What an adventure this first part is, as I travel with my brother in law. Now incase you give me a hard time for giving him a hard time about his driving, you must know 2 things:
1. I have serious control issues with other people driving the ranger, and,
2. He hasn't driven a car, let alone a big rig for 2 years on account that he i a biker - someones gotta keep em on their toes.

I have loved watching these overland adventures. Makes my heart full but yet so sad, I miss the bush! Please add some information about the smell of the land before and after rain or just if you smell something different. Nobody understands the smell of the bush until you have lived it. Thanks for the memories!.

Love watching your adventures. Born and raised on a farm in Zimbabwe and still travel back to South Africa annually (Kruger is my fav place to be and our road trip through Botswana and around Namibia was second to none). I'm blessed to now call beautiful Australia home (25 years), however, my heart and soul remain forever bound to the magical land of my birth. Sometimes when I'm feeling a bit down, I kickback and join you for a bit, reminiscing my own african bush adventures and road trips and going down memory lane with you. Thank you.

Nice, love it ... I do agree with you, crossing into Zambia with a foreign vehicle is a tedious process.

@WildernessTamed 4 ай бұрын

Oh wow, so many memories. Yellow bread YES! I loved that stuff. 'Bite that orange' what a great quote. On many of my old overloading routes Zambia was more a transit country between Malawi and Zim' so we often pushed through it quickly. But on a couple of occasions we were able to chill out and take in some of its high lights. South Luangwa being one. At least the parts of it that were accessible given the rains. Thank you for taking us on your little adventure, I've loved it.

@4x4ventures_southafrica 4 ай бұрын

Brilliant. Glad to create the memories mate and thank you for sharing. South luangwa is more, is in my radar. Zambia is incomplete and has so much to offer as with all the other countries higher up. What an adventure still awaits

Hi Ryan, loved this first episode and I am looking forward to seeing episode 2. I am in the process of planning an epic journey myself and found a lot of common ground on the route you chose. great to have some referrals on places to stay. Our plans are to do a trip starting in the middle of October next year. We will start from Maun, run up the west side of the Okavango into Namibia and run along through the Caprivi crossing into Zambia at Katima Mulilo, then retracing your steps up to Liuwa. My main concern however is the distances you guys cover daily. Do you have any recommendations on places worth stopping over for an extra night , rather than pushing through for another 100 or 200 km? hope to hear back from you. ps. Keep up the great work. We love watching your adventures. cheers from Norway.

Hey Ryan 👋🏻 it’s James and Ellie 🙂 we’ve been in a hiatus recently. We’ve just came back from your beautiful country a week ago 😭 you said we’d enjoy it ages ago when we commented and you were right it’s the best place we’ve ever been too and we’ve been to a few countries. We did our safari in Marataba near Marakele NP. Now we know why you have so much appreciation for the bush and the wildlife wow 🤯 blew our minds. We’ve been catching up and last watched before this one went out of your Zimbabwe solo trip, sorry your fridge mount broke and you had to cut it short dude. Also we 💙 your videos your our fave out of the guys you travel with 🤫 don’t tell Ed and Chris lol 🤭. This trip to Zambia is awesome we love your videography and your effort for the voiceovers and your edit it’s class it’s like watching a Nat Geo documentary 👌🏼. The time flies watching your videos honestly. You made us laugh a lot during this poor Reece and his driving abilities 🤣. Hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend we won’t be in a hiatus and you’ll here more from us more now 🙂 take care and look forward to the next one 😎

Hi guys, WOW, what a fantastic comment. It really humbled both myself and my wife. We really appreciate your down to earth and authentic comms. So glad you had a great trip and yes, the wilderness in Southern Africa really is so so special, and, we sincerely appreciate you guys coming out and supporting our country and the national parks. It is very very encouraging to hear and uplifts my spirits for great times to come for so many others. The wild is a bug and a great one to be able to share with loved ones. 😂😂 Ed and Chris are absolute legends and like myself, are just happy to receive your support. Next time you are here, reach out and we can meet up. Hopefully my Merch will finally be done and sorted. Have a fantastic week ahead legends and see you at the next one. Rgds Ryan
