SOMABULA | The mindset SAVED our weekend....

Sometimes you go camping to escape the world... but what happens when the escape itself becomes a challenge? In this episode of Basecamp Africa, we head to Somabula Nature Reserve near Cullinan. With fuel prices skyrocketing and the world feeling a bit "mad," we decided to stay close to home for the Easter long weekend. We took the Land Cruiser 200 and the Mobi Lodge for a quiet, off-grid experience in the Bushveld, accompanied by my son who finally managed to trade his weekend work shift for a campfire. The Reality of Somabula: While the bush scenery was beautiful and the privacy was top-notch, the weekend wasn’t without its hurdles. From pricing discrepancies and dry taps to narrow tracks that left their mark on the caravan, we’re giving you the "Good, the Bad, and the Honest" review of this local spot. In this video: • The "1980s TV Remote" technique for setting up camp. • Mobi Lodge vs. Canvas Dome: Two very different ways to camp. • An honest look at the facilities (and the lack of wood!). • Why your mindset is the most important piece of gear you can pack. Truth is… camping isn’t about the place. It’s about the mindset you bring and the people you share it with. And by that measure? This weekend was worth it. ________________________________________ Gear Featured: • Toyota Land Cruiser 200 • Mobi Lodge Off-Road Caravan Subscribe to Basecamp Africa for more honest overlanding reviews across Southern Africa. #BasecampAfrica #MobiLodge #OverlandingSouthAfrica #Somabula #BushveldCamping #LandCruiser200 #MindsetMatters
