  • This is our 4X4 self drive safari van tour. We are a family of 3 travelling on a self drive Africa overland safari. We are on the road in Africa for several months travelling to South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, and Zambia.
    We booked this vehicle through the brilliant Bushlore bushlore.com and we couldn’t recommend them enough for amazing customer service, support and an really ace truck.
    We are the Newbys, John, Tara, and our two little boys Crusoe and Sawyer. We’re a family who are pursuing an alternative lifestyle, and after two years of full time travel we’ve taken root on an abandoned farm in Northern Portugal which we’re renovating into our dream off-grid homestead. We release new videos every Sunday sharing our story, and we’d love for you to be a part of it with us. Please remember to SUBSCRIBE if you haven’t already, it’s free and super easy to do and it helps us hugely.
    Thank you for being here. We hope that we can inspire you to Be Brave, Think Big and to Explore.

      Thanks so much Christina, that’s so kind and we’re so grateful to have you along for the ride. Hmm good question! To be honest we’re pretty set, maybe a big rug we could put in the shade for Crusoe to roll around on would be useful, but otherwise we’ve got everything we need. Thanks for being here and have a great week, we will see you on Sunday!

      Hello John! Great to hear from you as always, and yes, it’s definitely hotting up out here! Crusoe seems pretty unfazed by it, and we try and help him cope as much as possible with lots of swimming. It does cool at night which certainly helps. Have a great week and we will see you on Sunday. 😊 ☀️

    Hi Newbys family. Just discovered your content and Im so thrilled I did as I'm planning a similar trip with a family of 3 (also traveling with a young child). Would love to hear about the price that was charged to you for the truck and the length of time you had it for.
    With all the followers you have I'm not sure you'd have the time but if you considered doing a video chat with us at some point in the next few weeks I'd be incredibly grateful. Let me know?

    Hey Newbys, we want to rent that car. It‘s so cool and Looks comfortable. We wäre looking for the website but the price per day wasn’t available. How much does it cost per day? PS: We enjoy your vlogs

    • @TheNewbys
      @TheNewbys  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey guys! Thanks so much for being here, we so appreciate it. We’re travelling in low season and it works out at about $80 a day for the hire. Drop them a line, they’re super helpful and can send through a rate sheet for you to have a look at. Please do mention us when you do, we’d so appreciate it so that they know where you heard about them 👍🏼 😊 happy planning and if there’s anything else we can help with do let us know.

    Hi, how did you plan this trip? Was it hard to get the bookings for all the camp sites? Did you had prior experience in offroading? Very interested in doing something similar! Thanks for your help

    • @TheNewbys

      We called a company called Bushlore who we hired the car from and they helped with camp site bookings. We found it to be a fairly easy and excellent journey.
