OVERLANDING into the MSR (Maputo Special Reserve) - Lost in Mozambique Episode 4

In this episode we head North into the relatively isolated Maputo Special Reserve to look for rogue elephants, and do some serious sand four wheel driving, after quickly stocking up on fresh food, fuel and water in Ponta do Ouro.

The drive into the reserve is actually remarkable simple, although low range four wheel drive, and deflated tyres really are needed, it's only made tricky by some wayward GPS directions, that we luckily ignored.

The reserve is an incredible vast wilderness, with massive lakes, beautiful savannahs, and dunes covered in thick vegetation! The game densities are relatively low, but we still saw a lot, and some unusual animals as well! We really want to find the infamous Mozambican elephants, the older ones are survivors of the war years, and have not got the fondest memories of humans.

The rehabilitation of this park, and a few others like it by Peace Parks and other organisations, is hopefully going to be one of the big focuses of our time in Mozambique!

We eventially make our way through to Ponta Membene the site of the brand new camp that has been built. It is incredibly isolated and wild, but with some creature comforts like private ablutions, and a trickle of power in the evenings to charge your cellphones, so for us it ticks a lot of the boxes for the perfect camp site!

I caught covid this week back in Johannesburg unfortunately, so the video is a little late, and my VO might not be perfect, so apologies for that! It also means we are stuck in JHB at the moment, but don't worry there are at least 3 more Lost in Mozambique episodes before we run out of that content, and by then we are really hoping to be back in Moz making our way up to Gorongosa!

As always, we love to hear your thoughts and feedback? We're effectively a 2 person team, trying to plan, write, present, shoot, direct, record sound, and edit it all together every week. So we know we make mistakes, and there are compromises that have to be made, but we are always looking to improve and learn, and truly truly truly value feedback!

Thank you all for the continued support. And as always, it wouldn't be possible without our product sponsors! (the entire project, and everything else required to put the channel together is self financed)

WILD CAMPING in the Maputo Special Reserve - Lost in Moz Episode 5

Hey everyone!

In this episode we continue to explore the Maputo Special Reserve with the Boon family, get lost exploring the park, almost run into some ellies on foot, and head to an incredible wild camping spot in the middle of the park!

Sorry for being so quiet, we both had COVID and were locked down in Johannesburg, South Africa was also going through a seriously rough time, but we're back on the road and back editing content! We've got a couple more episodes from the first leg in Mozambique, and by then we should be back in Mozambique filming for the next leg!

As always, please let us know what you think?

INFAMOUS ELEPHANTS of the Maputo Special Reserve - Lost in Mozambique Episode 7

Our time in Maputo Special Reserve is almost done, and we still have not found the infamous Elephants, so we had to double our efforts to find them! They're got such a sad and interesting history, so I really wanted to see them, but hopefully not too close!

Mixed with the usual overlanding, adventure, sand driving, and camping, we have a great last few days in the park before heading further north for a complete change of pace at the luxury Loggerhead Bay lodge!

Huge thanks to Peace Parks Foundation and ANAC for the work they are doing in this part of the world, and for hosting us!

And as always, thanks to all of you for watching! If you enjoy what you watch, please like, subscribe, and turn on notifications! It's the easiest way to support us, and hopefully keep us going to these incredible wild places!

REDISCOVERING why we overland - Lost in Mozambique Episode 6

We'd been having a pretty rough time with some serious car problems, check out the previous video about Front Runner if you haven't already. So I managed to get Jabari fixed to the point that she was safe and then took an aimless drive north to try clear our heads. The northern section of the Machangulo Peninsular is so wild and isolated, it's just incredible! Hours from civilization, and cut off from the trickle of traffic it used to get. It redefined what we are doing, and why we are doing it!

I really hope you enjoy this episode after the downer last week. Sorry it is a little late, we are back in Mozambique and the upload ran to a record 14 hours! But hopefully worth the wait!

Thanks as always for the support from all of you, and a shout out to Peace Parks and ANAC for giving us access to this incredible reserve and letting us tell these stories there!

Lots of love from beautiful Mozambique,

Solo OVERLANDING in Mozambique - Vilanculos to Gorongosa

In this weeks episode of Lost in Mozambique, join me as I embarks on an adventure to explore more of this beautiful country, but this time way off the conventional tourist tract, and on my own. Solo OVERLANDING at it's best.

The journey begins with a scuba diving expedition in the crystal clear waters of Bazaruto, where I encounters an array of colorful marine life. After the dive, I set off on an overlanding road trip to reach the renowned Gorongosa National Park. The road is full of challenges, including potholes, rough terrain, and corrupt police officers. But, I was determined to reach this bucket-list location that I have been dreaming of my whole life.

Traveling solo in Africa can be an exhilarating experience, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. The road north is terribly maintained, full of potholes and corrupt officials. One of the other challenges is the language barrier. As you head further into rural Mozambique, there is very little english spoken.

Don't miss out on this incredible adventure, and join me on a journey of a lifetime.

OVERLAND prep for Mozambique - JABARI gets upgraded - Lost in Moz Episode 1

Our preparations are under way for Lost in Mozambique! A lot of people have asked how we prepare for a big trip, so we take you behind the scenes in this episode!

Expect a whole lot of overlanding upgrades for Jabari, both sponsored and DIY, packing, planning and a little farewell party of course!

I hope you all enjoy the episode, well except Front Runner which will probably complain, but they should wait for the main episode before really getting upset! haha

VILANCULOS & Bazaruto & Goodbye Bianca - Lost in Mozam S2 Ep3 (4K)

In this weeks episode, we keep traveling up the coast line of Mozambique, and go to the incredible tropical location of Vilanculos. Here we spend a couple of nights camping, then stay in a beautiful luxury resort, go exploring the World Heritage Sight of Bazaruto, and go horse riding on the beach with Mozambique Horse Safari's.

The episode ends with some really sad news, that may go some way to explaining the silence on the channel over the last year. It has been incredibly hard for me to edit and finish this series, but I am so glad that I have. The 23 months that we spent on the road together will always be one of the most beautiful chapters of my life.

I will be taking a week off from posting next week, but then will be back with my solo Mozambique adventure the following Saturday at 1pm.

Please let me know what you think, and I really hope you enjoy the episode!

Northern Cape Ep 1 Witsand Nature Reserve - Ironvan Adventures with Ironman 4x4

Welcome to the second series of the Ironvan Adventures. Alti & Dirk venture off to the Northern Cape, showing us a few hidden gems and a new look at the Kalahari.
First up is the Witsand Nature Reserve. Few eco-destinations in the Northern Cape are as scenic as Witsand Nature Reserve. Witsand Nature Reserve is a scenic park, teeming with birdlife, including the Namaqua sandgrouse, sociable weaver and Africa`s smallest raptor - the pygmy falcon.

Offering you sensual, flowing white dunes - twenty to sixty metres high - surrounded by copper-red Kalahari sand, Acacia woodland and the Langberg Mountain range.

Witsand has, since its earliest times, been the hub of human activity because it was one of the few reliable sources of permanent water in the region. Archaeologists have found several Stone Age sites reflecting the changing lifestyles throughout many thousands of years.

Enjoy this episode and let us know what you think! Remember to subscribe so you do not miss one episode of the Ironvan Adventures.
