first passed by the intriguing Langebaanweg Air Force Base, which, though inaccessible, offered a glimpse into its significance. Our next stop at the West Coast Fossil Park proved to be a captivating experience. Observing the ancient jaw bones with intact teeth of extinct animals was truly thrilling, making it hard to tear ourselves away. As we reached Vredenburg, we were welcomed by its charming atmosphere. We even think we found what we believe to be the original water source for the town dating back to 1875. All-in-all, our visit to Vredenburg left us with unforgettable memories and a sense of appreciation for this industrial hub. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #westerncape #vredenburg #westcoastfossilpark

S1 - Ep 50 – From Evita se Perron to the white beaches of Yzerfontein!
After leaving the Darling church, we had to stop off at Evita se Perron. Sonia found two cats on the stoep she had to cuddle while I went through Evita’s Museum. What an interesting place! Lunch was great and then it was off to the white beaches of Yzerfontein. It was raining all the way to Yzerfontein, but someone waved a wand and the blue skies appeared only over Yzerfontein. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #eviteseperon #yzerfontein

S1 – Ep 255 – Wine Route – Estates Between Somerset West and Stellenbosch!
We live on the doorstep of one of the most renowned Wine Routes in the world, but because we're not big wine consumers, we hardly ever get to visit them. They are all incredibly beautiful though and, in this episode, we decided to visit a few Wine Estates close to home, between Somerset West and Stellenbosch. All five of them were absolutely stunning with gorgeous locations and settings. We hope you enjoy our short tour of this Wine Route. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #capetown #westerncape #wineroute #tablemountain #somersetwest #stellenbosch

A Small Town in South Africa: Vanrhynsdorp, Western Cape Province
The small town of Van Rhynsdorp lies about 300 km of Cape Town in South Africa's Western Cape Province. It is on the southern fringe of the arid area that stretches north to Namibia. I visited the town on a quiet weekday morning in June 2016.
I filmed this video with a Sony camera and a DJI Phantom 4 drone.

A SOUTH AFRICAN adventure - Tourist Guide to Lambert's Bay / Lambertsbaai West Coast
In this video, I explore the sights and delights of Lambert's Bay (Afrikaans: Lambertsbaai), a small South African fishing town situated 280km north of Cape Town. It is part of the beautiful West Coast and also nicknamed the 'Diamond of the West Coast'.
I grew up in Lambert's Bay for a period and therefore have a soft spot for the town. Even though this video is not sponsored and I did not get ask to put in a good word for the town, I am unashamedly trying to promote tourism in the region as the town and the wider area could do with a further economic injection.
We start our journey by meeting a local artist known for creating model boats and photo frames. Following this visit, we also explore the beaches of the town including:
(i) Malkopbaai area, which is renowned for its beautiful beach trails (note - I previously posted a separate silent walking tour vlog of Malkopbaai so make sure you watch this one too!), and
(ii) Lambert's Bay main beach, which is characterised by long stretches of white sand and perfect for long, peaceful walks.
For a further cultural injection, I also visit several shops and markets as well as the local museum - the Sandveld Musuem - where we will learn about the history of Lambert's Bay, explore various elements of Afrikaner life and last but not least, the unique history of the HMS Sybille and its connections with Lambert's Bay.
I also speak to several local Lambert's Bay natives and characters along the way, all with their own perspectives on life.
I hope you enjoy this beautiful town and that it will broaden your perspectives about South Africa and what the Rainbow Nation has to offer outside the usual tourist trail. Please hit that SUBSCRIBE button!
