Overlanding Zimbabwe | Land Rover Defender 110 Camper

After a month of enjoying the coast of Mozambique we are back on the road.
We loved our time in Mozambique but we are looking forward to hitting the road again and continuing our adventure across Africa in our Land Rover Defender 110 Camper.
In today’s video we will be crossing the border from Mozambique to Zimbabwe, that’s right, overlanding not just one but two countries.
Stay tuned for some gnarly off-roading, remote wild camping spots, campfire cooking, a visit to a luxury safari lodge, a special guest and some incredible wildlife sighting. It’s going to be a good one!
We hope you guys enjoy this video. If you did make sure you give this video a like, leave us a comment and subscribe to our channel.

Yet another great episode. Flavia,was great. I reckon if you changed Rodney's name to Rodders, he'll stsrt catching some fish 😉

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thanks so much! She sure is. Haha maybe we should try that next time 😂🙌

[@MikeLangfordGoogle]

If Rodders doesn't work maybe try Stewart??

[@coadyg]

That leopard sighting was amazing.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

It really was Chloe spotted it in a tree still no idea how to this day!

[@cyborgsurgeon]

😅i live right next door to that Farm House in Chimanimani. Would've loved to see you guys but hope you are enjoying Zim . Great stuff alwaysg❤❤

[@TheLandyExpedition]

No way! Next time!

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy and what a trip! “Not ideal for fishing” Harry says…. Maybe because the crocs ate all the fish? Ha ha😮 thanks for sharing! Saddle up!

[@TheLandyExpedition]

What a trip indeed! Haha that could well be the case!!😅

[@coadyg]

Gonarezhou is a hidden gem amazing scenery and well managed reserve.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

It’s beautiful!

[@TobyFinkNottle]

What a fantastic trip you guys are having. There’s a new lightness to your videos. Or am I just imagining that.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

What do you mean by lightness? 😀

[@TobyFinkNottle]

a certain ease and happiness - and that doesn’t mean that it was laboured and depressing before ;)

[@MorningNapalm]

I don't know about lightness, but you seem more relaxed, and just more at ease with making and editing the video.

[@harryshipton6873]

Loved this time with flavs 🎉

Always great watching your adventure

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Glad to hear this!

[@stevestott1514]

As always another enjoyable video in a beautiful countryside area . And wow the wild life was awesome , the Leopard was soooooo awesome to see . And looked like you all had a great time together , is always great when over landing to have friends or family tag along for the adventure . And doing it in a landy makes it even more adventuresome . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) :) 🎣😎🌍🍻😁👍🏼🐆🐘

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you Steve! It was a very special leopard sighting. The park was so quiet that we were the only vehicle there with the leopard which is incredible rare! Flavia is just amazing, we still speak to her most days now. Stay tuned for some more overlanding friends and family who’ll be joining us ☺️🙌

[@stevestott1514]

@@TheLandyExpedition .. looking forward to it 🍻😁👍🏼

[@fungaimagumise4360]

Brilliant work, this is proper vlogging....❤❤❤

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Ah thanks so much!

[@matsolothabiso7687]

Please Go to Hwange Main Camp. :-) superb content.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thanks for the recommendation! 🙌

[@israel1331]

I enjoyed your trip, it's so amazing please i wish to see you in Serengeti and ngorongoro and maasai mara

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you ☺️

[@hughbatchelor8599]

Hi Guys... I hope you did Bridal Vale Falls when you were there before? Did you do any hikes into the Chimanimani Mountains themselves? Glad you're enjoying my old stomping ground.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Yes we did. We have a video on our channel of an amazing hike we did in Chimanimani and also visiting Bridal Veil Falls ☺️

[@hughbatchelor8599]

Ah, well done. Probably some of the best places to be in the world and largely unspoilt too. God Bless you. H

[@retnav92]

Another good episode👍. How well are your Petromax plates and bowls holding up to everyday use? I ord'd some for my weekend campouts, but haven't had a chance yet to use them.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you! They are doing great. They still look new. The great think about enamel products is that they clean up so well. Our Petromax enamel sauce pan has been used in the fire and has been totally black, we’ve always managed to easily clean it up and it looks good as new again! Great products ☺️🙌

[@retnav92]

@@TheLandyExpedition Thank you for the info on the Petromax. I'm glad to hear my $$ was well spent, plus, they just look better than paper plates. 😎👍

[@johns3871]

My wife and I love your show. I'm asking both of you, that when you have your Pro Go showing us a place behind you, not to move from side to side as it gives us motion sickness, as well as when panning with your camera. Pan slower. Thank you for sharing your story. Are you going to Kruger at some point? XXX

[@TheLandyExpedition]

That’s great to hear! Thank you.☺️ We’ll work on that. By Pro Go do you mean a Go Pro? We probably won’t be in Kruger on this trip but we have plans to visit South Africa again in the future so I’m sure we’ll be there at some point ☺️

Hi, loved this video. We are making the trip to Gonarezhou via Paffuri soon. I was wondering what permits if any did you need to take your drone into Zim and Gonarezhou? Everyone seems to have a different opinion... looking forward to your next video 😊

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thanks so much! We didn’t need to do anything to take the drone into Zim, well no one at the border said anything to us anyway. We didn’t fly our drone in the national park we flew it over the Chilo Lodge, which is not in the national park. You can buy permit for national parks but we have never done so. You’d have to research this for each park you wish to take your drone into. Sorry we can’t be more help!☺️

[@ClaireBesterBodyHaven]

Thank you for your reply. I hope you are having a wonderful time. Maybe we will see you on the road sometime. all the best. I will go and do some more research now. C@@TheLandyExpedition

[@joannebedford2695]

You need some worms or fish as bait or a bit of red meat bro

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Yes we do!!

[@markyeadon7271]
