INEOS Grenadier
The video series "Grenadier Trails" follows the team on the tail of African game. They seek out rare black rhinos, desert-adapted African bush elephants, giraffes, and lions, while putting their rugged 4X4 through its paces in the untamed wilderness of Namibia.
Watch the Grenadier as it manoeuvres rocky mountain ranges, arid basalt plains, dusty desert, thick grassland, and quicksand-like riverbeds. The two prototype vehicles take a four-day overlanding adventure.

Episode 1: REFLECTIONS
Two Grenadiers track big game in Namibia. Searching for elusive animals that are always on the move means having to keep pace. 14-hour days. The remotest locations. All across a huge range of terrain.

Episode 2: DEPARTURE
A guide leads the team west along the Hoanib Riverbed. A long first day of tracking in the seriously rough terrain of sharp, loose gravel that turns to mud, with pockets of quicksand.

Episode 3: INTO DAMARALAND
Heavy unseasonable rain makes the route even more challenging. So, it’s a pre-dawn start to see the game attracted to the water, such as desert-adapted giraffes. But the long drive proves more than worth it.

Episode 4: RHINOS IN THE DESERT
Time to off-road further south, into the home of possibly the last free-roaming Black Rhino in the world. After spotting tracks 24 hours earlier, and five hours behind the wheel, they’re finally discovered near a spring.
