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.
Hi Brad. Was your dad’s name Lionel by any chance. I think I remember a Lionel Turner. Now that sounds like a great plan. Please email me your contact details to bruce@owb.co.za and let me know your dad’s name so I can tell my old man too. Thank you and thank you for watching
Thank u Bruce; I enjoy watching your episodes and your genuine passion for your trails… I wish I travel with you next time…
Thank you very much and thank you for watching
I must confess to never having heard of chewore so this video is great! So weight for weight who won?
Thanks for watching Tim. Let’s not worry about unimportant things like weight please 😂
@@OverlandingwithBruce 🤪saw you posted it the end 😂
I always like before watching 😂😂
Haha thank you very much. Really appreciate that
Much anticipated new content! I always enjoy your videos Bruce! looking forward to the next few!
Thank you very much and thank you for watching
Your laugh after talking about cooking its diabolical 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Leave my laugh alone 😂
I was patiently waiting for this episode 🔥
Thank you for waiting. I hope it was worth the wait
Love your Zim escapades Bruce. Please keep them rolling 🇿🇼
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it. I will hopefully keep doing them. Thank you for watching and commenting
Great content again by OWB and Chasing Smiles. I just crack when you giggle Hehehe, in that voice!
Hehe don’t talk about my laugh 😂 Thank you for watching Zweli 👍
Thank you for the great episode Bruce , can't wait to go and have a fishing competition with my family. Beautiful Zimbabwe
Thanks very much. Yes it was so much fun. Thank you for watching
That is some serious Tigers you were catching! Very impressive
I know isn’t it crazy. We had a great captain and teacher. Thank you for watching
AMAZING vid, mate. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Bruce, what a great experience, stunning views of so much game & the river. Well done El on catching the biggest Tiger 😅. Looking forward to the next episode! ❤
Thank you. Let’s not talk about Elmarie and her fish please 😂 Thank you for watching
Thank you for visiting. We welcome to Zimbabwe you ,friends and family. I looking for you
Thank you and thank you for watching
He's Zimbabwean.
@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 I was born in Zim but don’t live there anymore so I’m technically South African now.
i was today years old when i learnt we had dinasour footprints in zim... i need to go asap
There are actually several locations with footprints and some even with "bones". Totally amazing. Did you see this video where I visited the footprints?ua-cam.com/video/3RPothaxMyM/v-deo.html (Zimbabwe Unknown) Thank you so much for watching
Zimbabwe is beautiful ❤Thanks Bruce as always for the spectacular content
Absolutely it is. Thank you for watching Blessing.
Spectacular sunset and sunrise @chewore!!! Thank you Bruce for wonderful safari trip in our motherland Zimbabwe… A land of wonders!!
I know right. There is something about sunsets and sunrises in the Zambezi valley. They are always spectacular. Thank you for watching and commenting
@@OverlandingwithBruce true the sunrise and sunset of the Zambezi valley is outstanding!!! Can’t wait for my upcoming trip in mana this July
@@charleschare6624 have a great trip.
Brilliant content all the time
Thank you so much Fungai and thank you for watching
Allways wonder why some people catch fish put do not eat them. But I enoyed the Video non the less.
I guess we fit into that category of "some people" . It is common practice to catch and release the tiger fish. Apparently they are not great fish to eat anyway. But I also think that its like saying what's the point of chasing a white ball around a golf course or taking a picture of an animal or ? It's all about enjoyment and I cant tell you it was a lot of fun and remember we are not fishermen/people. Also this is going to be strange but I actually felt better that they were released and not killed also. You should try it sometime. Thank you for watching.
@@OverlandingwithBruce Thank you for the explanation. I rather watch the fish wihle diving or snorkling. 😊
@africanomads yes I must admit to feeling sorry for them also but I wouldn’t snorkel in the Zambezi 😂
Good Morning 😊 Awesome Video👌🏽Appreciate the Content 👍🏼 Greetings From The Limpopo Province 🇿🇦
Thank you and thank you for watching. very happy you enjoyed it. Have a great week.
Soldier ants.
yes exactly. Thank you for watching
@@OverlandingwithBruce So Howzit, Bruce? Old Rhodie here now banished to Western Canada. :-)
@@richardfenner6096 Thank you for watching Richard. Hope you enjoyed.
Lots of love Bruce.#chasingsmiles.❤❤❤
Thank you very much.
Bruce, as always a great episode! I hope you have a few more episodes coming up as I noted this was filmed a year ago 😂 Quick we needs load more please. Have you ever been to Mongwe? Used to be fab in the 90s and awesome fishing too(I am afraid to say I'm worse than you) 😂😂
yeah I know. It's been a busy year and my focus has been on my business with most weekends filled with checking the rental vehicles and on top of that my day job to be honest. I haven't been to Mongwe. Will put it onto the list. Thank you. Thank you for watching.
Awesome episode Bruce, weldone legends i real enjoyed it 🤗
Thanks very much Freeman and thank you for watching.
Well done Bruce, brilliant footage of the stunning Zambezi. Looked like a big puffie. Looking forward to my trip to Gona in September.🎉🎉 cheers 🍻 ian
Thanks so much Ian. It was huge one of the biggest ive seen. I hope my invitation is in the mail ? 😂😂 Thank you for watching and have a great trip to Gona.
Thank you for the great video. Loved the fishing competition.
😂 Thanks so much. Thank you for watching
You are living the life
Yes im very lucky and wish I could do it more but a day job has to pay the bills 😂 Thank you for watching
This catch and toss is no fun. At least 2nyana for the road 😀😀😀😀
hehe I think tiger fish are not great for eating 😂 thank you for watching
Another incredible show. Well done Bruce.
Thank you and thank you for watching
Thanks Bruce and Elmarie. Long awaited episode 😅.
It’s a pleasure and thank you for watching
Beautiful scenery and very informative. Can you comment on Gonarezhou in Dec to mid Jan or are we wasting our time as it's the start of the rainy season. Many thanks Bruce and keep it up
Warren you maybe lucky it all depends on the rains. If the rains are late it will be hot and dry and you will be able to go anywhere. If it has been raining the Runde river maybe full and a lot of the tracks will be closed. The causeway may still be open but even then some tracks will be closed on the other side. The bush is beautiful in summer but can also be very dense so you may not see much. Thank you for watching.
Bruce as always epic content , camera work next level thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Shauna and thank you for the support as usual mate 🙏
Most enjoyable Bruce, thank you.
Thank you Brian and thank you for watching
Thank you Bruce for showing us these lovely places where you see animals in their natural habitat not spoiled by men .We need to preserve these areas
Absolutely. It’s a pleasure and thank you for watching
Need to get yourself a body cam for the fishing trips. Straps to your chest so your hands are free
That’s a good idea. Will try that next time thank you and thank you for watching
here atlast🎉
Hope you enjoy
@@OverlandingwithBruce pack of amazing adventures 💯💯💯
What does a soccor ball cost?
About R120 and the pump is about R30 . I always give a pump with a ball for obvious reasons. Chasingsmiles.org is also up although it’s still a work in progress
We missed you Bro I have been checking the channel for months thank you for this pleasant installment
thank you and thanks for watching again. Next episode will be up soon hopefully if all goes to plan. Thanks for the continued support
I’m a little late to the party as I have just come across your channel but I am loving every minute of it! Coming to you from Virginia, USA and appreciate all the sights, sounds and tips! Who needs Netflix when you have Bruce! Cheers and many thanks.
Hi Charles. As they say, better late than never but jokes aside, thank you for the awesome message and I’m so glad to hear you enjoying it. Thank you for watching.
Bruce is the Hot Springs still there
Yes they are but when I was there a bunch of people at the local shabeen insisted I pay them US$50 to see it so I laughed and left.
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
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
Great video Bruce. Please give us a rig walk around of your Conqueror Commander. Looking forward to episode 2. Thanks
Thank you. I will try and do one for you. I’m Hank you for watching
Bruce, very lekker. We're heading to Gona next month to get our fix. Have you had any experience with ESim in Zim? Especially down Gona way? 🎉
Awesome. Have a great trip. Signal is very bad but there is connectivity at the gate using their WiFi that you are allowed to use. Have a great trip. You may see some of my cars there next month. Thank you for watching
Blast Off 🚀 Back to Victory falls Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 Coming Up. Best Place on the Planet 🌍🥳🐘🎪🏖️🛖🍻🏊🥰🌞🦏👍🤩😍🥰
Have a great trip and thank you for watching
Where did you access or leave Hunters Road -North & South ends. Heading that way in Sept 2025. 3 x Land Cruisers.
Just north of Elephant sands there is a huge cut line that goes straight to Hunters. That’s the easiest and most obvious way.
@@OverlandingwithBruce - thanks, but North end of Hunters Road Access or Exit ?
@@WildlifeObsessed you can go out by other cutlines, or near Pandamatenga, or near Kasane
Another awesome vlog on beautiful Zimbabwe. Half the beauty of Zimbabwe is its amazing people.
It really is! Thank you for watching and commenting
Nostalgia- I remember real Fanta and real Coke too- it’s all been packed up and shipped off to kiosks in the middle of nowhere- so they can get addicted to it like us, and then get saddled with ChemCocktail cans of soft drink like us 😂 And thanks for the heads up on the grass situation- I had wondered why you were going to such lengths. Good to know if I ever do this trip 🇬🇧
Thank you for watching and commenting
my words are not enough to say than you
its a pleasure and thank you for watching and commenting
Enjoyable epispde indeed, thanx Bruce. Keep them coming
Thank you, will hopefully do so!
