Overlanding Botswana a wild adventure:
Visit our ‪@OverlandingEscape‬ channel to see a different version of this epic adventure.
In this episode I adventure travel with Ed and Chris, where we stop over at Khama Rhino Sanctuary, cross the Boteti River in flood, and camp in the wild at Xhumaga (Makgadikgadi Pans National Park). We head onwards to South Gate, after paying our Moremi park fees at the Wildlife department in Maun. Fuel and re-supply is high on the priority list.
A wild adventure, with some great camping in Botswana, and, there's more to come in the next episode. We carry on North to what some call Botswana's garden of Eden.
Feel free to add a comment, but please keep it classy.

@4x4ventures_southafrica 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Iris, glad you enjoyed the episode. Unfortunately my tribe doesn’t share the same emotions that I do with the bush. We do go out on adventures but this isn’t that show I’m afraid. Africa is amazing and holds so much beauty in its places and it’s people. The ford has been great, but Ford unfortunately has nothing to do with this show, and hasn’t contributed in the slightest. You are a bit skewed if you think the gajits make it a breathtaking adventure. The build has been backed by other brands that actually believe in me and the show. Whilst the vehicle has been great up to this point, the brand has been terrible with me and my endeavours, so I have to correct you on that one. Maybe one day ford will join in on the adventure. And yes, I do love my ford.

Hi Ryan love your videos, please keep them coming. Myself my wife & kids have just done Gabs to Nxai Pan (well almost). Did same route as you guys but we had planned to travel through Khumaga National Park, exit at the top and cross the road to Nxai Pan. Unfortunately we got horrible stuck 8km from the gate. Digging and huffing and puffing for three hours without luck. I committed the ultimate school boy error by not letting tyre pressure down. Thankfully anti poaching unit on patrol came to our rescue.Ended up turning back to same campsite you stayed. I think the same Lions you heard, visited us that night. Knocked over jerry can and stole my recovery rope. Along with the excitement was pretty nerve racking traveling with kids. Woke next morning with Lions still extremely close, not allowing for us to pack up camp. I loved every minute but as with what happens in the bush, did not make it to Nxai but stayed 2 nights at Boteti river lodge. If ever I Gabs, pop into our Pub, The Bull & Bush. Thanks again to all of you for your magic vids. Keep Bushing !!!

Hi Ryan. What a great episode and thanks for sharing. Just 2 questions: 1; Why couldn't you pay park fees at the gate and had to travel back to Maun? We always paid at the gate. Is it now because of Covid? 2; Where did you buy that K9 camp chairs? I have similar chair made of wood which I use for camping for the last 20Years. It folds up so small and are light. Just another comment which I also shared with Epic Africa is that you guys to please indicate during which months did you go on these trips. Cant wait for the next episodes.

@4x4ventures_southafrica 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, as both a prevention to damage and illegal usage of any spot lights it is advisable to have solid covers on them. Remember, we only use our spots out there on dirt roads, if we travel late. I did use them in Zim, as I was running late and worry for animals, but, these spots are very bright. Legally all spots must be put on seperate switches. Namibia wont tolerate spots in front and above the vehicles, so I've heard.

May I ask why you've taken your trailer with you? because you're sleeping on the bakkie. We've been to Moremi in July and the biggest challenge was the horrific roads! Other than the roads - was so great to be back in my favourite country again

@4x4ventures_southafrica 2 жыл бұрын

I took the trailer and RTT for two reasons. 1. It was a 23 day trip and needed to carry 2 fridges. One in the car and one in the trailer. And 2. We also had quite a few 1 nighters. This is where the RTT is allot easier to use and more efficient. The trailer is great for anything over 3 nights, which we had in the middle of the trip. *Please remember that we are in the Bush for 15 days at a time, and don't have access to restock. Also, we have allot of camera gear to carry. Space is lost very quickly, and yes, weight adds up quickly. My new setup allows me to only car camp, but still heavy. I don't think there is a way of escaping weight, but there is a way to accept the compromises

@4x4ventures_southafrica 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, they don't have anything to protect their paint other than a good ol polish when they get back from a trip. This works for them, as their scratches dissappear, however, on a vinyl wrap the scratches stay there for ever. Yes, the under body does stay new, but . . . depends on what works for you. Ed did have a clear protective wrap at one stage, which also worked a treat. Good stuff and hope this helps.

One question. Why do you have a RTT and a tent on your trailer as well? Isn't that RTT extra weight when you already have a trailer?

@4x4ventures_southafrica 2 жыл бұрын

Did you enjoy the episode? I took the trailer and RTT for two reasons. 1. It was a 23 day trip and needed to carry 2 fridges. One in the car and one in the trailer. And 2. We also had quite a few 1 nighters. This is where the RTT is allot easier to use and more efficient. The trailer is great for anything over 3 nights, which we had in the middle of the trip. *Please remember that we are in the Bush for 15 days at a time, and don't have access to restock. Also, we have allot of camera gear to carry. Space is lost very quickly, and yes, weight adds up quickly. My new setup allows me to only car camp, but still heavy. I don't think there is a way of escaping weight, but there is a way to accept the compromises

@4x4ventures how is the fuel consumption on your Ranger when its all loaded up?

@4x4ventures_southafrica 2 жыл бұрын

An average for the latest solo trip with the new setup it is 14.2ltr per 100kms. In the sand with 4H engaged 16.5ltr per 100km and in the thick stuff, albeit for very short distances thus far, 18.3ltr per 100km. Not too bad considering.
