WWe are off to South Africa for an epic road trip and we can’t wait! We are driving from Johannesburg to Cape Town, but we’re going do it the long way round. We’ll go to Durban, along the coast to Port Elizabeth, past the Garden Route and Klein Karoo desert to Cape Town.

There’ll be some awesome food and wine, some crazy extreme bungee stuff, some surfing, and lots and lots of sharks – eek!! And we’re doing it all in a  bakkie, which apparently is what the locals call a pick-up truck.

So, come and meet South Africa with us, and check out our Bakkie Stories

BBe part of the adventure and join us for an unforgettable journey of a lifetime that spans over thousands of kilometers across sunny South Africa. Come and meet South Africa with us as we experience the country’s natural beauty, adrenaline-fuelled activities, vibrant culture and so much more by following our videos, which capture the true essence of this amazing country.
