We take on a 4 day 500km 4x4 offroad track from Namibe Angola to Ruacana Namibia Africa - in 2 days
While overlanding through Angola, we came across a 4x4 only road through Iona National Park and just had to do it. It should take 4-5 days minimum to complete, we had two. That wasn't going to stop us, after all, we were driving a Landrover Defender, what could go wrong?
Watch the video as we drive the route through the park and traditional Himba villages. - This is overlanding at it's best.

A Tuk-Tuk ride to see Dar es Salaam at night in East Africa's Tanzania (and saving $30 on a taxi)
มุมมอง 76ปีที่แล้ว
I needed to get from Dar Es Salaam airport to a bus pick up point to take a bus to Tanga on the Northern Tanzanian coast. Instead of paying $30-$35 for a metered taxi for this, I decided to do what the locals do and take a Tuk-Tuk for around $2.5 and it was so much more fun.

An adventure in the Namibia's Namib Desert.

Road trips aren't just about the drive - it's also about what you do along the way and when you get there. Here we get some soul therapy as we travel to the Namib Desert around Swakpopmund, Namibia. Where I have fun with Taylor Botha and Luke Smith (featured) as we explore abandoned mining towns, quad bike in the dunes, dune boarding down them on a piece of wood and I get back on the seat of a ...

Beautiful cars,great resto
神よ、この地に樹木と大きな水場と川をお授け下さい‼️
It is desert land, it is supposed to be like that, it is the way God made it. There are big rivers to the North, East and South.
Hi!! Great video and a great adventure. I’m into doing this track, where can I find this exact track you did? Do you have it on gps or Wikiloc or something? Thanks for the video
Hi I don't have it in either of those. It is in the Tracks 4 Africa map book and on the gps app. Ioverlander also have it.

""Was their +-20y ago a lovely place. ♥️👍👌
You Smurfs are cute and I love the car. I have a 52 Mark Vii in a slow motion restoration. My husband assures me that he will finish it, but the moderns are keeping him too busy. Yours is very pretty.❤
Great cars, underated we had a 54 model for 19yrs. Overdrive would have been useful. 3.4litre is very long lasting providing oil & coolant are maintained. most mechanical parts similar to XK120. Good to see you using the car as they were meant to be despite restored condition. Mike from Western Australia
I'm speachless!
Im currently restoring a 1980 Austin Morris Sherpa Autosleeper, good luck with it, the struggle is real.
Mercedes Benz took BMW to court and withdrawn after a week of first being aired. BMW, though, got something through. 32 years later still remembered. Comparative advertising is illegal in South Africa.
Everyone tells this story in South Africa so I guess that week was worth it.

Only 46 people have liked this video so far...at least you got 2 more than 44😆 Was it the 44 Afrikaners plus you 2 English guys?🤣🤣🤣
well add yours than there will be three of us
Sommer bakgat, dankie! The whole of southern Namibia can be some super national park, it's that awesome...
So will this car officials be a 2022 model ??
no, it is registered in 2022 as a 1964 model.
Interesting that one of the two E-types was apparently a clone of the original at some point….(?) 🤔
Not in this case, there's a Nissan with the same chassis number as this E-type. There was a range of Nissan numbers in the 80's which were the same as 3.8 S1 E-types from the 60's!
@@Allrand319 Oh dear! ( I guess it’s too much to expect the data bank operators to put either a J or an N in front of the numbers, far too simple probably! ) 🤣😂 kind regards.
Well done Randall. What a beaut.
This is a kewl video. Loved the road trip Awesome cars and story is told is a really easy and yet interesting way👍
thank you for that feedback, it was an awesome trip
Hello! My memories of SA back in the late 70s are still very dear to me. What is the Rand to U.K. pound exchange rate at the moment please? Good health to you all.🙏
Around ZAR22 to a Pound.
Awesome vlog
thank you
"The Authorities:" largest stumbling block to any fun activity. Mostly staffed by the dumb who couldn't work on the open market.
Looks like Colorado to me =)
Yeah Pasha, SA has a huge diversity in landscape and environment, lots of it looks like lots of the US's diversity in landscape and environment. We pretty much just have different animals roaming around. In saying that, I think both countries have stuff to offer that the other doesn't.
I use to own 855130, a 1961 E-Type Coupe....... loved it. Your car is beautiful.......
Sorry that that's in the past tense Bryant.
What a great job.
still believe the hardtop is so mach better looking than the roadster.
The coupe was dearer than the drophead when new
@@mrjohncharlesbrown and now, it's the convertibles that are more expensive.
the Sherpa looks awesome! Can't wait to see it on the road.
Ridiculous
exactly - in all contexts
I love how Charlize knows how to get under the dutchmen's skin which is quite task considering how thick their skins are.
Well done to Megan Cilliers for winning the stay at Bramasole. Thank you to all those who entered and watched this video
Bedford!
no Leyland Sherpa
You're a proper nutter.

Brilliant Take care towing Boet. She looks heavy. And if you taking the N3 take care on the passes it's crazy.
Big ups Rob! Loved this so much
40 year old restoration ??? It’s still sounds like a tractor. What’s wrong with it now. What have you actually done to restore it.
Well Russ, besides being slightly tappety, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and she sounds just like she should but then maybe you're not familiar with series one E-Types. The original moss gearbox (if you know what that is) is still installed which creates that whine sound, as they did when new due to not having any synchromesh on first. Watch this slideshow of the full restoration to see how little was done to the car over the last 40 years. studio.th-cam.com/users/video7LTYuqUCtSE/edit
My God man, look at the restoration slideshow.

1st gear is a straight cut gear not a helical cut gear.
The value is in the originality. Particularly the Mk1 cars as these are the most sought after. This car is worth a fortune. 🇬🇧
Lekker koekoes julle! Maar goeie sin vir humor, souties!
Julle souties probeer darem.
Am an English speaking SA and I Love Afrikaans it is one of the most beautiful languages in the world 🌎
This is the best thing I’ve seen today!! 😂👍🏻
No Sherpa???
not yet, one day when I actually go home, I will continue on that, or at least give an update on where it is at. I've did a lot to it earlier in the year.
I believe I've been for a ride in that car, back in the day!
Feels nice and solid? Runs like a bag of knickers! Cams/tappets, gearbox & differencal fcuked mate!! No wonder you didn't have to bribe, they'd should have paid you to get the fn thing off site!! Top tip fellars, stop working on cars or anything that relies on hearing because obviously you're both tone deaf and thick as f××k!!🤪😂😂
I laugh at your comment. Go do some research on what a gearbox that doesn't have synchromesh on first sounds like. Thanks for your comment, although stupid, it helps with video distribution.
Sadly there are corrupt cops everywhere including SA, Hats off to you guys, I expect that will be a "real life experience story" for the rest of Flo's life, scary but at least it ended OK. Nothing like experiencing it in the raw! I hope and pray this is the last time you meet a corrupt cop trying to get a bribe or anything else.
All you need( and got) is a few Hardidah, to know you are really in Africa.
That was a grand drive out, its encouraging and nice to see the tar roads in good condition!
Such a nice story and amazing cars, thanks for posting from Switzerland
Lovely! 🥰
You mist the old cars in omaruru.
A reason to go back. I am heading to Swakopmund this weekend. Maybe can head that way to see what you are referring to.
A correction note. In the video I say the Jag is 61 years old. It is in fact 71 years old - never missed a beat.
Geetings- superb ,👏
thank you
Incredible views of the dessert! Amazing! Never knew that horses lived in sandy environments like that!
Thank you for your feedback. No one knows the exact history of these horses, they are protected in a reserve with other wildlife. They are not really from there though. Speculation is they were released from nearby mining towns when they were abandoned in the early 20th century. The marvel is that they do survive. They are monitored by wildlife vets and are said to be perfectly healthy. There numbers have increased over time and at the moment there are around 600 of them.
@@ridiculousroadtrips That is fascinating!
Hello Flo. I have no sound. Is this just.me?
