Cutlines are there to prevent bushfires spreading and help in the firefighting proses

Excellent as always, Bruce. Thanks for taking me from Western Canada back home.

Been overlanding since the early 1960's, from Hluhluwe to Nigramoep, from Alldays to Agulhas. Never owned a bakkie, let alone a 4x4. We used Opel, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, 2WD Toyota, Peugeot 404, and enjoyed every minute of overlanding. Even did it in a 1973 Audi 100S. Boy, do I frown when I see the macho "builds" from Down Under 😂😂. No, buy something that can drive from the showroom to Daberas. 😊🎉. Oh, the only kit we ever needed was a cake tin with padkos and a thermos flask of coffee, and a tough plastic 2l bottle of water.

The ice cream vendors haven’t changed since 1985! Did you ever have green mamba ice creams from the Dairy Den, or ice cream birthday cakes at Putt Putt? I can’t remember what the ice cream in Coca Cola was called but loved that too. The simple things!

Nice one. U put a smile 😊 on our mama at the kiosk on your short stop there

Howzit, Bruce? The Vampire is not a T 11, no matter what they think. T11s were side by side two-seaters.

Dear Mr. Bruce, I've been watching your RUclips videos on a daily basis, and I thoroughly enjoy the way you present them. There are two episodes that I particularly enjoy watching: the first is when you visited the triple point of Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Zambia in Kanyemba, and the 'Chasing Smiles' episode 3, where you went to the triple point of South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. What I'd like to find out from you, sir, is whether you have plans to make a video about the triple point of South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, located along the Shashe River and Limpopo River on either side? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response."

Wow, Greenwood Park, St George’s College (I only got as far as Hartmann House, but swam many lengths of that pool), cross country runs in the Botanical Gardens, Borrowdale Road was the daily school run back home to Alex Park. Used to be able to hear the race course commentator from the garden. Many trips to the lion and cheetah park too. So many weekends at Lake Mac. I know this was a couple of years ago so you might not read this, but thank you so much for filming and sharing if you do. Stirred up so many emotions. Happiest days of my life.

Hey Bruce! What time of year was this trip and where the flies an issue at all the campsites?

Love your videos. Zimbabwe is such a beautiful place. Hopefully more people venture there

What a wonderful episode Bruce. Keep it up. Every time I watch these they remind me of mt home and motherland Zimbabwe. Thank you Bruce.

Following our conversation about Chitake, I have concerning and disconcerning news about chitake. I was in Chitake2- campsite and at 6pm I had the fire going and as you adviced had a few lights on, sitting in my chair, next to the car. Then I heard a Lion contact calling, difficult to tell how far, but the fourth time it became clear that it was not too far, 100m or less? Straight ahead. So to deter I shone my spotlight, but a few bushes were in the way, so I couldn't see. The next call was suddenly and unexpectedly to my right, and when I directed the spotlight that way , less then 15 meters away a Lioness casually walked by. As if I was not there, nor the lights nor the fire. Later she came back and roared the most of the night, 20 meters away , just behind the bushes of the campsite and later another one 60m away (saw the marks where they laid down the next day). Each night the lions were roaring like crazy coming from all directions, but not far away. Concerning that the Lion was not deterred at all, disconcerning because clearly I as a human was not on the menu... ..this time.

Thank you for your stunning impressions! Mana Pools is wonderful! For uns one of the best NP in Zimbabwe!

Superb videos on your channel, thank you!

Hi mate what GPS MAPS do you use for Zimbabwe. Thanks

Thanks Bruce ❤

Congratulations, hope you are prosperous in your new adventure. Please get hold of me if you ever need any help on the zim side

👍

Behind all the beauty and adventure lies a harsh reality for the people who have suffered much.

Hi. My brother inlaw is the estate manager. Been there for a number of years. I have passed this video on to him. If you go back, I can give you his number and he can take you around.

Bruce, honestly I love how you add some humor in your commentary. I think you should try comedy as well (pun intended) 🤣🤣🤣🤣. All the same, I love your content my brother very informative, spot on, I have learnt a lot about my country from your videos, keep it up. I am a Zimbabwean living in Russsia and your videos makes me miss home so so much.

Always thoroughly enjoy your Zimbabwe adventures. You really had a tine there on the Zambezi. And for the smiles you always put on those kids, I'm very grateful.

Putting smiles on those kids' faces is such an awesome deed indeed Bruce. I think I can safely call you "Shamwari Ye Zimbabwe'(Friend Of Zimbabwe.)

what an adventure💯

I keep coming back and watch your videos Bruce. They are really awesome.

Is it safe for a single camper

Good day Mr Bruce. I just finished enjoying this episode. This is real bush camping it looks wild and I Love it. I think visiting Zimbabwe should be on my bucket list.

Thanks!

My Zimbabwean brother thank you. Next time try nyamapanda then cross zambezi from Tete drive into Zambia then Centenary up to vic falls. God bless you. Amen

This is stunning.

Master Bruce, you are taking long to release your videos 😢😢

Great video, can I make it with a road caravan to the campsite? I drive a 4x2 bakkie.

This is amazing woooowww so blown away😳😳😳😳😳

Great travel report Bruce. Now we are actually sorry we did not visit Chewore when being so close, staying in Mana Pools. Looks brilliant. But more reason to come back of course. Look forward to the seeing the next episode and your trip to the highlands! Cheers Remco PS you are so right about the cost of the Chitake camp. Would be worthwhile partnering up with another traveller and share the cost.

Outstanding and awesome.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Shock issues again Bruce I would drop the tyre pressures to 1.8 bar but the problem with independent suspension and particularly where you have a significant deviation from vertical the shocks are worked hard this is why most Aussie vans with independent suspension have double shocks. Almarie likes to rub it in "in your face Bruce" 🤣😂🤣😂

Your videos are great you showed us Kanyemba where Luangwa joins now when you in the area, point out where the kafue joins which is bigger than the Luangwa, it would be great thank

Such true words are the start. I love your reflections on people you meet. I have had some wonderful trps though southern Africa and 99.999999% of people I meet (and I make it a point to stop off at village stops to buy snacks) are the most wonderful people you could meet. The only people that haven't, have been people in uniform, but you get that everywhere. Love your travel videos and honest thoughts you present as you drive around.

hey Bruce...i am following u up since day one....just one question...how many kms so far has your defender...thanks mate from Australia

Thanks

Absolutely wonderful videos. 60 days until we pick up a 4WD in Johannesburg and drive to Gonarezhou and then Mana Pools. Your videos have provided so much information for our pre-trip planning and getting our excitement levels up. Big thank you for making and posting there wonderful videos.

Thank you Bruce for showcasing the beauty of one of the small province in the country called Africa

i fell in love with this episode, first tym watching and u have certainly gained a subscriber. Brilliant content from the commentary to the actual filming. Thanks again 2 Canaan for the brilliant hospitality, these guys are unsung hereos...

Lovely camera work and story in an exquisite region! Thanks for sharing Bruce! An extended Zimbabwe safari is definitely on the list for the near(ish) future.

Master Bruce I am watching both of you nice video. Thanks for sharing your experience. Akoma Zimbabwe

Hey Bruce. You probably don’t remember me (also a Turner) but when you trek through Malawi again get in touch. Better yet, bring your dad up here. Our dads were friends many moons ago. Have a spot on the lake and camp regularly in the AP parks. Great show btw, congrats.

Thank u Bruce; I enjoy watching your episodes and your genuine passion for your trails… I wish I travel with you next time…

I must confess to never having heard of chewore so this video is great! So weight for weight who won?

I always like before watching 😂😂

Much anticipated new content! I always enjoy your videos Bruce! looking forward to the next few!
