I can't stop watching you dude ... best 4x4 adventure show in south africa I would say.
This series has to be one of my all time favorites. I could hardly stand the wait till a new one came out. stay safe guys. We wait for more lol
Every single episode of your journey has been amazing and unexpected. You and Nicole are the best and we appreciate all you do! 🙏🌞
Wow! its been a lovely series Matt, I stated watching this grand tour in December 2022 and I've been getting updates since then, I'm really enjoying it boet.
Jeewizz Matt hard to think this is the last stretch before heading home. Beautiful in its emptiness.
It was a nice surprise to see a new installment from the Dubbers. Love those drone shots.
Wow! You captured the feeling of the last night in Botswana perfectly. Never wanted to leave. So lucky you have been there. Thank you.
Great episode, great storyteller 🎉
Sooooo jealous! I loved the Top Gear Botswana special and ever since you mentioned that you would be going to Kubu island I have been waiting patiently for the video. It did not disappoint. What a stunning place to end your trip! It's been an awesome series!!!
Your footage is awesome!
That was an amazing video on Botswana. Thanks for sharing. As we live in LETLHAKANE Botswana and LeKubu is on our doorstep it was special for us. You would have driven right past us and it would have been wonderful to have met you and your group at The Plot. 🍺
I'm in Bali at the moment and have been getting amazing surf. However Ive been telling just about everyone that if you haven't committed to the Transkei yet then there is plenty adventure ahead of you
Thanks a lot we enjoyed the series
Farming south of Letlhakane so the pans is our playground
I used to travel to our bordering countries every two weeks with my previous job. Matt this series has made me want to show my new family everything you and I have experienced. Thank you so much for exposing what we have on our doorstep. For anyone with the means, go out and explore your backyard- you won’t be disappointed 🤙
Yes, we have so much right in our backyard! And at a fraction of the cost of traveling overseas.
Really enjoy Matt dubers content!🙌🏿🙌🏿🙏🏾 great content! Lovely bakkie❤
This is stunning. Almost unimaginable the size of the pan. Love it.
Kuba Island on my no 1 to do list thanks Matt as always epic content and drone footage wow this is camping , exploring at its best
Simply awesome scenery and so well filmed!
I can't believe the series is coming to an end 😭💔
an incredible Place , i was there 👍👍👍👍👍
Njongo is so cute 😊
You got lekker bakkie tan! Love your video!
Great scenery!
I love your travelling videos❤
I urge everybody visiting Makgadikgadi Pans (or any other Pan) to stick to established Vehicle Tracks, where the ground is able to support a vehicle.
The alternative is - you sink in, get stuck, need rescuing, or die.
Took me over 3 hrs to haul a muppet out - I had the fully equipped 4x4. He was doing off-Road DoNuts in an overloaded 2-wheel drive. My 1-night Kubbu visit was ruined.
Great tube, look forward to our trip to this route, what navigation do you use can you tell more about it, the screens in the tube etc
Kubu means Hippopotamus in Setswana
(as an aside, though it isn't adventure related, please vlog the Springbok v All Black Final)
😁
nice video, dream of going there one day. I see the spotlights didn't survive the corrugations...😄
The mounts didn’t last, but I gave feedback to the manufacturers and they improved the material to make it less brittle. I don’t mind working with companies that aren’t perfect as long as they listen to feedback and are willing to improve🙌🏻
Let there be shade😂
Yohhh so cool, we camped at that exact campsite on Kubu. Looked like you guys did the Nata road?
🇧🇼🇧🇼❤🇧🇼🇧🇼
Hi Matt. Thanks for the great footage. A quick question. What kind of suspension do you have?
Tough Dog
Are you not suppose to drive on the main tracks..😢
How much fuel do you pack on trips like this?
Are you concerned about all that salt rotting out your vehicle?
