We first visited the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in 2005 with an old school friend of mine. The kids were young, we had a guest with us and we were not seasoned travelers so were unprepared for the arid nature and long distances of the park.
We tried again in 2019 and somehow it all clicked into place. We were more patient, stayed longer at the waterholes, defined the concept of "Travel Days" and discovered the allure of the Wilderness Camps.
We took the first opportunity to return in February 2022 and made a concerted effort to document the trip. Alison used her iPhone with DJI MIMO Gimble extensively while I focused on video footage with my camera and used the GoPro to document the driving and for timelapse work.
We decided to break the journey down into short relaxing legs and make that as much a part of the holiday as the destination. It turned out to be a classic South African road trip.
I have taken a stab at putting a series of videos together to showcase what a wonderul country SouthAfrica is for a local holiday. It was orginally intended for our own enjoyment in our old age so may be a bit long for a wider audience.
Day 1: Cape Town to Namaqua National Park
The video is mainly Gopro footage of the road trip but there is some beautiful video and timelapse coverage of the Namaqua National Park that is worth seeing, so please feel free to fast forward :).
