Overlanding in Remote South Africa | It's Not Goodbye | XOVERLAND S6 EP10

Our trip through Southern Africa has been a trip of a lifetime, and it’s not over yet. We have over 1,000km to go before the end of the expedition, most of it on dirt.
The team begins their push through South Africa to explore local 4x4 trails and campsites. A local ECO Trail system is calling our name, but can the trucks and team make it through this remote part of the country?
This is just the beginning of our time in Africa.

One thing that stands out to me as I watch this series is that you can see how well these children are being raised. It stands out because it’s such a rare thing to see.

[@SizweMajola]

I was thoroughly inspired by all of this . . . they truly get to connect in ways unimaginable & share experiences the way it it was intended!

[@philanisiza]

@@SizweMajola mjolisto…long time bro

[@etienne_oosthuizen]

Steve I could not agree more, it does stand out!

[@OffTheBeatenTrackSA]

As a South African, this was an amazing series to watch, thank you guys !!!

[@LindaWongkee]

Thumbs up to Richard and Peter, amazing footage. And props to Ashley for the navigation, can’t imagine that responsibility. Beautiful series.

[@DeskToGlory]

Thank you so much! We had a blast!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

The dream team!

[@EFRT]

Thank you! I really enjoyed the experience and working with this awesome team.

[@travelwithfredcharlie8700]

I just binge-watched the entire season, and I’m blown away. As someone originally from Namibia and now living in South Africa, this resonated with me on so many levels. It wasn’t just the adventure that captivated me but also the genuine human connection. The way you reflect on your emotions, communicate, and raise your children is something truly special-something we don’t often see anymore. It was both heartwarming and inspiring.

[@Poloturbo77]

i'm from the cold one in quebec and felt the same. I guess someone can cheerish love for family for overlanding.

[@dougggiereid]

I have followed most, if not all, of your series and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I used to do many 4x4 trails and over landing trips with my family but alas no more. So following yours is somewhat nostalgic. As a South African, I had been to many of the places you went in this series and it was great to see them all again through your eyes. My very first overland trail was the Namaqua Eco trail. I did feel like pointing out some great places you missed on your route, but then there simply wasn't enough time to see everything. As mentioned in the episode it felt like you had a lot of time but you could have spent a year on this trip. Thank you so much for sharing all your trips with us. Wishing you safe travels back home and many more adventures.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you for joining us for another season!

[@RoamOverlanding]

I love it! You got to see one of my favourite places in the peak flower season, it looked like a dream! Thank you for visiting us, and sharing your passion and hardwork with us all! Keep it up! See you again soon!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

See you soon, Adrian!

[@4thGen4runner__]

The two major things Clay and Torfi said that stood out the most was when they mentioned Time. Bringing your kids with you and mentioning how time marches on with or without you, and how you think you have all this time but you really don't. That gave me goosebumps, brought tears to my eyes, as I have a 6 month old boy that I want to give him the life all the boys have. This has really pushed me to finish my overland build. I probably feel like Clay did in the beginning of XO. Financially is it smart to build an overlanding rig, God no, but it can it lead to the best experiences this world has to offer, yes. Clay, Rachelle, XO Team, be on the lookout for a serious 4th Gen 4runner build in the near future. Maybe a rig worthy enough to tag along with your team.

[@strokeguyoverland5060]

I know you guys hear this often , your films have made the overland community what it is today , thank you, as always very much enjoyed this series wonderful to see you incorporate the kids like you do.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Another Saffer here- I have fallen for you guys… love your channel, the team work, the attitude and pure positivity. Would love to meet you guys one day!

[@TwoFeetOutdoors]

I loved the boys describing "Overlanding". Made me smile.

[@erickmwendanjagi2465]

Africa episodes 1 to 10 just epic. Watched every episode. Learnt alot as I enjoyed much. Well knit family and I admire how you bring up your boys Clay.Well in.

[@ThemTokTV]

This is how I want to travel with my family and friends, especially my kids. This episode had my eyes watery. Great content....I will be amongst those who wait to see more of Africa from this channel. It good to see my own country and continent from an eye of a foreigner, makes me want to Get out and Go!!!!! I though the Nordic Series was the best, and now this. Behind my own back yard. Respect Mr. Croft and The Team.

[@s.tndhlovu5453]

Humble and interesting. May God the almighty bless this family with their endeavours, Amen.

[@lbaker_SA]

Proud South African moment, glad this trip was a success!

[@kippie1ful]

Return to Africa. South Africa, eSwatini, Lesotho. Brilliant!

Great ending to an amazing series. Thanks for taking us with you 🤙🏻

[@m3logistics]

Thank you for such memorable adventures - as a team you did a tremendous job and achieved your mission to reach Cape Agulhus - it is a beautiful place! Welcome back in Africa on your Autumn overlanding. Keep going and keep exploring, Joseph (Cape Town, South Africa).

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thanks, Joseph!

[@mwyo7282]

I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning. I have to say, wow, this was amazing. Really cool to see how far you have come and what you have accomplished. Truly inspiring!!!

[@dextiontour]

What a wonderful and amazing trip...enjoyed every single moment.

[@brendanfry8527]

Amazing content. Thank you for this great series.

[@user-dw4cv3xq5u]

Waiting to the last scene was definitely worth it! How exciting.

[@abdikadiradan1433]

Have watched all the episodes, very stocked for you guys ! Congratulations on coming out of this magical Expedition, It was beautiful! Enjoyed every bit it. Thank you!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thanks so much!

[@FilmsByVini]

This was such a great series, you guys did a great job capturing all the beauty Africa has to offer and the story telling was above all expectations! I was on the edge of my couch during the final clip of the video, excited for this Fall!

[@payasoPH]

that is one AWESOME adventure... AND that is one way to raise proper MEN .. Mr. Croft .. Looking forward again for another wild overlanding series .. Hat's off to all the crew on board this series ..

[@ExpeditionOverland]

It was AWESOME!

[@vonbiz525]

Absolute phenomenal job on this whole series. You guys raise the bar every time. Really enjoyed it and just incredible footage and story telling 💯💯

[@Maritimer]

Excellent series as always, it sure sucks to see it all end. The main thing I like in this one and even the last adventure was your kids being there with you. Both kids seem to be very self aware, intelligent and just good kids, I think that's a prop to their parents.... as a parent myself, I am trying to do the same with my children and hope to take them on adventures someday, maybe not quite this big but something along those lines haha thanks so much for sharing. Cheers from New Brunswick, Canada.

[@DH-ry2ho]

So impressed. Teamwork, mentorship, dealing with adversity. Thank you for inspiring us all!

[@MilanGP]

15 mins to go, already can’t wait for the next expedition. Hope Ryder and Eli will join the team again, loved seeing them for the first time this series. They should be on all future expeditions in my opinion 😁. Bring on XO Series 7 🙌🏻🙌🏻.

[@richardhickman8356]

Really enjoyed watching the series. Well done guys. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@WilEhlers-qq8qx]

Amazing expedition and well put together series. I put off watching the last episode for nearly a week… I didn’t want it to end . Pls come back and visit us in Hoedspruit and experience it’s amazing wildlife and parks.

[@davect01]

Took me a few times to finish watching, what an adventure and memories I appreciate this series is shiwing the big ups and big struggles of Overlanding See ya in the next adventure.

[@brucebeath9548]

Great series. Thank you all for sharing. From Cape Town South Africa.

[@joshgrami]

Great series, yet again! Your boys are mature beyond their years. I hope to raise my 3 sons as well as you have raised yours.

[@gee6559]

Very nicely done guys! As a South African, I thoroughly enjoyed the series. Clay, the relationship you have with your boys and the entire family dynamic you have is something special. Makes me look forward to starting my own family too one day. Thank you once again.

[@boblevesque650]

Love every minute of this. Great team, beautiful family. I hope the boys go each and every time.

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always XO Crew. This as been a of the most epic series in XO history and now it’s time to wait patiently for the return to Africa series in the Fall of this year. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you so much!

[@darrellcerna]

the ending brought me to tears. great season as always!

[@cherylbarns-y4m]

What a beautiful family and soul fulfilling adventure. The joy you experienced came thru loud and clear. How fortunate you are!!!!

[@lopi.T]

Team work make’s the dream work. Congrat’s that’s 💯 awesome. On to the next!

[@plmaokaneng]

This has really instilled in me the fire to see the areas around me. What I like the most is the simplicity in narration, clear to the point. It is just pure storytelling and very relatable and it makes us want to follow suit with the simplicity it shows yet immersing.

[@Zakayo]

Well done guys.! Welcome again to Africa especially east africa.

[@ferminesitainescaballero4235]

The truth is that this series has been spectacular, there are no words to express it. I loved how despite the time and fatigue you take the time to teach every detail to your children, God bless you and we hope to live more adventures with you.

[@karandakennedy]

Enjoyed watching every minute of this epic adventure🎉🎉. Please consider adding Zimbabwe to the list for the Return to Africa series.

[@kbjoash]

I came across an episode of this channel, I don't remember which one, BUT I have watched ALL AFRICA episodes after!!! Very well prepared, very informative, very family friendly, WE ALL WATCHED at home, VERY inspiring; I cannot wait a time I can train up my son like Croft's; THAT is how to raise young men! This channel is really everything OVERLAND EXPEDITION. I felt I was in the trip, and that is all a film should be. THANK YOU XOVERLAND! THANK YOU❤

[@kippie1ful]

I can't wait to have you back in Africa. Hope you get to experience more of our South Africa. There is just so much more to see. Such a plwasure to watch your videos. Thank You

[@Tawanda-g7s]

Great series. Well-done to the XO team❤

[@drup2013]

I by chance came across this channel while you were still waiting for the vehicles to arrive, followed and watched the whole journey. I have loved every video. As a novice overland i have learnt a lot from you guys especially how much preparation is needed, the teamwork needed to pull off such a big undertaking BUT what really stood for me is the talk between father and sons in Namibia on top of the mountains on the Van Zyl pass, that was absolutely heartwarming.. ❤️❤️

[@ellishaindobo1794]

Watched this series since episode 1, and as a Namibian, i cant wait to replicate the route you've just traversed. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@davidroyisaac3369]

Excellent series and enthralling.

[@wundarwunop9041]

@6:03 everytime you get like that just remember what your doing, it's not just about getting to the destination, its the journey that makes the memories. You're doing and seeing things most people can't.

[@thabomphuthi9739]

Of thing to take from these trip is, 7, 8,9 American perspective about Africa has shifted. One person at the time Fellow Africans

[@JustinStark-yw2cd]

Sitting here waiting with Coffee made Munches . Nice winters on its way here in Cape Town

[@douglassolomon4033]

😢.....spirit of a real team work what a motivation....

[@christiaanpretorius6221]

Just want to say. Your videography is worthy of the highest rewards. The way the comentary is done is just great , captivating, to say the least. Thankyou for visiting our beautiful country and igniting a spark in myself to get back out there and explore. We hope you will return in the years coming.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you, Christian! We absolutely loved our time here!

[@thierrybervoets3604]

Thank you for that beautiful Voyage. ❤

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[@louherring]

Team XO did it again! This was your best series yet. You sure taught the rest of us about the importance of the little things like extra bolts and washers and the importance of checking gear and not ignoring that bump and rattle that didn’t sound normal. Thank you for sharing your travels with us and for making us feel as if we were in the trucks with you. Can’t wait until your next adventure. Great job to everyone, especially the boys who really stepped up.

[@nealfarrell]

Thank you for visiting us in Southern Africa and South Africa. Looking forward to your return. More of Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique all await your return. Wonderful series. Thank you team X!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Deal! We can’t wait to return at some point to keep exploring!

[@paulsmit8147]

Awesome part of the country, glad you guys got to experience it, Karoo and West Coast, can never go wrong........👍 Cape Agulhas is about 350km from where i stay on the Garden Route..... On to the next one, thanks for the share 🇿🇦😎🤙

[@JNDLZ06]

Wow, another series complete! I can't wait for the return.

[@nickseils8193]

Wow. Y'all are so talented and fun. This is the most incredible Channel in the World. Congrats team!

[@DefiantOffroad]

Glad to see that you guys had a successful conclusion to the trip. I really enjoyed coming along vicariously! I'm always going to be partial to the "Return to the Mackenzie" series, but man, this one was pretty freaking good!

[@charlesdutoit3987]

Also as a South African watching this series was Absolutely great and Extremely entertaining! Watching you guys cook on the fire....well, was very very interesting 😅, you were fir sure becoming a little Africanised towards the end! Great Great Job, well done guys!!! ❤😂

[@tomahawkshorthaul]

Epic! In the true sense of the word. Epic!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Totally agree!

[@Shaddykaelo]

This is incredible. I want to thank you for making me explore the world through you guys. I have always watched all your episodes and to be honest, you are the best expedition overland group ever. I am eagerly waiting for the next series. much respect. Thank you for visiting my continent Africa.

[@bobby_d_1265]

Peter's hats were epic. One has seen every corner of the globe. The other was just plain cool.

[@ExperienceWildAfrica]

I, for one, am super happy to see you going to have more adventures in Southern Africa soon! Looking forward to it! Quick question: What about a "meet-up" next time you here for all the fans and admirers?? We can make it a Weekend Camping location somewhere.... (Not sure if we have big enough for all your fans though ;-)) Cheers

[@thomasthompson6786]

This was the best season that X overland has shown. Job well done! Can’t wait for then next season!!

[@chubsmash7602]

Great Season, awesome team and well narrated expedition. The last 10 minutes was truly emotional. Thank You Guys!

It works every time… watching your series always helps me remember to live in the present. Thanks again.

[@MrBobconner1952]

Another incredible trip you guys. Love your journeys, keeper comin'

[@campridego]

What an awesome adventure to follow, in my own back yard. Can't wait to see the next part of your trip in Africa. Congrats and well done to the whole team for organizing another epic trip. It's adventures like these that make me super grateful to live in one of the most beautiful countries on Earth.

[@stevetarrantwheelygoodmovi9113]

Another fantastic series of films. As a wheelchair user, I know what you are doing is near impossible for me, even for the petrolhead that I am, but am loving seeing what you do and how you go about doing it. Living every step through your eyes and those of your cinematographers. Now looking forward to your next series.

[@shanejpt]

Top notch series, again.

[@NeilHarrower]

The first part of your trail went through a region known as the Richtersveld, which is a truly incredible part of the world. It's a biodiversity hotspot with around 30% of the plant species being endemic to that region. Next time you can consider going slightly further North into the Richtersveld National Park - the scenes there are truly spectacular, and it's accessible to 4WD vehicles only.

[@DawidNaudeIrishSettler]

Kudos 👏 for that last BRAAI, as a fellow South African, y'all did a PERFEKTE BRAAI...😂👌🤠🫶

[@grahamwood9842]

[@rajeshramkawal8266]

[@craigmitchell905]

[@darrenleroux2034]

Amazing series, would love to see more of Africa. It is so vast, remote, wild and ripe for adventures!

[@markmorris4083]

Getting to see the Namaqua Eco trail and that part of the country so green is very rare. Some of those areas did not see rain in more than a decade. Amazing footage and story telling.

[@neilond1]

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Kudos to all involved, it was a very good series, production was on point the story telling made me feel included in this trip, and the best thing about it, it makes me wanna do it. Fantastic job! Funny how I stumbled across after trying to find the build for your 100 series LC for some inspiration. Keep up the good work.

[@christophersaul]

Fantastic series, beautifully filmed. Love the family aspect. What a great experience for your boys to be part of. And yes, working AC next time 😂

[@ExpeditionOverland]

AC would have been a game changer! Whew!

[@robertshapter2852]

Thanks for sharing your amazing adventure. Loved you all working as a team, the scenery and everyone sharing their thoughts. You all learn and experience so much, your boys are absorbing all you have taught them, so good to see. I'll be looking forward to your next adventure. Thanks again for sharing.
