- The funny thing about this part of our journey was the fact that we had to travel on tar to get to Vosburg and then travelled on gravel roads in the town which was fantastic! This small town is located in the upper part of the Karoo which is in the Northern Cape. The townspeople are so proud of their village and it shows in how neat and tidy it is. It was awesome just driving around and talking to them, even the gentleman who filled our vehicle with fuel was so helpful and friendly. We checked into our accommodation at Morester Self-Catering Guest House and were greeted by a wonderful, friendly host. The house was absolutely awesome and we felt right at home! We were so hungry after driving around and waiting for loadshedding to pass so that Die Ketel could give us food and what great food it was! #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #vosburg #upperkaroo #northerncape #dieketel

I have been to Vosburg about 6 years ago. Lovely quaint little town, with lovely friendly people. Seems like nothing has changed. Thanks for bringing back memories.
You're so right! A wonderful town with great people, it was a pleasure to visit. They take such great pride in their town. 🤩 Glad you enjoyed the stroll down memory lane.
I live there with my dad lovely place the coffe shop next to them is my grandma's place
The Dutch reformed church buildings in all the little towns are simply amazing
We couldn't agree more! And the one wants to be more stunning than the other. ⛪😊
I am glad to see the Municipal Offices are still in good nick. I use to audit them in the seventies...nice little town.
Wow, interesting! So you must know the town quite well. I imagine it hasn't changed much the past few years. Thank you so much for watching! 👌🏻
@@DustBugsTravel Remembering the seventies...ja its a long time ago...but I remember all the good things
Clean town….. I like 👍
We love your videos! My husband and I live in the UK, Im South African and he is from the UK. I finally convinced him to do a Karoo Roadtrip with me and he discovered your channel after researching a few of the places I told him we’ll visit. We have so much fun watching the videos and we are looking forward to tread in your footsteps in December. Safe travels!
Thank you so much! 🤩 You guys have so much to look forward to and you're going to have the time of your lives. Do warn him though that he may just fall head-over-heels in love with the Karoo! 😉😍
@@DustBugsTravel swing by Loxton early December or from Feb to April/May and come for lunch - we have a place there and I would love to make you my famous toasted cheese and ham sandwiches 🤣
The church is so beautiful 👌👌👌👌
Ek is so bly julle wys die Kerke dis altyd inresant en die skoole en koshuise dis so pragtig dankie dankie geniet dit ek sal dit nooit kan geniet nie maar saam met julle kan ek dit geniet dankie
Lovely video - I am planning to escape from Jozi to get a mind makeover
If i'd seen this before I would have retired there instead of Villiers. A fab place.
The walls of that house that you are staying at so think typical Karoo
To your left was the hostel for the farm and others. It was a boarding school. Was there for 3 yrs. The school and behind it was the sports field and netball court.
Three years is quite a long time, so you must've gotten to know the area very well. As we were driving through the streets, we were wondering how much it has changed over the years. 😊 Thank you so much for watching.
You are welcome. Thanks for sharing this video 👍🥂
What a lovely small town loved it. Thank you. The garden is so beautiful.
We were looking forward to our visit to Vosburg and was not disappointed. It was worth every moment we spent there and our accommodation was fantastic. The garden was particularly pretty. 💚
Thanks lovely seeing that part of the world, wonderfull background noises of birds and fowls.
Blessings Lance
It is truly a stunning town and we found it so authentically Karoo, we enjoyed every moment of our time there and hope to be back one day. 😍 We appreciate you watching and are happy to hear that you enjoyed the video, thank you.
Front door opening direct onto the road, a common feature in the UK…..crazy!!!!!
Haai! Ek is ook n Steenbokkie! 28 December. Lousy time to have a birthday. So glad to find kindred spirits who also love the atmosphere and history of small Karoo towns.
This Steenbokkie is on 4 January and agrees with you fully that's it's a lousy time of year. Everyone is still celebrating Christmas and New Year and fed-up because they have to return to work and couldn't give two hoots about celebrating a birthday. 🙃 We live many hours away from the Karoo, but it calls us back time-after-time. And we're always happy to answer that call! 😍
@@DustBugsTravel exactly! Never had a party.
Today I for the first time watched one of your videos and decided to see if you have been to Vosburg. And low and behold you were there in Aug. You stayed in the B+B were my sister and brother-in-law has their house on the oppesite corner, right side if you back is to the B+B. The greyish house. Man my heart just about left my body. And if somebody watched this 2 part video and are on their way there, just like to mention that there will be a good, old fashioned bazaar there this weekend. Go and visit a well loved, well looked after Karoo dorp.
Welcome, we're so happy you joined us! 🙋🏼♂️🙋🏻♀️ What a small world it is. We absolutely loved, loved, loved our stay in Vosburg and at our accommodation. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and informative about the area and we found the entire town so charming that we often think back to our time there. Well-loved, well looked-after. You hit the nail on the head. Thank you for the info about the bazaar, wish we could go! 🤩🥳
I really like this town and could easily live there. Thank you BOTH for a wonderful trip.
So as soon as you enter a town I’m looking for a beautiful church😂😂😂
The town is quite clean and does not have heaps of garbage everywhere. Seems like a nice pla ce to visit
Your assessment of the town is spot-on! 👌🏻 It is a fantastic place to visit and the townsfolk take such great pride in their town. It was a memorable experience for us! 🤩
Very Lekker hey. Old toppies used to live in Springfontein .
Thank you! Both very cool places. 😁
From Britstown to Vosburg is the road fully tarred?? Want to plan a roadtrip Britstown, Vosburg, Carnarvon & Loxton .
Yes, tar all the way from Britstown to Vosburg. 🚙🛣️
Round trip from Graaff Reinet to Victoria West, Britstown, Vosburg, Carnarvon, Loxton, VW and home to GRT
At 14.15 i whent to that school and the church NG Kerk.
How amazing! We're surprised at how many people have a connection with Vosburg that stretches way back. It's a lovely town as I'm sure it was back then. Hopefully our video brought back happy memories for you. 👌🏻
Ooo yes, absolutely i even dated a local girl from the town.
where is Vosburg situated? love these small little towns that you visit.
Vosburg is in the Northern Cape and located between Britstown and Carnarvon. Really a very cute little village. 😍
What about my idea about the thermos flask and thermal mugs being filled with coffee? When are you going to fuel Curtis?
The only place we'll ever travel to with a flask, is to Kruger where it is exclusively reserved for Milo. 😁 We're happy to order takeaway cappuccino or hot chocolate whenever we feel like it. I'm not sure what fuel you're referring to, but I fuel myself at least three times a day, just not always on camera.
White house!!!!! Most houses have verandas!!!
Ek het n huisie gekoop in vosburg ...vir R142 ...dit was in huisgenoot jare terug in die vroe 1980
Eks Mal oor julle toere...mooi Bly en ry...wees altyd veilig.god seën
4:50 if you look to the right you can see my grandma's house
You should eat more vegetables
Vosburg and Gauteng are on different planets.
We agree, it sure felt like it when we were there! It's a fantastic place! 😎👌
Hoe do you pronounce Vosberg in English?.......you sound like a Boerseun.....mooi video
I'm an Englishman who grew up in the Free State, therefore the strong accent. 😁 Vosburg is a fantastic town and I pronounce it exactly as I spell it, with a rolling 'r' just like Sonia would. Glad you're catching up on old videos. 👌🏻🚙
Thank you for this tour Walter White
Anytime, we're glad you enjoyed it! 😊
