It’s All Gone Wrong | Overland Travel in South Africa | AFRICA XOVERLAND S6 EP1
Only 8 months from their return from the Nordic series the XOVERLAND trucks are stuck in port in South Africa. The team must work through the critical delays of the expedition. In addition, the entire Croft family is on the full, two-month expedition. The seasoned 9-member team is the biggest and best yet, and that’s exactly what’s needed to…

Kenya ought to be in the Africa expedition
There are no alligators in Africa. It’s Africa, not Florida 🐊
I will never forgive Toyota for not selling these vehicle in South Africa
Hoodies and baseball caps¿
A strong Sign of punks, not adventurers. 🥾💩
Question: Are These Petrol or Diesel Toyotas?
What will one need to do in order to join such an adventure with you guys??? this is just WOW.
This crew has vehicles and kit probably worth north of 150k each yet no contingency for their gas cooker. The mind boggles
Did you guys ever do a video on the trailer being towed by Simba? I’m interested in how you set it up.
Having followed the EFRT I found this one. I scanned your highlights and found “this is Africa.” Ha! Africa is now a part of you. You will never be the same. I grew up in Kenya (Rift Valley) and very much look forward to watching your whole trip and a virtual revisit of “home.”
Please take a look at Kijabe Forest Trust & the Eden Reforestation Project (Bryan Adkins). Their work could use more sharing as they help the community of Mai Mahiu devastated by a mudslide a few weeks ago. Thank you.
I love everything about this! Love watching these videos! Is there anywhere that you sell those Xpediition overland hats (Black and Orange)?
Wonderful video! Who is the singer / what song plays at the end credits? I love it and can't find it anywhere by lyrics.
you have the best and finest story teller doing the adue, the courage, confidence and inspiration is worldclass. This is one of the series that always inspires, challanges and motivates evryone to pursue their dreams against all odds. you guys are a big blessing to this generation
If you guys ever make to kenya 🇰🇪 i would love to adventure with you guys❤
I am a Kenyan youtuber and I absolutely love this
one of our own best overlander chris
First night in Botswana 🇧🇼, no proper food but man drinks St-Louis. #TIA 😅 38:02
TIA…for sure. Get capture of the adventure in logistics just to start the epic adventure, thanks for sharing!!!
Welcome
Christopher is a perfect example of a great South African 🇿🇦, kind and always willing to go an extra mile for others
All the gear and no idea 😅
Thank you for sharing these amazing experiences! 😊 Simon 🇳🇴
I just wasted an hour of my life watching this total failure expedition. You should consider changing the name of your channel. just to be clear, a bunch of people talking nonsense its not an expedition. You guys went to Africa and didn't show the amazing landscapes and the amazing people that live there, you didn't show their food or culture or ways of life. This was my first time watching your show and also the last time. I am from Mexico and you guys are not welcome here in case you wanna do your gibberish show where you only talk nonsense and you don't show the amazing places of the country you are in. Your egotism and narcissism blinded you and prevented you from seeing the wonder of the world. I have been myself in a few expeditions and I cant relate my experiences to this talk show. Only the ones who have not been in a real expedition are gonna like this talk show.
I love to see Pete outside his family. All of y’all are awesome! 🙏I put the quick deflators on my rig too😁
Was an honour to meet some of you guys today in Cental SA, safe travels, many blessings 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Love❤ u guys. You always have a base camp and support here in Evergreen Colorado.
Ashley, which hat is this 6:54? It looks beautiful on you.
Great first episode, looking forward to this adventure!
Trust in the lord and he will get you through anything
That’s a big gamble. Firstly going to SA during what is known as white persecution. Secondly, going in unproven platforms like the tundra and iForce. Tundras has couple issues like turbo issues and premature engine failures.
Wow! Guys what is the map that you were looking at the beginning of the video?
I wana be a part of your team
I worked for an overland safari company back in the early 90's. Couldn't get into South Africa back in those days, but I can't say I felt like I was missing out. Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Burundi, Rwanda and Zaire (as it was back then) were all amazing and so very different in their own ways. You could date a countries escape from colonial rule by the infrastructure as you crossed the borders. From the 1960's dust and dirt of Tanzania onto the 1980's tarmac of Malawi. But tarmac roads and campsites with hot showers and flush toilets weren't what any of us went to Africa for. You could tour Europe and have that. It was wilder then, and even more frustrating and disorganised and badly managed. But that was all part of the charm. If you couldn't drop into 2nd gear and go with the flow you would struggle with the life out there. I recently saw some footage of the road from Mto Wa Mbu through Karatu and up to Ngorongoro crater. It's sealed now. It was a red slick mud bath most of the time. I know it's progress, which we can't stop, but at the same time some progress just seems to sap the character out of a place. I always swore that the day they got a Hard Rock Cafe in Mto Wa Mbu would be the day I gave up going back to Africa. I look forward to the other episodes to see how you get on. Keep rolling
Every Overlander needs a Heavy Duty Gortech jack.
35:15 "After all of Christoff's warnings getting into camp feels like you are pulling into a wild animal war zone. Even having your son outside to back up a truck sounds risky." Come on guys – that is so funny I nearly fell off my chair laughing. You can drive from Johannesburg (at night) to the border and into Botswana's Khama Rhino Sanctuary literally in a front-wheel-drive hatchback and you can walk from one of their campsites through the bush (at night) to the ablution block with no fear at all of being attacked by a rhino or anything else. The place scores about 2 out of 10 on the Fear Factor scale. I really hope that you guys chill out a bit and relax and enjoy the journey.
Not only is the series excellent from a technical point of view, but it also exudes character and personality. Love it. I'm hooked.
All the equipment… kind of… and none of the Brains… you had months to plan for this and you didn’t prepare for your cooking to work or even the temperatures… honestly you can look up seasonal temperatures for everywhere in 5 minutes…. I’m actually super disappointed and shocked. Thought you guys had this…. The only thing good is your budget and camera work other than that. Good luck with the series. I’ll pass on this amateur adventure ….
Should have just offered them bribes to release your cars. TIA.
Absolutely beautiful to see you guy gang up with Chris, keep me glued to my screen. Lots of love from Namibia 🇳🇦 ❤
Why ship the trucks over "fully loaded" to only then remove and store a bunch of gear that you're not going to use? Why not have left all the unused stuff back in the states?
GOOOOODD LOOOORRRRDDD
The Cinematography and story combined is just beyond words… amazing video!!!
Wild camping was an available option as recently as the late ‘90’s – was amazing: just a general booking with minimal booking, but meticulous planning too…
This is so inspiring. Your kids are blessed to have parents who take them on an adventure of a lifetime. 👏🏾😁😊
That sunset? I've seen that from the Horn of Africa as well.
That's what a sunset in Africa looks like. And it just never gets old.
Never change and stay awesome X family/team!
I saw the Nordic series , that was some kind of a journey !
Was there a thought to instead ship the vehicles back to the US , continue down to Tarifa and start in Morocco ?
Funny how difficult it is for you to legally ship your trucks considering 4WD vehicles REGULARLY get stolen right from North America, loaded onto ships, and then sent over to Africa.
Great adventures through 🇿🇦 , 🇧🇼. Someone kindly explain this to me. Why did they have to air out the tires 🛞?
South Africa has the largest Rhino population, in the country you left behind before you reached Botswana. You are more likely to see it here in South Africa. The more likely reason you didn't see them is because they are being hunted by criminals for their horns and they get killed, its very sad our government is not protecting our borders here in South Africa and that also affects the Rhino's in Botswana too from illegal foreigners coming from other parts of the Continent. Its a big problem.
