Kgalagadi: What are the wilderness trails like? [Kgalagadi Ep 2]

- After hosting 10 lions in our campsite in the previous episode [ • Ten Lions in our camp ... ] in this episode we drive the Mosomane and Polentswa Wilderness Eco Trails in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park which straddles the border between South Africa and Botswana. This entails camping unfenced 95km from the nearest humans. The wilderness trails on the Botswana side of the park provide a true wilderness experience. With large predators wandering freely through your camp it is up to you to act sensibly and to stay safe - we never encountered a game ranger. Only one group at a time is allowed on the trails so if you are craving seclusion this is for you. According to park rules you have to be a group of at least two vehicles though.We saw a wide variety of wildlife, including Springbok, Bat-eared foxes, Gemsbok (Oryx), Ostrich, Red Hartebeest, Blue Wildebeest, Steenbok, Eland, Lion and Cheetah as well as prolific birdlife. We again saw lions up close and even witnessed a Cheetah kill (unfortunately quite far away). We were amazed to find a pan with water in it, complete with wading birds.We had to deal with dry grasses accumulating around our vehicles’ exhaust systems and grass seeds blocking radiators despite the use of a seed net - but it was certainly worthwhile.We stayed at Mosomane, Nossob, Polentswa, Sesatswe and Lang Rambuka campsites.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video as always especially when you film my favorite animal, the lions!
You are very good at what you do sir!
Thank you for sharing. I’m living vicariously through you. Just want to let you know that I subscribed to your channel.
Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Yes, lions are very special and the Kgalagadi is one of the best places to see them. Thank you, as always I really appreciate your encouragement.
Very nicely done. Makes me want to go back and re-experience the wild of the Kalahari.
Thank you for sharing. Subscribed and looking forward to more of this!
Thank you, I really appreciate the encouragement and especially the subscription.
Some lovely footage, especially of the oryx running alone away from the camera on that pan. Also, really interesting to see the red hartebees display.
Thanks - very glad you enjoyed it!
Hallo, julle - heng, dit is lekker om julle te sien, en die beeldmateriaal is absoluut pragtig!
Baie dankie! Hoop dit gaan goed met julle.
@@overlandersa - Dit gaan goed !! Julle moet bietjie kyk na die YT channel: Beauty of Africa, hulle sit daar op videos genoem: South Africa today - julle kan lekker exposure kry daar vir jou channel.
Hier is 'n link na die jongste een van vandag ... th-cam.com/video/cfmWABCRqmU/w-d-xo.html
@@alidapretorius5890 Dankie!
Fantastic upload. Amazing to see so plenty water at Sesatswe Pan!
Wow, that's a big compliment from someone with a channel like yours. Yes, we were very surprised at the water in Sesatswe pan which even featured some wading birds. As we approached we initially thought it's a mirage!
Excellent! Sesatswe Pan was a surprise...
Yes, we were quite flabbergasted to find that it had water complete with wading birds!
That is what I call a proper safari!
Yes, and the great thing is that you can do it on your own.
Great video, keep 'em coming!
Thanks! (Also for your kind guidance yesterday) There's one more Kgalagadi episode, and after that I intend to do one about a trip in the Namib. Do subscribe if you do not want to miss it😊
@@overlandersa Look forward to it!
I am a keen subscriber already, enjoy your channel immensely.
Cheers
Puik episode dankie vir deel
Plesier! Kgalagadi is my gunsteling park...
Great video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video! What an amazing adventure you guys had! I happen to notice the massive rig you have/build for your camera on the car, is this something you bought somewhere or made yourself? We are planning a longer trip to Southern Africa and looking for gimmick just like these as we love taking pictures!
Thanks for the compliment! It really was a great adventure. The door mount is a commercial product and works well - you can find out more here www.gimprogear.com/product/door-mount
@@overlandersa, thank you! I will have a look on their website!
Jah jy moet weet hou om koffie te maak 😀om te you tube te minste 15 min van die video 😀
Net so! Maar ons gebruik kitskoffie en dis glad nie "cinematic" nie. Mens kan glad nie daardie stadige aksie drup drup van die koffie doen nie...
Netjies, die afwesigheid van holruggeryde koffie, kos en karre is verfrissend.
Baie dankie, ek al begin dink dis verpligtend om te wys hoe jy koffie maak... Ek is wel besig om te werk aan 'n video oor voertuigkeuses.
Stem saam - wil 'n dokumentêr sien, nie iemand se vakansie video nie. Het self die Mabuasehube na Nossob roete in April gedoen en het mooier Kalahari landskappe en meer wild gesien as wat ek verwag het.
