  • In this episode our 61-day overlanding trip reaches Botswana, where we stay at Ihaha on the Chobe river, Savuti, Khwai Hippo Pools and Third Bridge in Moremi, before returning to South Africa via Namibia.
    Our visit was at the end of the dry season at the onset of Impala lambing season. It was very hot with temperatures reaching 47⁰C!
    We saw Lions, a young leopard, cheetahs, giraffes, a very large herd of buffalo, zebras, Tsessebe, etc.
    The video also contains comments on the campsites we used, which included Ihaha, Savuti Campsite, Khwai Hippo Pools, Third Bridge in Moremi en Symponia / Symphonia near Ghanzi.

    Loved it. Nowhere like the Chobe River.

      I agree. Also there is nowhere like Kgalagadi, nowhere like Central Kalahari...

    It's sad to see the game suffer from lack of grazing... On the other hand, the photography were excellent and it's wonderful to "tour"with you guys.

      Thank you! At least in Chobe the realities of the elephant overpopulation was not as stark as in Hwange (see previous video)

    thank you for another great video. These places are all on my bucket list.
    I've heard reports of thieves crossing the border from Namibia and robbing campers at Ihaha, have you heard of any such stories? Do you know how is the situation nowadays?

      Hi, I'm aware that there have been a few incidents. We asked about that at the camp reception and they claimed that there has not been an incident for some time as the Botswana Defence Force have stepped up patrols. I think there will always be some risk as the campsite is right on the border and the Namibian side is not a protected area. Our risk assessment was that the risk is not high enough to deter us. We exercised some basic caution by not leaving valuables out at night.

      Ek het dit gesien, en ja - die olifante word beperk tot 'n klein area in vergelyking met hulle nomadiese natuur.
      Dit was maar net 'n baie ritmelose tyd en sommige dinge het bietjie agterweë gebly. Ek hoop julle het nie te verwese gevoel nie!
