Well done Ryan , Christoff , Ed the , 3 musketeurs julle Van Zyl pass klaar gemaak well done, drone footage wow Rooidrom pass, epic footage in the dark, 12 hours on the road eish hectic, what an episode thanks julle
The most uncomfortable episode to watch, i was scared for yall that something would go horribly wrong,never saw you guys that stressed and tired!rock packing this much!wow!what an adventure Legends!
Thanks for a great vlog on Van Zyl's Pass, you did a great job documenting something of what the 15kms entailed, and so prepared those who might like to come after you what to expect, it's definitely not for the faint hearted or ill-prepared.
Great great episode🥳👏👏👏.....Ed, Ryan and Chris welldone on this one I really enjoyed and I am inspired...keep going legends see you on the next one cheers🤙🤙
All my familly was with you during your dangerous crossing of that stony slope. Your film was fantastic. A lot of energy to your next adventures. Do not stop. All the best from Prague. Roman + familly
This is the most thrilling episode you gents ever produced. It felt like I was watching a thriller movie, I don't know when last didn't sit on the edge of the couch, teeth clinched and having a commentary on my own. The segment at 30 minutes with Ed's trailer and the last challenge was hella nerve wrecking, but with those breath taking views, it was all worth it. This deserves a Netflix feature, I'm so impressed *as I bow down* 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hey you guys are real adventurers, you have nerves of steel. I wouldn't even think of going through those treacherous passes. Very entertaining though. Keep us amused. Thanks
Mmmmmm guys i know you are exploring your life adventure but there is so much danger on these roads hope all the best for your adventure the roads aint no good at all. You put your lives at risk. I enjoyed watching this but wooow it made my stumach crunchy
Guys all I can say is WOW! Your teamwork over the Pass is 1st rate! Following all your channels, I think this may be your best episode EVER and I love them ALL! I am in AWE!
Gents now that was an adventure 10/10. Adding this route to my bucket list, but this one must be done ☑️. Excellent film work and love the episode. Ed well done for taking a trailer on this one.
Many thanks for posting, I did a two week self drive camping safari in Namibia in October 2022. You brought back some great memories. I absolutely loved Spitzkoppe. A special thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! You guys really excelled with this production. Brilliant scenes and I'm sure the most exciting, nerve racking trip you've done. Well done guys - thanks for the shares and the unbelievable entertainment. Cheers!!
Love how that old Fortuner is just handling it all, I do have one 2012 with 126km and just using it to camp with all the mods, what a camp example of a car. Love your work mate.
That journey was so very difficult. ...But i just say thanks legends because you managed to get there..I was just afraid for Mr Edward's trailer but he managed to get out from those horrible roads...BIG SHOUT TO YOU 4X4VENTURES💚
This is awesome 👌🏾. I discovered this channel about a month ago, and I'm hooked. As a Namibian, I'm very proud of this. I never really knew that this place existed 😅.
Thankyou for sharing with us your traveling's . Not many places comes close to those areas you have driven . Important to do it with some good friends /maters .Sometimes friendships can be tested on such long and hard drives .Save traveling's for you all .
Okay. Two comments in one vlog. Lol. Your video quality. It’s next level. Not just the behind the camera positioning etc but the equipment must be state of the art. I for one, watch more TH-cam than DSTV or Netflix. And I can say with all honestly that your videography is far beyond that of other international vlogs that have way bigger budgets than you. It’s taken me nearly two and a half hours to watch this because I keep pausing to view the spots we are also at. Your video quality has me right there, while sitting on my couch. Superb. This is award winning stuff. Can’t compliment you enough. It’s so sad to hear about crime on Van Zyls. Namibia is a country I’ve never felt safer in. This truly brakes my heart. Carry on legends. ✌🏻👍🏻
Wow wow, thank you for taking us along, it's a trip we'd never be able to do but felt we were there with you guys. Awesome, next level and everything else. Thank you so much. Greetings from the UK.
Epic journey. However, there is a saying that U HAVE NEVER BEEN TO KUNENE IF U HAVE NOT BEEN TO SERRA CAFEMA wilderness and Camp further west of Epupa falls along the Kunene river. I hope u reached that landscape marvel. If not then put it on Yr next itinerary.
Why is Edward the one that was stressing at Heartbreak hill, when it is Ryan who is driving the Ford? 😂 Only joking guys, I just had to. 😊. That seems like a really tough road, so well done. 🎉
You guys displayed insane levels of bravery by undertaking this adventure... Wow!!!! Your driving skills are superb: "MAGIC". Talk of resilience and calmness. And Chris' mental strength is incredible; that big obstacle with cars rolled over; all he sees is solutions. Thank you guys for sharing.
My heart was in my mouth for so much of this Adventure! How you all managed to keep calm and persevere is a huge testament to your skills guys. Bloody mammoth effort ❤ Cannot wait for the next part.
This is such a great review of Northern Namib and Van Zyl's Pass. Some stunning footage and proper info, probably your best work to date. Can not wait for the next episode. Well done OE.
Well worth the wait. Seeing a part of Africa we know nothing about. I'm amazed your trucks didn't rattle apart. Agree with Ryan, short on wildlife, but amazing scenery. Can't wait for Etosha.
Gents!!! This wasn't an episode, it was a movie!! Great work from you 3, what a crazy couple of days!! As a Fortuner owner, I just love that Chris calmly leads the way with very little fuss and drama ;-). Keep up the great work guys, can't wait for Episode 3.
After watching Ep 1 of you Namibia adventure, I've been looking forward to Ep 2 and you guys didn't disappoint. What an adventure! Looking forward to Ep 3 🤠
Thank you! The reality is our individual channels pay the bills (i.e. Patreon) and these OE productions are much more time consuming and costly to create; to give you an idea, this series was shot with 13 different cameras and we generated about 3TB of raw footage. This series also cost R150k+ to make (excluding damage to the cars). Bottom line is, the more support we receive on Patreon the more regular the episodes will be.
This is most probably the best overlanding episode ever I do watch a number of other channels even some international channels and this is way better than anything I ever watched. The Van Zyl Pass the scenery and all the camera work are just exceptional. I think all three cars are really great for these types of adventures and the trailer and Toyota combo is just awesome (not to take anything away from the Ford, in actual fact I think the Ford really did great) The best ever!!!!!!!
Now this is the best content I've ever seen on van zyl's. Thanks for this very informative and enjoyed every moment of it. Long wait though. Love the colab work you guys are doing.
Ed, what you've done with that 100 is great. The mods have turned it from a big soft family wagon to a beast. Ryan, the new lighter colour scheme on the Ranger works really well. It was a bit too dark before, but now I think the white on black works well. Chris, I think you've shown why the Fortuner is the best seller in it's segment in South Africa. It's scope of ability is fantastic. It made everything look like a Sunday stroll and didn't skip a beat.
Wow, this was indeed an adventure, I was at the edge of my seat when Chris went 1st on that steep hill descend were other cars did not make it, it was really close. I couldn't watch further, I looked away when I saw his Fortuner sliding on its own. I thought this is it. And taking care of the Israeli couple, magic. Is that not what Ubuntu is about?. Greatest show ever.
Awesome video and this is probably a trip of a lifetime. I made this trip in 1984 twice via Van Zyl’s pass. You needed nuts to take this route. Different environment and roads at the time. Kaokoland is just an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Greetings from Namibia.
I was also victim of a robbery in that region. But as the robbers were a bit stupid and thanks to cellphone tracking, they could ultimately be trapped and brought to court in Opuwo. But when you end up in the desert without anyting, that is really scary. So be aware of locals hanging out in the Marienfluss and even more so in the Hartmanns' Valley west of it!
This episode was as scary as it was awesome. Prime viewing by any standard. Really hoping to do this one myself one day. Never stop the fantastic material.
Omg, you guys are amazing and my respect for you as 4 x 4 drivers has increased 100-fold! I was s...ting myself just watching you on the downhill But what an adventure and an amazing achievement, well done!
Oh, that was a brilliant episode fellas. The Marienfluss footage is remarkable and I had to rewatch it again and again:D Thank you fellas for this treat!!
The reason you haven't seen animals in the area of Puros is because of the routes you took. Going up the Puros river in a western direction towards the ocean is a lot of water. There are lots of elephants as well as driving in the Huanib river. There are plenty of Giraffes, Gemsbok, Springbo, Rhino
Really awesome. I just can't understand Ryan's comment when he mentioned they were rigged for overlanding, and this is much more. Seems to me they all crew and vehicles handled it well. Another point I am curious about is why did the camera charging became a problem as the long driving hours should allow sufficient charging time. Maybe the advice on how to avoid it will help as most people will probably now wondering how to make our current charging facilities better? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again for the great video and the sharing to all.
Thanks! A lot vehicles that do Van Zyls have 35 inch tyres which would be ideal and give alot more clearance. With regards to the charging, the roads were so rough we had to secure everything in the cars properly. To the point that the batteries wouldn’t even stay in their chargers and cables wouldn’t stay in the plug points.
The resilience you and your Bakkies have deserves respect, great overlanding,great camera work,and good team work. Patiently waiting for another episode.
Hey guys, you really did it with this episode. The landscape, raw, dry, rough, desolate, hostile, yet so beautiful - your videography really does it all justice, great stuff. The drive over Van Zyls must have been nailbiting, it had me squirming in my chair. It is also beautiful to see the cameradrie between you three guys. Ooh how I would like to be there with you guys. Thanks for sharing this experience with us in such a excellent video. Cheers, Ingo.

Hey you guys are real adventurers, you have nerves of steel. I wouldn't even think of going through those treacherous passes. Very entertaining though. Keep us amused. Thanks
It's incredible how Namibia looks to many parts of Saudi Arabia. Truly a beautiful country.
Wow! Amazing adventure! Epic! Enjoyed every minute, well done guys!

Well done 3 musketeers!!! Great episode guys.

You guys are amazing. The road is a little like Moab in the U s. Thank you so much.
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! You guys really excelled with this production. Brilliant scenes and I'm sure the most exciting, nerve racking trip you've done. Well done guys - thanks for the shares and the unbelievable entertainment. Cheers!!

This is such a great review of Northern Namib and Van Zyl's Pass. Some stunning footage and proper info, probably your best work to date. Can not wait for the next episode. Well done OE.
Chris is brave, that drop is insane. I like his optimistic mood.
Part 2 finally out❤... waited so long for it..
Unfortunately these episodes take around 2 months each to edit. Thanks for watching
Well worth the wait. Seeing a part of Africa we know nothing about. I'm amazed your trucks didn't rattle apart. Agree with Ryan, short on wildlife, but amazing scenery. Can't wait for Etosha.

This is like Snowrunner, SA Edition.
I watched the episode last night and I loved it.❤
That must have been scary crossing the Pas,
And those 2 cars ddnt do justice calming everyone down😮
This looks so awesome Christoff. And expertly shot/edited. Kudos for putting together a great film.
Thanks Will! Team effort though, props to Ryan and Ed!

Ah Van Zyl's, what a road. Went up it from Camp Syncro a couple years ago with broken suspension.
Espetacular. África é Linda

What time of year is your Nam trip? I think you should make a note of it in your videos. Love your work!
This was October 2022. Thanks!
Omg, you guys are amazing and my respect for you as 4 x 4 drivers has increased 100-fold! I was s...ting myself just watching you on the downhill

Absolutely epic guys! What a ripper of a trip, and so well documented. If this doesn’t inspire overlanding, nothing will.
