- In April 2021 we took our Gen 3 Suzuki Jimny on an epic adventure across Botswana. With our route plan done by Ultimate Routes we spent 30 days exploring the most beautiful and wild places we have ever experienced.
In Part 3, we travel to Khwai Mogoto Camp along the Khwai River which is nestled between the Moremi and Chobe National Parks and spend 5 days exploring up the incredible Okavango.
A full rig walk around is coming soon!
(here is a quick description)
Modular design custom back board, fridge box + slider and double sided removable pigeonhole by John Leyden - DM for details.
Interior & overlanding gear upgrades to Jimnothy were done by African Sky Adventure Company - This includes our battery system, fridge, extra lights, awning, strengthened and serviced our Front Runner Roof Rack, refitted our roof top tent to accommodate two jerrycans and had previously fitted the Front Runner under roof rack table kit, the drop down tailgate prep table, and the African Sky interior roof storage net. www.afriskyadventure.co.za/

WOW dis kamp op sy beste epic episode
Agree 🤩
Nice! I'm glad you took the wrong road and got lost here and there, it makes for a more interesting video instead of the usual generic videos where everyone goes to the same places. Enjoyed it thankyou.
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you both 😊
Thanks so much for reaching out. Its greatly appreciated 😊
Awesome video guys
Awesome episode, guys - thank you! Khwai always delivers the magic 🤩🦁
Thank you so much! It really does :)
Woow! This was a proper proper adventure. Good job guys
Wow guys! Best video yet!!! Those elephants in the camp site was insane!! Miss you guys!
Thanks guys!! Miss you too!
Wow enjoyed your journey. Some scary moments , but your lion sighting and filming thereof must rank as some of your best filming. You were very brave near the elephants at night . Thank you for sharing your amazing adventure👍🐾🐾🐾
We are so glad you enjoyed it. That lion sighting is one of our best and luckiest!
Another awesome episode. Being scared to have dinner with those lions around really drives home the wildness and immersion in nature. Hoping to do a similar trip one day.
Thank you so much! Yes the fear was definitely real that night, haha.
A truly magical video, many thanks for posting. I have a three week self drive camping safari in Namibia for October 2022. Hopefully Botswana in August 2023. Tracks4Africa maps are invaluable. Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you so much! Namibia is incredible! We were there in 2019 in an Amarok but we are desperate to go back with the Jimny :) Have the best time!!
Thanks for sharing this guys, I’m looking at doing something similar in 2023/2024 between nam, bots, zim, zam, mal and moz in a jimny. I am looking at at few other vehicle options but keen on jimny. How often were you in full 4x4 in the jimny?
You will have the best time! Sounds like the trip of a life time.
You should put a Jimny into 4H pretty much as soon as you hit the dirt (stability). and for the most part we didn't need to go to 4L. Its was very fuel efficient and able to do everything the other bigger vehicles could do. Its lighter, so it means the car would sit on top of the soft sand a lot, rather than sink in like most other vehicles. We would advise the bare minimum of a 50mm lift kit on the Jimny though, and tyres with a stronger tyre wall.
just veggies nope
