Thanks for a great vlog on Van Zyl's Pass, you did a great job documenting something of what the 15kms entailed, and so prepared those who might like to come after you what to expect, it's definitely not for the faint hearted or ill-prepared.

Well done 3 musketeers!!! Great episode guys.
Wow! Amazing adventure! Epic! Enjoyed every minute, well done guys!
Another epic video guys!
This is the most thrilling episode you gents ever produced. It felt like I was watching a thriller movie, I don't know when last didn't sit on the edge of the couch, teeth clinched and having a commentary on my own. The segment at 30 minutes with Ed's trailer and the last challenge was hella nerve wrecking, but with those breath taking views, it was all worth it. This deserves a Netflix feature, I'm so impressed *as I bow down* 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you!
You had the most difficult challenge......a trailer to Handel as well
This was amazing watching
Van Zyl pass 😱😱😱😱
Gents now that was an adventure 10/10. Adding this route to my bucket list, but this one must be done ☑️. Excellent film work and love the episode. Ed well done for taking a trailer on this one.
It's incredible how Namibia looks to many parts of Saudi Arabia. Truly a beautiful country.
Hey you guys are real adventurers, you have nerves of steel. I wouldn't even think of going through those treacherous passes. Very entertaining though. Keep us amused. Thanks
what an episode, ithought youll end up in the pass
❤❤❤❤❤ I so the Fortuner today beautiful off-road car on beyers
Waiting for the next episode! Loving your adventures!
You guys are amazing. The road is a little like Moab in the U s. Thank you so much.
Mmmmmm guys i know you are exploring your life adventure but there is so much danger on these roads hope all the best for your adventure the roads aint no good at all. You put your lives at risk. I enjoyed watching this but wooow it made my stumach crunchy
Many thanks for posting, I did a two week self drive camping safari in Namibia in October 2022. You brought back some great memories. I absolutely loved Spitzkoppe. A special thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪
Awesome 👏
This adventure is so frightening 😮
Guys all I can say is WOW! Your teamwork over the Pass is 1st rate! Following all your channels, I think this may be your best episode EVER and I love them ALL! I am in AWE!

Thankyou for sharing with us your traveling's . Not many places comes close to those areas you have driven . Important to do it with some good friends /maters .Sometimes friendships can be tested on such long and hard drives .Save traveling's for you all .
Welcome to Namibia 🇳🇦❤️ When we say land of the Brave, this is what we mean 😃, Great Job navigating those roads 👌🏾
Brilliant storytelling! Brings back such enjoyable memories. Thank you for showing that beautiful landscape.
That journey was so very difficult. ...But i just say thanks legends because you managed to get there..I was just afraid for Mr Edward's trailer but he managed to get out from those horrible roads...BIG SHOUT TO YOU 4X4VENTURES💚
What an adventure, well done boys, awesome episode.💥
great video guys nd love to watch u learn so much to how to drive when u r there on this kind of road
Great filming work! You did this video justice! Lots of love from Namibia!
Love how that old Fortuner is just handling it all, I do have one 2012 with 126km and just using it to camp with all the mods, what a camp example of a car. Love your work mate.
This is awesome 👌🏾. I discovered this channel about a month ago, and I'm hooked. As a Namibian, I'm very proud of this. I never really knew that this place existed 😅.
All my familly was with you during your dangerous crossing of that stony slope. Your film was fantastic. A lot of energy to your next adventures. Do not stop. All the best from Prague. Roman + familly
This is like Snowrunner, SA Edition.
Wow wow, thank you for taking us along, it's a trip we'd never be able to do but felt we were there with you guys. Awesome, next level and everything else. Thank you so much. Greetings from the UK.
You guys displayed insane levels of bravery by undertaking this adventure... Wow!!!! Your driving skills are superb: "MAGIC". Talk of resilience and calmness. And Chris' mental strength is incredible; that big obstacle with cars rolled over; all he sees is solutions. Thank you guys for sharing.
Now this is an adventure the whole squad together again can't wait for the next episode keep them coming chaps..
Part 2 finally out❤... waited so long for it..
Unfortunately these episodes take around 2 months each to edit. Thanks for watching
Great technical driving. Awesome episode
Gents!!! This wasn't an episode, it was a movie!! Great work from you 3, what a crazy couple of days!! As a Fortuner owner, I just love that Chris calmly leads the way with very little fuss and drama ;-). Keep up the great work guys, can't wait for Episode 3.
This is such a great review of Northern Namib and Van Zyl's Pass. Some stunning footage and proper info, probably your best work to date. Can not wait for the next episode. Well done OE.
Espetacular. África é Linda
After watching Ep 1 of you Namibia adventure, I've been looking forward to Ep 2 and you guys didn't disappoint. What an adventure! Looking forward to Ep 3 🤠
Epic journey. However, there is a saying that U HAVE NEVER BEEN TO KUNENE IF U HAVE NOT BEEN TO SERRA CAFEMA wilderness and Camp further west of Epupa falls along the Kunene river. I hope u reached that landscape marvel. If not then put it on Yr next itinerary.
Wow that was wonderful, plenty of work one can see. Congrats to all 3 of you on a great video 🙏🇿🇦
Okay. Two comments in one vlog. Lol. Your video quality. It’s next level. Not just the behind the camera positioning etc but the equipment must be state of the art. I for one, watch more RUclips than DSTV or Netflix. And I can say with all honestly that your videography is far beyond that of other international vlogs that have way bigger budgets than you. It’s taken me nearly two and a half hours to watch this because I keep pausing to view the spots we are also at. Your video quality has me right there, while sitting on my couch. Superb. This is award winning stuff. Can’t compliment you enough.
It’s so sad to hear about crime on Van Zyls. Namibia is a country I’ve never felt safer in. This truly brakes my heart.
Carry on legends. ✌🏻👍🏻
The reason you haven't seen animals in the area of Puros is because of the routes you took. Going up the Puros river in a western direction towards the ocean is a lot of water. There are lots of elephants as well as driving in the Huanib river. There are plenty of Giraffes, Gemsbok, Springbo, Rhino
Wow, what a trip. You had us glued to the screen in suspense! Really stunning episode! Looking forward to watching the next one!
Chris is brave, that drop is insane. I like his optimistic mood.
Lekka🔥awesome episode. Nee another beer after all the rock packing.
Thanks Boet!
@@OverlandingEscape 🔥🔥
My heart was in my mouth for so much of this Adventure! How you all managed to keep calm and persevere is a huge testament to your skills guys. Bloody mammoth effort ❤ Cannot wait for the next part.
Thanks!
Very beautiful guys. That is a great trip. Love the experience you have. 🙏👍👌✌️✌️
Thank you!
Ah Van Zyl's, what a road. Went up it from Camp Syncro a couple years ago with broken suspension.
Ansolutely amazing! Not for me, realise I'm not enough of a driver, but thankyou so much for sharing what I otherwise would not see
Absolute magic gents. Great great video. Living my dream
Thanks Craig!
Ed, what you've done with that 100 is great. The mods have turned it from a big soft family wagon to a beast.
Ryan, the new lighter colour scheme on the Ranger works really well. It was a bit too dark before, but now I think the white on black works well.
Chris, I think you've shown why the Fortuner is the best seller in it's segment in South Africa. It's scope of ability is fantastic. It made everything look like a Sunday stroll and didn't skip a beat.
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! You guys really excelled with this production. Brilliant scenes and I'm sure the most exciting, nerve racking trip you've done. Well done guys - thanks for the shares and the unbelievable entertainment. Cheers!!
Thanks Alan!
I watched the episode last night and I loved it.❤
That must have been scary crossing the Pas,
And those 2 cars ddnt do justice calming everyone down😮
Great job as always!
Now this is the best content I've ever seen on van zyl's. Thanks for this very informative and enjoyed every moment of it. Long wait though. Love the colab work you guys are doing.
Absolutely epic guys! What a ripper of a trip, and so well documented. If this doesn’t inspire overlanding, nothing will.
Oh, that was a brilliant episode fellas. The Marienfluss footage is remarkable and I had to rewatch it again and again:D Thank you fellas for this treat!!
Awesome video and this is probably a trip of a lifetime. I made this trip in 1984 twice via Van Zyl’s pass. You needed nuts to take this route. Different environment and roads at the time. Kaokoland is just an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Greetings from Namibia.
Well worth the wait. Seeing a part of Africa we know nothing about. I'm amazed your trucks didn't rattle apart. Agree with Ryan, short on wildlife, but amazing scenery. Can't wait for Etosha.
Thanks Doug!
Look great 😍
I feel sorry for the vehicles...Ed with the trailer but find it very tough
This episode was as scary as it was awesome. Prime viewing by any standard. Really hoping to do this one myself one day. Never stop the fantastic material.
Eish guys, an epic, scenic thriller!!! This was next level amazing, had me on the edge of my perch!! Thanks so much.
Thank you!
Why is Edward the one that was stressing at Heartbreak hill, when it is Ryan who is driving the Ford? 😂
Only joking guys, I just had to. 😊.
That seems like a really tough road, so well done. 🎉
The resilience you and your Bakkies have deserves respect, great overlanding,great camera work,and good team work. Patiently waiting for another episode.
Namibians will be doing that time.
Proudly Namibian,being following since you came into Namibia from Rundu🎉kudos guys
Omg, you guys are amazing and my respect for you as 4 x 4 drivers has increased 100-fold! I was s...ting myself just watching you on the downhill
But what an adventure and an amazing achievement, well done!
Hi Edward, Chris and Ryan. I throughly enjoyed your 2 episodes on the Namibia trip. Weldone guys. You guys are legends.
Thanks Gerald!
This is most probably the best overlanding episode ever I do watch a number of other channels even some international channels and this is way better than anything I ever watched.
The Van Zyl Pass the scenery and all the camera work are just exceptional.
I think all three cars are really great for these types of adventures and the trailer and Toyota combo is just awesome (not to take anything away from the Ford, in actual fact I think the Ford really did great)
The best ever!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Hey guys, you really did it with this episode. The landscape, raw, dry, rough, desolate, hostile, yet so beautiful - your videography really does it all justice, great stuff. The drive over Van Zyls must have been nailbiting, it had me squirming in my chair. It is also beautiful to see the cameradrie between you three guys. Ooh how I would like to be there with you guys. Thanks for sharing this experience with us in such a excellent video. Cheers, Ingo.
This looks so awesome Christoff. And expertly shot/edited. Kudos for putting together a great film.
Thanks Will! Team effort though, props to Ryan and Ed!
Wow, this was indeed an adventure, I was at the edge of my seat when Chris went 1st on that steep hill descend were other cars did not make it, it was really close. I couldn't watch further, I looked away when I saw his Fortuner sliding on its own. I thought this is it. And taking care of the Israeli couple, magic. Is that not what Ubuntu is about?. Greatest show ever.
Thanks David!
Fantastic video as always, Ed, Ryan & Chris. Hopefully you will upload more frequent videos on this channel like your individual channel.
Thank you! The reality is our individual channels pay the bills (i.e. Patreon) and these OE productions are much more time consuming and costly to create; to give you an idea, this series was shot with 13 different cameras and we generated about 3TB of raw footage. This series also cost R150k+ to make (excluding damage to the cars).
Bottom line is, the more support we receive on Patreon the more regular the episodes will be.
When is the next episode... Cant wait
Yeah, the camera does flatten the road!
Still, it looks like you traded in your overlander for a rock crawler in spots.
Really awesome. I just can't understand Ryan's comment when he mentioned they were rigged for overlanding, and this is much more. Seems to me they all crew and vehicles handled it well. Another point I am curious about is why did the camera charging became a problem as the long driving hours should allow sufficient charging time. Maybe the advice on how to avoid it will help as most people will probably now wondering how to make our current charging facilities better? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again for the great video and the sharing to all.
Thanks! A lot vehicles that do Van Zyls have 35 inch tyres which would be ideal and give alot more clearance. With regards to the charging, the roads were so rough we had to secure everything in the cars properly. To the point that the batteries wouldn’t even stay in their chargers and cables wouldn’t stay in the plug points.
@@OverlandingEscape Thanks, really appreciated.
What time of year is your Nam trip? I think you should make a note of it in your videos. Love your work!
This was October 2022. Thanks!
