- This is our first time visiting the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and it was an amazing adventure. Beautiful scenery and heavily corrugated road. The camps are top class and this was just our first day.
We spent the first night at Twee Rivieren and then made our way to Mata Mata.
We are camping in Gunnland our 79 series Land Cruiser and it remains our favourite way to see Africa!
We accidentally shot this trip with an incorrect frame rate - so enjoy this a a more vlog style episode from us :)
So so exciting
That's incredible
Kenneth the time traveler, speaking from August 2023! Check 0.43 in the timestamp
Loving it...
hahahaha was waiting for this one 😂 I saw the error but the admin to fix that was to much of a hassle!!
@@GunnlandExplores I can imagine! Do you daily the cruiser?
Drive it when I want to, but try keep it mostly for trips and weekends away 😊
@@GunnlandExplores I've managed to wangle a Pajero which I daily but Cruisers are unmatched...
Firstly, welcome back, good to see you are well. Looking forward to your 2023 content. Great video as usual.
Howzit 😊 So stoked you are still around!! We got amazing content heading your way!!! 😉
Lekker man! Luister na die Nonnetjiesuil wat roep by 21:36 en die Witkoluiltjie net daarna. Let op die "Cape Foxes" of Silwerfosse was eintlik Bakoorjakkalse.
Brilliant… love the Kgalagadi and heading there in June again… glad to be able to watch your episodes again . Thanks for sharing and enjoy
Thanks man!! We got one more heading your way! We are back there in August 😊 Send us pics of your trip on insta!!!
@@GunnlandExplores Excellent… can’t wait … will do and hope to see you guys on the road sometime
Just re-watched this - we live in Aussie, I've never been to Africa, unlike my wife...she saw the ostriches & said she was terrified by them over there haha! I think they're much bigger than an Emu or even a Cassowary (now THEY are scary birds!!). The wildlife you show us just leaves me in awe, thank you so much to you both ✌️👍🙏
Amazing footage! Love the place but please It is galagadi not kalagadi
Thanks for sharing. Nice footage of little known Makuya, beautifull in summer.
😊😊
so looking forward to being in Africa later this year, great video guys 👏🐆👫
Africa is just so special!!! Thanks for watching 😀😀
Lekker vid you two, I'll be there next month can't wait. Visiting from London so hopefully a little warmer than it is here right now. It'll be my 3rd visit there, so looking forward to it. Keep the vids coming.
Hey Shaun!! Ah you guys are gonna enjoy it again so much!! What a gem! Busy working on the next Ep and then we have some Kruger stuff coming - but we have more Botswana, Zim, Mabua and Namibia in the pipeline for this year 😊
Awesome adventure 😎 Love the content
Greetings from limpopo and safe travels
Thanks bud!!! We had just gotten a new camera setup so it was a bit of a learning curve!! Thanks for watching 😉
Great channel guys. Please show us more of the campsites you staying at along the way. Love your vehicle set up. Safe travels
Thanks for the compliment 😊
Do you mean the surrounding area of the campsite or more of us in our campsite?? Thanks for the input 😊😊
@@GunnlandExplores more of the campsites themselves, with you guys in it :-) so we can see where you guys are staying and some of what the campsite has to offer. Thanks guys
Awesome episode and trip. You were lucky with that Van Zylsrus road. When we last did it, it was terrible.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Mr Bruce!! That’s what I keep hearing but it was perfect when we took it!! I am really hoping we get to do something in Zim 😉
@@GunnlandExplores for sure bud that would be awesome.
Hi thanks for the video they where Bat eared Foxes enjoy overlanding
I heard, when I saw them I just assumed that’s what they are!! lol 😊 Thanks for watching!!!
Cool video! We are going to the Kgalagadi end of March. Really looking forward.
Thanks guys!! Awesome, you are gonna love it!! 😊 We can’t wait to get back - looks like we are going in August
Cheeky cute squirrels coming for chicken lunch! Wow awesome Secratary Bird footage.
Those Cape foxes are so cute Are you 2 always so nice to each other?!! 😉
So jealous
Thanks for watching 😊😊 I have learnt that they are actually Bat Eared Foxes.. It is an amazing place!! We always try to be haha
Cruiser flippen epic the sunset at mata mata out of this world puik episode
Yes Shaun!! Thanks man!! Die sunsets daar is soos mens dit nog nooit gesien het nie!!!
Liked the video, learnt a lot. What time of year was it?
Kgalagadi is magical and the Botswana side even more so ( there’s just something about the wildness there) If you can try spend a few days in the Kaa section, almost guaranteed lion sightings at Swartpan.
Hi Mark!! We cannot wait to experience the Botswana side!! Noted, will definitely add that to our itinerary - hopefully we get back there in August this year
Beautiful julle!!!!
Thanks Bryan!!! 🙂
Welkom in die Kgalagadi. Julle sal weer terug wees - ‘n baie spesiale plek. Dis egter bakoorjakkels en nie Cape fox nie. Dankie vir die deel.
Dankie Izak!! Ons is hierdie jaar weer terug!! Ek hoor daai ding - ek het nie eers van dit geweet nie, en Cape Fox het net outomaties by my opgekom haha
Great Videos! Been following all the episodes. Any recommendation about the overnight from Joburg to Kgalagadi and supermarkets/fuel station before entering?
Hi Catherine!! That is so amazing to hear!!! When we went we didn’t overnight, so hesitant to just recommend anything without having done so.
There is fuel at Twee Rivieren (also the other campsites we stayed at - Mata Mata and Nossob) just take some cash, when we went their card machine was offline.. The shops inside the park are very basic, I would stock up with those supplies from home 😊😊
Thanks for sharing, the video is fantastic of the animals.
How's the IKamper holding out, good ?
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!! It is an incredible place.
Can’t complain, the usual signs of wear and tear are showing but it is still a 100% perfect RTT 😊😊
Awesome episode julle👌🏻
Thanks 🔥 Ons sit ep 2 more op 😊
@@GunnlandExplores fantasties ek sien uit😁
Dankie vir die mooi videos wil ook graag die Kgalagadi doen .Wat sal julle se is die beste tyd
Dankie Freddie - vrek ons is nie kundig genoeg om jou te antwoord nie - kyk vir Marius Niemann se channel (hy is sonder twyfel die Kgalagadi expert)
Thanks for your videos! Why don’t you get yourself a gas fire lighter, very useful things. Also, what do you use your Jackery for, as you obviously have a dual battery system? Just interested as I have just bought a River Pro
Thanks for watching 😁 Should definitely invest in a proper lighter!! We use the Jackery to charge camera batteries, laptops, drones etc (more sensitive electronics) The Jackery has a pure sine wave inverter for this - we haven’t as yet connected an inverter to the dual battery setup.
Gaan groot ek geniet n lepel smeer so leker😅 katebotter
Netjies!!!! My asemhaling verander na rustig as ons draai van teerpad af na die kalahari ligter van kleur sand paaie onbeskryflik mooi . As jy weer moet kies i kamper of alu -cab dak tent ?
Thanks meneer!! Ons sien so uit om weer te gaan en bietjie die Botswana kant te doen!! Ek vra myself daai vraag haha my volgende tent se enigste vereiste gaan wees kan ek my duvet en kussing daarin los en toemaak - want elke keer alles uitpak en weer later in sit is bietjie ‘n hassle
Good Video indeed…Do know where one can hire a 4x4 trailer?
I haven’t played around with a trailer set up before - will let you know who we used when we do it 🔥🔥
Question on your Cruiser, did you do the 2nd and 5th modification and is the cruiser other wise standard, exhaust?
Hey man, nope we didn’t do it, I thought about it but since we’ve gone up to 35s I don’t think it’s necessary - maybe someone can jump in here but my understanding is it a game changer mod, but if you go that big on tyres it’s not needed. I have only done the exhaust so far, but I think in the near future I will be looking at mapping the cruiser and changing the clutch 😊
Nice lekker video. Ek mis sommer nou die Kgalagadi 👌
Thanks man, kort jou daar vir die epic sightings!!!! 😊
👌😅 next time.
Bakoor jakals
Nice I gotta get back there. Is it weird I didn’t know you could camp at mata mata 🤔
We can’t wait to visit again!! This was our first time so we just went with the flow 😊 Mata Mata is awesome though!!!!
Hang on, peanut butter &honey together on a sarny?! Just no lol
Awesome ostrich fight scene,
You have got to give it a try 😉
Love it. Thanks very much. Interesting thing; in my Kgalagadi video (th-cam.com/video/38A8fqMvKrA/w-d-xo.html) I also referred to the fox as Cape Fox. However, it turns out that is the Bat-eared Fox. The Cape Fox (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_fox?wprov=sfti1) looks a bit like a jackal and the Bat-eared Fox (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat-eared_fox?wprov=sfti1) has the arched back. Interesting that we both made this mistake.
I am no expert but it is amazing how through this community I have learnt so much!!! Very interesting.. Now that I think about it I don’t even know how I just decided to call it that - think it was the first thing that popped in my mind 😂
Next time do it in Afrikaans, would have been better! 21:11 This is Bat-eared fox, not Cape fox, although there are Cape fox in the park as well.
Next time visit kenya
On the bucket list 😀
The foxes at 18:16 are Bat-eared foxes, not Cape foxes 😅
We’ve been told that 😊
Wat maak kiewiete daar
Regtig
