We visit khwai in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, we spend time at the hyena den and track lions, and we even find a leopard in a little riverside woodland.
A big shout to Jim Green for helping us ditch our flip-flops, and kitting us out with some amazing new boots.

While your captured video lacks by comparison to others, you more than make up for it in the information you provide. I have appreciated your information more than anyone else. We will be in Botswana in June and appreciate what you've provided. Thank you

Thanks Gary! Nice trip report again. We like the shorter duration videos. Been to Mogotho previously but will love to visit your area. Will be in contact in future to ask some advise on bookings, where and how if you don't mind. Keep up the videos. Thanks!

Hey thanks for watching, so glad you enjoyed, yes the Mogotlo side is really nice and good sightings too. I like camping at xwabakwa as its more private and quiet. Feel free to message if you need any info, most of it should be in the description of the videos.

Thanks for the great video, hope to catch the second one soon. Please will you let me have the pin location for the Hyena Den, we are visiting the area in June and would like to check them out.

Baby hyenas are cute. They remind me of domestic puppies. 😍 so playful.

haha, i am still editing it, but hopefully soon. Do you have maps.me downloaded, if so i will share a few pins. there is a nice dropdown into the floodplains just after Mababe we took it on our way out, its a lovely drive.

@dilipkakkad2260 Ай бұрын

Would love to get few tips on game drives. Do you visit and drive in Moremi while staying at Khwai Camps or just happy with Khwai area game.

@petervalaris8496 Ай бұрын

How were the water crossings in the area, easy for first time driveer. Has flood water started coming. Overall was it easy to drive around compare to previous trips.

@exploringbotswana Ай бұрын

The river crossings were fine i used the one at the river junction of the Mabudi and khwai rivers, but the water is very low at the moment......i think it will still be low when you visit

Good to be back in the bush in my armchair - almost like being back there again. Long format for me.

@exploringbotswana Ай бұрын

Ha ha, that's great, glad you enjoyed it, i too like long format content, we being flooded with tons of very short content and its a bit numbing tbh

@dilipkakkad2260 Ай бұрын

Love all your videos long or short. In general, I prefer 15 - to 20-minute videos. I do read all comments and google few things, so like to focus, long videos not easy.

@exploringbotswana Ай бұрын

Thank you, its interesting to see everyone s preferences, i think we will try to find a middle ground maybe 30min....will try a few changes

@siggieschuttler8987 Ай бұрын

Great video and very informative. You give excellent tips on the game drives and i take lots of notes as we are heading to Khwai (Mbudi Camp ) for 5 nights in late June for the 1st time. Really enjoyed you Nxai Pan video as that will be our 1st stop before Khwai. Prefer the long format videos you produce.

@exploringbotswana Ай бұрын

Thank you. Sounds like you have an epic trip planned... how many nights do you have planned for Nxai? I also enjoy long format videos, seems quite divided at the moment some like short others long :-/

@richardtustin Ай бұрын

Great video. Time for us to visit Khwai again. You asked for length of video. Personally 20-25 minutes. 3 episodes rather than 2 long one. But thats my preference.

@exploringbotswana Ай бұрын

Thank you, You should plan a trip to khwai, it is always time to visit khwai or the bush in general, hopefully, you get to visit soon. Thanks for the feedback about the video length, its looking quite divided at the moment. Thanks for watching!

Hyena Den location, is it possible to give details on location. Is it near the Mababe two bridges further on right. Thank you.
