- Overlanding Zambia & Zimbabwe as Rhys asks me my final thoughts and reflections of this amazing trip, around a wild campfire in the Matusadonna National Park, on the lake Kariba.
New roads, in new wild places. It's an adventure filled with the overlanding spirit with unforgetable wild encounters, one we will never forget.

One of the best episodes you've produced Ryan, the imagery, drone shots and personal thoughts were fantastic. Love your work mate.
Thank you mate. Always a worry when you try something different, but bonus when it is received well. Appreciate your feedback bud and I’ll see you at the next one. Cheers legend
You're awesome Ryan. Following from Namibia and now my wife is a fan. We watch your stuff all the time and can't wait for your next adventure. We always feel as if we are right there with you. God bless and many safe travels!!!🎉
Just love your videos. Your trip has inspired my wife and I to follow in your footsteps and see our Southern Africa more extensively. Thanks boet.
Thanks
Thank you again Anton. Really appreciate your support mate 👌
Awesome show, some things I would love to see and do if I had a 4x4 rig again. So thanks for sharing your experience with us 🙏⛺️🤙 ps, love the new look of the Ford 🤝👍
I will support you my brother as a follow SA. I love your videos and they make me love Africa even more.
Hi Ryan,my name is Marcio Ramos from Angola,I did live in south africa from 1995 to 2008,I love your country and also do know Namibia and Botswana,2024 I will start build a overlander car for me and hope on starting those kind of trips and adventures with my wife and 2 childrens,your channel is a big motivation and one day I will contact you for some guides,thank you and keep enjoying
your life with your family and friends.
Thank you Marcio. Glad the show inspires and motivates you to explore and adventure wild places. One day we hope to visit Angola and showcase the wildlife and conservation progress that is being done in your country. We have heard it is a special country. Keep well and stay safe 🙌
Thank you for taking us through this journey. I love overlanding and I wish one of the days I'm gonna build my own overlanding rig and persue my dreams.
Cheers from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Hi Ryan. This video just went up yet another step. Absolutely world class. Tremendous as always.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Michael 👌
Been watching you since Namibia trips💯💯
You are cut above the rest, top drawer staff
Thank you Tafadzwa. Just thankful to be able to take you on the adventure. Glad you enjoyed it mate, and see you at the next one 🤙
This video was the last straw that broke the camel's back for me to join your patreon. I bumped into your content and I am absolutely mesmerized. I would love to suggest that you invite travelers to south africa to join you for a fee to see some of these places. You could coordinate it with car rental companies. I have watched many videos of you and the thing that always comes to mind is your humanity and how I would love to have a beer with you. I would like to connect separately to share ideas. Thanks for this amazing content!!! I still do not understand why south african countries have not organized themselves the way east africa has with seamless border crossing and integration. Even foreigners get an East African visa for easy movements across the region. Greetings from the US. I
Thank you Andrew. Much appreciated for your comment and kind words. Yes, something new is brewing in the background and hopefully it all works out.
I see Botswana and Zimbabwe are now in testing phase of seamless border crossings, so maybe the change is happening. I am not sure this is a good thing to be honest. I still think some form of control and due diligence is needed, just something a bit more updated.
Stay safe and keep well over your festive season. To you and yours be merry.
Greetings from South Africa legend and I’ll see you at the next one 👌
Hi Ryan, that was a brilliant conclusion to your series. One of the most beautiful African Overland series I've seen so far. You can feel how much work but also how much passion goes into the videos. It's nice that we can be involved in this way. Kind regards from Bavaria, Germany
Peter🤘
Thank you Peter. A really great message and thank you mate for your support, as always. It is always great to hear when a show has been well received, but wow, I never thought of this series like that. Thank you mate. Have an amazing festive season and I’ll see you at the next one 🙌
Great show again Ryan. Liked the information you shared man, have always watched you and Eddy as you go round the countries and camps .The way you put across on the last bonus question on planning and patronage has motivated me .great job
Awesome Enoch and thank you for your support mate. Fantastic to hear that you are enjoying the shows we create and the adventures that we do. Keep supporting and I’ll see you at the next one 🤙

Beautiful, brilliant and exactly my dream. I've grown up in the then Natal Parks Board Reserves, travelled the world as a Merchant Seaman, 4x4'd all my life, farmed bananas, Avon's and macadamias in the lowveld, studied Nature Conservation, qualified as a 4x4 unit standards facilitator and manage River catchments along with playing guitar and singing in two bands and so for al manar of occasions. You have done and are doing what I have dreamt of this al my life. Thank you!!!!
Well done Ryan another excellent video well summed up on an awesome trip.
What a pleasure watching another of your cinamatic masterpieces ......!
Thanks bud 🙌

Nice one again Ryan. A bit of a change up for the normal footage, but I really enjoyed it . Always good to hear from other Overlanders what they think of places that I’ve also been to and always good to hear others points of views … thanks for sharing bud 🙌🙌
Thank you mate. Great to hear this one is being received well. Been worried about trying something different tbh. Only a privilege and I’ll see you at the next one 👌
@@4x4ventures_southafrica 🙌🙌👏👏

Brother, absolutely awesome. Love your work.
Thank you Kobus. The hood was burning lekker at the fire mate 😂 appreciated legend and for your amazing support. See you at the next one mate 👌
This is a bucket list trip for me. I own a Mahindra Karoo 4x4 double cab which I have immense respect for. What would I need in terms of self recovery and minor repairs? Would a good quality canvas canopy suffice?
Great Episode, picture quality on another level, i like, i like, i like
Danke!
Thank you so much for your support. Really really appreciated. Have a great festive season mate, stay safe and be merry. I’ll see you at the next one legend.
Your work is so beautiful and inspiring Ryan. God bless you.
Thank you Max. Much appreciated 👌
Thanks! Going to Botswana now. Thanks for great content
Thank you Louis. Appreciate your support mate 🙌
Awesome Ryan….
Thanks Craig 🤙
Fantastic Ryan! Thank you
Thank you Sean 🙌 much appreciated
Hope to encounter you one day, like I did Edward briefly in Khwai. Can't say it enough: you guys are an inspiration on many levels.
Thank you Iddo, if it’s meant to be it will be. Great to hear and fantastic to be able to inspire bud. We’ll see you out there, and if not we’ll see you at the next one legend 🤙
@@4x4ventures_southafrica I am very interested in your story: how you came to the decision to become "a fulltime youtuber" . What was you job , how did you find the courage to make that change and why did you want to. Which steps did you take and what were the financial implications, things like that. Maybe more people are interested, then it could be a topic for a new clip ? (Or did you allready)
Anyway, great to see you follow your dreams allthough it is not allways easy.
Awesome, I’ve never thought of that. Creating a back story. Honestly always thought it wouldn’t be something people would be interested in. Great, you have my old proverbial hamster spinning now. I think it could be quite interesting to answer these on the next adventure. Brilliant. Thank you Iddo for your suggestions mate. I will work it out as an inclusion in an upcoming episode 👌
@@4x4ventures_southafrica 👍
I find back story episodes very interesting
Ryan I am your fan from Kenya, thanks for sharing this amazing adventure, what camera do you use for videos at night?
Thank you Mbeni. I use the Sony A7iv but it’s more about the lens and post production. Stay strong 🤙

Thanks bud, always awesome to watch your content ....
African Magic 😎🤙👊👍
Thank you Paul 🙌🙌 glad you enjoyed it mate.
Nice episode Ryan!
Thank you Henriette 🙌
quick one mm are you going to go to chimanimani amd inyanga also mozambique ?
Magic-Wow...Ryan, what a Documentary. three years following you, i can see how mother nature natured you to become am epic Overlandist. Just curious on the Ranger and just wonder how many kilos on the clock 😉. Well done mate ;-)
Thank you Clive. I salute you mate for your support and appreciation for the show.
The ranger has done some hard kms. And, all will be revealed and more at the next episode mate. It’s going to be a good one I hope.
At this point she had done about 153,800 kms
See you at the next one
Excellent stuff, holding your cards close to your chest tho, never did say which you preferred, Botswana, Zambia or Zim?? 😜
Thank you Nola, I prefer Botswana. Just because it is closer, half the price, and has very good wild life experiences in different ecosystems. But, I really enjoy experiencing new places
Very nice. Had to watch all the episodes. Out of curiosity, what time of year were you in Liuwa?
Thank you and glad you enjoyed. I did mention dates in the episodes?
We travelled in the month of early May 2023. Water levels were low this year, so roads were still accessible. Louwlardia plains is prone to proper flooding, and sometimes only opens up in June.
How does the 2.2 litter handle around ruts and muddy situations with a heavy set up like the bull bar? I have 2.2 4x4 just like yours too. So I’m curious what will it feel like when I set it up. Im currently on 33inch tires
I am also on true 33 inch tyres. It handles very well. Lower tyre pressures and really good traction. It still does get stuck, in thicker sand and mud, but with enough momentum it does well. The hamer Africa bulbar is actually very very light (28kgs) and houses a 12000 lbs winch, which helps for most tough occasions 🙌
Thanks
Thank you Tendayi. It is really appreciated, your support. Stay safe and I’ll see you at the next one 🙌
Thanks!
Thank you Tom, thank you for your support legend. I am humbled and appreciate it 🙌 have a good one and I’ll see you at the next one legend
