  • Definitely the SCARIEST and highlight of the solo expedition across Africa! Today I have to reach the North Luangwa National Park here in Zambia, and to do so, I have to drive my 4x4 on this very basic pontoon. I can tell you one thing: I will never forget this moment! The Luangwa River is the place with the largest concentration of hippos in the whole World! And what do I see? A hippo swimming a few meters away from us: the 2 rangers and me, in Rafiki (my Toyota Hilux). Will I reach the North Luangwa safe and sound? That's a good question. Well, I'm writing this right now so I'm still alive, but WATCH the episode to find out how I managed that scary situation in the North Luangwa!
    ENJOY

      I think just content from Africa is shadow banned or do not have enough views, algorithm…try doing it over VPN or send it to someone in France to upload it for you…i ve seen very popular African RUclipsrs get low views just because of Location…Look into it…❤

    Wow. That pontoon looks sketch as... Don't know if my camper would fit😂. What an adventure agree... You should have more subs ... The RUclips algorithm is crazy it shows to much fake and not enough authentic stuff. Your laugh is absolutely awesome, more humane must no need to learn to laugh.
    Thanks for sharing.

    The hand gestures of the man on the pontoon really confused me! Did he confuse you? 👉👇✋👈🫱🫲🖖
    But yeah, there was nothing scary about the pontoon trip!!! 😳😱 ... I couldn't tell if you were laughing or crying 😂😭😂

    I was meant to cross the pontoon in June last year, but no one could contact the staff to find out if it was running/drivable that early in the season ( I ended up taking the river road south). Looks like I missed out.
    I hope to see the hot springs in your next video.

    Loved this film! The pontoon was mental - my heart was in my mouth as you crossed. How heavy is Rafiki - our Syncro is 2.8T so maybe too heavy? Loved your giggles and excitement after you crossed, very infectious - we were all smiling with you.
