- Our adventure through the Okavango Delta continues in this episode; where we make our way on our Overlanding Adventure to spend 4 days of magical camping in the majestic Khwai Community concession at the Magotho Campsite. Magotho is known to be one of those places where the wildlife comes to you! We were looking forward to setting up our camp, and watching the elephants, waterbuck and maybe even some wild dogs playing in the Khwai River. With the sounds of fish eagles, while we cook, Hippo's and Lions while we sleep; we were sure to have an absolutely wild adventure! Awoken in the early hours of the morning to help recover some fellow campers, who had drowned their rental vehicle in the a nearby river! Like I always say, Adventure happens when you do stuff! Join us for our next adventure when we head to Savuti in the Chobe National Park.

Your voice over is second to none❤
Helping those stranded Dutch couple at that time of the night was really a great gesture and "ubuntu", well done guys.
This is how we do it! 👏🏻🤟🏻
As a Motswana, I’m very proud of the work you guys are doing, absolutely epic❤
That means a lot! Thank you so much 👏🏻
As a Motswana from SA it’s time i visit Botswana 🇧🇼, such a lovely country.
I can't wait to see the Isuzu in action
Coming soon!
Just wanted to say thank you for the new longer format content we've been getting lately. Not sure if it requires more or less editing but I for one appreciate it very much.
Haha awesome Jacques! Glad you’re enjoying it! It is ALOT more editing work 🤣 but it’s worth it!
Thank goodness those are friendly Elephants! I've heard of so many of them bearing a grudge against people, and those grumpy one's could have destroyed the camp site and flattened all the bakkies.
I would've been shit scared.
It can never be over with overlanding
Showering with elephants is great :)
Haha It was an experience for sure 😂
I am enjoying your videos, and learning a lot, never thought about first aid training before. I need this type of training especially when I am home away from Cape Town in Drakensberg, Underberg
That elephant was just awesome! An interaction like that is actually better than any game drive where you go out looking for the animals. great episode!
It was so special!
@@RoamOverlanding I bet!
A treat to the senses, this video.
Wow thank you for the episode it's awesome
Wow, from the SUZUKI Jimny to this,
Hahaha! I hope you enjoy!
Your videos are brilliant. Thanks for sharing the experience 👍
great work keep it up thank you for all the information that you shared
Another great episode! Just stunning! Absolutely stunning😉
Nice one. 👍
What an episode wow wow wow epic
WOW!! What a beautiful video,, Keep moving forward🖤
8:55 the music, instant fading voice and that bird rattling just took me way back when I was just a little boy roaming around the forest without a single care in the world back then. I hardly knew this suburban areas, per se the closest place i knew was our neighbouring house in our rural place. Gone are the sweet old days when we used to live wild and free. Thanks a lot for uploading this types episodes... man you reconnected me back to nature in a way I can't explain for you to get me. I’m so proud of the work you guys are doing indeed keep up!
Very special to read a comment like this ❤️
Great episode. From Australia and enjoying.
So great to hear!
What an eventful episode. Thanks for the great content Mr Roam and team. Well done for helping other overlanders
Thanks for tuning in episode after episode! Happy new year!
Great episode as always! Thanks for sharing and look forward to the next episode 🤟😃 Safe travels guys 🍻
Great adventure!
I'm always inspiring from you guys. Love from mountain country Nepal.❤🇳🇵
Much love from kenya... Truly appreciate the amount of work that goes into making each video, kuddos to the whole team 👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you for another amazing video.
🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you for your support!

Amazing episode 👏 ❤️
Nice 👍
Another excellent episode. Really enjoying this trip with you guys! Look forward to watching the Savuti episode!
Thanks Marky! 🤭
What a magnificent video.....again!
Awesome for assisting the fellow travelers....thats what its all about....great wildlife footage...true reflection of what Bostwana is all about.
Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for watching Martin! I’m glad you enjoyed it! It was certainly a consideration being woken up in the middle of the night, we have our South African paranoia that it’s a trap or someone is trying to pull one over on us, but we pushed through that and we’re able to actually help on the end. I think luckily we did.
Top notch video and editing. Well done and thank for sharing beautiful Botswana and the Okavango with us! It’s a magic place and takes me back to my youth and travel as a student to the Okavango.
❤❤…Definitely a place I need to see
amazing
What a great adventure.
Fantastic account of your trip, soundtrack was perfect.
Really great video, can't wait till the next one 👍
This is just an awesome adventure.
l would love to do something similar
Wow what a inconuter with the elephant that is amazing africa wildlife experianc ❤️ love to have this again one day!
Your videos are always amazing! thank you for this.
Finished the episode now. Wow, fantastic is all I can say!
Thank you for showing lot's of wildlife, most of the overlanding channels barely show the animals anymore so this was great.
Thanks for watching Paul! Glad you enjoyed it! The animal sightings were so beautiful there, it made it easy to share! 👏🏻👏🏻
Well put together content 👏 Enjoying this series
Awesome series and video as always. Really enjoyed it. Really frothing for a good Bots trip again 😎🇧🇼
Wonderful wonderful
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful 👍
Thanks for the great video.
I shouldn't look at your video's, I get overwhelmed by the urge of being in those magnificent places, brought so beautifully by you, NOW 😟😃👌. Still some months to go and I will be there again, in the mean time enjoying more of your videos.
Thanks for the effort it must take to film and edit. Wishing you more adventures.
Oh and also thanks for saving my fellow Dutchies in their (and my) nightmare situation.
Hahah! I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry! 😋 I’m glad to be able to share the stories with you and I’m very glad I could help your fellow Dutchies!! 👏🏻 goodluck in the future on your adventure!
great journey
Please keep making these.
Amazing stuff we are experiencing through you guys. I get so involved when watching my body jumps at some of the scary encounters you have captured. The day you shoot in 3D there will be a lot of messy living rooms I tell you. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful story guys ❤️
Excellent episode! Absolutely epic 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Magic place
Love what you do!! We have a lodge in the Mababe Depression Called Nokanyana. Please let us know when anyone needs help on their trip. We will be there for sure! Thanks Again for the Video! Loved watching! ...Roots & Journeys

Good stuff guys ! Would love to do a trip,like this.
Absolutely loved this one mate !! Look forward to going there soon ! Keep up the content learning alot from you bro
So glad you enjoyed it 🤓
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for visiting
That was a wonderful experience. The encounter with such a large animal was even scary for me while watching, I wonder how it felt with you literally there. Thanks for such an absolute video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Namibia is beautiful
This is Botswana my brother, but Namibia is also beautiful!
Love your content adrian
This is really awesome, i love it, the video is both entertaining and educational at the same time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Upgrading to a bigger battery should be a better option for you. When I upgraded from a 100ah AGM to a 200ah I had much less charge level anxiety and found out I could run without solar for 4-5 days. I am actually thinking about changing to lithium and trying to use induction cooking rather than gas. Great video as always.
So spoiler alert, I made the plunge and went to 400AH of lithium and a 3000w inverter for induction after coming back from this trip 😋 I have it in the truck but not hooked up yet, so will be playing with all of that soon
@@RoamOverlanding Awesome! Can't wait to see it.
Great episode. I'm sure we just missed you in Savuti. We were there 10-15 and 21-25 Oct IIRC.
Yup very close
The production quality is amazing!!! Didn’t feel like I was watching a TH-cam video. Definitely subscribed 👍🏽
Thanks for the sub! See you around! 👏🏻😋
Botswana landscape am sure tests your vehicle to the max. Happy new year 🙂
Fantastic overlanding trip, and where are those magnum ice creams are also one of my favorites just love those things....
Haha! The Magnum moments are too good! It’s coming eventually 😂
❤
Great video, what size tyres and what suspension setup is the white Hilux running ?
Both hiluxes run the same tire size, 265/70/17, the white Hilux uses OME
You just got a new subscriber. I love the content
Thank you! Welcome!
Awesome content and the beautiful scenery with animals 😊
Happy new year 🎉 Greetings from south africa , limpopo province
Thank you Yusuf! Happy new year to you too! 👏🏻
Absolutely well done video!! Loved seeing this part of the Okavango Delta, the wildlife, the landscapes, and your machines! How incredible! Also hope Andy is feeling better and bro, what’s up with his truck?? We need updates!! Lol sending good vibes from the States! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!! 👏🏻👏🏻 his truck is well! We did a trip with it recently over the holidays and the video will come out after this series is completed 🤟🏻
@@RoamOverlanding that’s awesome! I’m looking forward to seeing his ute! Cheers!
👍
You guys are so brave.. you gotta be the bravest to camp in the African wild.. have yoy ever encounter the lion? Or coming in your camp.? The hippo and elephants.. am from Namibia and i want to go on a solo wild adventure in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
16:25 you guys were in the Garden of Eden or Garden of God, also called the Terrestrial Paradise where nature meets you at your doorstep.
Great channel and enjoyed the Bots trip. On my bucket list and some great tips. One question, what is the make and name of the small roof tray in front of your rtt? I need a similar setup. Cheers and safe overlanding!
Thanks Riaan! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. The one with the fire wood is the EeziAwn k9 roofrack, and then the one that the solar panels is mounted to on the tent is also from EeziAwn 🤙🏻
What rims are on the white Hilux? They look epic
The only place and the only reason for Top Heavy Tents
Pretty much! 🤣
🎉 first viewer and comment,who is still here in 2023?
Hahah welcome to a whole new year! 👏🏻
🤙👍
Awesome Adrian. I am signing up for the first aid course. Will ping u on which is best. Hope to see you again soon.
You won’t look back! The course is incredible! 🤟🏻 I’m going for a refresher again in a couple months too
Signing my son up for the Pre Med course in preparation for Med school. Thanks for that! Love the quality of your video and music tracks. What camera do you use? 4k? Rgds Craig
@@cas230267 that’s awesome Craig! He is going to have a ball! We use Sony A7IV 👌🏻
Nice videos...really enjoy it.
Want to ask you a question...what brand rims you have on the Hilux and what is the off-set of the rims?....looks very nice!!
Let me check, it’s a 0 offset, Predator 35 by Procomp I think 👌🏻
Great content and keep up the super videos. Out of interest how much solar where you running?
I had a 180W fixed panel and a 160W solar blanket 👌🏻
Does the technology, need to charge batteries, constant monitoring takeaway from your time in the bush? There has to be a line somewhere. Having done the same trip in the 90s I enjoyed watching your videos. Great memories.
I’m just such a nerd that I enjoy all the tech just as much as the bush! 😋 it must be amazing to see how it’s all changed since the 90’s!
@@RoamOverlanding it’s changed but not so much. Thankfully over the years I’ve been able to get back. I’m a pastor and we visit the Okavango panhandle often. When I visited in the 90s the Black Pools area (wasn’t called that) was a shortcut to Third Bridge. Always cool to wonder if wildlife you see are descendants of wildlife I’ve seen. Big world and yet so very small. I can remember having tea in the same spot in Moremi or pulling up under Baobabs in Savuti. We’ve even stocked up with the Beef Boys as well. Enjoyed riding along with your team via video. Good stuff.
Thanks for the content. What arial are you running on the front bumper and where did you get it from?
Thanks! It’s an M-Tech Communications Antenna 👌🏻
Hi Adrian, thanks for all the great content! Do you recall the campsite number you were originally setup in and what number campsite you moved to? Cheers!
Thanks buddy! I think from from 12 to 10 🤣but I can’t remember!
I think Roelf just had a bit too much to drink the previous evening.
