S1-Ep.22 | Leaving Cape Town: Meeting Legends, Shipwrecks & Stem Cell Drives | Matches on the Map

In this episode we wrap up our last two weeks in Cape Town before heading north towards Piketberg. Along the way we meet overlanding legend Mark Sampson, explore Kommetjie, and discover the SS Kakapo shipwreck on Noordhoek beach. For overland enthusiasts, campers, hikers, and travel vlog lovers, this chapter is packed with scenic drives, campsite stays, and the highs and lows of life on the road in Betsy, our self-built expedition truck running on used cooking oil. But Matches on the Map is about more than adventure. We share a heartfelt lunch with Makinase, whose daughter Shemiah’s story continues to inspire our mission to raise awareness for Fanconi Anaemia and stem cell donation. Recruitment drives at in2foods, Curro High School, and CHOC House remind us why this journey matters: adding ethnic diversity to the global stem cell registry and giving families facing blood cancer and bone marrow failure a second chance. If you love documentary style travel vlogs, camping adventures, hiking trails, and stories of people trying to make a difference, join us on this expedition from South Africa to Vietnam.
