[@jacksonmpoperi6153]

Thank you for showcasing my country in such positive light and happy that you guys enjoyed yourselves. I work an 8-5 job as a lawyer and I hope to also be able to travel and enjoy the outdoors more like you guys. Really enjoyed your video

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

It’s a pleasure Jackson and thank you so much for watching and commenting. I too am fortunate enough to work an 8 to 5 job which helps me pay for these sorts of trips. All the best and can’t wait to visit your country again

[@grahamhawkes7304]

Well done Bruce. Beautiful country and lovely friendly people. Nice to showcase a positive side of Zimbabwe. I love the way you are trying to answer and thank the people that comment. When your channel grows you are going to struggle to carry on doing that, but as a Zimbabwean living in S.A. I really appreciated all the memories this video has sparked of wonderful holidays spent with my parents touring round Zim.

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Thanks very much Graham. So glad you enjoyed it. I was very pleasantly surprised as the media had made have a totally different picture. Yeah I know I may struggle in the future but until then will try reply as I feel I have to try show my appreciation for the support. You need to go back there on holiday. Thanks very much for commenting and watching.

[@grahamhawkes7304]

Hey Bruce when your channel grows too big I will be more than happy to be your Editor in chief, come cook and chief bottle washer. I drive everyday round S.A. and love it when I get out of the city, but nothing beats being in the bush in Zim

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

@@grahamhawkes7304 hahaha thank you

[@rhodesia1578]

The one country that has so much to offer and see is Zimbabwe. Real bush and real wild raw nature as it should be . Chitake is wild and scary. The lions are savage and not to be taken lightly . Never venture at night . There is a tree with a plaque of the tourist who was taken by lions some years ago . But it’s an amazing place but has a unmistakable spooky feeling . Mana is another special place “ Garden of Eden I” I call it . A heavenly place with amazing light and unique trees and raw bush . No modern facilities like Kruger. This is what makes Mana , Chitake and Zimbabwe so different from anything you will find in Africa. My home , I have photographed and explored these areas many times over my lifetime. Thanks for supporting our country and giving it the credit it deserves. 👍👏👏🙏🏻

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

It’s my pleasure. I agree about the lions there and anywhere else for that matter. Always have an “escape plan” It truly is a spectacular country and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@rhodesia1578]

@@OverlandingwithBruce Tatenda ( means thank you ) Bruce the video was exceptional and really lekker . Hope the experiences you had and the message you put across to your audience changes peoples opinions of the country and it’s people . There is much more to see and explore in Zimbabwe . Please return again as I will be following your channel as it makes one appreciate life and nature so much more.,go well guys ! 🙏🏻

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

@@rhodesia1578 I do still remember some Shona but not much. Thank you for the complements and support shamwari 😀 I will hopefully be back very soon and can not wait to do a lot more exploring. I have a plan for an epic trip already. Hopefully early next year

Thank you for show casing Zimbabwe, my ‘home’, with such unexpected favour. Mana pools is an absolute treasure, Gods private garden. I have many happy memories of area, the wildlife, the scenery and ambience. Love the fact you can walk in most areas, except the ‘bad lands’ where a ranger is a must. Look forward to the next episode. Thanks again.

Thanks very much Revonia. Glad you enjoying it. I’m sure I can say this on their behalf as I don’t think they will see your comment but the three of us are very passionate about Southern Africa and we try and show that in our videos, so it’s so nice to get positive responses.

That was a lovely film, Bruce. Zimbabwe looks super, nice to see a part of the natural world I'll never be able to visit in person. Also great to see the new Defender in its natural habitat. 👍

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Hi Steve. Thank you for watching another episode. The new defender was an absolute pleasure in this trip. I hope that you do get an opportunity to visit Zim one day it truest is spectacular. All the best and thank you for the support

Wow! That's a lot of lions! Thanks for showing us this special habitat! Those of us in North America are pretty boring compared to what you're doing in your backyard! I've a '22 Defender like yours, but it doesn't get to do what its meant to do like yours!

[@victorchiwara1892]

you really did justice on this country, it kind is new to hear positive feedback esp. coming from a well traveled person like you. I enjoyed watching the places that i know very well , and they looked all new and perfect, kinda like introducing me to another Zimbabwe I have never seen. It really was pleasant to watch and you deserve a thumbs up and a sub.

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Thank you so much Victor for the awesome feedback. It’s not me but the people I encountered that deserve the credit for the positivity. Thank you for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoy the future episodes too.

Beautiful Zimbabwe.. Thank you brother

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

My pleasure sir and thank you for watching and commenting

[@creative_expressionproductions]

Bro this was an awesome watch!!! Thank you from a homesick zimbo! I was very facinated by the history lesson on those vicounts! I've driven past them dozens of times and always wondered about them. Very interesting to see that the aircraft was sporting bare polished aluminium when it flew for air Rhodesia. Possible 'camoflage' as the guerilla forces were in the habit of shooting down civilian aircraft at this time.

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Thanks very much Jason. I was very surprised with the history of them also. Found it a little sad to be honest. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Anyone wanring adventure try this route in the wet.

🥲ndatenda shua shamwari What a special trip down memory lane for me! I immigrated to BC Canada from Zim in 2000, went back briefly in 2005 and since been living in Canada with “another country in my eyes” as Mango Groove sings about. Brought tears as you drove across the Limpopo River (thanks for being sneaky 😉) and then just floods of memories in all senses as I relived Lion and Elephant, all the feelings of the drive. So beautifully put “moving art” and was such magic to be along in spirit as you ventured down the escarpment into the Zambezi valley. Hearing the lions reminded me of a trip my family and friends took to Tuli where there were lions around… was a bad idea for me to watch Ghost in the Darkness (movie about famous man eating lions) before the trip! 😅 Anyway cheers 🍻 to you Bruce and other travel mates and cheers to your wife 🍻 for approving the trip that created this video! ✨

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Thank you so much for watching Erin. I am so happy that it helped you with all those memories. My day has been made. Thank you also for taking the time to comment. Waita hako. Enda zvakanaka 😀
