  • Wow! And i mean..WOW! What an inspiring video! I will find your book on the bookstore here in Indonesia! Oh, btw, i drive a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300E and your video have really inspired me to have an adventure with my Benz ;-)

    Thank you!

  • I just finished reading your book a few minutes ago. It was fantastic. It's inspired me to buy an old Merc 190 D and drive down to Western Africa one day.

  • After reading this fantastic book we get inspired and did the same, unforgettable!

    Thanks Jeroen!

  • @LuisVuiton Many Europeans would be afraid to drive through Romania for the same reason. It's really unfounded to be afraid, because statistically you're no more likely to get killed there, than anywhere in Europe.

    While South Africa is the most violent African country, there's more violent crime in the UK. Finland is also high in the statistics... ;)

  • One of the best books I have ever read, did a trip to Timbuktu on a motorcycle and had such similier experiences as Jeroen, that this book could have been written about my trip. Inspired I now drive a Merc C180.

  • I also work in Holand In VLAGHESTAD for 3 mounth a portuar litle city Nice Country and Beutifoul Girls :))

  • Nice video i am from Romania and i drive from Germany to Romania an old peugeot 605 but i dont wish to drive in the african country i am afraid to lose my life there :))

  • what is that song? does anyone know? not the Janis Joplin. the other song. love that song.

  • As a recent newbie to 1984 Mercedes 300 TD, this book arrived at my door over the last weekend and I couldn't let out of my hands.

    Now delima begins - should I drive Benz or take a bus /train as Paul Theroux did.....Dark Star Safari...
