    Spectacular, just Spectacular, I'm Zimbabwean and this makes my wife angry I can actually spend data😂 watching people have this much fun in my country. I also follow overlanding with Bruce and u guys are amazing. Caesar from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Just one day, I'll have a journey quite like this. I love you guys for this.

    What can I say, we have just stayed 6 nights in Gonarezhou, last night a week ago, at the end of a 4 week Zim road trip. Seeing this on our 2nd day home in Oz brings tears to my eyes. Gonarezhou is officially my favourite place in the world. We stayed some nights in Chipinda camp 1 and did not need to go anywhere to enjoy the wildlife passing by. Zim has some of the best wildlife, national parks and genuine wild camping of the world. The people are friendly and fantastic, and while travelling you meet the most wonderful visitors. What a place! Can't wait to get back and explore more parts of the park. Thanks for the video @Edwardbath. Looking forward to part 2.

  • @Jayseadoulbleyou

    I did the same trip and route into Gonarezhou with my grandparents when I was 15 in 2012. The river crossing into Directors had my gran very nervous as one would be (like you guys).
    She demanded that we wade it first to see if it was okay to cross, we chose note to. When we got to the island on the left (25:57), it was absolutely surrounded by crocodiles, only then for the hippos in the next stretch! She was so shook! It's a really cool memory.
    Thank you for posting this video, I lost my grandfather a year ago, so this makes me feel warm and nostalgic❤️
    We went in a Toyota Landcrusier 76 Troopie he called Skillie. He would have loved this video!

    Those little jump packs are handy if you're ever in a place where you don't have another vehicle to jump you. Got one in our daily cars here. Charge them every month to be safe, twice in winter. Good to see that you guys are using something that basic to combat electrical gremlins.
