The twin falls of Botsoela are actually two separate streams that feed into the same bowl. The falls are not far from Malealea in Lesotho's south eastern quartile. A 4WD vehicle is required to complete the pass. The northern climb out the valley is quite tricky and requires some offroad experience. (Grade 3) Filmed on the 19th April, 2024.

    One shouldn't worry about the "dangerous" passes. Just drive on the horizontal surfaces. I grew up nearby. Roads are safe; it's users that pose danger sometimes. 😊

    • @TrygveRoberts
      @TrygveRoberts Місяць тому

      That's interesting. We set the voice-over volume loud enough to be clearly heard above the background music. We select background music that is mostly gentle and easy on the ear (of course we can't please everybody all of the time). The corollary of the theory is to have no music at all. Do you think that would be better? It would save me a LOT of man hours.

    I've watched all 3 parts, what an incredible, beautiful journey - thank you for sharing. What I found most amazing is that this road must have been built/developed almost a century, perhaps more, ago, and it still exists and can be used. A remarkable feat of engineering, especially being done so long ago. Imagine the manual effort that must have gone into this, most likely in a time of picks and shovels!

    Brings back memories in what feels like another lifetime on another continent. Was in an army convoy going to Lohatla Battle school, did that twice via this route, spectacular views. When we went through Vanrhynsdorp, which was a very small town in 1983, literally the whole towns population came out to look at this military convoy winding it's way through. I guess they'd never seen equipment like that.

    A 160 degrees curve it's very sharp curve and the signs are there, clearly the Bus driver wasn't familiar of the road and didn't pay attention to the sign and was speeding. Some speculate breaks failure but to travel the distance they were travelling regular maintenance and thorough inspections of braking systems are essential to prevent such incidents.
