This film contains footage from a local, Namibian tribe, images have been blurred, however, parental discretion is advised.

Namibia exposes the overland vehicle build weaknesses and stalls the team's progress, but the biggest problem is not mechanical. A new approach to Africa is critical but the team must decide to concede to the environment vs trying to control it.

The mechanical problems are teaching the team new things every day. The Tundra, Sequoia, and the Tacoma all have separate issues to address, but the show must go on. After all, the obstacle is the way and someone is about to celebrate a very important birthday.

With XO embarking on their longest, remote, section they have ever attempted, travel, logistics and fuel become everything and the smallest details must be calculated.

  • Next africa trip swop out those “trucks” with some 76 and 79 series Land Cruiser bakkies. Would go much smoother. And keep them as stock as possible😂
  • Thank you for joining us for episode 4! This was an amazing part of the trip for all of us.
  • @Bm.media01
    The joy in the kids face when they were doing the fist bump made me tear up 🤧
  • @bryantelford495
    An American mindset in Africa means one can miss out on the real African experience...
  • @jessej295
    So happy to see Adrian with your group for this series. I’ve been watching him since he drove the Jimny
  • @simon-mouse8739
    Management of expectations but also aspirations. No point getting there if you missed everything on the way 👍🏻
  • @Cleophis1975
    Seeing the father son moments really warms my heart. I still miss Kurt though.
  • @wojohowitz5432
    Thank-you XO for helping swing the pendulum back to Love, Respect, Common Sense and Humanity! Well done!
  • I am from India. I love your content. I see your content from the Alaska series. I don't know that I could go to these places once in my life or not. But, through your videos virtually I am travelling there. I learn many things through your videos, like leadership, bonding, how to be a true companion, how to be a good family member. These videos makes me dream that it may be one day I will travel many places like you..

    When we did Khaudum avreage speed was between 15 to 20 km/h and let the vehicle drive it self with min input, we once did stop go stop go and we did 5500km did not see much and it becomes a great spirit killer to keep up with the schedule, Remember this is Africa, African time, my 2 cents, slow down and enjoy,
  • @scottgibson9400
    i "liked" this episode before it starts playing, because if you know, you know
  • @DefiantOffroad
    I really enjoyed this one. Seeing the kids interacting with the Chief made chuckle!
  • Rigid schedules are brutal. Old and valuable advice... when you stop for the night, always spend 2 nights in each place. Enjoy the place philosophy. Also, it allows for delays and exploring cool stuff along the way without adding pressure to the trip. Yes you'll only cover half the distance but it will be a better experience. My two cents :) The videography is on point!
  • @paulsmit8147
    You need a good few months to travel Africa, hope you get to see it all one day..... Adrian is definitely a good asset to any overland crew, hold on to him as long as you can. We have a good few overland legends, keep them in mind for your next visit. Thanks for the share 😎🤙
  • @BushRatNZ
    Being South African, now living in New Zealand, and having travelled these areas as well as Western/Eastern and Northern Africa, I love watching your channel. TIA is and will always be in my blood. Well done team!
  • @user-hk7ol9ls1e
    What a gift to experience the life experience of the local tribes and every day challenges. What beautiful people the children are a joy to see. What beautiful smiles and joyful lives they live. Those waterfalls are to beautiful to behold. You and your family are soooooo fortunate
  • @Maritimer
    Great video as always, really cool to not only have your boys with you but one celebrating his 18th and a father having a ""first drink" with his son is something to remember. I'm enjoying your friends on this trip, just the way south africans (and Brits) talk, it seems so propper compared to us Canadians/Americans, the little "The breakfast Oreo" "I didn't know people did that..." "they don't" haha was great. The fact you stumbled into meeting a tribe and chief is unbelievable, that is such a rare thing to experience. Really looking forward to the next episode. Cheers !
  • The hardship of the demanding conditions is soon rewarded at camp! Another epic series! Thank you XO team and Roam Overlanding🤝🏼

    A comment for the whole channel: Astonishing production quality video after video.... This is really tough to do iteration after iteration! I can see the work and planning that goes into these episodes as well as the editing and sound production... There is always plenty that goes on with expeditions like this that cannot be planned for yet needs to be shot nonetheless, yet the effort that goes into research, planning and shooting for the edit makes for remarkable story-telling... And, in the midst of all that is the wonder, joy, and respect for what you are doing and where you are, and who you are meeting that is most engaging and simply awesomely enjoyable to view! It could be said that you have decided to make the world your university - and it shows! In the domain of overlanding right now there are very few who can approach the production quality you are achieving and this is no criticism of those others since nearly all of them are one-man or one-woman shows and they do awesome work too! Adrian and Christoff you have met and they are not only fantastic individuals, but, just like your crew, really manage to communicate the awe and the wonder and the joy and respect that should be the touchstone of overlanding... It only remains for me to extend my congratulations and a heartfelt desire to see and view you and the crew on the tracks of the world for decades to come!
  • Just found your channel, well done for raising such respectful and capable boys.
