Overlanding Zimbabwe | Ep 4 | Gonarezhou "an African Outdoor Gem" - Camping in Africa 4x4

In the finale of our Gonarezhou series we spend some amazing time at Chitove Campsite ) I think it is the best campsite in the world).
We see the Chilojo Cliffs and have a bucket list sighting at Directors camp with Elephants walking through the river bed and the cliffs in the background!
An Africa Overlanding Adventure doesn't get much better than this!
Zimbabwe is an amazing country and we cannot wait to explore it even more!
Our 79 series Landcruiser is still in our opinion the perfect overlanding vehicle and we don't regret our choice for a second! Adding the Bushtech canopy just took the entire rig to whole new level!
Big thanks to every member on this trip - It was one we will never forget!

Good video although sad to see all those tyre tracks in the riverbed, spoilt a great areil shot, it's a pity after management put I'm the effort and some basic rules that others dont respect and speed, don't stick to the basic tracks, wonder what it'll look like in 5 years time

[@GunnlandExplores]

Hi Rodney, thanks for watching man!! Overall in the park we didn’t see much tracks other than areas where you can’t stay on the main road - trees etc in the way. The park has a 40km/h speed limit which I don’t really think can be broken much, the roads are 90% not doable at speeds above that. I think the park is going to be excellent in 5 years!! At the water crossings there are sections where groups stop to get out etc but that is pretty minimal 😊

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Beautiful stuff..... I like your style of presentation.... It's genuine.... Happy birthday boet... Please delete the music

[@GunnlandExplores]

Thanks mate!! Appreciate it!! We will be concentrating a bit harder on sound while recording - at the moment it’s just some random chatting etc so need to use some music still 😉

[@chrisgrobler4882]

Hi guys, wat a awesome video thank you. It sure is a beautiful Gem Park, this is our homeland area. My late dad has been going to gonas for over 40 years an I have been for about 30 years. My dad started Directors Camp. Chitove has always been his favorite camp especially for the fishing. Chipinda Pools camp 8 has been our favorite camp for 1 night camping on weekends, since we lived in chiredzi it would take us 1hr an we in the bush. Did you manage to visit Tambwahata an Muchaniwa pan's, elephants for Africa in that area. Any way thanks for this beautiful video an for showing other overlanders this beautiful park which is waiting for them. I miss this park an its bush 😪, we have since moved to Rwanda, but next chance I get to come home this is the place I will be visiting. Once again many thanks xx

[@davidkelroe-cooke4766]

Great trip! I am definitely inspired to go soon. I tow an off-road trailer, what are your thoughts towing in Gonarezhou?

[@veraperfors9459]

What an awesome video and some great footage, but it is spoilt with the choice of music that does not suit the setting and it was soooo loud. Your videos are so cool, but please chose music more suitable and note the loudness. Sorry but the music really spoilt your video for me.

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Yes I too don't like the kinky music

[@KradenkoZA]

Great video as always! Quick question what is the small light on the foot piece of your Frontrunner? How do you find it for lighting in the camp at night?

[@riemdebeer6544]

Great footage! Thanks for sharing. Did you really need a drone permit for Zim and where did you get it?

[@GunnlandExplores]

Technically if you ever fly a drone you need a permit - in Zim you get a letter from CAAZ (Civil Aviation Authority of Zim) - in parks it goes even further and this might really have been my one shot, National Parks are very very hesitant to give permission You should be okay getting a fee shots in Zim but not in the National Parks (big trouble if they catch you)

[@ncubesays]

Can't get over the elephants crossing the river at 18:47. Stunning!!

Please let me know where the dead tree came from at Directors Camp. The video shows it burning at your camp fire?

[@GunnlandExplores]

Kelvin Weare Hi Kelvin, just to clarify from our side.. When we got to Directors camp the stump was half burnt at that location with the ashes on the floor so we decided to make our fire in the same spot. It was not moved there by us. To be quite honest the thought didn’t even cross our minds at the moment but agree that no wood should be used that is in the park. I state numerous times that wood is available in the park with the price and my recommendation of not taking your own wood and buying directly from the park. All our firewood was bought from the park, in some of the episodes we even show that. Sorry for the confusion, should maybe have thought twice about using that footage because that is definitely not something we would even like to accidentally portray as acceptable. Hope that puts you at ease 🙂 We think very highly of the Park as I’m sure is clear from all the episodes - we wouldn’t go against the rules of any national park.
