Zimbabwe is paradise Wakanda is Zimbabwe one day those laughing at Zimbabwe will apologize and one thing I know Zimbabweans are not born to revenge we will welcome 🤗 all with love
One love 🇧🇼
Haaa kudhara ikoko asi
But the bureaucracy and government processes. A place that should be pushing for tourism should be more streamlined and welcoming
The young guy from South Africa, who said 10:02 "most people my age will never get an opportunity like this ". Brought tears to my eyes. He said it all, what's wrong in SA, Zimbabwe and SADC in general.
Another absolutely awesome episode of an epic trip. Thanks for the invite and for being great traveling companions.
Thank you Bruce and what a great one to experience mate. Thank you for joining in on this one and looking forward to the next ones
My home town Chinhoyi ❤️❤️❤️
Ryan the quality of your your work for me is really amazing,. The film work and the narrative make it documentary quality.and extremely interesting👍👍👍. I’m truly impressed. Fergus
Thank you Fergus. Wow, I really appreciate your kind words mate. It’s something I pride myself on, and mostly over looked and never appreciated, but, always means so much when I hear it from someone. Really lekker to hear, thank you bud
My neighboring country 🇧🇼
Thank you
I'm Zimbabwean and always drive through Botswana to SA
We love our Tswana brothers
I like your show guys exiting
Zimbabwe is beautiful with beautiful people. I love Zimbabwe

Absolutely fantastic 👌💃🏻
The lions roar and the fire is bigger 😂. What an adventure. Great filming.
Awesome, place... Love to visit someday... 🦏🐘🦁🐅🦛💙💜🧡❣️❣️❣️
weldone for such a documentary. will use it when i get to visit gonarenzou
No words can describe the amount of work you put in to create such a fantastic episode, thanks a lot Ryan and how do we purchase that overlanding Zimbabwe t-shirt
In 1990 Zimbabwe was worried about large amounts of foreign cash leaving the country when you came into the country you counted out your money and we’re given a card with the amount on it, when you left the country you had to show the card, you better have the same amount or less or you had a problem.
@@drewgilmour3489 Ok great... but the question was how do we purchase the t-shirt?
Hey Matt, it’s not available yet mate. Website is being built with online purchase integration. Everything and more will be available when it is live. Hoping for next year legend. Appreciate your patience and support bud 🤙
Outstanding. Fabulous. Super enjoyed. THANK YOU
2 aeroplanes in Chegutu were delivered in 1994 & used to a restaurant named The Flying Pot.Went to primary school across the road from there
From Canada here !, Your Video has made me want to visit Zimbabwe . Well put together Video , Beautiful Country and Amazing Scenery. Zimbabwe is officially on my #1 Bucket list
Awesome and thank you for your support legend. Job done, Inspired ✅ You will enjoy any adventure in Africa, Do It. Cheers
Zimbabwe is one of the most beautiful countries that I have ever been to.
awesome tips and coverage
Great Ryan welcome to Zim
Thank you, we were happy to be there bud
Amazing video and enjoyable ❤
Speechless i could wait to skip youtube ads
Cant wait to do such a trip
Thanks. Mate please watch the ads till the end. It’s the only way I make a little bit of money. Thanks legend
Love your passion and energy.
Hey Ryan this was absolutely lakka man. Never getting bored repeating to watch. Keep it up bro. And hey next time u come to zim let us know in advance
Lovely adventure, I had to chuckle though at your nervousness about the lions in Mana Pools, you're obviously South Africans & not Zimbabweans! We've grown up to experiences of walking in Mana Pools without a guide etc. Thank you for highlighting Zimbabwe!
I wish I could afford this. Really inspired. Thanks Ryan and team👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Your videos are getting better and better. Cheers
Ryan this was really special to have shared this adventure with you. It really brought it life for me, to reflect on the fact that we accomplished that together! Friends for life Brother! You are truly gifted…The episodes keep getting better and better!!!!
Hey Johno, mate, thank you for your comment legend, your support to me and my family and for being a really good friend. It was an absolutely amazing trip with you and Bruce, and really happy to that we got to experience a special place. Friends for life brother and I look forward to adventuring with you again legend 🤙
Hi Ryan thanks for the great video, really enjoyed it! I have recently bought a Fortuner like John’s,so I am hoping you are going to show us a bit more of his set up. We leave for camping in Kruger in two days time building up for Southern Africa next year, so it would be great to get some tips on the Fortuner build
Thank you David. Good choice and yes, I have had a few requests now to do a walk around of Johns beast. Let’s see how it goes but rest assured, something will be coming in time. Thank you for your comment, and have a good one in the Kruger. See you at the next one legend
Hi John, I commented above asking for details on your build before reading the stream 🙈 Please could I get details of your Fortuner build and who did all your instillation?
Hi Andre, don’t worry bud. We’ll be filming something epic on Johns build. It will be epic mate
I left Zimbabwe in 2000, would love to return home one day, a overland trip is a dream of mine!
This is absolutely next level adventure, the moving paintings, the wild danger of having a tasty steak for dinner in the lion's territory, we very much thank you guys for putting Zimbabwe on the map, we looking forward for more epic wild adventures.
thanks Ryan... was waiting for this episode the whole week.. very epic mate you just made my weekend...next time Legend 🤙
Awesome Tonic, glad you enjoyed it and that it meets expectations. Good to hear your weekend is made and I’ll see you at the next one
Top. A hug from Portugal.
I am seriously addicted to your Videos. Looking forward to the next one. Greetings from Durban.
Thanks for promoting Zimbabwe
He is a fair man
Let's have it .....
That country needs good leadership because everything else is they in abundance.
Idiotsss like you always appear everywhere & are usually out of topic. Who are you to say so. Did the leadership eat all the elephants & lions?. Get a life & watch cartoons next time. This Great Guy enjoyed his trip & thats all he shared. Every Zimbabwean is a leader in Zimbabwe.
Amazing
Lovely to visit my homeland this way. Thanks Ryan.
I agree, what an experience and hope I captured the first part right. All good and see you at the next one
Simply magnificent. 👌
Awesome Lewis. Thank you for your comment
Excellent vlog on that beautiful country and awesome people of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Excellent. Africa is one of Gods phenomenal creation and you have exposed it so well. Love watching all your Adventures.
Wow, just WOW. Loved this one.
The three of you had a trip to remember!
Thanks for sharing
Hie try troutbeck Nyanga as well very beautiful 😍 👌 that syde of the world...
This is great Ryan. Love your passion and energy. Thank you.
I clicked on this out of curiosity ro see what the overlanding was all about, and boy-oh-boy what a well put together video. I kept smiling as I watched you skillfully interlace the video into your journey. I have driven that route many times and it great to see hear your comments and reflections. I hope one day I will join you on this adventure. Tha bad section of the road is when you turn off the highway towards Gweru...I did that in 2011 and regretted it. Its really bad.
Great was looking forward to this one
Many thanks
Thx for a positive adventure in my Zimbabwe plz keep coming
Love watching your utube advantures
We live in the Uk
I need similiar experience of adventuring through neighboring country, I can't wait.
Absolutely magic. We love Zimbabwe. Ryan, thank you

Well done Overlanding,,we are still waiting for more about Zimbabwe..Thanks to your work team to bring Zimbabwe back on the show
Thank you Tawanda, more coming but thanks for your comment
Waiting for episode 2
Welcome u guys Mu Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Wonderful video Ryan, thanks for sharing the best of Africa!
Welcome back home mate. Just for some who maybe intreasted to know...some of our cities had other names back then..for instance
-Gweru formerly known as Gwelo
-Kwekwe formerly known as Queque
-Kadoma formerly known as Gatooma
-Chegutu formerly known as Hartley
-Chinhoyi formerly known as Sinoia
-Karoi means "little witch"
With regards to those planes in Chegutu Ryan, those were actual planes Two Vickers Viscount planes, built in 1959, 1966 were converted into the "Flying Pot" restaurant.
They have an amazing history
Thank you for the info and your comment. Always fantastic to visit special places in Africa, and it was fantastic to travel Zimbabwe. The flying pot, was a great concept and such a pity that it never really took off. I would have loved to have visited it in its hey day.
I flew to the UK in a Vickers Vicount, they were a nice plane
@@nolavout9094 wow that must have taken a long time
Thank you for this. Made me so homesick . My beautiful country . Over-landing is something on my list . Looks like an amazing experience. I can’t wait to do this one day soon 🇿🇼
Your enthusiasm and appreciation of the bush has kept me glued the whole episode, very nice, keep it up. From 🇰🇪
Thank you Ndirangu. Glad you enjoyed it, and will hopefully make it up to your country in the future. Thank you for your support mate, and see you at the next one
@@4x4ventures_southafrica awesome 👍
This is simply short of amazing. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience is as is I were there myself.
Greetings from Queensland Australia- we are utterly stoked watching this, we've so much in common, yet everything is so different. It's such a great feeling to see people doing such similar adventures - same kit, similar vehicles, our values identical yet the culture, the sights, the animals etc is so different! Thank you to all of you! 🙏🙏🙏✌️
G Day mate, and thank you Paul for your comment. It’s appreciated legend and glad you are enjoying the show. I salute you and remain stoked, it makes everything a little bit easier. I’ll see you at the next one and please, share the channel down under, it all adds up and helps me reach new milestones. Keep well legend 🤙
Beautiful Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 Amazing. Love your video. Great 👍
Thanks Chegutu is my district town we are 45 km north along Chegutu Chinhoyi road
Love you guys and also Bruce's channel. Amazing, just got a new subbie! No skipping ads people, lets all support!!
Thank you. I salute you 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I work for a company that handles some of the tollgates and the project at Beitbridge. The country struggles with bank notes. There's a company that the truckers this side use to purchase prepaid vouchers, this will eliminate having to struggle with change.
It's always good to see the same trip from different bloggers. I saw Bruce's one and together with yours it makes me feel like I was with you.
Amazing episode as always. Loved it.
Great stuff ……Beautiful Country 💪
Jislaaik bru. What a trip. Amazing
Beautiful video, quality images awesome narratives , great work!
Thank you Molife, appreciated bud
Ryan your videos are so inspiring. Been watching you and crew for a while and guess what ? I took a big deep and drove from Johannesburg upto Nairobi. Currently in Lusaka on my way back . Covered Botswana, Zim , Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania and Kenya on my 1st trip . Will see what to do next . Africa is beautiful and I now understand why you guys are always on the road . I have seen your car by your house a couple of times and didn't know if I can have a 2 mins chat and word of advice from you. Thank you for the experience man❤
Thanks mate. Always good to hear amazing adventures.
Yeh, stop by and always keen to offer advice as best I can.
Keep well and stay safe legend
Really didn't want this to end, nice adventure really enjoyed. Thanks Ryan.
Can’t wait to. See u guys .. This month we’re going.. just wnn see u.. ..😊
Highlight of the video for me was the deeply personal yet fully relatable monologue between 22 min and 23 min. Emotive stuff right there.
Thank you guys for showing how great is out country and how lovely we are.
Thanks Ryan and crew for taking ME 😊 along on your journies...you never fail to impress...I get good laughs...goose bumps too (roaring lions at Chitake springs) thanks 🙏 and more safe travels., looking forward to next parts
Thank you Patricia, and it was only a pleasure to take you on the adventure. I’ll see you at the next one and hopefully it turns out to be a good one.
Am sure it will be "epic"as usual.. thanks 😊🙏

Another amazing episode. Started watching your videos here in the UK last year in lockdown and they have inspired a group of us on so many adventures. Heading to Botswana in September and now planning a trip to Zimbabwe for the next one.
That’s awesome Hannah, thank you for your support and great to hear that you are and have booked some next level adventures. They will be something very special that’s for sure. Enjoy and I’ll see you at the next one 🤙

Looks like the Ranger and the Fortuner are on All Terrain tyres. What is the Landy using
Awesome footage mate, love the channel

The easier way to get to Gweru is to stay on the Harare Road till u get to Mvuma then offramp to Gweru .That way you stay on the good road and you drive faster.Wow Can't wait for the next episode.New s ubie here...
This is epic.....thanks Ryan
