Driving around South Africa - Swartberg Pass
This time you can see parts of the Swartberg Pass, which connects Prince Albert (Great Karroo, North) and Oudtshoorn (Little Karroo, South), Western Cape, South Africa.
It's approx. 30 km long and on its highest point 1600m high.
The pass was built in the 80ies of the 19th century by Thomas Bain using convict labour.
This clip covers only half the pass but it gives an impression of some nice views and the serpentines, starting on Prince Albert's side in the North.
Here is some more information about the pass and the Swartberg-mountains:

Western Cape - South Africa Travel Channel
Western Cape (Wes-Kaap) is a province of South Africa, which is bordered by both the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.
If you leave Cape Town early in the morning in western direction you will experience the sunrise and the region in its most beautiful colors.
After leaving the Cape Town District , one crosses Overberg, which means as much as behind the mountain of the Hottentots Holland mountain range. This is followed by the Eden District, named after the Garden of Eden. The road runs along the Karoo, a semi-desert landscape.
Who finds himself unexpectedly in front of the sign of Heidelberg, hasn't lost his way. The name suggests that the place was founded by emigrants from Heidelberg.
We reach the coast at Moselle Bay and experience again spectacular beaches. But when bathing one should be careful, because not only the man loves this coast, but also the great white shark.
This landscape is characterized by numerous lagoons that extend far in the hinterland. Villages, such as Knysna, were founded at the lagoons.

Westkap (Wes-Kaap) ist eine Provinz von Südafrika, die sowohl an den Atlantischen, als auch an den Indischen Ozean grenzt.
Wer frühmorgens in Kapstadt aufbricht und Richtung Westen fährt, erlebt den Sonnenaufgang und die Region in ihren schönsten Farben.
Nachdem man den Distrikt Kapstadt verlassen hat durchquert man Overberg, was so viel wie „hinter dem Berg der Hottentots-Holland-Berge bedeutet.
Danach folgt der Distrikt Eden, benannt nach dem Garten Eden. Die Straße läuft entlang der Karoo, einer Halbwüstenlandschaft.
Wer sich plötzlich vor dem Ortsschild von Heidelberg befindet hat sich nicht verfahren. Der Name lässt darauf schließen, dass der Ort von Emigranten aus Heidelberg gegründet wurde.
Bei Mossel Bay erreicht man die Küste und erlebt wieder Traumstrände. Beim Baden sollte man allerdings vorsichtig sein, denn nicht nur der Mensch liebt diese Küstenstreifen, sondern auch der Weiße Hai.
Diese Landschaft ist gekennzeichnet durch zahlreiche Lagunen, die sich weit ins Hinterland erstrecken. An den Lagunen wurden Ortschaften, wie z.B. Knysna, gegründet wurden.

Bloemhof dam from above
This is an aerial video of Bloemhof Dam and Sandveld Nature Reserve taken with a DJI Phantom 2 Vision +
Bloemhof Dam is a dam in South Africa. It was originally known as the Oppermansdrif Dam when under construction during the late 1960s. It is located at the confluence of the Vaal River and the Vet River, on the border between the North West, and Free State, provinces of . The dam wall is very long with a total length of 4 270 m. The reservoir is very shallow, and therefore needs a large area to mean anything for water storage. The area around the reservoir (dam), has been a protected area, but because it lies on the border between provinces, these became two separate nature reserves. On the North West Province side lies the Bloemhof Dam Nature Reserve, on the Free State side is the Sandveld Nature Reserve.
The town named Bloemhof lies on the North West side of the Vaal River.
The dam was commissioned in 1970, has a capacity of 1,269,000,000 cubic metres (4.48×1010 cu ft), and an area of 223 square kilometres (86 sq mi), the wall is 33 metres (108 ft) high. It is fed with the outflow from the Vaal dam (located upstream near Heidelberg) as well as rain collected in the Vaal-, Vet-, Vals- and Sandriver catchment areas.
