S1 – Ep 220 – Philippolis – A Little Town Situated in the Middle of South Africa!
The gravel road I had planned to take from Vanderkloof Dam to Philippolis was closed to the public so we had to take a detour of almost 200km to reach our destination, which meant we would only arrive in the dark. This actually gave us the opportunity to see this little town in a different light to how we normally see the places we visit. Since we arrived too late to explore, we booked into our accommodation at the Philippolis Hotel for the night, enjoyed pizza for supper and woke up ready for a day to explore. Situated in the middle of South Africa, this amazing town has a rich history and so many places of interest. We made it our mission to try and find as many as possible! #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #philippolis #freestate #orangeriver #northerncape

Lady Grey South Africa A Little Village a Gem undiscovered
A Gem hidden between the Mountains in the Eastern Cape
With “God’s thumbprint on the mountain” you could only expect Lady Grey to be peaceful, spiritual and magical...
Beautifully set in a valley with a backdrop of mountains, many trees, a number of interesting old houses and more gravel than tarred roads, Lady Grey is the most scenic of all the villages in the area. It has a very interesting history and inscriptions on old headstones in the Cemetery confirms it.

S1 – Ep 184 – Steynsburg – Surrounded by Mountains and Hills in the Eastern Cape’s Karoo!
The hills and mountains as you approach Steynsburg are amazing. When we entered we could see that it was surrounded by them. This small town is located in the Eastern Cape’s Karoo and we love the Karoo. After filling up with fuel, we made sure to find the train station. The station building must have been a grand old building in its day but it is not in use anymore and is not in good shape. We then took a drive to the Town Hall and found it also not to be functioning anymore. The churches seemed to be in good condition except for one which looked totally abandoned. The caravan park was another spot we were very keen on visiting but it too was sadly not open for business anymore. I was happy to see that the local authority is working on the roads and improving them. Despite the town in some need of serious attention and upliftment, it was a very interesting visit to Steynsburg. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #steynsburg #easterncape #karoo #mountains

S1 – Ep 95 – The beautiful Gravel Road through the Great Karoo!
Turning off the road from Williston to Middelpos was exciting. This area had so much rain over the past few months and we never knew what the condition of these gravel roads were like, but we took the chance and what a successful trip we had. Coming over the hill and seeing the beautiful vast expanse of the Great Karoo appear in front of us was stunning, not to mention the dams of water everywhere. The Karoo is a dry area and to see so much water is amazing. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #middelpos #karoo

Langebaan to Nieuwoudtville
Welcome to the 6th episode of our 2018 South Africa Adventure with Rockjumper Birding. In this video we travel from Langebaan through some stunning country to the Gateway to Namaqualand - Nieuwouldtville.
S1 – Ep 211 – Reddersburg – A Small Free State Town with Magnificent Churches!
After leaving Dewetsdorp we turned off to see if we could visit the Jimmie Roos School but special permission is required, so we were not allowed access. Then we took off and found a gravel road which took us on a beautiful drive to Reddersburg. On this road we got to see some amazing birdlife, an absolutely beautiful cow which had a serious attitude and some stunning scenery. We could not believe our eyes when we saw the magnificent churches in this small Free State town. Driving through the streets we could also see a proud community working together. The Sarie Marais Hotel is under new management and they were finishing off the renovations when we visited and were open for business. Then we stopped off at the N6 Farm Stall, where they explained to us how they were helping the local community by selling their products. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #reddersburg #freestate #jimmieroos #travelongravel

S1 – Ep 273 – Groblershoop – This Village is the Gateway to the Green Kalahari!
Our next stop was Groblershoop which is a small village situated about 2km west of the Orange River on the N10 and known as the gateway to the Green Kalahari. We’ve never heard of Groblershoop before and we were very surprised to learn that that the Orange River Wine Cellars is the largest co-operative cellars in Africa and the second largest in the world. It was very interesting to see how the irrigation canals worked and supplied the farmers with water. We enjoyed our visit to Groblershoop. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #northerncape #groblershoop #putsonderwater

S1 – Ep 206 – Rouxville – The Town that was a Halfway Stopover for Mail!
What an unexpected gravel road we discovered with so much beauty along it while travelling to Rouxville. Birds, Nile monitor, antelope and of course the amazing scenery. Then we arrived in the little town of Rouxville. It was interesting to learn that the town was started as a halfway stopover for mail delivery in 1863. The distance between Smithfield and Aliwal North was too far for a horse and wagon to travel in just one day. Driving through the streets of this little town was great fun. A lot of the old buildings were still in fairly good shape, but what was surprising to see was how many new houses were being built. That was truly encouraging and made us happy to think that the townsfolk were busying themselves with upliftment. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #rouxville #freestate #mail

S1 – Ep 155 – Vosburg – We Found the Fun Pan where they Race!
After our amazing lunch at Die Ketel, we decided to go and find the Fun Pan which is about 10km outside of Vosburg. We were shocked and surprised to see how big it was! This is the place where the locals from the whole district come to race with their cars once a year. We heard about the Fun Pan in Victoria West and were hoping to find it. The next morning before leaving the area I was given a tour of the museum by our host. It's a small, but really interesting place to visit. I loved the old glass hearse which is so unique and still in such good shape. On our way out of town we stopped to see the Vosburg Dam and the water points where the town gets their water from. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #vosburg #funpan #dieketel
