[@Dj-TinTin]

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Bruce for Rackets,tennis balls,soccer balls and not forgetting the smiles you brought us here in Zvimba, Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe. This episode will go down the memory lane and thank you so much once again

Thanks for sharing Bruce. Great to see such happy kids, very heartwarming. One of the many things I miss about Zim are the friendly people.

This has instantly become my favourite overlanding channel. I came across your youtube link on the 4x4 community page. I drive an Amarok 132kW 4x2 D/C and God willing once I can afford a good 4x4, I definitely want to start my overlanding journey. My wife is from Bulawayo and we thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Keep up the awesome content!

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Use the Amarok. They are great vehicles and will get you just about everywhere I have been on all my trips. Only places you may have problems is some of the river crossings where there was deep sand. Thank you so much for your support and please send my regards to your wife.

[@mnp3713]

Man, I am back to watch this for the 4th time. Something about this video that brings tears to my eyes. That Drummond ranch at the beginning is absolutely magical. You captured it well Bruce. I like what the owners have done to the place. Such citizens in a country like our Zim are a treasure. They do so much to protect the natural beauty of our country. Well done to them.

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Thanks so much Raymond. I will forever wonder and think about these children and where they end up. At the very least at least there is a bit of excitement and happiness and hopefully will bring the communities together for a soccer match or two also.

Lived in Kwekwe in the early 90s. I was hardly 10 but I remember many a number of fishing trips to Sebakwe with my dad and brothers. Passed through Kwekwe with my own kids and took them to the house where I grew up. Will certainly take my boys to Sebakwe for fishing in the near future!

Ū really are chasing smiles 😊 Bruce!! coz half way through the video I was smiling_-_ 😁kk. What an adventure Bruce u never disappoint 😛. Yah Zimbabwe is now focusing on conservancy n I think 💬 this is going to benefit the country economically through "tourists"--....👍👍to the Drummond farm team, and the near conservancies e.g. Bubye valley conservancy 🐆🦛🦁🦓. I like the fact tt u took the adventure route from West Nicholson touching Zvishavane road 🛣️ dodging the tarred road passing thru Gwanda and Mbalabala towns. Spectacular scenery throughout the 🛣️ 👍👍... I am just short of words this is so epic Bruce. U are living 🤩👍 Thank u for the donation God 🙏 bless. Waiting for the next episode n I'm certain tt it will leave a smile 😊 on my face again. #Chasingsmiles!!!

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Thank you Vanessa. I’m so sorry to hear about your ordeal but I would like to say these terrible things happen everywhere and no that doesn’t excuse it at all but please don’t hold everyone in Zimbabwe responsible. I also believe that those that did this to you were will pay one day as the wheel of justice always turns eventually. Thank you for your very kind message and I wish you all the best with the healing process.

[@robbieweich5169]

Just awesome video Bruce and an amazing initiative. Sitting here in London (I’m from CT) and thinking how you can expand Chasing Smiles. I’ve always thought of going around collecting my sons’ and his friends football shirts (sorry, can’t bring myself to calling it soccer 😂) and getting these down to you to hand out to the kids in Botswana, Zim and SA. I see the kids here go through brand new premier league jerseys every season and growing out of them so I think a well planned collection drive here can bring in hundreds of awesome quality original Nike, Adidas, Puma etc shirts… I’m going to see what can be done !! Following all your adventures already! Will revert

Hey Bruce, Neil from Gold Coast Queensland Aus, grew up in Bulawayo a Hamilton Old Boy, came to Aus in 1969 . Love your videos although making me homesick. I am like you as far as height goes, my knees “ tune tilt” lol 😂 Keep up the good work.

Did you smell the morning air rising from the dam water early in the morning , particularly like the afternoon breeze from the dam where i come from in Zimbabwe we dont have water bodies to explore like what i see here i last had the experience at Mazvikadei dam and Masiye Camp dam south of Matopos thats where i learnt how to row a boat canoe on my own as part of resilience training from our NGO way back 2004

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

That’s awesome memories. You need to revisit those places. Thank you for watching
