Richtersveld National Park | Overlanding South Africa In Our Defender Camper

This is it guys, our last video in South Africa.
The last 3 months have been unbelievable. Our experiences will be ones we treasure for the rest of our lives. Our last stop in S.A. was to the Richtersveld National Park, an incredibly beautiful area in north-western South Africa.
It was so awesome to share this experience with Mike and Katie. They have been overlanding across Africa in their Land Rover Defender 110 Camel Trophy edition for the last year!

    Just to set the record straight. There are two passes with the name Helskloof in the Richtersveld. The one is that we saw The Landy Expedition do inside the Richtersveld National Park, then there is another pass to the west with the same name, much easier than it's namesake. There is a third pass, further to the west, known as The Hell, a very rough track down to the Orange River, this is a serious off road track, a vehicle breaker that makes tough men cry, only for the very brave (or the foolish, depending on your view). The Richtersveld is a special place.

    Very nice drone footage, seeing the Veld from another angle... "Helskloofpass" is outside the Richtersveld National Park, in the Community Area on your way North East towards The Grocery and Bushwacked, Vioolsdrift... The one you were thinking of is much further East towards Pella, on the Namakwa 4x4 Eco Trail going down to the Orange Rivier, called "Road to Hell" ... It's a one way, heavy technical, steep down to the River, same way back... Then you get "The Hell", or Gamkaskloof, which you have missed going down the Swartbergpass on the Prince Albert side... You seems a bit rushed, as the Richtersveld has a lot more to offer, and three days minimum would have been nice.. Reading the other comments, you were at Bushwacked with Adam...? Don't know how you have missed Helskloofpass then, unless you went back via Steinkopf, then Port Nolloth into the park... Enjoy Namibia, and take more time, going somewhere a bit slower. If you miss a nice spot, you would not be back soon to explore it again. Make sure you do take the D707, as it is a bit longer to your next destination, and very very scenic... But, by the time you are reading this, you'll be in Swakopmund already... Enjoy enjoy enjoy 🇿🇦 🇳🇦 🇿🇦

    It is understandably confusing but there are many "Hells passes" in South Africa's Northern Cape province. The one you took was the easier of the three. The second most difficult is close by and is in my opinion the most difficult due to flooding - you did not take this one. The most difficult is know as "the road to hell" as opposed to "Hell's pass" . You took the most pedestrian route of the three. A great achievement nevertheless! Congrats

    Our first LR was a 110 County wagon 3.5 litre V8. Remember having trouble with the drop arm coming loose on a couple of occasions. In the end I replaced it. Your friends Camel Trophy 110, is it a genuine one? Loved the Camel Trophy, test of machine and man. Once again enjoying your trip.
