Pep in the Bush

I’m Pep, originally from the Netherlands, now living in Hoedspruit, South Africa, a small town on the edge of Kruger National Park. Here I run a Guest Lodge in the bush, surrounded by elephants, giraffes and other incredible wildlife. On Pep in the Bush I share my real life as an expat in South Africa: what it’s like to move from Europe to Africa, start over in the bush, and embrace the challenges and beauty of living in the wild. My videos cover daily bush life, wildlife encounters, running a lodge, cultural differences between the Netherlands and South Africa, and inspiring stories from the rural communities around me. Whether you’re interested in moving abroad, visiting Hoedspruit, discovering South African culture, or just want to see what everyday life near Kruger Park looks like, this channel gives you an authentic inside look at life in the bush.
