Tusk & Tyre Overlanding documents the raw, untamed beauty of Africa through authentic overland travel, deep storytelling, and cinematic filmmaking on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/?sub_conformation=1

From the red sands of Botswana’s Mabuasehube to the stone canyons

of Namibia, the hidden valleys of Malawi, and the wild coastlines of Mozambique — every journey reveals a piece of Africa rarely seen and always felt. With our 2005 Ford F250 “Motsumi” leading the way, we travel off-grid, camp wild, explore remote communities, and share honest moments from the road: the challenges, the triumphs, the campfire reflections, and the real connection to nature that keeps us going. This is more than a channel. It’s a story of freedom, family, gratitude, and the soul of the African wilderness. If the bush calls you home — you belong here.

🧭 Our Story (Founder’s Voice)

I’m Corné — an overlander at heart. I choose gravel over airports, sunsets over city lights, and the quiet of the African bush over anything else. Every mile reminds me why I explore: to feel alive, to connect deeper with nature, and to capture stories worth remembering. Tusk & Tyre is my way of sharing that journey with you.

The Himba people of Kaokoland are often romanticized as a culture frozen in time, hidden away in the harsh deserts of northwestern Namibia. But they aren't hidden ,and they were never lost.

In this episode, we park Motsumi and journey into a traditional Himba homestead near the Kunene River. Beyond the striking red ochre and the intricate, symbolic hairstyles lies a history of immense resilience. From surviving devastating cattle plagues that earned them the name "Ovahimba" (beggars), to enduring colonial wars through sheer geography, this is a look at a culture that nearly ended twice in the same century, and didn't.

Sometimes, the best thing a place can do is make you quieter than when you arrived.

The border between Namibia and Angola. 🇳🇦🇦🇴

The raw power of Epupa Falls from above. 🇳🇦

Mapping our overlanding route through Kaokoland. 🇳🇦

Taking Motsumi off the grid into the heart of Northern Namibia. From navigating dry riverbeds to tracking through the rugged Marienfluss Conservancy, this remains one of the most isolated tracks in Southern Africa.

Swakopmund food prank on a 18-year-old! 🍽️🇳🇦

Celebrating Aiden's 18th birthday on the "Where Paths Begin" expedition meant setting up the ultimate joke. We convinced the waitress to serve his massive dinner and immediately walk away with it. You do not mess with a hungry guy's food after a long day traveling in Motsumi! Full episode on Youtube this afternoon at 5pm

Thirty million square kilometres of Africa behind me. Two oceans in front, still arguing about whose turn it is. Cape Agulhas is the place the Portuguese named after their compass needles because here, magnetic north and true north line up exactly. Your compass doesn’t lie at Agulhas—but the coastline does. With over 150 wrecks along this stretch, the lighthouse has its work cut out for it.

Three weeks ago this page had under a thousand of you on it. Today it's over five thousand. That happened across Pringle Bay, the two Betty's Bay episodes — the whaling station and the penguins at Stony Point — and the full Hermanus series. Different doors, same road. Quick intro is probably overdue for the new faces.
The truck is Motsumi — a 2005 F250 with a Cummins 5.9 turbo diesel, a Blinkgat camper on the back, four lithium batteries, three solar panels, and a Nespresso machine that takes itself seriously. We're documenting overlanding across southern and eastern Africa. Real roads, real breakdowns, real places.
Cape Agulhas drops Friday. After that Motsumi heads north for Tanzania and Malawi.
Glad you're here.
