Thank you for your lovely feedback, so happy that you enjoyed travelling with us. 😉

Thanks Barbara, was a little sunburned on top, next time, less coals on top. But it was delicious. 🤤

Here are some directions from Khwai Village to Mbudi and on to Magotho (Khwai Community Trust) on the Khwai River. I hope this is useful. maps.app.goo.gl/cqbfmvipLLc92Lyp9?g_st=ic

@SoulTonicLife Thank you. I have an idea now.

The road from Polentswa is a gravel road that is sandy in places mixed with corrugations until you turn off north onto a two spoor. Mostly soft sand, no problem with correct tyre pressure in 4x4. The scenery was beautiful similar to the road to Mabuasehube just less traveled @ExpeditionBotswana maps.app.goo.gl/VVHtU5fkP2mBCEUq9?g_st=ic

@@SoulTonicLife Thank you so much, I'm considering doing two rivers to Kaa gate next year. This is after seeing the series.

@@ExpeditionBotswana Great! Our experience on the Botswana side of Kglagadi Transfrontier Park was next level. If you are set up for wild camping it is overall a much better experience. The unfenced Camps are private and a much more immersive experience with the Kalahari and its wildness. Enjoy!

Sanctuary for a peaceful mind. 👍

ThankkkkYou

Thanks for joining us Werner and for your kind words.

That makes us very happy 😊thanks for sharing.

My hoed is uit die boonste rakke🙌

That’s for sure 👍🏼

😊🥰geez!!! What amazing feedback, thank you very much.

Thanks Thebe, for your lovely comment, must say we really enjoyed the tented camp, regular camping was full, so rather than miss 3rd bridge we stayed there and had an amazing time.

Ahh the bush is always whispering in our ears, any excuse to go. Glad you enjoyed the episode 😉

May/June 2024

Thanks for the lovely comment. We must have just missed you, but I have no doubt that you had a great time, 2 of our favourite places.

Ahhhh,thank you Leon 🥰

@ Rustig Peacefully 🙏

Yes, the full recipe is in Ep:4 this was just me trying out Barbara’s recipe. Very easy and super successful. 👌

🤣🤣no idea who you are referring to, with regards to the morning and non-morning person 🤣 we know you would love Moremi, it really is an Eden. Something for the bucket list 😉

Hello Julien and Michelle, so nice to hear from you, how can we forget you after a lovely evening chatting. Hope the ER hasn’t been to hectic! Yup, Botswana is amazing, so much to explore, happy you are enjoying our episodes. Yup the plan is to go to Angola next year, you thinking of heading up as well 😉

The ER has been rather hectic lately but that makes you dream of some new adventures in the bush to find that true “soul tonic”! Although your gin tonic was also lovely under the moremi stars 😊 Are you planning to go up to Angola in a group or do you think it is safe enough to go with one car? Angola is definately on the bucket list, but with the building of our house it will probably be 2026. Hope to meet you again in the bush for a nice chatty catty evening! Kind regards, Julien&Michelle

@julienvanoosten5177 nothing like the bite of reality to make one dream of wild and wonderful places, where the modern world doesn’t intrude. We are quite happy adventuring on our own, but not adverse to “good company”. Your plates sound full at the moment, building a home is a major job,!a journey of another kind. Wishing you both a lovely festive season and warm wishes.

@@SoulTonicLife Hopefully one day we meet again in a remote place under the stars!! There is much to explore, also thinking about the Liuwa plains in Zambia. We wish you both a very good festive season and we definately keep in touch! If you ever visit the Netherlands (although it would not know why hahah) feel free to contact us, you are more than welcome. Kind regards, Julien&Michelle

Right back at you two as well, if you in Cape Town or we meet in the bush, would be lovely to enjoy a fire and a blanket of stars. The world is a small place and there is much to discover. 👍🏼😉😘

Welcome back Steve, where the Roman’s once lived, nice to have you back 👌

Oh wow, what a coincidence. She sounds like an interesting character. What we can comment on, is that she chose a beautiful location to set up camp. 👍🏼

For those who want to know - Veronica Roodt was a prominent conservationist, researcher, and author who spent over three decades living and working in Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve. Originally from South Africa, she devoted her life to studying the flora, fauna, and ecology of the Okavango Delta. Roodt was deeply involved in nature conservation, contributing significantly to Botswana’s tourism industry through her research and publications, which became essential resources for safari guides and wildlife enthusiasts. Her works include detailed maps and guidebooks such as The Shell Tourist Map of Moremi Game Reserve, and educational books like Grasses and Grazers of Botswana and Trees and Shrubs of the Okavango Delta: Medicinal Uses and Nutritional Value. These publications highlight her expertise in local ecosystems and the relationships between plants, animals, and humans. Roodt lived alone in a remote bush camp within Moremi, where she conducted her research and wrote extensively. Her life in the wild embodied her passion for conservation and her dedication to preserving the unique environment of the Delta. She passed away in 2022 at the age of 65, at her camp, surrounded by the landscape she cherished   .

Thanks for your awesome comment. I was not even aware that this channel is watched by non english speaking nationalities. I will see what I can do on my side to help👍

@@SoulTonicLife Thank you! I'm talking about Brazil. I imagine it must be in the editing of the video because I always watched it normally using Google Translate. Cheers

Thanks for your feedback, so happy you finally get to go in September, exciting business. It really is a special place. 👌

@SoulTonicLife Thank you 🙏🏾

Totally on another level, I have no doubt you will have an amazing time. Where are you heading to?

Thank you Superfan your are the best🙌

Always!!!! The nicest feedback ❤️

Hey Shaun, as always thanks for your lovely feedback. We really had an incredible time at Nxai pan.

Yes Zimbabwe is definitely on our adventure radar. 👍

Thanks for your feedback 👌Baines baobabs definitely deserves 2 nights, very tranquil and otherworldly ☺️

What cool feedback, thank you ☺️ Lots of nice things coming up 👍🏼

🤣🤣and that is a fair drive backwards! He was clearly considering whether he wanted to fill my frame a little bit more, or not. Maybe he was enjoying testing Andy’s reversing skills 🤦🏻‍♀️ was it with the trailer or without?

@SoulTonicLife thankfully it was before we got the trailer 😂

🤣👍🏼

Great 👍🏼 thank you for following along 🤩

Hey Roy, always lovely feedback, thank you. Lots more adventures lying ahead ☺️👌

Thank Youuu! So happy to have you along on our adventures 👍🏼

Hi Danie, thank you for the lovely comment, happy to hear. Both Nxai pan and Baines baobabs are a must. 👍🏼

Thanks for the cool comment 😉 we live for the moments of wide open spaces, wild animals, remote corners where the masses and the hustle and bustle fade into the ether. Sending you good vibes and a little taste of your other world 😉

Thank you Stephen - where the Roman's once lived👍

👍​@@SoulTonicLife

Thanks for your comment…Nxai has become one of our favorite. I would love to come back a bit earlier in the season to see the big migrating herds 👍

Oh wow!🤩 thanks Shaun 🌝🐺 sorry a wolf will have to do, can’t find any jakkals emoji’s

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😉

WoW you are still carrying the good vibes of Kubu Island from 2019🙌

So lank dit net sy poep string is, en nie iets anders is. 🤣 happy you enjoyed this episode. 😉

@@lmcc9426 We unfortunately don’t have a photo. I can however make a screen grab to share with you. It was a beautiful moment seeing those elephants communing. It is amazing how the universal language of love transcends the animal kingdom. We observing the different-languages of animal behaviour. Thanks for the lovely comment.

And to you Shaun🏆for always offering supportive and kind words. You guys give us the vavooma to keep producing content. Thank you

Thank Q! We really had a good time as well, what with dangerous trees snatching the drone, tree climbing escapades and very, up close and personal interactions with the elephant. 🐘 good fun all round.

So pleased to hear that you are enjoying our videos. It was our first stay at Nxai Pans and we really enjoyed ourselves. The game spotting was great and the elephant interaction, quite something. Must say when they are that close, the already taller than normal ellies seem even taller and quite imposing. But the whole vibe was very relaxed and quite special. Mana pools is definitely on our bucket list, but the camping fees seem inordinately high 😳
