    In this off roading adventure, I travel with great friends and explore the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe. 9 vehicles, 5 campsites, and 8 days of overlanding in Southern Africa's last true wilderness area. This is wild Africa and one not to miss.

    Those Beatles are what we called Christmas beetles. They come around December summer rainfall time. I grew up outside Mussina. If you hold them and press them gently they make this nice noise, used to love it as a child. I think its an african cicada. Read this poem ... The wild doves at Louis Trichardt

One will argue that it's the reason why our borders are secure, but there is a small difference sometimes between adamant and cluelessness

    • @4x4ventures_southafrica
      @4x4ventures_southafrica  13 дней назад

      I’ve done one in the past. Maybe have a look through the channel. Although I don’t really explain the gas geyser setup. It works well. 6ltr per minute geyser, and a 12 ltr per minute pump. I have a 2m gas hose to connect to a gas bottle if need be. I have found that it is easier for me to use the shower in the middle of the days and as a result I very rarely use the Quickpitch gas geyser for hot water. The pump I purchased from Frontrunner. Hope this helps
