- In episode 2 of this epic series@4x4ventures_southafrica , @GetOutGO and myself travel from Khama Rhino Sanctuary North to Nxai Pan National Park and spend 3 nights at the amazing South Camp. Being our first time in Nxai Pan National Park we didn't know what to expect but it certainly surpassed our expectations as we had some amazing encounters.

Passed by Nxai Pan last week Friday and this whole video replayed on my mind, so i had to come back and watch it again😍😍😍
Finally,, someone pronounces Botswana correctly
Nxai Pan is amazing!
It certainly is! Love watching your stuff James! Keep it up 🙏
@@EdwardBath Loving your stuff too!
Enjoying your videos. As a SA living in oz and not being able to travel for 2 yrs it’s great visiting all my favourite places thorough your videos. Nxai Pan is one of my favourite places. The secret is to sit at the large waterhole and let the game come to you. Elephants, lions, cheetahs. Seen them all while just sitting quietly. Lanner falcons are common too. Campsite 10 is my favourite spot too. Have had elephants walk right through on many occasions. Thankfully get to go bush in May.
Edward i miss this episode ja one word Epic
Dankie Shaun!
Men you really like coffee!
Thoroughly enjoy your down to earth videos - just plain and normal - without pretense. Thanks for sharing.
bahagia sekali mr. bisa keliling afrika
I'm studying your videos and taking notes! We're planning a trip in 2022. How do find out if a gas station in out of commission pre going there? Do any apps track this?
The best camp trip buddies I am always on the look out for videos. With our camper trailer as the one towed in the 200 Land Cruiser, I always watch the videos with my wife for recipes and best food to carry. One of our best camps sites had been Santa Maria, Mozambique. Keep it up gents...blessings
Another awesome episode Ed, this is a great series! I had an awesome time traveling with you gents!
Thank you mate! It was a trip to remember that’s for sure🙌
cool!! Nie geweet julle ken mekaar nie. Wou vir jou hierdie wys want dit het my aan jou laat dink :D :D Lekker man lekker.
My very own country....thank you guys for these wonderful videos!!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!
Awesome episode mate. EPIC just doesnt donthis justice. What a great adventure and your footage is so high end and quality is awesome. Thanks for this one. Excellent 🤟
Ryan Crocker.Had a feeling it was you.Greetings from your former class mate!!
wooow mi Botswana👌👌👌👌
Hahahaha you know I have watched these episodes more than 5 times but I can't get enough the lion part
It certainly gave us a fright! Thanks for the constant support!
I’m now addicted to your videos. my wife spotted the Ranger and said isn’t that the guys you obsessed with 😂. Saw yourself and Andre on the N1 towards fourways the other day.
Hahah that’s awesome mate! 😂🙌 thank you for supporting us, you are a legend!
another dope episode, yes!
Thank you 🙏
What an episode, and an even better adventure. Fantastic footage of your trip and amazing quality. Looking forward to the next one with you mate, always a privilege to travel to these amazing destinations. Well done bud
Thank you mate! Really appreciate the kind words, always a pleasure to travel with you. Bring on CKGR!
such an adventurous and insightful episode!...keep doing this Edward!... travelling is therapeutic!!!
Thank you so much!🙌 it certainly is 🙌
We had six that spend a day and night with us.
They spend the day at stand 1.
Fantastic!Eishhhh that FORD-I don't trust
Thank you! The Ford is actually a superb overlander, very underrated!
Wonderful story told.
Thank you!
Great episode bud! really enjoyed watching it!
Thank you mate! 🙏
You videos are not just entertaining, but educational as well. I always wondered what was the net in front of the car for, now I know. I love how the game drives are not crowded, it's just you guys, the animals and the wilderness. I just exhale watching your videos, keep it up mates 👊
Thank you so much for the awesome comment and support mate!
Sad and long drive from gate to South Camp, visited in June 2019...side of road where both sides higher than the vehicle....but the water hole made up for it.
good videos hope u guys visit Kenya:-🇰🇪,,,n visit Massai marai game reserve its epic☺️
Thanks so much! The Mara is definitely on our list!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Quick question on the LC200 and the various road conditions/ portages etc. apart from usual sand Tyres deflation, did you make much/ any use of low range/ central diff lock and the various low range modes that come standard with the vehicle? Specifically also in the water crossings? Couldn’t find any specific comments made in the video?
Hey Cheryl! I engage the centre differential lock as soon as I hit any dirt road and on this specific trip I did not use low range
@@EdwardBath Thank you, useful. Not sure when your timing was, and whether you have a separate gearbox temp gauge? my concern would be hot, very loose sand and although high range copes, gearbox could be working really hard and hot?
@@EdwardBath - one more thing - I forgot. Traction control. Assume you switch that off too? (properly - with the long press of the button!)
Very well produced, well done man.
Thank you mate!
Ed, as you know I was there over the same period as you guys and I did not have any issues with T4A on my Garmin DriveSmart™ 65. Even on the dodgy tracks in Chobe, around Kwai and inside Moremi. It was spot on every time.
Hi Niel, have you disconnected the Garmin maps and are only running the T4A maps on the garmin? I’ve found out now that if that’s the case then the T4A works perfectly 🙌
Yes, That's correct. There were some issues in Namibia though, when I ran both the Garmin maps and T4A Nam maps...but what the hell even a bit of getting lost in those areas are awesome!
Niel Malan getting lost is definitely part of the adventure!
I must say I haven't had too many issues on the app (IOS). Sometimes camps' GPS coordinates aren't correct though (like Baines campsites). Thus not a software issue, just not correct.
@@EdwardBath Hi Ed, glad you worked this out. I have send you a mail to get in contact wrt Tracks4Africa. But yes, only your T4A Maps should be selected else the Garmin will be confused. Good video, was booked to go here in June but with COVID thats long gone.
Awsome content mate, you just earned yourself a subscriber 👍
Obakeng Tseleng thank you very much mate! I really appreciate it! 🙌
As always Edward, another great video. Thanks to binge-watching your videos I was convinced to get my own Jetboil Flash which is enroute (courtesy of Takealot). But now, I have a question. Do you guys also use the jetboil for hot water to wash dishes, cadac gas cookers or, to save gas, do you guys just use cold water, potent liquid soap and elbow grease to wash dishes? Your videos only show the alluring elements of safari life but none of the menial camping tasks like crushing tins, smart litter and washing dishes after those gourmet bush meals.
Hi Sean, thank you so much for watching all the videos and for the kind words! I hope you enjoy your JetBoil 🙌 we have gas geysers in our off-road trailers connected to 5kg Cadac gas bottles to wash up dishes🙌 I will be doing a trailer and vehicle walk around video soon explaining all the ins and outs.
Glad to see you JHB boytjies doing a lot of braaing. Was worried that Ryan might be on a vegetable diet bwhaha. Lekker video man!
Jonker Adventures Dankie meneer!😂🙌
Thanks for sharing Edward .I just wanted to know why do you have a rooftop tent on the 200 as well as pulling your trailer .Just wondering .
Hi Sarel, I generally take the rooftop tent on the car for the 1 night stopovers on the route, it’s much less work than the trailers to set up so for the 1 nighters it’s works well!🙌
Fantastic video Ed. Planning my trip up there based on where you guys headed out to - very informative. When did you guys go? Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words!🙌 we went in January, just after Nxai pan had received decent rainfall🙌🇧🇼 its definitely a trip worth doing!
Hi there, awesome vid thank you, quick question what time of the year were you there?
Thank you so much Ash! We were there in January 2020, in the middle of summer (Botswana’s rainy season)
What a brilliant episode mate:D Its the third time Ive watched this series. Thank you for putting the work in to bring it to us.
Thank you so much Vik! I really appreciate the awesome comments and support! You my friend are a legend!
Beautiful place Nxai pan. The first time we went there the road was a nightmare.The parks advised us to leave the trailer at the gate.
It certainly is an amazing place! Wow, that sounds hectic! The road wasn’t too bad in January, any off-road trailer should make it 🙌
What is the best position, to enjoy the 🌃 without being surprised by wild animals, fire, videofeed or drone, or rattles strung on a fishing lane to make noise and alert you,?? Just something to heighten security in good time??
We are just aware of our surroundings. It’s a nice feeling, you shouldn’t be scared to go out there just be aware and don’t venture too far away from the safety of the vehicle and then you will be fine.
Wow. Lots of talking faces and very few views. Guys!!!! Get a balance please
Chris M if you don’t like it then don’t watch it, it’s a travel vlog so there’s always going to be people in it giving advice and sharing the experience.
@@EdwardBath .
Greetings. I wouldn't bother commenting if I felt you couldn't do better. You very obviously are talented and knowledgeable. You could do better and get more views
Howzit dude, thanks but your comment doesn’t come across as constructive it comes across as aggressive and as far as I can see you are the only one with a problem with this video. The reason why I don’t have more views is because that’s how TH-cam works, in fact this has the most views on my channel. All us Overland Vloggers get the same views so your point doesn’t make sense, let me remind you that you are getting this content for free and no one is paying us to shoot a certain way out there so then why do you have the privilege to dictate how I do what I do, you watch that entire video which included some insane visuals of elephants drinking at a waterhole and then you pick out the negatives? Rather come back with constructive feedback, there are plenty of people commenting here who love the show so what do you mean but “the only reason I would bother commenting” anyway dude if you like the content subscribe and come along for the journey and yes I do try my best to listen to my audience ( the ones who put down respectful and constructive comments) and improve every video.
