  • Van Zyl’s Pass in Namibia! A mistake here has major consequences.
    It’s time to descend. This is the team's most remote, off-road 4x4 route of the trip, located in the vast, untouched wilderness of Namibia.
    Dr. Jon is unexpectedly called for a medical issue, and the roads of Namibia strike again.

    I'm South African and I haven't been to the Van Zyl summit yet, I've heard about it, I want to go now. The pictures probably don't do justice compared to seeing it with your own eyes. The beauty of God's creation, I love it!

    After watching XOverland for a few years it’s always amazing what you can learn. I was amazed, in the last two episodes, to learn that one of my distant relatives was an explorer in southern Africa. We didn’t know that until last Sunday and when I sent the kids a screen shot of the summit of Van Zyls pass they were thrilled. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Oh, and thank you for pronouncing our name correctly.

    I've been watching your videos for several years now and I'm a huge fan. I've already been overlanding in Africa many times. I love the African style of overlanding and I'm also a huge fan of the US overlanding scene. You're such a very likeable team and it's so much fun to watch this series. Seeing how you deal with problems and seeing how the American overlanding style combines with the South African style. Traveling and overlanding is one of the best ways for people to understand each other. What you've done here and how you do it cannot be valued highly enough in these difficult times. It's great that you have some of the best South African overlanders by your side. If I ever ship my Jeep from Bavaria to the USA (the plan is still there!) then I'll visit you in Montana. Best wishes from south Munich, Bavaria, Germany🍺

    That is one awesome show you guys!
    I stumbled by accident across it.
    I was searching for videos about South Africa. And I also do some off roading in Alberta.
    That why it instantly grabbed me, when I saw it.
    Last summer, I had the unbelievable opportunity to spend 3 wonderful weeks in South Africa.
    I think every day about it.
    I came across that poem, and I believe almost everyone that has been to Africa, can agree with me, that’s what I feel when I think about Africa.
    AFRICA SMILED
    written by Bridget Dore in 1995 (dedicated to Nelson Mandela)
    Africa smiled a little
    When you left.
    "We know you," Africa said,
    "We have seen and watched you,
    We can learn to live without you,
    But we know we needn't yet."
    And Africa smiled a little
    When you left
    "You cannot leave Africa," Africa said.
    "It is always with you,
    There inside your head."
    And Africa smiled a little.
    "Our rivers run in currents
    In the swirl of your thumbprints;
    Our drumbeats
    Counting out your pulse,
    Our coastline,
    The silhouette of your soul."
    So Africa smiled a little
    When you left
    "We are in you,"Africa said.
    "You have not left us, yet."

That vehicle is actually a 1980 Isuzu KB. You also mentioned the 300 series Land Cruisers you wish you had in North America, well same goes for us in South Africa that we wish we got your big Toyota trucks. Great footage to watch !! Enjoy South Africa.

    As an outside observer and being and having traveled traveled Southern Africa your biggest challenge is a too tight schedule. Africa is NOT like the rest of the world, time is an extremely relative construct here.
    Should you ever return take it slower and explore more, you've driven past some of the greatest jewels of Southern Africa.

Did you have any issues with people, our banking system was it easy to withdraw money? where do you think we must improve; will you come back or will encourage others to also explore Namibia.
