- 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.

What a awesome series Keep it up 🙌
Hey Ryan, great stuff, excellent photography, videography, and the storytelling is on point. I'm really envious, here in Germany it is cold & grey, I'm dreaming & planning to do some trips to Botswana an RSA in the near future. Keep up the excellent work, thanks for sharing. As a Saffa, I often miss the African wilderness, I spent a lot of time in the nature, on farms, and hiking/camping.
Thank you Ingo. Appreciate your kind words and your support. We look forward to your adventures when you get here. Stay safe and let's hope your adventure is sooner than later. Cheers mate 🙌

You're welcome and enjoy Christmas. Be merry mate

Thank you mate, I enjoy taking you all on the adventures
@@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?
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.
@@4x4ventures_southafrica what we have here in kuwait is made in South Africa,, I cant waiting it to arrive
Bloody Awesome series Ryan 10/10 quality 👌 thanks for sharing this amazing trip with us 👍👌🐺🐾

@@4x4ventures_southafrica Thank you
Ed was cooking a leg of lamb you bought from Maun?
managed to pass with the meat at the vet gates?
Yes, from Delta Meat Deli. Guys didn't check or stop us at the vet fence. Take it that there were no foot and mouth cases. Good observation though, well done
Ooo yess just in time🍻
Hope it was a good one for you. Merry merry mate
@@4x4ventures_southafrica another awesome series can't wait for the next one...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year bud🎊🎉
Hi Ryan. We are from Australia and love watching your blogs. What is the name of the theme song in your intro? Thanks
Hi John, awesome to hear rhatbyou watching from Aus. I'll put the name of the song in the description write up in the next episode, on account of, I don't know it off hand, just that it is from Artlist. Cheers 🍻
@@4x4ventures_southafrica Thank you, we are looking forward to the next episode.
Really enjoyed watching your Botswana vlogs. What is the African background music that you use in your videos?
Thank you, all my music is purchased through Artlist.io
Hi mate what's the name of that intro music on all of your videos when you're kneeling next to your rig
Thanks
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
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.
@@johnmarais7772 there are a few awesome cut lines that run next to CKGR that you could do or you could stay at Itumela. Have a Lekka trip
Where did the okes in the cruiser stay?
Doesn’t look like they have any kit
He carried a ground tent and the bear essentials. Goes to show, we don’t always need all the gear to be on an adventure
Really Leka trip guys well done ! We did a very similar one around the same time as you guys, check it out on my mates channel (adventure first ).
very expensive WASH BAG WAS STOLEN AT ELEPHANT SANDS, found a better place now just around the corner
Eish, not good to hear. From elies or people? Let me know about the other place around the corner
