Absolutely loved this weeks episode. Laughed when you said Harry is loving the recovery experiences - Good old Landy - the big boy did it again and again 🙂
I'll repeat what I said to Raymond.. Defo one for the Landrovers I agree, but as a short caveat I would defo look at the experience of the driver in the rental and (2) how many Landy's came to collect them after the ballon ride
@@troopyinafrica Well said and good observation too. But all in all, I don't think it's a coincidence that all Cruisers (2 different Cruisers) got stuck while the Rover smoothly navigated the same terrain.
@@jessekinuthia3477 Hey Jess, Cheers. I think the other one was also a rental with Active African Vacations 🤔. Driving your own car that you have learnt to drive will always be first prize. That said I think we have all been stuck before...the Landy had one too...but was conveniently omitted from the video🤪
Land Rover - Toyota recovery vehicle. Love it. You can't tell I own a Land Rover 110. But what an amazing video. Been on safari a few times and to anyone here, put it on your bucket list. It is one of the most memorable experiences you can have. It touches the soul.

@@troopyinafrica My father-in-law was Toyota man through and through and gave me heaps about the Defender. Always poking the bear. We had this banter going. He did at least conceded once when I had to "rescue" him with "terrible" defender. It does not matter. Everyone has their favourite 4x4. And yes you will see more Troopies in Africa as they are still being made. To each their own, I just love my Landy and you will love your Troopy. We both are happy with our car of choice.
@@raymondallo9947 Thanks Raymond. I too have a "father-in-law" in my life in the form of a cousin😄. What a wonderful reminder have of a father-in-law. Must have been fun around the dinner table.

Hi guys, it looked like Harry had more recoveries than most have had in a lifetime, but I can see you enjoy helping people out even if it is your brother - several times! Being a Landrover lover I think it’s fair to say that most hire 4x4s in Southern and East Africa are Toyota. Spares are readily available. But any 4x4 in the hands of an inexperienced driver will get stuck. Harry your time behind the wheel of the Landy has made you the perfect Toyota recovery vehicle ! Regards from South Africa. Landrover Forever!😊
Super vos videos, meilleures que la plupart du même genre. Chloe parle beaucoup mais je ne comprends pas bien l'anglais Je rêvais de traverser la bande de Caprivi mais je suis trop vieux maintenant ! Je connais bien le kenya, la Tanzanie, le botswana, la Zambie, le zimbabwe, le Malawi, le sabi sands en Afrique du sud et la Namibie, votre voyage me rapelle de très bons souvenirs. Votre Defender est magnifique ! Je vous souhaite de très beaux voyages mais sera difficile de faire mieux Amitié
What a wonderful place. The scenery and wildlife were amazing. The mud made travelling hard for everyone. It was all worth it with the excellent campground, accommodation, staff , and meals. Then to finish up the next day with the hot air balloon flight. Thanks for sharing it with us.
So many magical moments and epic recoveries! Compliments for the DEF! And thank you for sharing! I am a bit perplexed though: how on earth did the Landcruiser manage to get stuck so many times, even if the tracks were atrocious? I have driven both vehicles through East and Western Africa in similar conditions and both performed very well on challenging terrain. The DEF has a more powerful engine and traction overall, but the LC is almost as good. I bet your friends will have acquired a lot more of driving experience and skills at the end of the safari with you 😜!
So awesome to see your landy rescue all those Toyotas . Have owned both rigs loved them both . But there is JUST some thing spectacular about a Land Rover defender out in the bush . They look like there on a absolutely awesome adventure even siting still . The boys sure are getting a great testing of over landing driving . But look to be having the time of there life’s 😁. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful journey with us your over landing friends . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) … :) :) 🍻🍻🍻🍻👍🏼😁
Awesome you got to do the hot air balloon, i did it in the Maasai Mara as a kid wonderful memory. And the roads are fun when wet! I remember when my dad used to be part of the back up team for the rally drivers in the 80’s for the Kenyan safari rally one of the cars got time barred as they got a puncture and couldn’t get out to fix it due to a pride of lions. Always have someone on lookout when outside of the vehicles in the game parks.
What an amazing experience! I am so excited for you & what a treat, a hot air balloon experience in the Serengetti, can't beat that!!! Can't wait to see you in the next one, take care.
You were very lucky that you travelled as group, I always advise my clients not to go on self drive with one car especially Serengeti. It was a good adventure. Selfdrive is good for adventure
Hi guys ,just great,really enjoy your videos.Weve just come back from S A with a week in Botswana,stayed at Kasane really enjoyed it.Did the early morning game and the sunset cruise,just spectacular.Didnt want to come home,PS did Elephant sands aswell.Sorry for going on a bit.Take care and enjoy.
I am loving your chanell, and am just a little.....okay a lot....... jealous of this part as the Serengeti is on my bucket list. Just some advice. Please don't stand that close to a kinetic rope or winch cable/rope during a recovery, even a small recovery. If something fails on a vehicle it can cause a piece of metal from the vehicle to become a projectile and you could be seriously injured or killed.
Thanks for the advice we are generally pretty careful with standing away from winch lines etc maybe slipped here a little since we were doing so many 😂
My brother has a safari company in Tz and says that his Landrovers always have to rescue Landcruisers. Not a lot of companies have Landrovers anymore as the tourist prefer Landcruisers
What an incredible experience! The balloon was an amazing way to get up close to the animals!!👌 The Toyota looked like it kept sinking ass first. Was it really heavily loaded down on the back axle?
wow that was intense 😮💨😁 had some kind of similar experiences but even more crazy almost and can confirm how good it feels to finally arrive edit: hot air balloon in the serengeti? the. dream.
@@TheLandyExpedition the older cruiser. Did it maybe have manual locking lockers? It is an old narrow nose (possibly older than the landy) and i don't think it would have auto lockers in which case possibly at a bit of a disadvantage?
Your mate in the Landcruiser is too aggressive on the throttle when trying to get out of a stuck position .I was an overland driver, and found best things to carry for mud were snow chains. Sand/mud mats can be rather dangerous ,having a tendency to be spat out and can hit either people or damage the vehicle especially the fuel tank.
Can assure you nothing is “staged” in our videos. Not really about making more work for ourselves in these types of situations. Glad you enjoyed though 😛

It was a hell of a day! I think we did 8 recoveries.. not what you expect when you pay all that money to go into the Serengeti 😂
Most sensible reply I read so far. Toyota not the car of choice in the serengti for nothing and rental drivers are blessed to have other around.
The relief, when we saw the bridge wasn’t flooded over!
Yeah we were so relived hey. That would have been a long turn back 😂
Best one yet! 🎉
Yay! Thank you!

Propper off-roading! Loved every second of it! It comes to show you do not need an good off road vehicles but you also need proper mud tyres..
Tyres are everything!

Awesomeness South Africa Durban
Thank you ☺️
It’s not an adventure, until things go pear shaped. :)
That’s for sure ☺️🙌
My brother has a safari company in Tz and says that his Landrovers always have to rescue Landcruisers. Not a lot of companies have Landrovers anymore as the tourist prefer Landcruisers
They are kings of the mud! And the bush in my opinion 😉
What an incredible experience!
The balloon was an amazing way to get up close to the animals!!👌
The Toyota looked like it kept sinking ass first. Was it really heavily loaded down on the back axle?
The rear end was incredibly heavy on that cruiser for sure
I would agree with Harry. It seemed like a rather poor design. Only ever seen V8 Landcuiser 79's pulling that off.
wow that was intense 😮💨😁 had some kind of similar experiences but even more crazy almost and can confirm how good it feels to finally arrive
edit: hot air balloon in the serengeti? the. dream.
Such an adventure!
Is that cruiser in 4x2 mode?
Is what I thought when they kept getting stuck but I checked it and all four or least 3 wheels were spinning when clutch was out
@@TheLandyExpedition the older cruiser. Did it maybe have manual locking lockers? It is an old narrow nose (possibly older than the landy) and i don't think it would have auto lockers in which case possibly at a bit of a disadvantage?
what time of the year was this? Great video!
Landrover is indeed the best 4x4xfar.
We agree!
Would you recommend a petrol or diesel 4x4 for overlanding around uk or Europe?
We have a diesel and would recommend that ☺️
Welcome to the marshmallow club
😂
👍🏻
👍🏻
Was this in March or April as it raining heavily now in Tanzania
This was in January..
List of bad asses
1. The Continent of Africa
2. The landy
>>>>end of list
And Chloe of course! She’s bad ass 😉
Was this still rainy season? Would be the reason for so much mud.
Memorable for the wrong reason indeed.
We still had a great experience!☺️
What was up with that Toyota? Wrong tyres? This day will have created stories you will tell your grand-children!
Tyres were pretty worn to be fair.. and indeed like most days in Africa always a story at the end of it
H
as well as very heavy by the look of it,..and DRIVER is a Huge factor of it all
The driver.
Your mate in the Landcruiser is too aggressive on the throttle when trying to get out of a stuck position .I was an overland driver, and found best things to carry for mud were snow chains. Sand/mud mats can be rather dangerous ,having a tendency to be spat out and can hit either people or damage the vehicle especially the fuel tank.

Glad you enjoyed though 😛
@@TheLandyExpedition I am an experienced 4x4 driver in South Africa, if you cannot drive a Toyota from that position then something is wrong.
@@bredsj agree 100%
Not what you expect ?? ohh yes it is if you are in the Serengeti in middle of the wet short or long rainy seasons in black cotton soil.
It wasn’t supposed to be rainy season!
@@TheLandyExpedition When were you there ?
Landrover beats Toyota i guess...
We agree!
They are topi, not roan.
You are correct 🙌
