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 get through this incredible 10-part journey.

The Crofts (Clay, Rachelle, Cyrus -17, Ryder -15, and Eli -13) join Dr. Jon, Richard Giordano, Ashley Giordano @DeskToGlory, and Peter Jr. VanStralen @EFRT on the ground. Local South African Christoff Eilard @GetOutGO takes the XO team in and shows them the ropes.

The three vehicles, Orion the ‘22 Toyota Tundra, Simba the ‘23 Toyota Sequoia, and Raven the ‘20 Toyota Tacoma are on the ground, stuck in port jail.

Hopefully, the trucks will be released and the ultimate, Africa adventure can begin! #xoverland #africa #overlanding #familyoverland

I'm so excited for the African expedition. I've watched all the expeditions at least twice and I never grow tired listening to Clay narrate his way through a series.

Hi guys you must understand that South Africa is an independent country from where you come from therefore rules and regulations are different from where you come from. You have to oblige.

[kellydrolet]

TIA - just another day in Africa. Reviving some memories guys! You are going to find that Africa just keeps calling you back so be prepared to plan a return!

[TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

I've never been excited by Xoverland's videos, like other people seem to be. I just realised it's because they have such a different approach to overlanding. Not so much a meandering journey, more of a goal focused mission. It detracts from some of my favorite aspects of overland travel, but I imagine it's necessary to create videos of this production quality and to attract the sponsors they have.
I still appreciate the chance to see the sights. Thanks for more free entertainment!

Lesson one you can’t plan to the minute in Africa.

[rachellecroft]

Awesome first episode. South Africans living in Idaho now for the last 1.5 years. This sure brings back memories. Love Cubu Island.

[sashinlutchman]

Waiting for this series for a while now. Super excited!

[vernkingsford]

With my Landy 300TDI I have driven over 100, 000 Km over all Southern Africa. From Cape Town to dar es Salaam twice. It is an Adventure. Not quite as dramatic as you portray. Having said that, I will be back this year 2024. Bush pilot in Alaska.

[TheCreateOutdoors]

You know its going to be a good series when you get to the end of the first episode and felt like it went too fast. Can't wait for the next one!
