***Warning: Theft***
***Don't camp at Cape Columbine Nature Reserve***
“Last night we stayed at one of the most beautiful camp sites in Paternoster. But while we were sleeping in the rooftop tent some arseholes broke into the bakkie and cleaned us out.
Literally robbed us blind while we slept above them. 2 macbooks, dji drone, gymbal and mics, flexible solar panel, brand new Gentech inverter, British passport, my whole bag of clothes, Lisa's bag of toiletries, makeup and her suitcase.
We searched the area and recovered our @cadacsa gas geyser.
We spend our money supporting these campspots and supporting local businesses in the area, and yet even though Vredenburg Police Station told us this is a regular occurrence, Cape Columbine Nature Reserve don't warn people of the dangers and don't have adequate security on site.
This is a warning to our fellow travelers. Be aware and know the facts before camping here. Now we're off to buy toothbrushes and a jacket.”

Water is reaching Sossusvlei. 🌊 Warden Erastus confirms the pan is currently unreachable — the river has cut off access and it won't be passable for hours. A rare and extraordinary sight in the Namib. 09.04.2026 #Sossusvlei#Namibia
In 2003, a German film crew followed a nomadic family in Mongolia's Gobi Desert. The film, The Story of the Weeping Camel, was nominated for an Oscar.
A mother camel had rejected her newborn after a brutal two-day labour. Without her milk, the calf would die.
The family knew one option. They sent their two young sons on a journey across the desert to find a musician who could perform a ritual called Hoos, a chanting ceremony passed down for centuries specifically for this moment.
The musician came. The ritual was performed. The mother camel wept real tears and turned to her calf for the first time.
The film crew had gone to document a way of life. They had no idea they would capture that.
UNESCO added the Hoos ritual to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2015, alongside flamenco, the Mediterranean diet, and the art of Neapolitan pizza making.
@RethaSoRare@NeilJansson@VisitConHill We are aware and understand such concerns, we community advice centres around South Africa to cater to those who do not have the ability to commute to our offices. We have also partnered with @Ifeel919 and @GushwellBrooks on the #LegalLifeline to maximise reach through radio
@RethaSoRare@NeilJansson@Probono_Org ConHill does outreaches around the country teaching Constitutional literacy & we are working on finding areas that are less likely to know about us. @Probono_Org has partnered on a few trainings with us for tourism & education for teachers. #hrf2026
@NeilJansson@VisitConHill@Probono_Org How can we get assistance as the people in gaining access to legal aid when we live in the outskirts & can’t make it to your premises. & I am asking for those who don’t even have access to the internet to know about you? #hrf2026
