Thank you!

South Africa is spectacularly beautiful. I'm privileged to have had the opportunity to explore some extreme landscapes, from Karoo's martian terrain to the lush green coast line of western cape to the dunes of Kgalagadi. Surrounded by 2 oceans and inhabited by diverse group of people, flora and fauna, I'm in love with South Africa and African continent as a whole.

Couldn't agree more, I've yet to find a place that comes close to it :) such a privilege to be here

Beautifully produced record of an ambitious trip! wonderful to watch. It triggered memories of decades ago… Grays and Van Heynegan’s pass, Injasuthi cave, Cathedral peak, Centenary hut… just not all on the same trip! Well done.

I hope you get the chance! April is a great time to go :) you'll see a lot of these spots even just hiking to Mafadi, it's great how close it all is on the escarpment

Amazing capturing of some of the incredible moments along this hike, thanks for creating this time capsule Dan!

This is actually incredible. The video really lived up to and exceeded all expectations. I really love the editing 😍 My favourite scenes must be from 14:21 to 15:46. Really captures the serenity of the Drakensberg.

Thanks 😂 yes indeed!

Amazing as always! I have so many questions: How did you know where you were going? Internal GPS?🙈How did you keep your camera charged to make such incredible shots and time lapses throughout the adventure? How are you all so fit and resilient?😂 How is the world so beautiful?!?!? Where do I sign up? All jokes aside, it looked like an absolutely incredible experience. Excited for what's next Dan!

Ah thanks Denis! I appreciate the love on these, very kind of you to say 😊. For the directions, a mixture of map reading and good old Gaia GPS on our phones :). Still, we took a fairly major bad route at least twice and had to course correct 🤷‍♂️. For the charge, I have a couple of spare GoPro batteries, but also a fairly massive portable charger, so I'd leave devices charging overnight for the next day :). For fitness, we definitely suffered up some of those hills 🤣 and the freezing storm tested our resilience, but I think we were also lucky to have a really great group of people, and a very clear common goal in mind ⛰️. As for the world, I couldn't tell you 🤷‍♂️ but definitely going to try to appreciate as much of that as I can 😁. And it would be epic to do an adventure together sometime! Plenty of mountains still to be climbed for the next time we're in the same part of the world 💪

Thank you for such an amazing video.Did u have a guide with you or u were using the GPS/map?

@daniel_johnson_pmbpk

Thank you! No guide, we indeed used a phone GPS and a couple of physical maps

Great video! Is it possible to do sterkhorn peak summit and back in one day, starting from monks cowl via sphinks breakfast stream? I remember a sign at the t junction after breakfast stream, warning of weather change and to only proceed if you signed the overnight register.

Thank you! I'm afraid I've never done Sterkhorn, though I'm pretty sure what you describe is a tough but doable day, from what I've heard. Afraid I can't answer with any certainty though, and, as with any hike like that, I'd be prepared for things to go wrong just in case you do have to spend the night

@@daniel_johnson_pmbpk thanks, yeah makes sense 👍

My first hike was at Tugela Falls via the chain ladders. We were unprepared and thought it's easy. 4 guys, 1 500ml water, Romany Creams and Lays was all we had for the day. It was a crazy experience. I came across your videos while trying to show people where we went. I've been a fan of your channel ever since. Thank you for going through the extremes to show us how beautiful our country is. You do things some of us won't even dare to dream of. God bless you bro. 🙏🏽

Those kind of trips end up being the best memories 😂 glad you guys made it down alright, and that's the first of many! I really appreciate the love, thank you 🙏 it's cool to try to make people aware of the things that are out there, or to try to share some of these special experiences with the world. There've been some suuper spicy ones recently, so stay tuned I guess 👀

I quite like Gaia GPS, which I have installed on my phone, but try to rely as much as I can on physical maps as well, which can't run out of battery etc. We also study the route in a fair bit of detail beforehand, so we know what to expect
