- What is overlanding?
Overlanding is booming in popularity, largely because people yearn for knowledge and adventure. Perhaps more folks are wanting to get away from the city madness! Whatever the reason, overlanding gives you an opportunity to explore the world and learn from it. But what is overlanding? We are enthusiasts of overlanding, and we want to share the humble knowledge we have built up on this matter. It is our hope by doing so we can help you explore the world and learn from it. What is overlanding to us and more importantly, what is it to you?
Special thanks to @Venture2Roam (Idaho, USA) and @OverlandLady (BC, Canada) for this awesome collaboration! Thanks to @4x4ventures_southafrica for the banger drone shots!

What is overladning? I try to answer this question with this little documentary, 3 overlanders (from 3 different countries) share our perspectives.
Very cool post Chris. thank you!! I really enjoyed the perspectives.
Thanks Lee!

The passion shared for overlanding is contagious !

Thanks Vik! You certainly meet really nice folk overlanding!
Stunning episode Chris🙌🏻awesome stuff🤩
Thanks Boet!
@@GetOutGO 😁🔥🤙🏻
Thanks for this video, truly. Everything said really hit my chest. I grew up before "overlanding" was a big thing and loved it. Joining the miltary made less and less time for it and can feel the disconnection to that great feeling. I'm finally hanging up my boots and retiring and cant wait to get back to the journey. Thank you so much for making this video. Cheers 😊🤙🏽
My pleasure Brian, hope you have many great miles getting back to the journey!
Great video Christoff. For us, just being in the bush I southern Africa changed our lives
Thanks Doug! The African bush certainly has a way of doing that 😉
The journey is the purpose. Love it!
Cool video Christoff. Enjoyed this one.
Thanks Henk!
Good trip! Valérie from Khutse.
I keep watching this all over again. I want to re-like again and again. awesome content
Thanks Thapelo, much appreciated!
Loved this!
Thank you!
Great collaboration video! I hope Monique and Will get to experience South African overlanding hospitality. You are a true ambassador for the unrivaled biodiversity South Africa has on offer and showing people how to responsibility and respectfully enjoy nature.
Thanks Braam! Will and Monique are welcome anytime! 😉
Agreed. It would be interesting to see their take on CKGR, Kgalagadi and Kaokoland with the remoteness and wild animals.
Getting out to SA is on my bucket list….really hope to get there someday and do a trip with Christoff!
@@Venture2Roam anytime 😉
Nice one chris, absolutely hit the nail on the head .😁
Thanks Paul!
At the most basic, overlanding is simply travelling overland. This could by by vehicle, motorcycle, horse, on foot, donkey cart, bicycle or possibly even by train or bus. But it is more, it is about being self sufficient and not dependent on infrastructure whether by being totally self-sufficient to a degree that you are comfortable with. I am frequently criticised that what I am doing is not overlanding since I will travel to a distant location and typically set up camp for a week and use that as a base from which to explore whether by hiking, photographing nature, cycling or 4x4 excursions. I counter by saying that if you want to watch rugby next Saturday, you won't be driving from the one rugby field to the other in the hope of seeing a fantastic try being scored, but you will use reliable information to go to only one location where the best rugby match worth watching is being played. That is why I go to an area and get to know the feeling of the land, the smells and the mood of the land throughout the day and night and what makes those people and their history and landscape unique. Yes I do shake my head at the "official overlanders" that camp for a single night and depart in a mad rush heading for their next target on the map hundreds of kilometers away. I feel that soaking up the land is something I simply have to do and to document my experience photographically while telling the story of that land and its people.
a very intriguing lesson. easy & relevant to digest. keep up the good work!.😎 im learning much from you guys.
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this! Well done Chris.
Thanks Sam!
Great video.
Thank you!
For me its being enveloped in pristine nature. The call of the wild!
Good video.
Thank you! 👍
Thank you Christoff - This was a GREAT video.
I believe that we as a people / species was made for Adventure. Travel. Exploring. Experiencing this FANTASTIC planet called Mother Earth.
(I also think we are fortunate to be able to do this. )
I wish I can make the switch and do "Exploring" and "Experiencing" my main activity.... One day... One day....
#adventureisnecessary thank you so much, really appreciate it!

Awesome video!
Thank you!
Thank you Christo.
While you have contributed to my understanding of overlanding. And you really have done so, let me tell you that my intention is not to run away from the norm (eg a house, a family, all the problems that I might face). I wish I would be able to go somewhere with the means I have: alas I cannot as yet. But when I do. It would not be running away: from self, means or judgement. Thank you for your honesty and bringing overlanding to many and myself. Groete boet!
Thanks Kevin!
Subscribed, greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks Guido!
Half an hour with you and your friends, now an hour with Ryan 4X4 venturing in Zimbabwe. 90 minutes very well spent.
Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed it!
we car camped out of the back of my 95 grand Cherokee each night we had to take out the spare put stuff on the roof rack so wife and I had space only draw back is elec windows if it got to cold or hot had to turn on the key to roll up down up down
#doesntmatterwhatyoudrive Even with a few discomforts, nothing beats being out there 👍
Nice video
Thank you!
Actually just wnn become like u guys
Thank you 😊
Overland i think is the version of overseas. Wherein you go accross different lands mostly remote
Overlanding is often categorized as exactly that, yes. I think the point we’re trying to make is it doesn’t really matter what you call it as long as you get out there and enjoy it 😉
@@GetOutGO Exactly!
How does one start over landing, I love nature and driving and solitude of nature?
First you need a vehicle, doesn’t have to be a 4x4. Start with spots close to home that have all the facilities you need. A 4x4 does take you further off the beaten track so if you do want to go that route, have a look at this video;

🍻✨️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏽👌🏼
Definitely on of your best videos Christoff.
Absolutely spot on. I wish you were able to do inspire more South Africans ...especially the youth. ....some sort of embassador of sorts.
I wish I could join you on one of your trips. You really inspired me about the truths of this OVERLANDING passion/activity...etc
Thanks Bhupesh, I really appreciate it!
Back in the day it was just called car camping
Yup, point is it shouldn’t matter what we call it as long as we get out there 😉
Its nothing new....just driving around...like weve been doing since the auto was invented...before that...it was horses and wagons....or trains...simple
Exactly, it’s not about what it’s called, it’s about getting out there 👍
