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
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
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
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.
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 🤙
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.
Great Ryan welcome to Zim
Thank you, we were happy to be there bud
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.
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

Thanks for promoting Zimbabwe
He is a fair man
Excellent. Africa is one of Gods phenomenal creation and you have exposed it so well. Love watching all your Adventures.
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.
Absolutely fantastic 👌💃🏻
Awesome, place... Love to visit someday... 🦏🐘🦁🐅🦛💙💜🧡❣️❣️❣️
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
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 🤙
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 🤙
Amazing
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 🇿🇼
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!!!!

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
Great was looking forward to this one
Many thanks

Your videos are getting better and better. Cheers
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

Thank you for showing us the beauty of Zimbabwe
This is simply short of amazing. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience is as is I were there myself.
Great stuff ……Beautiful Country 💪
Hey Ryan you in my old stomping ground brings back so many memories. Went to Mana pools in 2019 to test a caravan on the rd between binga and Karoi. Eish big mistake with the permit. Hope u don't put blend in your diesel. Great video keep them coming.
Oh this is a great trip mate!! Brilliant scenery, camp shots and travel/vehicle imagry...its got it all. Thanks Ryan for putting in the hard work to bring it to us.
Thank you Vic, and awesome to hear that you appreciate the work and episode. Awesome to hear it and can’t wait to show you the second one mate
Amazing Overlands 🤗😇😇
Absolutely amazing mate
glad you guys are doing the Zimbabwe version .epic, great effort you put in your work
What a magic adventure Ryan, it must have been very nerve racking with the lions so close by. Thanks for sharing mate, we do love our utes here in Australia, especially as they were invented here 😁👍
Hey Glen, how you going mate? Thank you for your comment bud, and yes, having lion so close to camp really is something quite special, and definitely scary. We do enjoy the moments like this though, but we become extra cautious and start making the plan to get into the RTTs. I never knew that the UTEs were invented in Aus. Really appreciate the info legend. See you at the next one mate, and thanks again
Ryan and team thank you so much for the detailed videos, they have so much information. Ooops sorry about the fright with the snake, do take care guys. You guys are doing fantastic work, keep that up💖
Brilliant Episode!! #overlandingzimbabwe 🇿🇼 for the win!
Thank you Shane, and glad you enjoyed it. Yes, #overlandingzimbabwe for the absolute win
Really enjoyed this trip. WILD as it can get. All the best for the next overland trip.
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.
Nice story ,for me its super awesome 👌
Another awesome adventure, you guys never cease to amaze me👏 I was thrilled by this epic and amazing overlanding in Zimbabwe episode. #Many greetings from Zimbabwe✌😎
Thank you guys for showing how great is out country and how lovely we are.
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
Thank you Watson, glad you enjoyed this one mate
Well done guys,nice watching helping us to know our own mother land.
This was super exciting! Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. The views were breathtaking 🥰.
Thanks for a beautiful adventure
Living vicariously through your content 👌🏾. Thank you Ryan…
It’s a pleasure bud. Enjoy it 🤙
I came back for a second look at this one Ryan. Your passion for bush camping is great to see, those lions hunting near camp keep everyone on their toes. Great stuff.
Keep it up guys
Loving my country I just miss home while watching this as I'm in south Africa at the moment
Stunning episode. Cant wait for the next one!!
I grew up a few kilometers from the Antelope Park in Gweru. Amazing video and thank you for visiting Zimbabwe.
