- Overlanding The Central Kalahari Episode 2
This was 14 day trip, in the month of March 2020, 09th to the 22nd, with 12 days in the CKGr itself. Travelling from South Africa, into Botswana, all the way up to the Northern part of the CKGR where we enter the wilderness reserve at Matswere Gate, and travel the full length down to exit at Khutse game reserve.
In this episode we leave Sunday Pan campsite on day 6, and begin the long drive down the entire CKGR, staying at Letihau campsite 1 night, Xade campsite 1 night, Bape campsite 1 night, and Malose camp 1 night, and we end our CKGR adventure at Khutse campsite 2 nights.
Thank you Ed and Chris for shared footage, and to everyone for what was surely an epic trip. Awesome travels and adventures chaps.

hello ryan love you from india watching all your episodes
Thank you, and we love you too. Glad you enjoying the channel, and don't forget to share. Much appreciated 🙌🙌
Hi there Ryan. Marvelous videos . Which app do you use, to view routes taken or to be taken ? What equipment do you suggest taking , for such a trip ? What type of vehicle would be used, besides the high ground clearance ? Any mods required ?
So when are we going again? Lekker episode Mate! 🙌
Thanks Chris 🙌 We go as soon as the borders open, and at least costs get covered 🤪
Watched the 3 episodes. Make me want to get into my LandCruiser 200 and hit the road. Nice episodes mate. Viva Centurion
Thanks Kagiso, appreciate it. Hope you get to hit the road soon. Viva adventure
Magic Episode Mate!! Thanks for the journey!
*FIRST* - number 1 fan. Thank you Ed, *LEGEND* , now we wait for the 2 dislikes . . . wander who those fellas are? _Announce yourselves._
I paused the vid to look at the tent “set up”
It looks amazing….sleeping out there in the bush like that must be magic beyond.
One day maybe I’ll get to do it.
All I can say is magic
Thanks Ryan
Excellent adventure and videography. keep up the great work and see you on the next adventure. Cheers!
You continue to raise the bar with content, Ryan 😉💪🏾!! Great video ... brilliant shots - the anxiety of chasing time to spot the 🦁 in such vast spaces.
Kudos to you and team (Ed, Rowen, Christoff) for the patience - paid off handsomely 😄👍🏾
Thank you Itumeleng. Yeh mate, this was a really special trip for me. Makes it a bit easier to create magic. The lions were tough going, and at one stage I thought they were tormenting us. But what a way to finish a trip. Magic, and thank you for your comment. Appreciated 🙌

All good mate. Growing up there and living there for 19.5 yes, its kind of my home away from home, I miss it. Yeh mate, if only they could jump on board and help out. Botswana is just too magic, and the Tswana people are fantastic. We will be back to create more magic mate. Thank you for your kind words and support 🤙
Looks like an incredible experience; the magic of Africa really stands out in your video. Well done!
Thank you Alex. Glad it came through and worked. Playing around and mixing it up. Appreciate your feedback. 🤟
CKGR is Astonishing. I enjoyed watching every frame of Ep 1 & 2. Being a film maker my self I know how difficult it is to get a perfect shot.

Feel like we can live this adventure with you. Gorgeous commentary
I'm slowly building up my Breand sprankin new ISUZY D-MAX All terrain(top variants) for this kinds of trips and tour. 2 inch suspensions lift with sets of 33s A/T. Winch, Bullbars, rock-sliders done. But still more to come like camping equipment, auxiliary batteries and lights. It's gonna take time. Hopefully I, could hooked with you guys up in the mid or late 2022.

Thank you Stephen. Glad you enjoyed it 🤟
Thanks again - another fantastic trip. 20,000km away but just got out our Botswana maps for next trip planning.
Excellent episode Ryan. Watching it just makes me want to pack the gear and head off.
😂😂😂😂 100% it does the same to me mate. Let's hope we can get out sooner than later. We'll see you out there 🤙
II enjoyed your trip very much . Thank you.
Hats off to the 2.2, it ran with some big dogs there. Welcome back, Ryan!
Thank you Andre. Yes, it did well, almost. Lost my first drive shaft out there in the Kalahari . . . what a learning and what an adventure. The 2.2 is a tough little motor, but, I'm now on my third drive shaft. Still love the Ranger, and a great first 4x4 for me. Magic vehicle, a great under dog with nothing to lose really. Cheers mate
Really top quality content. Will definitely be following.
thanks for actual technical details of road between Xade and Bape, mostly 4H on 2nd,3rd,4th. about 16.5l/100km. must be easy just long
Not necessarily easy, depending on the time of year. Thanks though and happy adventures
@@4x4ventures_southafrica we just completed the trail with 5 bakkies, Hilux, Navara, Isuzu, fx4, wildtrak. It is a fun trail and mostly 4H and some 2H driving. We found it is the length that is taxing. Sometime BDF trucks widen the tracks making for a very interesting drive
Thanks for all your effort and sacrifices you made to share such great content with us. Looking forward to more of this
Only a pleasure and thank you for your support. It goes along way with motivating us, and helps the channel. Keep well and look forward to the next one 🤟
I am coming with you guys next time lol, what an experience it was watching you guys, my country is really beautiful!
You always come with us through the episodes. Yes, Bots is special. Glad you enjoyed this one and thank you for your comment. Appreciated 🤟
This expedition was absolutely SPLENDID!! True African wilderness. Gr8 episode and gr8 editing. Keep it coming bro..
Thank you Andrew. Glad you enjoyed. 🙌
Great series this guys - loved it!! Look forward to the next adventure.
Thank you mate. Glad you enjoyed the series, and for all your motivation and epic map animations. You rock dude, and look forward to taking you on the next series 🤙
I'm leaving this one until the choppies are done, and my glass is filled with a lekker Richelieu and coke. Can't wait.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that mate sounds like a good plan! Now tou talking. Lekker and hope you enjoy 🤟
No no no dude all good until the last bit.... try it with a glass of Rust en Vrede Sirah....
Beautiful life
So so awesome and very nicely put together! super cool guys!!!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it legend 🤟
I spotted shot of your mudtrax mounted on the rack ... where can I get same colour scheme? They look good - I struggle with bright colours
100% so the trax are called ARB treds. You can get them from any 4x4megaworld. Love these things and they are built tough. Solid bit of kit. Expensive but worth it. Good choice 🤟
4x4ventures Awesome, thanks Ryan. Past weekend I drove past a 4x4 Megaworld but was light on stock - I’ll try a different store.
No worries. Yeh, the CARONA has hurt shipments big time across all sectors. You can also get black MAX Traxx recovery tracks. Also a good brand, tough and reliable. The 2 brands compete and are very similar. They do the job. Goodluck and may the force be with us all mate
An Awesome production once again !! Well done Ryan.
Thank you Johan. Much appreciated and glad tou enjoyed this one. Keep well and stay safe mate 🙌
thoroughly enjoyed your trip, I have to get my cruiser over there from Australia and see this in real life for myself.
I would highly recomend that mate. It is something else, that words just don't have justice over. When you on your way, you give me a shout. Cruiser and all, we go wild in Africa 🤙
@@4x4ventures_southafrica Definitely will give you a shout out when I come over. The virus thing has to be sorted first, where not allowed to leave Aust at the moment......
Yeh, same here Chris. Been in lockdown now for 7 months, but as of the 1st October, we can travel cross border. Enjoy, and thank you for your support. Beers on me when you get here legend 🤟
Excellent content and amazing footage.
Thank you 🤙
Awesome Ryan!
Thanks Simon. Much appreciated
Thank for sharing Mate..
You're welcome bud 🙌
Really enjoy this channel, top quality man!
Thank you Richard. Much appreciated 🤟
Great quality content! Really enjoyed it
Thank you 🤟
Great video!!
Thank you Marco. Enjoy the series 🤟
Your videos are amazing. Watched your buddies and now onto yours. Question for you. What camps would you highly recommend for CKGR if doing 10-12 nights. I am looking to do next year April and May. Going solo so a bit apprehensive of the black cotton soil. My time would be limited by fuel and water but have a cruiser with 240 liters fuel and am guessing that I could go the Xade or Matswere to top up water. Will travel with about 120litres Of water.
Hi Alpesh. Thanks mate for the kind words. I think you have a solid plan already. 120ltr is good for 13 days a 10 ltrs and day. For more info, sign up to my patreon www.patreon.com/4x4ventures I appreciate your support, and glad you enjoy the show 👍
What is the name of the song that is being sung by the kids at the beginning of this episode?
Hi! we will be doing the same route nect moth. Will be doing it in 5 days. We have a 140L fule tank. You think is enough or should we take some Jerrys?
Hi, yes, always take jerries. 40 ltrs at minimum. Always er in the side of caution. I have 160 ltrs and still take extra fuel. Enjoy your adventure
You all have a plast wow wow who
What rock sliders are those, looks like stofpad?
STOFPAD box rock sliders. Mint
Howsit what gps/map systems did you use and did you take a satellite phone
Hi Trev, yes, we took and always take at least one sat phone. We also had two SPOTX GPS beacons for message, and panic button options. We use Garmin, Tracks4Africa for bush navigation, and Google maps around main roads and towns.
Your fuel bill must be enormous
Not to mention wear and tear on your vehicle
Let’s be honest
Very few could do what you do
But it’s nice to see things I’ll never get to see
So thanks Ryan
One question
Hilux??
You’d have had a better time don’t you think?
Ford is good but won’t handle severe pressure.
Hilux D4D is the way to go in future
No sh-t
Yes yes and yes, very thankful that I have a very supportive community not to mention brand sponsorships. It all helps. Please feel free to sign up to my Patreon page and help me get out there and inspire, or smash that thank button below the episode and make a donation. The work I do is expensive and your help is appreciated. I do these shows exactly for that reason. To take you on the adventure mate and share the wilds of Southern Africa.
Glad you enjoy the show and thank you for sharing your insights
Damn. Any more negative advice, China? From a former Rhodesian. And why aren''t you showing the campsite and evening sessions anymore?
