- Our time in the northern parts of Namibia came to an end and we started our journey back home but not without visiting the Richtersveld. De Hoop campsite, situated on the banks of the Orange river, is a family favourite and a place that we’ll always visit on a trip to Namibia.
We will be doing a review from specific parts of our trip as requested by various members of forum discussions. Once lockdown is over in South Africa, we’ll get together and discuss the preparation and execution of the Ugab River Trail, Van Zyl’s Pass, and Jouberts Pass Trail.

Thank you so much for sharing your special moments.
I live a million miles away, but through your eyes, I am able to be present, to see for myself.
God bless you,

Thanks for your message Dave. Appreciate
Yet another fab video, thanks a mill. What stunning scenery, a must do tip.The series of videos has really got me longing for a trip to Nam. Thank you indeed for all the work behind the scene to make this available to the public to tour with you guys in a way. Also to take the time to film whilst on holiday.
Thanks. Yes, we're also longing for another trip to Nam or Bots. Special places.
Love die videos. Meer inligting/ running commentary sal waardeer word. Jul ken die wereld, so deel inligting met mense wat nog nooit daar was nie en meer inligting benodig. Awesome content. Keep it up guys.
Thanks Riaan. Yes, we will definitely share more info and give commentary in the upcoming trips. This was a first to see if people would be interested.
@@SimpleLifeOverland Cool, looking forward to the next video. What fuel consumption can I expect on a Land Cruiser 4.5 EFi petrol on such a trip towing off road trailer??
Thanks for some great footage, hope to get back there sometime. The Richtersveld is an awesome place. Check out Fred Cornells's book "The Glamour of Prospecting". Apparently he got run over by a London bus. Who would have thought?
Thanks. Yes I agree, such an awesome place. Will check out the book.
Awesome series!! Please do something like this again, I loved every minute of it. The Richtersveld is one of the first places on the list for me and my new to me Jimny, but I really want to do Namibia in the not to far away future as well.
Hey Erick! Yes, we are hoping to do a Botswana trip in 2022. We would have done it 2019 but Covid messed up all of our plans. Let's hope 2022 is better.
Awesome!
Thanks Ashley.
Nice! Thank you.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
I own a Land Cruiser 4500 efi double cab. What fuel consumption can I expect on such a trip while towing? What fuel range do you need between petrol stops? Unleaded petrol readily available??
Hi Riaan. Sorry for the late reply. I think your fuel consumption will vary depending on the routes you choose. Most of our routes are off-road, requiring low-range. If that is your preference too, then budget for 3 to 5 km per litre. In riverbeds, the LC76 was doing 2-3 km/l. Patrol also similar in fuel consumption. Not great but worth every litre. I would say that you need a 1,000km range but that only applies is real remote areas. We only had 1 route up north where we had to fill everything possible. You can get diesel and unleaded petrol in small villages/towns. I can't speak for all villages though. Best advise is to always fill up when you can, even if you don't need to.
