As a Kenyan, when I hear of places like South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe etc., they seem like very far off and unreachable places especially on road. But when I see a video like this, it proves to me that the world is a very small place and everything is possible.
Best Daring abroad i've ever seen. I'm planning a road trip from Nairobi to Dar es salaam to Lusaka to Lilongwe in Malawi. Pray for me to go and come back safely🙏
I know Joel very well...He's a very hardworking gentleman. I have lived and worked in Gaborone, Botswana for over 10 years. Since 2007. Most Kenyans with 'mizigos' to send back home to their relatives use this guy...he's convenient and trustworthy.
Am watching this video for the fifth time..from Uganda Very much interested in road trips. Chamwada I admire your free flow onset. Joel I will look for you soon.
Inter-country commerce and the possibilities of Africa are on full display here. I wish African leaders would champion a more integrated economic strategy and policy for the entire continent. Thanks Chams Media for such good work. And for adding a road trip to my long bucket list.
What a nice documentary. I drive from Johannesburg to Nairobi quite often. There are some challenges emanating from narrow roads, unnecessarily delays at the borders and the worst of it is the theft from pickups and trucks in some parts of Zambia and more specifically between the towns of Kafue and Choma. If it happens you are driving that stretch of 250 Km in the evening or at night you should avoid stopping if possible and be very vigilant. Otherwise it a nice and very tiring adventure and especially when you are a sole driver.
Just love what I am seeing on this video, I am from Nigeria and I have travelled all over Europe while driving by road. I see it's a great experience. I just hope one day I can have this same experience in African countries. Just love this adventure
@Thabo Sethipa you are such an idiot and a disgusting son of bitch for making such a comment. Your comments showed your levels of how shallow minded you are, it's a pity.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Blaze Marshall I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Eee mwanaume anajenga ngorofa sonko anabomoa baada ya hiyo safari. Kikuyus are like water floods. They have gone every part of the world. And they settle where they go. God bless work of their hands.
KIKUYU'S ARE EQUALLY VERY CORRUPT IMPUNITY DEVILS >> They have messed Kenya indeed that is why they are running away to well run stable countries like Botswana. I hope they don't take their bad thievery nature to those nations..
Having done this trip close to 8 times... It never gets old !!! We did Nairobi Kenya to Durban South Africa using the same route and the Zimbabwe Harare route
Hongera chamwada for showing us how far one can go to make it in life....I don't care if he sells at 1000% profit ...all I know is that wachira works goes the extra mile(literally)for it....proud to be kikuyu and Kenyan...
I really love this video. I am doing a similar trip, from London through Europe then Morocco and drive south along West Africa coast to Gabon. I will be departing London in a few weeks time
Fred Kosgey My friend, I in New York and London I currently travel between them and Africa is a lot more safer than these countries, so I am going to disagree with that comment sir
I Did this road trip in July last year. We were with my nine and eleven year old sons. From Lesotho, South Africa Botswana Zambia Tanzania and Namanga Kenya. Seven days 5000km. It was fun meeting different people. I must say all the people in different countries were very friendly. But after entering my country Kenya, trouble started. Anyway, I finally managed registering my car in Kenya.
Agreed. He should have taken a detour in Livingstone. Beautiful Mosi-oa-Tunya falls. Or get to Kazungula via Victoria Falls Town in Zimbabwe. Africa is beautiful.
@@johnweru We will do more..It is the nature of Daring Abroad. It is just 12 minutes. But we are working on longer versions for another program. Have you used this route as well?
So adventurers,you remind me of my trip to Joburg some years back.i used same route. watu watembee ....ALEX TRY THE ROUTE FROM JOZI/jo'burg TO RABAT MOROCCO its more marvelous than NRB TO Gaborone. (cover 7,300 miles or 11000 km and dare abroad.)
Hats off to Joel! Driving all those kilometers in a Hiace like a boss! Only driven from Juba to Nairobi in a Voxy and its an experience that I wouldn’t like to re-live.
Like i said and I'll say again kenyans need to travel to appreciate their own country. Kenya has better road network by far far only now is Ethiopia catching up no other country except s.a can match Kenya.
@@Chwamwada Chams,you also need to highlight that you need local currency of all the countries you transit in order to buy food, and pay tariffs. USD's only get accepted in well established outlets.
Indeed a beautiful & worthy documentary of a road trip.. I'm planning a road trip from Nbi Kenya to Lusaka Zambia & i will appreciate the best road planner guide..
An interesting Journey, more so the daring Kenyan Spirit, I am inspired by Mr Joel Wachira. This trip is a bucket list item. Chams, keep doing the good work, bringing us unique content while traveling the world.....Passion Passion Passion....
Thanks for the video story. I did this trip to & from Gaborone to Nairobi in the same type of van as a paying passenger. Unfortunately I cannot recall if it was the same driver in the video. What a long trip but at the same time it was an adventure.
This is very interesting. Those goods must be very expensive there. And fuel is very cheap in Botswana, Botswana has always been my favorite country in Africa to visit.
This is a very beautiful clip. There is just one problem. It is just too too short for a journey of this magnitude.I wish it was long so that we who want to travel this journey at some point in our lifetime can really appreciate and marvel at the sights and sounds of all the various places and countries the team passes through. It has me yearning for more visuals. As an African from Botswana I have always wished to travel to either Tanzania or Kenya by road and this provides just a small glimpse of what to expect. WOW!!!
This video is definitely too short. Five or ten or fifteen minutes more would have been good. Ah well maybe the TH-camr can upload another video a sequel to this video ? Let's see what happens ! If anyone has not been on any Africa Road Trip - then they need to watch the video and see and enjoy the raw beauty of Africa.
@@awaconawacon7533 just too many. and if your car has foreign registration you will be stopped are every police stop. they spend another 20-30 min asking you same questions and inspecting same documents and looking for every excuse to slap you with a fine. a very exhausting experience
I have taken this road trip thrice, with 2 detours to Victoria falIs. The first one to Botswana, the second to Zimbabwe and the third to Lilwongwe in Malawi. Fun,fun and more fun.
Wow! That might be the most well kept stretch of road in the entire African continent. The van stayed on asphalt from start to finish. That's rarely the case, especial in the western part of the continent. By African standards, that's a super highway.
we bana tukishikana wase watano watano 2 nisans hatuwezi fika ?this so nice road trip unakaa ndee kila holiday ati mashamba wala mombasa get out of kenya tutazame ya injee,,nani ako na roho tufike?
I remember doing his route back in 2010 from Lesotho to Mombasa. Zambia has really bad roads... I 'm about to do another trip from Vancouver Canada to Nova Scotia Canada 8000km
Wow ... And there I was always thinking that only trucks make those long hauls... Wow, even "malaicha" guys run that route too! 🙏🏾💯👌🏾 Respect! I'd love to do this with my wife.

Well done Joel Wachira. an ordinary man doing extra ordinary stuff. All the best.
Good job Alex Chamwada.
Determination... you are welcome to Botswana 🇧🇼 !
Botswana looks organised
I can imagine driving that far to find out the products was stolen. God bless your hard work and keep you safe on the road brother
Thanks chamwanda for taking us through the trip.... N Joel we much proud of your work... Ain't a joke to drive all the miles...
The only problem with this video was the length... too short!
ahahaaha...that because they have to sleep also
very true its too short
Agreed. He should have taken a detour in Livingstone. Beautiful Mosi-oa-Tunya falls. Or get to Kazungula via Victoria Falls Town in Zimbabwe. Africa is beautiful.

Interesting. On my bucket list.
Im watching this for the third time....been to this road back on forth way back when..l had fan.
Hats off to Joel! Driving all those kilometers in a Hiace like a boss! Only driven from Juba to Nairobi in a Voxy and its an experience that I wouldn’t like to re-live.
What happened? I think the people in Africa are great but the governments make it harder for us.
This is interesting. I am a Kenyan married to a Zambian and I enjoyed watching the roadtrip
wow...this is inspiring...Who has noticed that some of these countries we laugh at have better infrastructure than Kenya?
Like i said and I'll say again kenyans need to travel to appreciate their own country. Kenya has better road network by far far only now is Ethiopia catching up no other country except s.a can match Kenya.
that is not true
Very true..Eg TZ highways are way better than kenya no doubt.
That is not true . Have you watched whole video
@@Kny-tn1mg Haha dude. That's laughable.
big up Joel Ur a Real hero ,U make kenyans proud
Looks like lots of fun but it’s a lot of hard work. This so far is the best episode of Chameada’s vlog.
Thanks so much for the feedback
@@Chwamwada Chams,you also need to highlight that you need local currency of all the countries you transit in order to buy food, and pay tariffs. USD's only get accepted in well established outlets.
Toyota hoiyeeee!
Very dependable n affordable!
I concur, Toyotas are a perfect bet for African roads.
@@BizSasa or maybe Africans better start manufacturing their on vehicles

Thanks Johnie

We r happy for you Joel.....congratulations for holding with the spirit of transport
Wow, thats a great road trip. Big up to my African brothers & sisters. Good job Alex.

Thank you for posting. One love from Johannesburg
That's great. .watching these from Durban. Have done these trip more than three times...and extended all the way to Cape Town. Amazing
This is beautiful... hardworking , honest leaving. Bless 🙌🏾
this is an eye opener for me, cudoz to Wachira for such a dare and thank you Chamwada for the report.
A good story Alex. You remind me of my road trips to Kenya sometimes in Christmas. See you in Nairobi when i trace that route in December.
Chams you have the best job in the world....Very interesting show
It is all about passion
Thanks for the video story. I did this trip to & from Gaborone to Nairobi in the same type of van as a paying passenger. Unfortunately I cannot recall if it was the same driver in the video. What a long trip but at the same time it was an adventure.
Just look at the epic scenery?? This kind of road trip is something that's on my bucket list... but more like Nairobi to Cape town.
This is very interesting.
Those goods must be very expensive there.
And fuel is very cheap in Botswana,
Botswana has always been my favorite country in Africa to visit.
the best... ignites the passion to visit our beautiful continent Africa.
So inspiring next time i will use road from Botswana to kenya

TZ is a very big country. Roads are excellent. But driving at 50-80 km is pure torture. You can fall asleep behind the wheels.
@@awaconawacon7533 just too many. and if your car has foreign registration you will be stopped are every police stop. they spend another 20-30 min asking you same questions and inspecting same documents and looking for every excuse to slap you with a fine. a very exhausting experience
@@awaconawacon7533 what's does that mean?
And the TZ police have been genetically made not to trust any Kenyan. They are at cold war with Kenyans ,they will really harass any soul from Kenya.
I normally drive across TZ at night as the doing 50 km /hr is unbearable.
I often do 130 to 170 on ramps.
I have taken this road trip thrice, with 2 detours to Victoria falIs. The first one to Botswana, the second to Zimbabwe and the third to Lilwongwe in Malawi. Fun,fun and more fun.
I went through that route back in 30 years ago from DSM to Zambia my adventure Trip
