Overlanding in Remote South Africa | It's Not Goodbye | XOVERLAND S6 EP10

Published 2024-04-10
Our trip through Southern Africa has been a trip of a lifetime, and it’s not over yet. We have over 1,000km to go before the end of the expedition, most of it on dirt.

The team begins their push through South Africa to explore local 4x4 trails and campsites. A local ECO Trail system is calling our name, but can the trucks and team make it through this remote part of the country?

This is just the beginning of our time in Africa.

    One thing that stands out to me as I watch this series is that you can see how well these children are being raised. It stands out because it’s such a rare thing to see.
  • As a South African, this was an amazing series to watch, thank you guys !!!
  • @LindaWongkee
    Thumbs up to Richard and Peter, amazing footage. And props to Ashley for the navigation, can’t imagine that responsibility. Beautiful series.
  • @RoamOverlanding
    I love it! You got to see one of my favourite places in the peak flower season, it looked like a dream! Thank you for visiting us, and sharing your passion and hardwork with us all! Keep it up! See you again soon!

    I have followed most, if not all, of your series and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I used to do many 4x4 trails and over landing trips with my family but alas no more. So following yours is somewhat nostalgic. As a South African, I had been to many of the places you went in this series and it was great to see them all again through your eyes. My very first overland trail was the Namaqua Eco trail. I did feel like pointing out some great places you missed on your route, but then there simply wasn't enough time to see everything. As mentioned in the episode it felt like you had a lot of time but you could have spent a year on this trip. Thank you so much for sharing all your trips with us. Wishing you safe travels back home and many more adventures.

    The two major things Clay and Torfi said that stood out the most was when they mentioned Time. Bringing your kids with you and mentioning how time marches on with or without you, and how you think you have all this time but you really don't. That gave me goosebumps, brought tears to my eyes, as I have a 6 month old boy that I want to give him the life all the boys have. This has really pushed me to finish my overland build. I probably feel like Clay did in the beginning of XO. Financially is it smart to build an overlanding rig, God no, but it can it lead to the best experiences this world has to offer, yes. Clay, Rachelle, XO Team, be on the lookout for a serious 4th Gen 4runner build in the near future. Maybe a rig worthy enough to tag along with your team.
  • I know you guys hear this often , your films have made the overland community what it is today , thank you, as always very much enjoyed this series wonderful to see you incorporate the kids like you do.

    Another Saffer here- I have fallen for you guys… love your channel, the team work, the attitude and pure positivity. Would love to meet you guys one day!
  • @ThemTokTV
    This is how I want to travel with my family and friends, especially my kids. This episode had my eyes watery. Great content....I will be amongst those who wait to see more of Africa from this channel. It good to see my own country and continent from an eye of a foreigner, makes me want to Get out and Go!!!!! I though the Nordic Series was the best, and now this. Behind my own back yard. Respect Mr. Croft and The Team.
  • Africa episodes 1 to 10 just epic. Watched every episode. Learnt alot as I enjoyed much. Well knit family and I admire how you bring up your boys Clay.Well in.
  • Fantastic series, beautifully filmed. Love the family aspect. What a great experience for your boys to be part of. And yes, working AC next time 😂
  • @bevanpope7924
    On the subject of taking pics; the orange of your beard, your X logo and the lichen on the rocks at Cape Agulhas was brilliant. Glad you guys eventually made it to my front yard! Much love, Bevan from Hermanus
  • I really enjoyed this series, so happy that you got Africa in your blood.
  • @NeilHarrower
    The first part of your trail went through a region known as the Richtersveld, which is a truly incredible part of the world. It's a biodiversity hotspot with around 30% of the plant species being endemic to that region. Next time you can consider going slightly further North into the Richtersveld National Park - the scenes there are truly spectacular, and it's accessible to 4WD vehicles only.
  • @lbaker_SA

  • @roryvanzyl5326
