In this episode I am invited to visit the Drummond Farm 80km from Beitbridge on the Bulawayo road where we hand out some soccer balls to a local school. From there I visit Sebakwe Recreational park where I stay for the night before heading to Zvimba to a community run tennis coaching clinic where I hand out some tennis rackets and tennis balls and then head for Harare for a get together.

This has instantly become my favourite overlanding channel. I came across your youtube link on the 4x4 community page. I drive an Amarok 132kW 4x2 D/C and God willing once I can afford a good 4x4, I definitely want to start my overlanding journey. My wife is from Bulawayo and we thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Keep up the awesome content!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Use the Amarok. They are great vehicles and will get you just about everywhere I have been on all my trips. Only places you may have problems is some of the river crossings where there was deep sand. Thank you so much for your support and please send my regards to your wife.

Just awesome video Bruce and an amazing initiative. Sitting here in London (I’m from CT) and thinking how you can expand Chasing Smiles. I’ve always thought of going around collecting my sons’ and his friends football shirts (sorry, can’t bring myself to calling it soccer 😂) and getting these down to you to hand out to the kids in Botswana, Zim and SA. I see the kids here go through brand new premier league jerseys every season and growing out of them so I think a well planned collection drive here can bring in hundreds of awesome quality original Nike, Adidas, Puma etc shirts… I’m going to see what can be done !! Following all your adventures already! Will revert

Thanks for great series giving an honest view of Zim .Just one point though why do the Drummonds not buy a few balls for their staff and have staff quarters been improved

@OverlandingwithBruce 4 месяца назад
Thank you. They do a lot for their staff and the communities around them for example they have chicken breeding pens that breed chickens to feed the community and a bunch of other initiatives also. It was the Drummond’s that also invited me there to hand out the balls to the local school. Thank you for watching and commenting

Did you smell the morning air rising from the dam water early in the morning , particularly like the afternoon breeze from the dam where i come from in Zimbabwe we dont have water bodies to explore like what i see here i last had the experience at Mazvikadei dam and Masiye Camp dam south of Matopos thats where i learnt how to row a boat canoe on my own as part of resilience training from our NGO way back 2004

Good day Mr Bruce. I have just subscribed,finish watching this episode and explored this channel. I'm in Botswana at Serowe village near Khama Rhino sanctuary and I enjoyed much since I love nature and animals. I also commend you for making episodes a bit longer. The question I would like to ask is what are the basic things you need for camping for first time campers for example if I rent a 4x4.
@OverlandingwithBruce
@OverlandingwithBruce Год назад
thank you very much for your support and subscription. Everybody has their preferences to the kit they need but I always tell people, make sure you can sit, sleep, eat and drink comfortably and the rest will come. We all tend to carry so much unnecessary kit that usually costs a fortune and it's really not needed although it is nice to have. I always use the example of my grandparents who managed to travel Southern Africa 70+ years ago in a Morris minor with no dual battery, no fridge, no gas cookers, no fancy things to boil water or fancy pots and no solar or fancy bumpers or "upgraded" suspension and they had far less tarred roads compared to what we have now. Keep it simple and then you won't end up with a bunch of unused camping stuff in the future.
