Botswana is a dream holiday destination. Love visiting these areas. Thanks for watching

Thank you

We are getting “bush sick” (“home sick”) when we leave such amazing places, and we are just a few hours away. Can imagine being in Dubai, so far away, makes it way worse. Glad that you enjoy the videos and thanks for the kind words and for watching

It is Maxxis RAZR 315/75R16 with a standard 50mm lift

We have gotten used to it over the years. I do remember when we started that we were a lot more “scared” if that is the right word, maybe more cautious. We have gotten better at planning and making sure everything is fine and planning ahead! Thanks for watching

It is a 4L V6 petrol

Thanks. We have made a note of that. Will definitely search harder next time. Thanks for the comment and for watching

We stayed at the operator site across from reception. Next to no5. Amazing site. This was a once in a lifetime trip with sightings. Was amazing. Thanks for watching

Hi. We also have an additional tank. Helps a lot when touring. And the exhaust makes a massive difference. The only advice I can give is to make sure she is happy. We always have extra water on a warm day so we can give her a “jacuzzi” in a tub in the middle of nowhere. It is always exciting for them to play with water. One month is still very young, at that age we made sure not to drive too far everyday. It will ease the stress on yourself as well. Just advice, definitely do not have a set in stone answer. It will vary per person and per day(as we have found out)

Caution should be taken at all times. We are currently in Mabuasehube and had leopard in our campsite twice last night. Also spotted hyena continuously. We are in the wild here and should always respect it. I won’t say we are not afraid because that will make us look and seem disrespectful towards what we do, but it does get easier the more you do it, and pre-caution is taken more easily! Thanks for watching

​​@@OurLifeInAfrica I'm from Europe (Dutch living in Italy) and one of my dreams is to camp like you do in the wilderness, but honestly I find it difficult to understand when a place is safe and when not. I thought fire would keep cats at a distance but then I read this is a false myth. There are no fences and sometimes there are lots of hiding places next to the campsite, such as trees or high grass. I imagine myself choosing a spot on the campsite, pulling the kitchen out, and a big lioness running towards me!!!😮😮😮 Thanks for answering my question, hopefully one day I will learn how to camp like you do.....

They are more afraid of you than you are of them.. but some areas they have become very habituated unfortunately. You can watch some of our latest Live videos on facebook. Lions even use our areas as shelter now. Some companies offer guided tours where you can camp within a group in these areas. That might be an option for you

No reply?

Amazing time to visit. The rivers might be flowing. It will look completely different than in our video. Thanks for watching

Thanks. It is really something to add to your bucket list then. Such an nice area

Thanks. Been meaning to do it for quite a while. Thanks for watching

I have a list of what I missed.. 😂 that is what happens when we make a video without preparing. Most popular answer is the extra fuel tanks. Thanks for watching

Nice. Next time hoot and wave. We love meeting followers and subscribers!

Dit maak lewe net maklik as mens plek het om dinge te sit, en soos jy se, orals kan uitkom

Hi. Will get in touch soon. We are currently on a trip in Botswana. Thanks for watching

Thank you for the kind words. Wildlife is our focus on our trips. Thank you so much for watching

Ek wil ook amper so dink

Thank you so much for the nice words. We really enjoy bringing this content to everyone to see. Glad you enjoy it. 💪 We are currently on a trip. Will arrange some stickers and patches for you when we get back

@OurLifeInAfrica Oh that's great news 😀 Martin, another video in the making I hope!!! That would be greatly appreciated 👏 Martin thank you so much!!!! My wife and I did Baviaanskloof last year November then Gamkaskloof "Die Hel" February and went to the Kgalagadi in June and then we're going to the Kruger Park end of October 😃 Safe travels Martin looking forward to the next video!!! 👍 👌

Definitely. You visited some amazing places this year. Will be in touch when we are back

@OurLifeInAfrica Oh yeah it was really amazing places to visit!!!! Baie Dankie Martin awesome 👌 👏

Veilige reis terug Nelspruit toe 👍

Hi. The shocks only have around 65k km on it when we took this video. 😮 We are seriously considering upgrading to toughdog, but terraintamer is also still a choice. There are actually quite a few good ones on the market now. We will upgrade the complete suspension and not only the shocks. The tires made a massive difference. Fuel consumption is about the same. Pulling away we can feel the power is less, but when on the open road, it is much smoother. Towing the companion is also much nicer and at cruising speed it is way more comfortable. It could be the softer compound tires. Should have done it a long time ago. Thanks again for watching.

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching 💪

Thanks for this comment. Our OME has only done around 65k km. Not good at all. Will definitely look at the Foam cell technology now as well. ToughDog or Ironman.. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the info. The V6 is indeed underrated. It is such a smooth engine when cruising on the highway. Shocks is such a big choice. And so many good products on the market

Thanks

We are currently busy on a long trip again. Will do a comparison when we are back. Today with a strong headwind and towing the companion we got just over 6km/l

Thanks. We are so glad that we can share our experiences and encourage others to do the same. So many wonderful things and places out there. Still have not planned a next year Sept/Oct trip. Want to do Zim in the winter or perhaps sept. Will see how it goes

Thanks. Forgot to show the auxiliary tank. We have a 75litre aux tank underneath. So we carry 205litres on the vehicle. Thanks for watching

Awesome. We are on another trip again. Next time hoot! We love to meet followers of the channel

Thanks again for the kind words and for following the channel

Thanks. We got treated with some amazing sightings. So glad that our kid also enjoys the bush and wildlife. Always a pleasure to take her to these areas

It is such an unique area. Very special place

Thank you

Thanks. We had lots of luck on our side with sightings on that trip.

Also just watched it. Such legends that ended an era at this little island. Such an unique setting

@@OurLifeInAfrica I just hope the cars are still around by the time I can afford the air fee lol, still looks utterly stunning out there though.

Hi. What pod are you referring to? For the camera we use to take video from the vehicle, we either use an oversized beanbag or on occasion the gimpro doormount. Inside the vehicle the gopro is mounted using the original gopro suction cup, and all the rest of the mounts are ram mounts.

Thanks for your response! What i meant was the gimpro door mount. Looks very stable compared to most of the door mounts i have ever found! I wouldn‘t rely just on suction cups for an external car mount…

You are welcome! And thanks for watching

We have never had issues. I only fill it with 19litres so that it is not completely full though.

Thank you! Will do! And thanks for the support by watching and following our adventures

Thank you for watching and following our adventures

Thank you so much for the kind words. It does make it easier doing what we love. Thanks for following and supporting us by watching

Thanks for the kind words and for watching. We can’t wait to return to these areas again. So much more to explore

Deflating only works before getting stuck on the diffs, then the tires do not touch the ground. We think that is how we destroyed our tires and maxtrax. It was deflated, hanging on the diffs, then all that happened was wheel spin on the maxtrax.

Thanks for the comment. That area of Botswana is absolutely amazing

Thanks for watching. Chobe was amazing and treated us with some nice sightings

My name is Thebe Masoto, just ignore Obuile .

Hi. We stopped for some ellies in the distance, and as we tried to pull away we could not move. The diffs were already touching the sand. So basically no wheels on the ground, but on solid steel in the form of the front and rear diff

​@@OurLifeInAfricaUnderstood

Thank you so much. Botswana kept delivering on that trip. Hopefully the next one will be just as entertaining
