Great video - really informative. Thanks! My wife and I would love to do this in the next couple of years. Can I ask where you rented the vehicle from in South Africa, i.e. where the most convenient departure location for a trip into Botswana and Namibia is? It'd be great to see the route you took, too.
We've done it two ways. This trip we flew into Windhoek and out of Victoria Falls (dropping the vehicle off in Kasane). When we did just Botswana a few years before, we did a loop starting and ending in Johannesburg South Africa. A lot of it just depends on the rout you're looking to do and what you want to see. Both countries work really well as loops on their own, and each is definitely worth it's own trip. We've used the team at www.DriveBotswana.com to book for both trips and highly recommend them. Their website has some good itineraries, too. drivebotswana.com/travel-style/camping/
Thanks for sharing. I wonder if that pile of rocks toward the end might be where Aaron set up the golden calf. Looks like the perfect location to do so.
Well im from najran and im happy that you like the history of and it will be fun to share more of it with you if you want!
Well Erica assist me please, I know how to swim but I'm afraid I can't swim under pool, are u giving lessons on that also, I'm confused
Great set up! Just wondering, how did they attach the AluCab 3R RTT to the FrontRunner rack? I have the Slimline II from them and considering getting the 3R RTT as well... Thanks :)
Sorry for the delayed response. Those mounts are one of the only things on the FJ I didn't purchase and/or install myself... sorry! It's connected with three mounts on each side of the vehicle. Each mount is two parts - the first spans across two of the east/west bars of the slimline rack for better weight distribution. the second extends out from that like kind of like an L bracket, connecting to the rails on the bottom of the tent and then also extending out and (on the back two on each side) connecting to the side rails. It looks to be sized just right for the alucab, so it may be something directly from them. They've been helpful in the past when I was looking at things, so it might be worth reaching out to them to see if they can help you find it.
I applied for a research internship in KAUST
I see a lot of dead Coral. Nothing like when we dove it for 4 yrs in the 80's. Water clarity is terrible .Not good.

Did you get to go on the larger houseboat?
No, we stayed at the hotel while we were there. The houseboat was reserved for charters and other group trips during our stay.
Do you know any hostel for tourist in jeddah KSA
There are lots of hotels, but we're not familiar with an hostels. Since we live nearby, we're not familiar with many of the lodging options. Sorry!
Great video you have inspired me to go here thanks
Go for it! Hope you have an amazing trip!
Enjoy your life, emigrant! Are you legal?
what time of the year have you been there?
We were in Etosha during June.
That is some very rugged landscape, and absolutely Beautiful ✝️🇺🇸😃
Hey guys just found your channel however I couldn't find the video with the information I was looking asides from this video; my question is how did you guys buy a house on a tourist visa? I thought the Kingdom doesn't allow non-citizens to own property/make KSA their permanent residence
Thanks for reaching out. We rent our home, and we're on a residency work permit/visa as we work here. We made this video back in 2021 when the new Saudi Tourist Visa came out since there wasn't a lot of info on it at the time.
I love u and home
I can personaly recomend Pangolin Photo Safaris having been there this year. You will come away a better photographer, due to their expertise and guidence. I felt empowered and more confident in myself. And I owe it to Pangoloin Photo Safaris
Completely agree! We also came away from the experience better photographers. They are great at supporting everyone at different levels and helping everyone learn something.
I have been wanting to go to Botswana and specifically with Pangolin. just haven't done it yet. How many days did you spend at Chobe? Did you also go to Okavonga Delta?
We spent 5 nights at Pangolin this time, and it was wonderful! We spent just one night there back in 2018 when we were self driving around Botswana and we were immediately hooked. We've been to the Okavango Delta on our own, but we'd love the chance to go with Pangolin.
Mohammed killed all the jews and christians who did not convert to Islam, Mohammed was a war lord and committed genocide to spread Islam. Also its the place where Mohammed was poisoned by a jewish lady because Mohammed killed her family and later he died from that poisoning.
Another awesome video, guys. Thanks so much for bring your adventures to us.
Thanks! We had a fantastic time in Botswana!
Omg Abby 😍
You have an amazing place ! I just watched because I know little about living in Saudi Arabia. Most of my knowledge was corrupted by some negative perceptions but, it seems, like Saudi Arabia can be a fantastic place to live given the right circumstances. I am too old now but, if I had my life over again, I would give the place a serious look knowing what I have learned so far :). Thanks for this.
Is it difficult to get residence? You only get it with work permit? How to apply? Thanks 😊

Wonderful house, wonderful video is this housing only for expats? Thinking of one day relocating to Saudi for work (I’m a US citizen) this was a cool video to give a little bit of insight of what your living situation is like so thank you
