    HI. I come from Limpopo and its one of most safe province in south africa. you had nothing to worry about. its amazing, the community is totally friendly and accommodating. its one place that you can survive stranded without money. Thank you for visiting Limpopo.

      Hey Mulaudzi 😄 thank you so much for your comment! After having spent a few days there, we agree with you 100%! Its a great province that we would absolutely love the chance to go and visit again 😁 actually, we are going there tomorrow but hush hush, we can't tell you too much just yet 😆

    South African truckers will tell you that hooting inside the tunnel is important to scare the ghosts away. There are some people who lost their lives inside these tunnels during an accident an their spirits were never "fetched". So now the belief is they are loittering inside the tunnel and to avoid them causing trouble hoot so they move out of the way.

    From South Africa been roadside stealth camping for some 40 odd years.
    I do not boondocks camp in towns that is damn dangerous, if no other choice i use truck stops / ask at the local hotel who can help, everyone knows the danger and are very helpful.
    Even small town caravan parks are a target for mostly tik-heads
    I usually cook / eat / shower in the town - garage fore-courts are a good option then move out just at dusk to a pre scouted spot about 20 km away.
    Cell phone tower access roads / features fence access roads / elevated roadside embankment are choice sites, stealth up dive in and I'm done, and leave at pre-dawn.
    A small, wide-awake mutt will advise you of those who want to relive you of your possessions / life, so make sure you are well stocked with self defence multipliers all over your rig.
    But the key is nobody knows you are there -so you are 100 % safe

    As a South African, South Africa is definitely not as unsafe as it's made out to be. For this it's like anywhere else in the world: wrong place, wrong time and anything is possible. Main thing is to be streetwise and the best is too always stay in a camping ground. Though it might look tempting as elsewhere in the world, but the wild thing is just not worth the risk.

    • @SarahandMarek
      @SarahandMarek  2 года назад

      Very true 🙌🏼 the only reason we wild camped in this case was because we didn't have another option and literally could not find camping places nearby. I think we just ran out of luck because some sites were closed to visitors 😅

      @@SarahandMarek yes I do. If I am not mistaken, I think you guys were parked next to me in Sedgefield in the PnP parking lot. Unfortunately on that particular day I was quite frustrated and I may have not been the friendliest of people around....seriously, if that was you, I truly am sorry for looking quite irritated. I drive a very old golf that I had turned into a part time camper to see if I would manage the nomadic life. If you guys ever come back through the garden route please let me know before hand. I would love to buy you a cup of coffee.

    Wild camping is cool but a big white van in South African woods must be as stealthy as a T-Rex in London city:) Nice try thought. South Africa looks Amazing:)
