  • Only 8 months from their return from the Nordic series the XOVERLAND trucks are stuck in port in South Africa. The team must work through the critical delays of the expedition. In addition, the entire Croft family is on the full, two-month expedition. The seasoned 9-member team is the biggest and best yet, and that's exactly what's needed to get through this incredible 10-part journey.
    The Crofts (Clay, Rachelle, Cyrus -17, Ryder -15, and Eli -13) join Dr. Jon, Richard Giordano, Ashley Giordano @DeskToGlory, and Peter Jr. VanStralen @EFRT on the ground. Local South African Christoff Eilard @GetOutGO takes the XO team in and shows them the ropes.
    The three vehicles, Orion the ‘22 Toyota Tundra, Simba the ‘23 Toyota Sequoia, and Raven the ‘20 Toyota Tacoma are on the ground, stuck in port jail.
    Hopefully, the trucks will be released and the ultimate, Africa adventure can begin! #xoverland #africa #overlanding #familyoverland

    @TheTravelingTogetherJournal 2 місяці тому +17

    I've never been excited by Xoverland's videos, like other people seem to be. I just realised it's because they have such a different approach to overlanding. Not so much a meandering journey, more of a goal focused mission. It detracts from some of my favorite aspects of overland travel, but I imagine it's necessary to create videos of this production quality and to attract the sponsors they have.
    I still appreciate the chance to see the sights. Thanks for more free entertainment!

Christoff and mates have shared so many wonderful episodes with South Africa and rest of world of their expeditions across Botswana / Namibia. So really looking forward to your episodes and how you create memories in absolutely magical and breathtaking environments. If you haven’t experienced Botswana in person it’s difficult to explain to someone the freedom.
    Hope you enjoy / (enjoyed) and created lots of memories.
    The encounters with Leopard, Lion, Elephants and Hyena walking freely through campsites is scary but also amazing experience.

We have also done a trip as a family with my professional mentor from South Africa through Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania through the Serengeti, to Mozambique, and back home. Over 11,000 km in 28 days, a true adventure, never to be forgotten. We have since done many trips in RSA, and our country is absolutely beautiful. I love Westerns and have a dream to visit Montana and the Pony Express route someday. God's speed and blessings, regards Robert Moffat.
