Botswana Episode 1! Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and Dust.

9 Days in Botswana!! My mate Tom and I Left South Africa to find out if you can really experience all that Botswana has to offer in terms of overlanding in just 9 days. In episode 1 we drive from Johannesburg to Kubu Island, spent the night in the remote Makgadikgadi Salt pans and travel to Maun the following day.

[@4x4ventures_southafrica]

You should be at 1K subscribers already - excellent production. Keep it up mate

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks mate! Hopefully it will get there 🙌🙏

[@ThePistonpete]

How big is Kubu Island?

[@seanfrench1029]

Cool vid. 1. No problems with drones in Botswana other than regular etiquette & guidelines. 2. Why would the bigger trailer (Echo5) be better in ruff terrain than your smaller DW?

[@EdwardBath]

Sean French thanks mate! not in the area I flew in at the time of this video, now you need a license and permit to fly anywhere in Botswana and a special permit from DWNP to fly inside the National Parks 🙌 I wouldn’t say the Echo is any better in the tougher terrain, I would say they are on par, the Echo is lighter and has more space for sure 🙌

[@one4change4thebetter]

Why did you deflate the tires? To reduce the risk of punctures by the rocks?

[@EdwardBath]

To improve the ride and leave less impact on the tracks

[@corinelachenal2740]

Très sympa cette vidéo, c'est la deuxième vidéo comme celle du gars qui fait le tour du monde ua-cam.com/video/VXbRqtPXwtk/v-deo.html qui m'a inspirée aujourd'hui. Continuez de nous faire voyager, bravo !
