Very true indeed!! There is a little five of mammals, reptiles, birds, insects and plants! Such as a praying mantis. 880 Species in Africa and more than half in Botswana. With just as interesting camoflage and habits as a leopard or Wild dog.

Great vid, perfect example for minimalist expedition!...question though, what's that device you strapped around the tree next to your tent just before going to bed?

Savuti 🎉

Any crocs

So much water! 😍

Have stayed at Sunday Pan 3/4 on many occasions and have always had good sitings of lion, cheetah Sept/October. And even elephants.

Really like your stuff.

What app were you using to plot your trip and sightings

Enjoyed having both of you in voice over, loved that top gear knowledge will forever be relevant

Love your channel!!!!!

What a brilliant idea to involve your wife into voice-over! When I saw how long the video is I thoung I would not get to the end. But at the end I thought - I want more! You have an excellent narration, it is like a dialog, like an interview and a story. And however, you were not happy with sightings the video is captivating! Well done! Why don't you use the road from Rakops to Matswere Gate? Is it even worse? We haven't seen anything at the Leopard pan but a few times - the pride of lions at Sundy Pan (waterhole). At the Piper pan - a lion very close. But it was long time ago. There were indeed a very few sightings during your trip. Are all animals poached? It is getting worse in Botswana? Helicopter pilots from Maun told us that all rhinos were poached during the covid :-( I don't know if it is true but it is very sad. We had very good sightings in October in Savuti, Khwai and in Hwange.

Hey bud im watching your video now. I use Epidemic Sounds for my videos. Yes its P200 somthing pula a month but its copyright free on all yor accounts that you link with it.

A good bush snack is piccalilli with feta and fig preserve on crackers. Very tasty Hard to beat

Worked in the Serule area and the Sua and Twetwe pans in 1976! Amazing how it has changed! Now I have left for NZ since 1995 with a 15 year stint in Canberra - longing back to those times! Thank you!

❤

Good day loved this episode loved the simplicity as well. Do you live in Botswana?

My buddy and I will be touring our beautiful country Botswana for a month next year April, watching for research. Nice one guys.

Have to admit...Roast marshmallows are moms thing and not mine😬. By Marshmallow time, I have had a great meal and just want my sleeping bag!!🤗

Explain what is a Jackal donut?? Something round obviously..

Yes tat starter motor breakdown is one of the most soul destroying experiences. Thankfully it was not an automatic gearbox!! We need to find you a new vehicle. The content you give justifies it. We will be looking.

Nice trip. I have been watching your channel for a while now. I personally think its time to get another 4x4, probably 70 or 80 series 😊

Nice classic bush style steak preparation at 26.09...Botswana exported beef is the best! The .local grade beef from Maun Supermarkets is genarally ungraded and not great. But it requires this sort of marinade and preparation. it is NOT "A" grade. But you cannot deny the flavour! my favorite Local beefsteak prep is 48 hours in lemon juice. AMAZING!!!

This looks like epic fun! Great job fixing the suspension :) I used to have a much worse looking Safari just like that.

Love the commentary on this! 😂😂

Great trip,every day was an adventure!

Lion that just stole kill from 2 cheetah (still standing around confused) at Lethiahau. Liontracks and roaring, leopardtracks and cheetahtracks at piperpan (and toiletpaper). Giraffe next to a car bending down to peep in at sundaypan, met guys that had a leopard in their pasarge valley campsite and others that saw caracal at leopardpan campsite

We were in CKGR 2-6Aug Sunday Pan not much. Leopard Pan… a Leopard!! 2nts Piper Pan - full pride of Lions 1nt Motopi - waterhole dry - not much. Pasaage Valley - lions again. Very dry, but still great experience.

Thanks again for another video.May I ask if the 'direct' road is that bad why do you not take the rakops route? I ask because I probably will be back there and was wondering which route to take.

Thanks i like the kalahari Piper is n must I stayed for 7 years at Tsau Hills best time of my life it was in the early 90 we use to see lots of game now we come in at matswere I don't know if the game are les or if they are more concentrate at th Ganze side Never the less I love the place

Good Brown hyaena spoor tutorial. 100% correct👏

Nice braai-grid at 15.29. Is there a link in the description below?

Great bush mechanics!! Im proud of you all! That spring job was a masterpiece .You excelled yourselves! Dont forget to include a small roll of heavy 12 guage wire and fencing pliers in your tool kit for next time.

We were @ D.V in January, drove up from Xade, o.m.w - not worth it. Ja, was already very dry, possibly reason for very little animal interaction. Stayed 3 nights, used our own ablution for showers and a good spade for relieving, as those park amenities are disgusting and sooo neglected !! I don't get it - park fees received are substantial, yet, NO MAINTENANCE AT ALL, let alone on roads. However, we are coming back from entering down south. Keep up the good honest stuff!!

It's high time you guys get a new car 🚗 😂😂😂😂😂

This video is quite interesting 🤔 I have watched it 3 times already, it's nice knowing that there are Overlanders here in my town of Maun , you guys should tell me when Ur going on a trip again so i join u 🙏

Good to have you back again and to meet more of the family. Always exciting to see what part of the Safari will break next and whether the wheel spanner will work its magic. Please make up and be friends again. Many happy memories of CKGR, especially Piper’s and Tau (before it became a larney lodge)

Thanks for the video! I bet the sunrise and sets are al beautiful there 😍😍 Next trip for us should be here 😁💃🏻 Yes we all love to roast marshmallows! And also i randomly thought it was a Llama at first 😂🙆‍♀️

Piper is a must visit. Go before the late dry season when animals are still around. Didn't see the pipers though.

My favourite book ever. Deception Pan and Kubu Island are top of my bucket list. Hello from the Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia 😊

Such a treat for a Friday evening ! We prepared G&T and really enjoyed watching your aventures 😊 So sorry for the car issues and the drought... next time will be better ! BTW we did not notice trash during our CKGR tour except for Phokoje Pan campsite - half burnt trash and crushed beer cans in the firepit, such a lack of respect. Thanks a lot for your videos, we truly enjoy them 😊

I've seen a leopard at Leopard pan - Piper Pan is also amazing! Great episode💪

After long time. Looking forward. Thank you.

Magic!🪄🪄🦁🦁🌍🌍

Sorry about all the car stresses, but thank you for sharing your Kalahari adventures with us, I'm glad I saw jackals in this video

Desolate landscapes, great food, good company and cold drinks made it a worthwhile trip.

Looking foward ..watching here in Botswana

Hope you all have your popcorn and a cold one, this is a long one🙈

Looking forward to the video!

Weird music for Okavango Delta, why not African Music ? Nice Landy... And then what... 🤔🤔🤔🇿🇦

Beautiful video. May you please help with contacts of Xwabaxwa camp. Tried using the link you shared, it's not working
