I'm very jealous! I guess you're on it now so I'll check your channel out in the hope there might be some videos...!
Very well done ! Excellent impressions and a good inspiration for whoever always wanted to do "this one roadtrip" ! Keep going !

This video absolutely deserves more views! Thumbs up 👍🏼
This is amazing!! I really want to do a trip like this through Africa.
I know it's easier said than done, but do it!
Great footage and video! It really shows you guys enjoyed it!
Cheers Ulrich Münstermann. Looks like you had a good time in Tunisia too!
idrthrbskiing Yes, we had a great time there. Now in Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa! If you ever take the Western route down, drop by ;-)
i did that same trip in reverse back in 2012... Africa is the most amazing adventure. :-)
Good stuff , looks like you have the right tools inside the car.
excellent vid! very inspiring
Thank you Gordon Mackinnon :)
Incredible
I did this same route back in 2013. Best 6 months of my life!!
Africa's such a beautiful continent
THIS is probably going to be THE best overlanding video youre ever going to find on You Tube (but too short!).
Each clip moulds with the last....merging into a series of related scenes....the colour saturation is top notch....
Infact whoever made it could probably get well paid for travel advertising videos.
Bravo.
Beautiful Tanzania! My country.
I would give my life to go on that trip with you! stunning!
Stunning like your music DiNiBi. Loving Nothingness.
Yes, muito lindo seu vídeo parabenssss!!
+Lucy Amado Muito obrigado!
I only have 1 word to say
More
Loved it.
Hooping u don't stop
Thanks Mohammed Al Sulami. Another one will come..
Nice vid guys, we'll be doing our trip in the near future also from the top down...
Jealous of you living in Africa +My Life in Africa. What a place!
Well done!
Thanks Mark Kellgren.

A caledonian Blue Defender, Imo one of the best looking thing ever.

Cheers Land Rover Mudding , it really was incredible and you must!
Thanks a lot for sharing this ! Could you please share more details on how you organized this, went through borders, visas etc. And let us know if you ran into any troubles/issues?
Thanks!
Just wow
Cheers +Tobias Friedrich !
Very inspiring i really like it and would plan for one. appreciate if you could share your planning and from where should i start.
The best places to start are the overlanding websites. expeditionportal.com/ is a great one.
Nice video. From 10.000 km must be more pictures. We need more :-)))
great!
yeah this vid is way better than the winner ... looks like a fun trip
Thanks schec !
love your video! how much time did you need to do the hole trip? you should do a longer video I would like to see more.thank you for sharing!! :)
man that was amazingly beautiful. i have a lot of questions and inquiries. do u blog or write articles ?
Thanks +ahmed helwan. I don't write, although maybe should try! I'm back working trying to save up for another trip - then maybe I'll look at writing :-).
What was the cost breakdown, car, fuel, food, time to prepare, visa,....can you elaborate on that?
Amazing video! I've done a very similar trip
Great film ! That's all !!!
Thanks +suketetu33 !
Hi! How long did the total trip take you and what was roughly the cost of it? Currently looking into doing this as part of the worldtrip I am now on doing with a mate. We are going to work in between travelling to save up for this. And we need, besides the cost of the car, a bit of an idea of how much it will cost and how long it will take to travel around. We do have experience with some of the countries mentioned in tje video, but not all. Thanks a lot!
Excellent video. I'm nearly done modifying my Discovery TD5 for a drive from London to Morocco. I've only got three weeks off due to gardening leave but this trip inspires me. I'm song a charity drive to the Sahara next April. I've bought a drone to video mine but like the idea of a GoPro on a selfie stick :) which ones did you use?
That sounds awesome. I wish drones were more around when we did our trip. How did yours go?
This video chill me. You blow up my mind...
I wanna be a pilot and I'll start study to be a pilot for one year.
I'll try to get a job international airline.
So I'll travel all around world.
From Korea, thank you.
2017.12.18
Till 2018.11.15(the third week Wednesday of the November)
amazing. I wish i can make a really good trip like this.
Are the guys sat behind your bodyguard? :)
This year is my turn, South African what lived 17 years in London, and is busy planning my trip through east Africa with my 6 year old taxi....
This is epic! How much time did you have to spend and what was your budget for the whole trip? Maybe i'll get the chance to do this someday :D
i love travelling and am saving for that 4X4 land rover. my concern though, Kenya should have been given more airtime in the video....am from there and its beautiful country.
That's really nice video
Great job
Q, what time of year you cross Ethiopia 😎
Cheers +faisal alhashmi . We were in Ethiopia in November.
Awesome video! Seems like a great experience. How long were you on the road?
Thanks martinb1111. We were on the road for about 6 months. When I save enough money again, I'll try and go for longer!
Love to hear the Route through Tanzania ? Please ? Doing Nairobi to CPT in next cpl of yrs, so serious planning going on. Thanks.
Very cool! I m planing a similar trip, however down the west coast. Berlin - Cape Town. How long did it take you for the entire journey?
It took us about 6 months Ivo Peric. We met some motorbikers who did it in about 6 weeks, and some others in a Landrover who were planning on taking a year or so. I guess the longer the better, so long as you can afford to be away from work! Maybe speak to +Ulrich Münstermann (one of the other commenters) - I think he's currently doing a similar trip to what you're planning. :)
What program did you use for editting and what font did you use for the countries? Great video.
Hi thanks for your comment. I used power director 12, and the text is Segoe UI, done with movie maker. Loving your videos as well.
Hi! I see the comments on your video are on the older side, but am hoping we can link up. A few of my friends and myself are looking to do something similar next year. How long was your trip start to finish? Would love to have more details.
Thanks!
Amazing video , how did you manage to find armed guards ? could you give me some info im going next year for 2 months thanks
Epic! Really dreaming to do this. How long did the total trip take (start to finish)? I'm starting of easy with a week Morocco in Decembre.
It took us about 5 months. How was your week in Morocco?
♥️
Great video. Inspiring. Did you keep a website updated during your travels?
Thanks The Africa Overland Network. Alex, the mate I traveled with, did: londontocapepoint.com/
May I ask you where you bought the car? Awesome video man
Thanks! The car was my friend's which he had. I can't remember where it was upgraded for the expedition though.
wow
woooooow !!!!!
just got back from Sudan, this video makes me wonder why It doesn't have more views
Haha, thanks +Mohammed Hamza .
Good morning my fellow friends
Beautiful !
Questions:
1- How many Land Rovers ? What type of engines? Tyres ?
2- What are the main equipment, to carry with you ?
I hope if you removed the part of the jumping girl into the water. I think it is personal
Where did u guys start the trip? Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Cheers from Egypt! I'm planning on doing the same trip within the next couple of years with my defender as well! I wanted to ask how it is going through the borders with your car, whether you went on safari with your own car and a few questions about the cost of the trip overall.
The border vary - some you're quick through, some take time. Depending what nationality you are and where your vehicle is registered may also add time or make it quicker (locals seemed to go through without any issues). We did go on safaris in our own car, which was way cheaper than with a tour operator. You can generally only really stick to roads, but there's still loads to see. Also by going to smaller parks there were so few other people there which was cool.
Ah great! Thank you!
Awesome, but please do a longer vid, at least an hour!
Amazing video dude! Looks like it was an amazing trip - what year is the Landy you used? Did you have many problems with it along the way with the tough terrain?
Good question Mark Ganly! I'm afraid I don't know what year it was. The only issues we had were with the struts, which turned out to be not long enough to handle the raising that the Landy had had. However having made our way through four struts, a friendly local welded some extensions to an old pair of Landcruiser struts and we didn't have a problem again. The other issue was when the battery and fuse compartments under the driver and passenger seats flooded with water (turns out they aren't sealed) and we lost all power. Another friendly local did some rewiring and hot-wired the car into action again, and by the time he came to take another look the following day, whatever the problem was (water somewhere) had gone and we were on our way.
idrthrbskiing, Mark Ganly The S reg Landy will be around 1998-1999.
Great vid by the way! Makes me want to get on with renovating my 4x4 so I can do a trip. With the issues you had with the Landy, did they add to the experience or were they stressful times? Having not done a trip outside of Europe one of the main concerns I have is with having a breakdown in the middle of nowhere and not having the right spare part or equipment to get the vehicle back on the road. Was this a concern or was it a case of where there's a will...? My 'dream' list of tools and spares to take along might necessitate a trailer! Right I'm off to have a look at what other treats you've uploaded!
Sorry I never saw this reply +bestoca. Good point with the year based on the number plate. If it's not too late, to answer your questions - they definitely added to the experience, even if they were a little stressful. Of course, there's only so many spare parts you can take, but a Sat Phone, and mobile phone with local sim cards will be a life saver if there's a major issue. Also being sensible about where you go - breaking down in a dangerous area wouldn't be cool, but most of the time it's ok. The friendly local I mentioned in my reply to Mark, who did the rewiring, happened to be the driver of a pick up full of locals who an hour or so earlier we had pulled out of some deep mud that they were stuck in. Help comes from random places!
Of course the Defender 😍
don't know of any other car that would best be suited for the trip
+Exa Ghost Agree!
The meaning of life
Amazing video. But why only 3 minutes?? An adventure like this requires hundreds of minutes....per country.
I know right! Making something longer would probably have been easier as well. One day! Thanks for your comment. :)
Firstly i have to support my pre-commentators: Amazing video, just reminds me of my trip to Sénégal :) Im doing some Roadtrip in the next time, too, from Capetown to Kakamega, Nairobi probably..
Do you think i can do this in 3-4 weeks? I would love to stay longer but my friends dont have that much time left..
Greetings from Germany
Hi +WorldOfCha0s, I definitely think you could do it in 3-4 weeks, although of course the longer the better if you had the time. We met a Brazilian family in Aswan who were driving around the world and made it from Wadi Halfa to Cape Town in 4 weeks!
I came across this because I've been wanting to do the same thing. Now I'm 100% going to do it! Awesome video. Did you have any problems on the trip? Things that turned out to be harder than you thought, something stupid like washing your clothes maybe? :D
We didn't really have many problems, but I guess because of the amount of research before hand. Overlanding websites have all the info you could ever need. We didn't really have many clothes, and washing them was pretty easy. A cool tip is to have a plastic drum that you can close effectively. Add in your clothes, washing powder and water (maybe some stones too) and strap it to the roof rack for when you drive. That way you have your own washing machine.
@@bromleyg That's a great idea!
I know it the video is quite old, but i have two questions,
1:Why did you have the military guy with you?
2:Did you have any mayor problems, like engine Breakdown,...
6 Minutes would have been better (or maybe 12?) Visited some places myselfe. Great Video! When did you go? Where did you cross over into Sudan? How did you get the cars into Egypt? Freight vessel? No more ferries right?
Regards!
One day I'll make a longer video greetinx11! Alex left London September '13, and I met up with him in Egypt in October. He shipped the car into Egypt with Ro-Ro from Iskenderun to Damietta, and we crossed into Sudan on the boat from Aswan to Wadi Halfa.

Thanks for your reply.
How long were you on that holiday?
6 awesome months Andreas de meester
How long did the expedition take you?
Hi +Malan Steenkamp , the trip took about 5 months.
where is the full video ?
hi guys, stunning video! looking forward to do a roadtrip there, too. what would you say, would be a nice route for 3 weeks ?
greetings from germany
If you have three weeks and you can go anywhere in Africa, the top three places I'd recommend are northern Ethiopia - Simian Mountains and the Afar Depression with a trip to Erte Ale. Or Botswana, the Makgadikgadi, Okavango, and Kalahari. Or Namibia, along the Skeleton Coast. Wherever you go, it will be an awesome experience!
thanks ;) did u rent your jeep there ? is it expensive to go there alone ? what would you suggest to go by bus or by rental jeep ? what is that vulcano in your video ?
The volcano is Erte Ale in Ethiopia. That's an awesome trip. We negotiated our way onto a trip that was going there - it wouldn't be the best place to go to alone as you pick up armed policemen and soldiers due to it being quite a dangerous area. I don't know if you can rent there, but definitely you can in South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia. It's expensive to get set up and to get there, but it's not really expensive once you're there. We met an Australian in Ethiopia who was hitch-hiking and catching busses and asking people for lifts (he's in the video with us). We also met 12 Japanese people who were taking public transport from Egypt to South Africa, a Hungarian hitchhiker, and all sorts of other people. There are also overland expeditions you can join, that go in big 4x4 bus/lorry things that look quite fun and I don't think are too expensive.
That volcano looks fricking stunning!!! So it was your own jeep ? or you bought it there ?
when you said you have to take armed soldiers into your car, they stop you and say lets join you guys for your safety ? do you know some of those overland expeditions ? which you join ?
It was a friend's car from the UK. I don't remember there being anything stopping you from driving into the Afar Depression by yourself, but we went as part of an organised trip and we went to the military barracks to pick up the armed guys. A few years ago a bunch of tourists were kidnapped in the area and some were killed, so probably best to go as part of the organised groups. We went with Ethio Travel and Tours. The two big overland expedition companies I know are Oasis Overland and Dragoman, although I've never used either.
Hi! I'm after some advice as we are thinking of doing a similar road trip! Is there a way I can contact you?
The best places to start are the overlanding websites. expeditionportal.com/ is a great one. If you're on Instagram then look me up and you can message me through that. I have the same name there. :)
Lovely trip. I am so jealous. Wish I could do it, but I am 75 years old. The medical insurance would kill me. lol
Your 75 and say lol haha that's the kind of grandparent I want lol
Great Video....Wish I could hear your introduction. Maybe add narration subtitles?
Good idea, and done. :)
bg Awesome, great start!
I am 13 and o have started saving
How much does it cost with all ?
I think probably quite a bit, as we had a nice Landrover. Visas and the carnet that allows you to 'import' and 'export' your car through Africa are the biggest costs. Fuel's not too expensive, and we mostly camped.
Could you add the road map of your trip, please...
Good idea +benzfen , I'll get on it..
idrthrbskiing could you maybe please send it?
What’s about these people in the rear seats? We’re you giving them a lift?
What company/website did you travel with in Africa?
Hi +anchoragesalsa, we didn't travel with a company. Just the two of us in a car. :)
wowwww.
