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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@erickmwendanjagi2465]

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

[@CafeteroTouring]

This was the best series by far. Top notch. Congratulations y’all!

[@geoffsperring4372]

I really enjoyed this series, so happy that you got Africa in your blood.

[@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.

[@lbaker_SA]

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

[@JustinStark-yw2cd]

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

[@bevanpope7924]

On the subject of taking pics; the orange of your beard, your X logo and the lichen on the rocks at Cape Agulhas was brilliant. Glad you guys eventually made it to my front yard! Much love, Bevan from Hermanus

[@BoerseunRobert]

As a South African living in Australia, all I can say is that I miss my country!!

[@louiebodenstaff6772]

Simply brilliant, an inspiration for us all, greetings from South Africa!!!

I have watched you Guy's & Girls Travel the world Overlanding what a awesome experience and comming to Africa, experiencing the Braai .

[@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.

[@user-dw4cv3xq5u]

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

[@payasoPH]

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.

[@shanejpt]

Top notch series, again.

[@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.

[@karandakennedy]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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❤

[@thierrybervoets3604]

Thank you for that beautiful Voyage. ❤

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[@nickseils8193]

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

[@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.

[@ellishaindobo1794]

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

[@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!

Thanks for making this content - really enjoyed it.

[@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.

[@kallire4928]

This is amazing , it was so cool and now i got a new thing to dream of . cant wait for the next adenture

[@chubsmash7602]

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

[@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

[@bonganidiegokaunda542]
