Alone in the Wild Drakensberg 🇿🇦 vA28-S2
I ride from Barkly East to a very remote farm, on my way to Lesotho, through one of most remote parts of South Africa, in Drakensberg (Eastern Cape).
Another glorious day in the mountains, on the wonderful South African gravel roads.
I arrive in a very odd king of mountain shelter, where no one is here to welcome me, yet a big house is ready for me. I look around and I find some relaxed workers living in a strange empty paradise.

Beautiful accommodation. What a place.
I like your videos but please don't say OMG
Merry Christmas Yves. Save journey ahead. 🎉
Yves a blessed Christmas to you may you have the peace and love of Jesus remember Jesus loves you pray that God will keep you safe on your way❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Whow! Every farm produces food or meat or milk to contribute in feeding the South African nation. Every farm that disappears is one farm less out of the productive cycle, while the population explodes! The outcome will be catastrophic! Look at Zim …….
A week or so ago I saw you on Snow and Curt’s channel in Mozambique already! Enjoy your xmas in Africa somewhere! 🎅🏻
Your reply will make me a happiest man in this world….. what i like about you is that you are showing the whole world what is like being like to travel the world… I'm a south african anyway you by showing me my whole country is out of this world and I'm glad you got a positive experience.. i LOVE YOU KINO YVES ….. in this country GOD is watching you and we will also do that as umphakahi "community"
But mostly is that just must get to know south africa better, though I'm a south african but I don't know the whole south africa.. I'm feel emotional as I'm typing
Thank you for sharing your experiences. At 83 l am seeing my country through your eyes thank you young man have a blessed Christmas and safe travels. Be blessed.
It's the clever cows that look up and turn their heads and think WTF
In Lesotho you will come across the famous "Basotho ponies", a horse breed that developed over many years, hardened and accustomed to the high mountains and snow in Lesotho. From them and cross breeding with Arabian horses comes the well-known "Nooitgedacht" horses, very popular, hardened, good temperament horses.
😂
So you going leave South Africa finally? lol
Hello my friends !!! 😁
Wish you could have make it to Rhodes Village, Yves. You were so close! My most favorite, most remote and most beautiful little town in the whole of South Africa!! Anyway, the same area you travelled is now só green, it almost hurt your eyes! 👀
I'm wondering if Blue cheese and Biltong would go well together? 🤔🤔I'm South African and I think that may just be a good hit 😍
Mr Rhodes rode the roads to Rhodes 😀
South Africa is awesome!
You need wind screen for your camera, this will dramatically improve your audio quality. please upvote/like this comment so Yves could see this ! Even self made windscreen will do.
You must see the Drakensberg in summer and the rainy months – green and stunning – but you have to go to the highest areas- spectacular.
South African air is so clean.
Amazing country Yves hope you enjoyed it stay safe journey. Watching from Rep of Ireland 🇮🇪
Merry Christmas, my favorite highlight is seeing what you have at meal stops and how you savor the sustenance
I thought south Africa is very green but what am seeing is different 😅😊
Lots of rock art up in the area. Would have been good to get in contact with someone to show you around. But maybe next time😉
I've been a traveller of no fixed abode, since 2010 and tinned fish has been one of my staples too. Not sure what I would have eaten otherwise 😊
My Isted family are farmers in the Wartrail to Lady Grey area. The sons continue farming over the ages. My grandfather moved to Rhodes after retirement from permanent force in Cape Town in the early 1950's. He sold his house in 1969 for a pittance. It's a pity Kino did not go through Rhodes to Tiffendale and down to Wartrail, but that would have been very difficult in his tricycle. He missed the best scenery.
Almost a year that we are in South Africa. I was wondering if you were going to settle there permanently or if you were actually going to leave one day. Joking aside, I love this country (I go there four times a year for work), but I'm really looking forward to seeing other places; Mozambique, for example, a country I've never been to. I'm sure you'll be very nostalgic when you leave South Africa (Lesotho is a bad example because you'll be back in South Africa very soon), but it will be the start of new adventures: new landscapes, new stories, and unforgettable encounters. Bon voyage l'ami.
Was ur motor fixed?
That cheese is hitting the right spot l.can see 😅
Love ur journey. Have you ever thought of cruising on the pan america from Prudhoe bay Alaska to Argentina?
Your dietary habits scare the hell out of me😂
Desember is summer in SAfrica.
South Africa seems safe if you avoid the cities
Reminds me of Wyoming and Idaho in the US.
Yves, I would love it if you would do one episode all in French (with English subtitles)!
Is it that south Africa is big or you really liked south Africa??😂😂..yoh yoh yoh yoh yoh
Happy Christmas Yves.
Bro you need to check out Zanzibar for Durian, and next time you're in La Reunion I know one Indian guy there growing DURIAN on the island. This started back in 2015. You need to ask around because I bet you can actually get Durian there now. And I heard the same for Zanzibar and some other East Africa countries.
Bro big up you ate that Durian like a pro.
Actually the end of January is Durian season in Zanzibar. Who knows you can still get there in time😂
