When we heard there was a self drive rally that adventured through 4 different African countries with the chances of seeing elephants, lion and giraffes at 100% - we were in!!
4 Countries, 2 Checkpoints, 3 Parties, over 3000km across Southern Africa in 19 days.
Any Car, Any Route!
Our choice of car - A 1971 VW beach buggy names Gorgeous George
Our choice of route South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and ending in Zambia.
This MAD self-drive adventure has been no other word than EPIC!
It has blown our expectations out of the water after just the first few days on the road.
The rally allows us to pass through multiple national game park in turn allowing us to self-drive our own safari tour. We have seen it all Zebras, Elephants, giraffes (ok apart from Lions.. but we kind of went the wrong way) and have witness some of the most breathtaking sunsets and scenery that exist on the planet.
Not only will this be a once in a lifetime challenge but the main reason behind taking part is to raise vital funds for children who are in need of school shoes but their families cannot afford them.
No child should be without shoes.
(We get to actually go and help the little fellas with picking shoes and trying them on so they have the right fit *cries*)
Not only will we get to experience first hand where your donations will be going but you will also as we plan on filming our Put Foot Rally journey from start to end in a 3 part series.
So join us as we make our way across Africa in a 'car' that should only be driving us to the beach.
Will it make it? You'll have to watch to find out....
⭐⭐ Please DONATE here and gift a child some school shoes: ⭐⭐

Thanks so much to everyone that has tuned in! - Where in the world are you watching from?!
And what do you guys think of Gorgeous George?! Mean machine - or will he fall at the first hurdle?! 🤣🤣
Watching from my home in Cape Town. Gorgeous George will 100% make it. My granddad used to do that same trip in a vw bug when he was a youngster, so if a beetle can do it in the 60’s I’m 100% sure you guys can do it.
Watching from Nevada!! Love George just like you guys to add a challenge on the challenge I love it. You both are so inspiring
In watching from East London SA but have been to Nam last year. I'm so happy and excited to see that you can see our amazing country. Also your first meal is generally called bunny chow
Watching from Brazil! Go Gorgeous George! Do be careful of the wild Animals lads!
Watching from hospital in Elgin NE Scotland. Absolutely love how you add to the challenge with a less than suitable car, but doing amazing all the same x
Amy's anxiety on the first day I just wanted to jump through the TV and give her a big hug and remind her how amazing and strong she is!!!
I have anxiety like that too Trev ❤ seriously can relate - ice water helps me - does anything help you trev? ❤❤❤
😅you guys are t
he best
Ok that anxiety thing hit hard! I literally knew everything you were feeling on a granular level. That shit sucks. However, having a partner that understands and can talk you down has saved me on many occasions. Thanks for sharing all that, it was incredibly relatable ❤
Aimee is a super hero. Seeing her push through her anxiety makes me feel like I can do it too. It gives me hope that I can still try new things. 💪🏼👍🏼💕
Same!!! I started crying sympathy tears, as I so know that awful feeling.
You are a conqueror Amiee!!!❤
25:20 Craig shouting Aimee! Legendary 😂 You go guys!!
😂😂😂
Midwest USA here!
I don’t cry easy, but Aimee when you started to cry and have anxiety, well you know the rest lol. We are truly invested in you guys and we believe in you!
Please don’t be a happy meal for a lion💞
Your product ads are, by far, my favorite advertisements anywhere. Better than the USA NFL Super Bowl ads....and those are the best of the best. So, yeah, you're that good. 😁❤️💯
I've never NOT SEEN Trev work through her anxiety! And I suffer from that too. She's a trooper!😊😊😊
Guys!!! This is EPIC! We drove these roads last year with Crusoe when he was 8 months old and it was our favourite adventure EVER. We did however, have a very smart Toyota Hilux with allllll the gear. George is a legend, but no doubt he’s pushing your limits and the fact that you’re still smiling is incredible. Safari njema team kinging-it! We are cheering you on from Portugal!!! 🐘 🦁
That Surfshark “advertisement” was the best ever … so much creativity. Thank youuuuu. ❤️
Amy, you are a warrior queen! You are crushing this, anxiety and all! So unbelievably proud of you both! It’s the most amazing adventure! Can’t wait for the rest of the trip!
I love how well Amy’s partner eases her through her anxiety. I love your videos. I love your commercials. I hope these people are paying y’all lots of money for those commercials because I can promise you other videos I fast forward through them. Not yours! Thanks for making my Sundays so enjoyable. I don’t know y’all but I love ya.❤
Herbie (The Love Bug) has nothing on little ole George! Since painting the blue, green, he looks like a frog for sure. He has to be the smallest Dune Buggy I've seen. Loved the comment from, what, the toll lady? "Either that is too small for ya or you are too big for it" (something like that). Leave it to you two for such a wacky adventure. The party at the end had your names all over it!
Curious George is the perfect name for your buggy.
Ami wearing a winter hat in Africa is kinda crazy.
The flamingos were cool. Good thing you found a mechanic.
A trip of a lifetime. Thanks for taking us along.
This was such a Sunday treat. Thank you both!! What a beautiful journey. I hope y’all had a blast and are enjoying the ride. & George is a stunner!
Craig do you remember that cartoon years ago the wild Thornberrys? You remind me of the dad Nigel 😂😂
Omw, my childhood just flashed back😂...
You two crazy kids!!!!!As a true South African I think you guys are nuts to do this!!But I have watched you over the years in even crazier situations...so I know you will be ok.Enjoy it dudes...try not to get eaten OK??😅😅
I couldn't click on this fast enough. This is epic! Seeing how you've adapted George over the miles is an adventure all in itself. You guys are bringing not only school shoes, but smiles and giggles across Africa. Well done.
Love and solidarity to a fellow anxious pooper ❤💩
Aimee's red K-way beanie is giving Afrikaans girl vibes😆
My uncle is in my house right now getting ready for his trip back to Africa (Liberia) tomorrow as a Missionary/Teacher. He spent 15 years in Namibia!! He's laughing looking over my shoulders at your adventures!!
"Gorgeous George" = Perfection (*chef's kiss*)
Oh my God the absolute joy you both bring to the World 😍 Simply amazing ❤️
Despite the problems, what an absolute ADVENTURE the two of you are having! I'm already convinced that I want to do it in 2024. So excited to watch the rest of this series! Thanks for bringing us along. Oh, and Aimee......you're an absolute badass.
Watching from Philadelphia, PA. I adore your sponsor ads. I could watch and rewatch them. GG is a mean, green, fighting machine!
My weekends are incomplete without you both !
U2 are my favourite content creators no matter how dire a situation yous get into u always put a fun element into it and the outtakes 😂
This music on this video is AWESOME!! The editing is top notch! The truth these guys share about how they do these adventures is so inspiring. I could never do what they are doing. So very proud of them.
Houston, Texas, USA
Love your attitudes and appreciation for life and all adventures. God bless you both.
I ❤ your adventures. I’m laughing silently just like the guys laughed at Craig’s outfit while I’m sitting with my ill hubby sleeping near me. I need laughter. I need joy and you provide it every single time! You are legend.
I was waiting for your video all day (7.45pm now) and you did not disappoint haha I suffer from anxiety and IBS so totally get how terrifying some situations can be for Aimee. Awesome you're still doing all of this and going on so many adventures! Can't wait for the next video 🎉
Thanks so much Dani - I try my best haha 😆
Awesome Kinging It Adventure! And you’re helping kids who need shoes.
I love how friendly and helpful everyone is there. Looks like y’all are having a blast 💥
The fact that y’all were in South Africa ❤️
the way he comforted amy on the first day WHAT A MAN
Thank you for keeping the footage of Amy’s anxiety! My anxiety causes me to hold myself back from things and I so want to go on amazing adventures. Seeing you guys work through stress and anxiety is such an amazing example of how we can all push ourselves through when we feel really bad inside ❤
I'm so excited to experience this rally through your eyes! Much love from NAMIBIA 🇳🇦 ❤
good luck and thank you for taking us with you!!
Me to myself every time one of your videos ends : “Gosh, I love them so much.”
I'm tuning in from USA - southern Illinois. I'm rooting for GG - I think he will make it through. Watching Craig supporting Aimee through her anxiety is so wonderful. The love and respect you both have for each other is such a special thing. And I just have to say, I love watching your commercials! They are so fun and entertaining just like your videos that I don't wish they were already over with. Thank you so much for all your dedication to your art of videography and storytelling. This 47 minute video flew by, I can't believe it was that long!
Oh my gosh!!!!!!! You guys are true one-of-a-kind folks!!! I can't think when I've had such fun just watching a video! I'm sorry you've had such an issue with Gorgeous George, but the humor you've shared is priceless. I can hardly wait to see the next video, but meanwhile, please be safe!!! xoxoxo
I don’t think I’ve laughed so loud!! Craig running after Aimeeeee! Apex predators are out there! 😂😂
I don’t usually post but I really wanted to thank you for your courage to post it all - not just the goods. Seeing how you push through the anxiety gives my family hope and strength and inspires me - yes, things might not always go right and all my what ifs might be true but don’t let it deter you from living life fully. Thank you
Thank you for keeping it real showing what anxiety really looks like even though it would be easy to edit out. I personally struggle with anxiety too, and it helps to see someone else doing what they love (traveling) despite having it. Loved the video!!
The scenery is stunning! Your adventures are delightful… such interesting people, and such fascinating stories! Epic once in a lifetime adventures!
George is giving major Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I freaking love it
Have been so excited for this Kinging-it challenges are next level… can’t wait to see Aimee’s reaction to some of the animals. Good luck guys stay safe. Love you guys ❤ xxx
Aimee you are so inspiring getting out there in spite of your anxiety! Craig, I hope your burns are healing up. I love Gorgeous George!! ❤
I love the South African accent it's so amazing to hear out accent online every once in a while.
Amiee I don’t think you’ll read this, but I want you to know you’re one of my biggest inspiration. I have suffer with terrible anxiety for 15 years now, and it’s made my world so small. But watching you push through so many difficult moments over the years has given me so much hope.
I decided this is my moment, and I booked a solo trip to Europe for my 30th birthday (with no refunds). I’m terrified and excited.
Because of you I’m finally going to “rule my own world!” Thank you for sharing your life and struggles with the world.❤
Love this. Honestly don't know where you get the energy. I'm knackered just watching...
We’re done in mate. Ready to take the next year off honestly 😆
Amy you’re a freaking warrior thank you for being yourself and always ending up overcoming every struggle ❤
every Sunday I watch your amazing videos and I just laugh, enjoy the drone footage, seeing your crazy outfits, your laughter is addicting and solving problems makes me stop and watch 47 minutes and forgetting about the problems of life living in America. I don't understand why you don't have a million subscribers
Amy/Trevor I'm a 43 year old bloke that suffers just like you do with anxiety.
It was nice to see you perk up.
Hurry up and get married just do it in your garden and keep your money for future endeavours.
My daughter and I know life's too short and so do you two.
Love you two you're both amazing .
You guys make every Sunday brighter! Cheers to you both!
Amazing guys! Trevor is becoming a true Safari mechanic. Greetings from Rainy Belgium 😉
WE HAD NO IDEA YOU GUYS WERE IN Cape Town! would've LOVED TO HAVE MET YOU GUYS IN PERSON!!!!eJOY aFRICA!!
Craig you are so sweet and supportive when Amy’s having a rough time. True love! It’s nice to see!!
Love your guys videos ! thank you for always bringing us along for the crazy adventures!!❤
Ah thank you so much for always tuning in!!
@@kingingit can NOT wait to see where this adventure takes you guys! SAFE travels!
Aimee and Craig, this adventure is a treat to watch. Thank you❤️❤️
Anyone notice how Aimee’s mustache kept creeping to the right during the Surf Shark ad?
Fantastic content and editing which is much better than the vast majority of stuff on TV. They need to snap you up ❤
Bloody brilliant video lads .. me and my husband crack up when we watch your videos. You are such kind hearted fun loving adventure seeking nutters and we are in awe of you both ❤️ fantastic
What an adventure! Although, watching you is pretty anxiety inducing, I had to hide behind a cushion a few times! 😊 Stay safe! 😁🤙
I honestly hadn't realised how small gorgeous George was until I saw him parked outside the hotel next to the "normal" sized car lol... what an epic start to the rally xx
Absolutely brilliant, my darlings!
❤❤
My dog is called Gorgeous George. Full name - Gorgeous George Costanza. I'm glad we're not the only ones bringing the name back!
You know where I come to when I’m feel down and not having a good day. The this channel! Always gives me a smile seeing they cool adventures they go on ❤️
Wow Amy dealing with anxiety is never easy… not only do you deal with it but you also don’t hide it. Feeling for you Trev 😢
Epic drone shots!
Amy you are the best. When my anxiety kicks in the panic attacks come soon after. I love how you don't let it effect you traveling, I can't stand being around a lot of people or loud noises anymore. You and Craig are engaged and we are so happy, so whenever you have to take off your ring it's ok you owe us no explanations anyway anyone in their right mind would not travel the way that ya'll are with expensive jewelry on or jewelry that has sentimental value, I ty could get lost or stolen. Love from Baltimore Maryland. I just love the ads and the fact that the 2 of you do their ads for your station.
Both of you are so courageous!
I honestly don't think I'd have the nerve to do the rally.
Great job!
Anyone else think that gorgeous George is a mini custard!!!
It means a lot that you continue to open up about your struggles with mental health. Thank you for sharing! It helps a little and sometimes that’s all you need in the moment.
💙🇺🇲Try to remember that breakdowns are part of the adventure frustrating maybe but at the end of it all you'll be proud of yourselves for the sacrifices you make for some very needed shoes for those beautiful African kiddos!!! 🙏☮🙏 ps - from Gresham, Oregon USA
Not sure your aware but its such a beautiful coincidence!! There is the amazing Welsh charity called 2 wish (supporting suddenly bereaved parents & siblings who lose children based in Llantrisant) their mascot is an elephant called gorgeous George (as elephants never forget) so this is wonderful in so many ways!! We are supported by 2 wish for our son Hunter who died, we met you on your Welsh walk! and we love you guys in general! So the kids are jumping at the name!! xx
15:43 honestly this is the only channel I watch such ads cause how funny they are
These sponsor ads are just too good🤣🤣
That was the second time you brought me to tears Amy first, of course was your ring in the engagement, but the second time was when you didn’t feel well getting ready to go. Every moment of this video I am sitting there with you in spirit, and I am very frightened for you.
Jeez that was stressful, fun, but stressful. There should have been a warning ⚠️😂
Epic journey guys !
I love your advertisements as always 😂😂😂
no exaggeration, some of the best content on UA-cam...well done you pair of beautiful bastards X
Nice!! I just finished a 1 hour clean with me video and got my place sparkling. Then I exit that video and there's a new Kingin It. ❤❤ It's like a reward!
Literally the only ads I ever watch! Champs!!!
Amy’s anxiety is amazing, only because she has gotten on many more adventures than my anxious ass! Way to push thru lad you make us proud EVERY time!!!
25:16 WAIT FOR ME!!!! hahahha poor Craig!!!! I am LOVING watching this I cannot stop laughing! You are so strong Amy and you two together are so amazing!
I've waited a few days to watch this as couldn't find the time until now. And what an epic episode, u didn't disappoint. Well done lads
Amy you are such a warrior. Thank you for sharing about your anxiety and being vulnerable. And yet you persevere even with your mental health struggles. I love your channel.
I can’t believe you make it EVERYTIME! I don’t know if you just make it look more dramatic or if you’re just very lucky 🙈😅
This is by far, the best ever adventure! The fact that you've retained whatever sanity you have left is brilliant!
You know what's so amazing about you? You also show your weak moments, and Dear Stuffing! that makes you so much more human!
Props to Amy for being vulnerable and not afraid to show it , yet being the lightness of being in it all.. Props to Craig for being the supportive understandaing other half, grounded, yet so openminded and creative that Amy s personnality can just shine also with you.
You guys are so amazing and a combination for a life long rollercoaster! You will never get bored but I know it takes vision and work to always keep that balance. Keep even, keep balanced, you are a joint force to reckon with!
🥹🥹 you guys are honestly the best!! I didn’t want this video to end, you’re absolutely smashing it and George is a stunner.. cant wait for the next one ❤ safe travels lads xx
Kept refreshing and then it appeared!!!!!! AHHHHHH Africa adventure
Any I know you probably won't see this. However, as someone who suffers from anxiety also, there is one thing I don't ever see you do. Have you heard of butterfly tapping. It is when you tap yourself until you calm a bit. It really helps me. Love you guys btw!!
If you need to brother, flush that air filter out with water whenever you can and use another while that one dries!!
Next time get those all terrain tires and air down when you hit sand! Y'all are doing great!! Good luck to you both!!❤
WOW wild zebras! How incredible. What an adventure!
As a South African I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Many of us love visiting Namibia and camping is like a national sport to us. I currently live in a country that I doubt you've been to. Brunei Darussalam.
You two are amazing raising funds to help buy shoes for the kids! ❤
Being able to laugh at yourself and allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to know you’re silly, embrace it - as the opposite of giving in to being an adult (no matter your age) is a huge blessing. Being silly in harmless fun ways is great!!
Looks like all cars are having trouble, I think George will stay Gorgeous and get you to the finish line!! Tuning in from New York
Craig and Aimee you guys spread so much joy. I love watching your UA-cam channel, nobody else makes me laugh like you two. Thankyou for your courage, transparency and humour. You have helped me through a super dark time. 1,2,3 BYE.xx
Fantastic music for fantastic scenery! Viewing from British Columbia, Canada!!!! 🇨🇦
Your videography is stunnin' lads! Your adventurous spirits are mental! I enjoy your videos so much. Best reality TV ever! Be safe please. Much love and encouragement from Minnesota USA!
