A horrible experience - Solo Africa Overland, Episode 8

My journey takes me through Namaqualand, a beautiful region located in the Northern Cape province. I'm enjoying every minute of it, but when you least expect it, misfortune strikes mercilessly and turns your life upside down in a minute.

I watched your Kgalagadi video and then stumbled across this one. It is very moving. Thank you.

Yes, it was a bad moment for me, but I wanted to show what Overlanding is, in a real way. Not only sharing the beautiful landscapes, awesome people and the great experiences that come along when you are driving in Africa, but also the bad times, such as this. Thank you very much for watching and for your support. It means the World to me.

Oh dear, how awful. Africa is a tough place, I've seen some tragic accidents too. You do what you can do - and you did your best. That is all you can do. Tough that you cannot talk this through with someone. Interesting the law says you must call an ambulance and cannot remove someone from the scene. Good job you had your videos...

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, it is a tough place, especially when you see people driving by and not stopping to help. But after knowing about that ridiculous law, who can blame them?

God bless you for been a good samaritan, may you find peace and healing,

[@viajesjaipurofficial]

Thank you. It means the world to me.

It was a hard and difficult situation. You certainly did what you had to do. That must make you feel good. And in fact, laws are often stupid.
Even though it was a horrible day, you acted in the right way.
All my respect for you.

Thank you very much for your kind word, Daniel. When you know you have done the right thing it is easier to leave the bad times behind.
