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.

A true highlight of my Overlanding career! Such a wonderful to be a part of!
Awesome to see how much you are enjoying the adventure and how much you add to the team!
Hey Adrian when I saw you joining the team, I blushed like a kid.
👌helping that little Girl with the broken .EPIC
Thank you for joining us for episode 6! Following Van Zyl’s path in Namibia was an amazing journey.
Thank you for making all of these videos!
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!
Pretty amazing to be able to video call a doctor from such a remote location. Starlink is a lifesaver.
It was certainly not what I expecting at 3 AM when my phone rang.
great job guys helping the young girl, this is humanity at its best. much love
May God bless you for helping that little Girl.
❤
Adrian is a class act.
RoamOverlanding ... Whoot whoot
Of all the overland videos out there, yours is by far the best, most epic, and entertaining. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thank you! It’s a huge team effort.
This episode was a pinnacle of editing and writing for me, and a masterclass for the masterless. Great job! I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I do all your productions.
I got emotional watching you guys help that little girl🫂
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.
Just as amazed watching a kid riding a donky in the middle of the desert as he must be waving back at those vehicles. Magic
that kid is actually living in the "expedition"...
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🍺
Probably one of the best terrain in the world to overland
Agreed!
The one thing I'm envious of is the lack of light pollution. I can only imagine a good telescope out there on a clear night.
What Epic timing, Braai almost done and I will be chilling at watching you guys and Girls Enjoying Africa .( Lekker Braai ) Justin Stark
You guys have done a really great job with this series. Congratulations on an epic run!
Glad to see you checking out this content Andrew! I learned a lot from your adventures!
Another amazing episode! It so wonderful that you could help that little girl with her arm. I hope it heals well! The statues along the way are interesting! Would be so cool to learn their real meanings.
Awesome video as always XO Crew. The Africa series is such an epic series. Y’all are such amazing and awesome people y’all always do y’all’s best to help someone in need where ever y’all Rome. Thanks for letting us ride long with y’all on y’all’s adventures.
Every episode. Dankie Thank you Siyabonga for helping that girl
I’m enjoying these so much. Special thanks to Peter for telling his audience about this. Looking forward to the next video.
I need tissues now...what an amazing gesture, providing medical assistance to fellow human beings....you did great
At every point in your overland trekking journey, TIA will have the same as well as a different meaning. Be mindful, thankful and overpowered by the aura of timelessness, for This is Africa. Envelope yourself in its majesty. Blessings from all that was born onto this land.
Now I see where the thumbnail was taken from so beautiful ❤
I'm enjoying this series so much and wishing to be there right now❤ love this series
What up from 302 thought I was seeing Jurassic Park for a sec but it was just ostriches running 🏁
Giving Healthcare to the little girl is amazing. What luck for her to run into you guys ❤️
❤

Thank you so much for helping that girl. You guys are awesome. Thank u for visiting our Namibia 🇳🇦
Someday I will come back and get to see too!
Many things (crawling, desert, helping people,...) in just one episode...jaw drooping!
A part of Namibia i have not been to, on my list. Awesome episode.
Another Great episode. thanks so much for all the hard work you guys put into making these videos. Cheers !
Wow! Great episode... and thanks for helping the little girl. Field medicine.
When you see those fuel drums you've always got to leave a bottle of water it's to help someone that ran out of petrol all the local town
As always, awesome video.
Cannot wait for the next one!😊
So far 6 episodes to binge!
I have truly enjoyed watching. Seeing Africia this way is exciting . I love the team work. You all deserve a you who
Hi, Van Zyl's pass was built by Ben van Zyl in 1960 and opened in 1965. He was appointed Commissioner of Bantu Affairs in the Koakoveld in 1947 and built the pass to enable him to visit the area under his control a little bit easier.
The rock crawling and then into the sand. So sweet, would love to be there with my family in our tacoma and enjoying it with you all. Meeting more people, offering help and the rock men love it. Best thing about it, all new experiences and memories.
It would be epic if Ashley said hello to this comment. I'm her biggest fan!!!!
The footages in the desert at the end of the video are so beautiful and to be honest I had some tears , because that remind me the Journey I made through the Libyen desert in 2009 . Thank You so much .❤
Watching this from Windhoek and this has been a fantastic trip guys. Enjoy this beautiful country.
It is so incredible!
Ace bandage is priceless every place has them cheap , I keep a small plastic ammo box with 1st aid anytime I go camping etc
Epic and thanks for helping the little girl. Safe travel guys.
She was such a cuttie too!
I recently began watching your channel and my 😍🔥😎this is amazing.. thank you for helping the young girl in Namibia..👏🏻👏🏻that is true humanity right there❤❤all the best in your adventures ❤❤ and welcome back to Africa let this not be your last trip to this vast Continent Africa.. watching all the way from Kenya 🇰🇪 😍😍
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."
A lovely poem! Thank you for sharing! We're so glad you found our video!
Loving this - God bless you for reaching out in kindness to help others.
Well done for the awesome aid to the girl !
Stuff of legends! 💯
😀Epic , Chilling Cape Town .
What an amazing series! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
i'm exicited to watch this new episode.
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Greetings and support from Cape Town.
Thanks for great show. Nice balance of real vs cinematic. Better / different than Nordic series. Maybe that was intended or because I’m watching on my phone 😉. Looking forward to Africa part duex and visiting here in Kenya.
Wow, another fantastic episode!
Good on ya XO crew, she was lucky to run in to you guys
Looking forward to each episode of your "Africa Xpedition" - love to watch your Africa Overlanding Xpedition. Also been following your programs the past 5 years. Hope you are coming to see Table Mountain. Keep on xploring! Wish you all of the best on your adventure. Stay safe, Joseph (Cape Town, South Africa).
Loving this series

Just love watching you guys. Its 10 at night and have to watch this episode before going to bed
Great and amazing expedition, i love it! My country is beautiful 🙌 Please upload EP7 already 🙂
i was about to go the bathroom before watching this..... now im constipated
Busy watching all the episodes, and just amazing to see the American vehicles driving in Botswana/Namibia. In this video @ 13:17 min, you mention a shot up Land Cruiser. 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.
Excited!
This whole Seties is a Master Piece❤❤❤
Another African Ripper.......
Thanks for the share 😎🤙
Well done, awesome trip and area , was there in 2012 . Enjoy!
TOP!!👌👋
U guys will always be amazing!
Great episode cant wait for the next one.
A ratchet strap connected to that armor and then to the towing points of the frame could pull it, all while staying clear of the end flying off lol
Wow
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.
Great video none the less.
Enjoy your trip! Good narrative as well. Nearest hospital however was at Opuwa, one days drive away.
I hope you get to see the albino giraffe that lives in that Des
Oooh
Love these! Man what a show! I am curious too on how the Sequoia’s weird cargo compartment faired as the pack mule.
Great footage guys, being a namibian born its always special to see. When you go back, you can leave the secoia for me thanks.😂
The big water tanks supplies you may come across in the area where also built by the military
Epic ❤❤❤
such a beautiful teem and i rally like you help that girl
coming for the brandy 😄
Just found out about the channel this morning and I'm loving the series
Welcome!
@@Clay_Croft thanks! It's a very beautiful morning in Northern Africa so good morning!😊
I've been watching your expeditions for months and was very excited to see that you guys are going to visit my country Namibia. Can we have your honest thoughts on Namibia. 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.
Another great video, I wish you guys would share more of the costs when your getting fuel or groceries or at the end of a series so we have an idea how expensive it was to travel !
Stunning trek. Please note, it is Ka-who-ko-land, not Koh-wha-ko-land... Not KoAkoland, it is KaOkoland
Wow!❤
Please let us know before the episode ends that its ending , I was so focused on the trip then it ended 😀without warning 😀.loved it thank you . Now I wait 😀Justin Stark Cape Town.
I wonder how many families are currently discussing if they could do this type of trip with their kids. Let’s gather here 👏🏾😁
Man, good thing you recovered quickly for your tire sponsor😂😂😂 Should have been running Falcon Wildpeak AT3W, Always next time.
Awesome!! What brand/model are those pancake jerry cans? Do you have a link for them?
A shock with an exposed shaft, why why why
"he's been turning his car off every time we stopped" So that means you didn't turn your cars off when you stopped?!! OMG :)))
