Trouble in Paradise | XOVERLAND's Return to Africa EP5 | Lesotho

Even in the most breathtaking landscapes, vigilance is key on any overlanding trip. In this episode, the XOVERLAND team finds themselves in the rugged and awe-inspiring terrain of Lesotho, Africa, navigating both the challenges of the journey and the unexpected twists of the road.

After a grueling night for one team member, the rest of us face tough questions: Do we press forward? Is this the safest course? Time is not on our side, and the need for a plan grows urgent as the situation unfolds.

In moments like these, clarity is priceless—and it’s crystal clear that donkeys have officially earned their spot as our new favorite mode of short-distance transportation. Practical, dependable, and undeniably charming.

You guys are the right kind of humans. Many say things about the continent but, like you said if you come with the right mind, things workout. 💯💯💯💯

I love this episode because trips are not always about nature while overlanding. It's also about experiencing the culture that your in. How fun to ride donkies to a bar in South Africa. Something that will always be one of the best stories

This has been one of my favorite series, as a guy trying to find his foothold in the world along with his purpose, a lot of what was said in this series has helped me a lot. The production quality of X Overland has just rocketed to the outer atmosphere. I have been following along for about 4 years now I think and it has always been amazing. The best footage, the best vibes, eye opening philosophy, truly inspiring crew. X overland to me is not just a bunch of offroaders like 24/7 offroad, although great guys and have great content, X overland just has a way of hitting close to home and making me feel like i'm missing a crazy wide amazing world and and am working to do what I must to get to be able to do half of what you guys accomplish. As a long time viewer and massive fan, I am stoked to see where everyone is, what has been accomplished, and what the future may hold for X Overland. I am proud, thank you for your beautiful productions and never asking for a single thing in return like most other channels out there. Truly, thank you.

So glad Doc is ok, better safe than sorry. Beautiful episode. Thank you guys. Ps. One thing I miss from the Nordic trip, is all the interaction with the people and culture. So far, it's been my favorite to match.

I love Troy. What a great personality and sense of humor. He needs to be on more trips.

Lesotho is a hidden natural gem, rich in minerals that contribute significantly to South Africa 🇿🇦 🇱🇸

I am glad Dr. John is well and healthy. Kudos to you all on how you handled the matter. Your adventure is not only about exploration but also how to deal with the unexpected. Thank you Gentlemen!

Thanks for sharing all of this process including the wrench thrown in your plans for that epic camping spot with that health scare. I think it's important for people to see that side of it. Life in general doesn't always go as planned, no matter your platform/audience - especially these days. Anyhow another great show!

It’s a good thing that with such a small country we are getting two episodes, I was really feeling disappointed that the doctor got sick and thought Lesotho episode is over but in my head I was like Go to Bloem they got good doctors there.

I have been watching your content all this years, and I didn’t know someday you will come to Lesotho. Got surprised some day when I was passing through the border and I saw your sticker on the window. That’s when I knew that you were in the country.

Thank you so much for visiting us Lesotho is such a beautiful country.

🙂I new you would love Lesotho Highlands it makes you smile all day long, in winter man its on a nother level .So much more to see in Southern Africa. Thank you for showing Lesotho to the Overlanding Community .🎯Lesotho should be on everyone's Bucket list . Dinosaur Parks, Semi Precious Stones, Rainbow Trout, Yellow Fish as commonly none ( you don't have to be a fly fisherman can be caught on Spinner setup, Bell Spinner works and Epic fishing on the Katse Dam and some of the other rivers at Ha Lejone .

Zamalek (Black Label) and tick fever. Donkeys over the Drakensberg. Waterfalls and Basotho culture. Epic adventures with a band of brothers. Realeboga.

So glad he is ok, this shows something can happen anytime and being prepared and work as a team is vital. I felt bad when he apologized that he is sick.

This is probably one of the best episodes! It has, in my opinion, every aspect of what overlanding is. Thankfully the Doc was okay. But having to handle the emergency as a team really highlights what overlanding is. More than just fancy equipment and driving to a place (which seems to be what the stereotype is). It's about enjoy friends in the outdoors, seeing things you wouldnt typically see and working together for a common cause.

[ahajonathan]

What a place, and what a stunning view! My acrophobia kicked in really quick, though, with those cliff shots. But yes, another great episode, and it was great to see the team work together to get Dr. John to safety. Teamwork all the way!
