Overlanding 4 countries in 3 days! | In Our Land Rover Defender Camper

- We should probably explain why we were rushing through these beautiful countries to get to Tanzania. We had to leave Africa unexpectedly for a family matter, the time we spent away from the continent left us with little time to get up to Dar Es Salaam. We were meeting my brother Charlie and best mate Phil in Dar Es Salaam, they were coming out to meet us and spend a month on the road with us.
This is the story of the mammoth journey across 4 countries to hopefully reach the Dar airport to surprise the boys as they arrive. (We had told them we were going to be 2 days late)
We hope you enjoy this video!
Harry & Chloe.
**P.S. This video was filmed in December 2023!
You also may be wondering why Harry says that we haven't camped in a month, well we had to make an emergency visit back to the U.K. for reasons we will keep private. Hope you guys understand our wishes.

The joys of border crossings in Africa 😮
Yep 😬😂
Well done! You deserve a special award for driving in the most stressful conditions. Now for some fun.
Haha thank you so much! You’ll see how we awarded ourselves in next weeks video!
Not sure on this occasion but they do put the router off in order for cash payment- so they can skim- also to get you into a town for an ATM where people will be ‘expecting you’ - so remember to take care too 🙏
That’s interesting to read, thanks for this 🙌
Thanks!
Thank you so much ☺️
What team do you surport 😂great vid guys keep it coming
Dave🏴
Thank you! 🤣
Cash is king when over landing . Great job on this trip . And seeing your brother and friend . Made it worth all the stress and boarder crossings . Thanks for another wonderful video . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌍🍻😁👍🏼…P.S. great over view of your star link set up .
Cash most definitely is king!! We have learnt that the hard way a few times now, you’d think we would have learnt that by now 😂
It was all worth it in the end and was a reward to visit Zanzibar with the guys 🙌☺️
@@TheLandyExpedition ..😁👍🏼
@@TheLandyExpedition It is even more important for East African checkpoints in case there is "fine you can pay at the checkpoint." My tip would be to have two wallets in the car; one for checkpoints with a small value (circa $20-50) and one for everything else well hidden.
Still can’t believe you were there when we arrived, i was ADAMANT we’d see you in a couple of days 😂🙈
I have a new respect for what you guys did to meet us there… border crossings 😩😂🙈
😂😂 gotta love the boarder crossing Philly!
Just finished a similar distance road trip in 5 days on mostly interstate highways, without border crossing drama. I can’t imagine doing it on mostly dirt and potholed 2 lanes, with all the corrupt road blocks, and border crossings.😩
You guys are animals!
(and young) lol
Cheers
Wow that’s awesome! Thanks so much! 🙌
Impressive mileage. We found that our 300Tdi would go forever, but it tended to be the clutch master and slave cylinders that would go more often than anything else. Always worth picking up a spare.
Interesting, we’ve had the same clutch for 5+ years now. Probably time to change it out soon:.
Cheers
When travelling in foreign countries we always carry enough cash in the appropriate currency to cover one tank of fuel Always use my Monzo card on our travels. 😁 Loving your travels - travel safe!😁
That’s a really good habit to be in! I wish we had done this 😬
Well done guys…the power of perseverance and a worthy goal. Thoroughly enjoyed watching🤩👍🏻
Thanks so much ☺️
This was some surprise!
Hahah it was!
Great Video. We felt for you both, travelling so far in a Landy in all that heat. The reward at the end made it all worthwhile. Safe Travels.
Thank you so much ☺️
Howdy Landies! Nice camp and pool after a long hot day! Heaven eh? What no dip in the river?? Imagine that! 🐊
I was in Moz and after bribes in cash for border issues I ended up with Only 3 dollars to last a week…like you the cards did not work! Oh well…saddle up and carry on! Thanks for the share!
Thank you! Yes, I think there are crocs 😬
That’s crazy!
Well done , epic journey for sure . African border crossings, not for people who don't have patience 🙄.
Thank you! Haha that’s for sure!😳
Interesting to see the section on the Starlink. I am considering purchasing one and I have the same Manager 30 and solar blanket set up so this was spot on. Great content as usual!
We are really happy with our Starlink! That’s awesome 🙌
Camping spots nice content epic
Thanks ☺️
Well done you two, your videos are so pro now, you really tell the story & keep us interested. Looking forward your next adventure with your family, alles van die beste.
Thank you! That is so lovely to read!☺️
Well done you guys, nice one, also nice to see someone named a boat after me 😉
Thank you! Haha yes ☺️
Nice drive. Well done.
Thank you 🙌
Wow. What a journey. Fair play to you both for that. 🎉🎉
Thanks so much ☺️🙌
Well worth your effort to see your brother 👍
For sure ☺️🙌
Nice trip 👍
Thanks 🙌☺️
WOW! I am really impressed! Well done! I know the route you drove quite well, especially the Malawian and Tanzanian bit. Did you see some elephants driving through Mikumi? And yes, the road blocks in Tanzania with their greedy policemen are a total PITA!
Thank you! It was a long journey but worth it!
Yes, very greedy policeman 😬
I remember a particularly feisty policeman a few years ago, jumping in front of my car on the road to Iringa, brandishing a bizarre handheld "radar" made of styrofoam and cardbox, with a peculiar looking "dial" stuck at 66 mph, accusing me of speeding. I gravely made him aware that the road was riddled with potholes and that I was in no way feeling suicidal, God beware!
May be his batteries were flat, as I did not see any lights blinking on his "display" to confirm the shot he had just made of me? Could this be the reason for his dial to be stuck at such high speed? Would he like me to fix his radar and tare it as I was an IT-engineer?
He sent me empty handed with a huff on my way .@@TheLandyExpedition

I would find it interesting if "the needed documents" could be named once! Insurance and Carne De Passage (Trip-ticket) being only one of them I suppose
Varies in each country but most of the time it’s passport, carnet, tax, insurance.
Some counties still make us purchase a TIP even though we have a carnet.
Well, I hope you have a Carnet with the 25 pages and even that might run out in 12 months with so many border crossings back and forth 😀 I know you guys entered and exited Zimbabwe twice and now Mozambique too. Are you guys backtracking to Zimbabwe or going to continue East Africa?
Those Carnet pages are going to run out soon before 12 months lol
Can you do a TIP in some of those countries when you re-enter? I know Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, Namibia and Botswana will do TIP for land crossings and even Tanzania. Malawi and Kenya used to require Carnet but they could have changed by now and issue TIP.
We have actually exited and entered Zimbabwe 3 times now. As we explained in the description of this video, we had to make an unexpected trip back to the UK for family reasons. Left our Landy in Harare and then had to rush up to Tanzania in time for Charlie and Phil’s arrival.
On our return back to the UK we ordered a new carnet, not because the pages were going to run out but because our carnet was due to expire and we have to renew it for our continued travel in 2024.
We hope you enjoyed the video ☺️
@@TheLandyExpedition Yeah, I knew before it started that you were not going to do it in 3 days lol 6 is not bad with 4 border crossing. I thought you left your car in Zimbabwe when you went to UK?
I figured you for tea drinkers more than coffee drinkers lol Try the Tanzanian Peaberry and Kenya AA. Both are excellent coffee beans. Ethiopia has some great Arabica beans as well.
Hi Guys can you please let us know how effective/efficient your portable aircon unit is. Tx
It’s ok, we haven’t used it much at all. Once or twice. For the size of the unit in the small space we have is just too big 😬
Welcome to Tanzania, Unfortuntelly you will not be able to use your Starlink 😜
Thank you ☺️
😎👍

If y'all don't mind me asking but do y'all have some way of protecting yourselves being in such remote places.
Carrying any kind of a weapon is a big no no and not required. This is not the dog-eat-dog culture of the US.
Rural Africa is generally very safe (unless you are stupid enough to travel in a conflict zone). You are seen as a guest and treated as such. All campsites have a guard and if wild camping, if you seek out the permission of the local chief/village elder, you will have no issues. Bigger issues in cities where petty theft and personal safety is more of a concern as is the case anywhere in the world.
We’ve never felt the need to carry any weapon for protection. We’ve never felt unsafe.
is that Yara Hanseen
Yes ☺️
