Flooded Roads & Drowned Vehicles | Unexpected Sunday 4x4 Adventure

#flood #SouthAfrica #today

What started as a quick Sunday drive turned into a full-blown flooded 4x4 adventure 💦

Just 1.5 hours from home, we found a gravel road completely flooded. With some friends already out there — we decided to join in and see if we could find more hidden flood routes. That's when the Toyota Hilux got filled with water on the inside.

The water crossings were way deeper than expected, and let’s just say... my Prado didn’t come out unscathed either 😅 Plastic arches gone, mud everywhere, but smiles all around.

We wrapped up the chaos with coffee and a bite in Piketberg. Just another spontaneous day out in South Africa 🇿🇦
