  • We set off in the rain on our annual holiday, this is the first time in 6 months that Natalie and I have had the chance to go on a trip together! We head to the town of Barberton, where we began our journey to the Kingdom of Eswatini border, but the road there would be an incredible journey through epic mountains along the Genesis Route Geo Trail. Beautiful scenery all around. We make our way into Eswatini too make camp at Mthunzi River Camp for our first night of camping. But Obviously I forgot something important, as usual.

    This is such a great series.
    I own a Suzuki Samurai and one day I'll do something like you do with my Samurai.
    It will certainly not be comfortable or done fast but it will be an epic adventure and I'm very much looking forward to it.

    G'day Adrian. I am a new subscriber from Gold Coast Australia.
    I love your videos and what comes through clearly, apart form enjoyment with what you are doing and a good skill set, is a great deal of commonsense (a rare commodity these days) in everything you do regarding Jimny modifications, choice of roof rack, tents etc and where you take it.
    It was also nice to see you take the trouble to take Natalie to a 4WD "school" and give her a new set of skills.
    Thank you again and happy travels to you both.

    For the European market.. with a small displacement turbodiesel engine like the Renault K9K of the previous generation, and perhaps an automatic transmission - great for rock crawling - even a simple 4-speed one would do, would be a winner!!
