Overlanding Botswana a wild adventure episode 4:
Thank you Mark, for joining us on this one, and all your help and knowledge of the bush. You are welcome around my fire anytime mate.
In this the last episode to my Overlanding Botswana series, I look back and conclude that this was an over-landing celebration in being allowed to adventure travel through Botswana as the borders open up to South Africa. A trip I would advise anyone to make. Look at doing this one in the winter months, where water holes serve as gathering spots for wildlife.
In this episode I adventure travel with Ed and Chris, and mate Mark. We travel from the North of Botswana, from Kasane to Elephant Sands, where we camp for one night and get a sighting at the waterhole that is sure to leave an impression on any visitor to this area.
We continue the trip to the Makgadikgadi pans where we camp for 2 nights on Kubu Island. A serene moment for me and the gents and always a favorite of ours to come back and visit. An over-landing trip is just not complete without visiting this magical place.
I end this series at Khama Rhino Sanctuary, where our ultimate African adventure began, some 21 days prior.
Feel free to add a comment, but please keep it classy.

@@4x4ventures_southafrica thank you for your kind words,, can I ask you about the new 2022 ford ranger? Is it will be made in South Africa?

@4x4ventures_southafrica 2 жыл бұрын

No worries. The new ford ranger looks great. I do prefer though the XL and XLT variant as the front lines make design sense to suit the squared off look, reminiscent of the American F150s. The wildtrak variant doesn't in my opinion, but with all the bells and whistles I hope they get a favourable pricing model. I think bakkies have become ridiculously priced, and are over inflated by far too much. The bakkies are made in 3 countries Malaysia / Indonesia (I think), Australia and South Africa.

Wow Ryan, what a fantastic trip you have had, great commentary, fantastic videography, well done and thanks. Watching this I appear to have stuffed up big time, don't know where I made a mistake. In our 56 day trip next year (all pre-booked) we have to get from Kubu Island to Gaborone in one day. I'm trying to work out how far and approximately how long. I guess that one has to go past Khama and I know Khama to Gabs is approximately 340kms (4.5 hours). Roughly how far and how long would it take from Kubu Island to Khama? Appreciate your kind advice, thanks John

@4x4ventures_southafrica 2 жыл бұрын

Hi John, yes, I wouldn't make that drive from Kubu to Gabs in one shot. Driving on the Bots roads after 5:30pm is a definite risk with all the cattle and donkeys. From Kubu to Khama is roughly 4.5 hours, give or take with a stop over in Letlhakane for something to chow, or refuel. We take it easy in the roads. All the best mate, and your trip is going to be something epic. Cheers and thank you for your comment

@@4x4ventures_southafrica Thanks Ryan, yes unfortunately I've stuffed up big time, our trip is all pre-booked so can't change plans as we would forfeit a day at Mabua which we are loathe to do. A nine hour day is huge but doable. I'll try to see if we can get somewhere between Khama and Gabs, not sure whether there is anywhere, I'll ask on 4x4 Community.
