Wildlife Rescue at 25.03 - Noah’s Ark eat your heart out. Well done, guys
Keep on Producing your Wonderful Adventure, Vehicle Camping & Overlanding in the Wild African Continent showing its Long Lasting Frontier of Nature and Wildlife. 👍⛺🚙🌳🐘🦛🌵🌍
🤩 just wow! Wow WOW *WOW*
It's my dream to travel all over Africa, to be close to the nature.
As your video progresses, every thirty seconds or so, I want to give a like 👍…. the scenery, the music, the editing, everything is beyond words. You guys are amazing, Africa is breathtaking and as a compatriot living abroad I can’t express how much I miss those sounds, the wild of Africa, the smells, the sound of thunder …. etc…Endless… You are living a true dream. Thank you guys ! And thanks for the great humor at times. By the way a huge 👍 for saving that bird stuck in the pipe … absolutely fantastic 😊
Pleasure Fernando, and really good to hear that you are enjoying the content. Keep an eye out, lots more in the production pipelines so to speak. See you then
Awesome episode mate! Time for Overlanding Escape to head out on the next adventure!
Thank you legend. First comments are always great. So good to adventure with you and Chris. Here's to the next one bud 🍻
You guys have to come to Eastern Africa. The wildlife here is absolutely beautiful. I'm sure you'll be flabbergasted by the wildlife density here. Cheers!

Greetings from Poland and fingers crossed for 50 000 subscribers.
Love from India ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Ryan, about the question you asked about Khwai, I live in Maun, and the thing is, attacks are rare, mostly the dangerous game and the people respect each others boundaries, but hyenas, hippos and elephants do make regular visits especially at night when there is no movement. There are those who are bold and can move about even at night, and to cap it off, the tribe that lives in Khwai is predominantly Basarwa or an offshoot of the San people called BaNoka or San people who live along the river instead of the desert is its always normally assumed, so just from their ancestry, they know how to live along wild animals.
Dimpho, thank you for hearing my question mate. And thank you for the insights. It helps my understanding. On the last day at khwai, I spoke to the SKL staff and they mentioned something very similar to what you saying. Just at the time I didn't have my camera. Thanks again bud
Dimpie
Hey Ryan ! Awesome Video ! Nice one ! Would love to do the trip one day, Count me in !! Keep going !
Such a majestic trip
what a game trip you are having.... Hope to be a part of it one day
That Shot of the Elephant 🐘 up Close , wow , Amazing Beautiful.
great vid. But drinking cold water is actually bad for you if you are working in the heat or exerting yourself. The ice cold water shocks the system and takes longer to assimilate. The body needs to put in more energy to get that back to temp. Rather room temp water to keep hydrated.
Cheers mate! I don’t have the cool accent, or the fancy 4K videos or elephants but I started doing some showcasing of the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains if you’re interested in taking a gander. I still love your content! It’s solid!
Botswana is just amazing. Everlasting memories I have of that place beautiful place
Absolutely bud.
Thank you for taking us with in your journey, it was surreal to watch!
I LOVE UR CHANNEL BOSS. IT REALLY INSPIRES ME
Stunning vid Ryan, Moremi is a special place and those hyenas are very sneak. Nothing like getting stuck in some thick sand😁 Did it with a 1.6ton Xplorer in tow, what fun😁
Ryan this is your best film yet - epic! Your filming quality is next level.
Awesome 👌 thanks legend 🙌
Come from India
Okay. Visit their website. I believe prices are there. Not going to put it on an open forum.
Drove passed you and Edward coming back from a new adventure. Can't wait for the uploads. Felt like seeing famous stars. 👌
🤣🤣 awesome mate. Thanks for the support bud. Yes, we were in a 19 day adventure, so content will be created, for sure. Cheers
This video has made me realize that my favorite word is BOTETI 😀
I wonder who the two haters are who have already disliked this awesome video. I mean, did they even watch?
🤣🤣🤣 they keyboard warriors mate. Haters give me power. They haven't even watched it because mine is only 23minutes in for quality check. Gotta love em, and thanks to them 🤙
cheers man
your choice of background music is really good
amazing place, amazing video. Waching from desert United Arab Emirates
Thank you for your support mate. Glad you enjoyed this one 🙌

Thank you Shaun. Much appreciated bud 🤙
Two Toyotas, one Ford Ranger. The Ford gets stuck and is towed away by one of the Toyotas. One bloody common story... LOL. Great adventure guys!
Toyotas were on track Ranger was off track and in soft soil, and towing. Yes, great adventure is all that matters, the rest doesn't matter mate.
Planning .....Victoria falls to Jburg,
Just got back from that area. South Gate, Third Bridge, Fourth Gate Kwai, Savutti, Linyanti, Muchenje and then Kasani exploring the Chobe. Best game I've seen in my life - thanks for capturing the great shots guys.
It’s always awesome experiencing these adventures through you. It almost feels as if I am there with you guys.
Love that you guys show some of the challenges you face! Keep them coming!!
my kinda lifestyle,,,,, and the only thing i'm obsessed with.. 🏕🗾 nature
Absolutely amazing thanks legend
Awesome stuff.💥💥
Thank you Wes 🙌
I'm loving this channel with every new episode. Being with the guys has really boosted your cinematography work, some of the best Overlanding footage. Keep up the awesome work
Congrats on this massive milestone Ryan!!
Keep pushing this amazing content, you gents are getting me closing to hitting the bush and experiencing these adventures first hand.
Great work!!
Great video as always
I would like to say ,magic✊. Absolutely magical the visuals here I could see✊.Videography was fabulous👏👏. Eagerly waiting for upcoming episodes.Thanks Ryan.🙏🤝
Thank you Bobby. Much appreciated. Your support and kind words are epic. Keep well bud
It’s so calming to see those beasts roaming around in their abode, graceful and humble - respect the wild outdoors - loved this video ❤️
Ryan. We are planning to do similar trip June next year. We will be coming from Chobe to Linyanti, Savuti and then Khwai. We will be four vehicles and two cruisers will be towing off-road caravans. Seeing you getting stuck we are a bit concerned towing the caravans. In your opinion will it be possible with the thick sand towards Savuti? The plan is to let the single vehicles ride in front of the towing vehicles just in case they get stuck. Your advise please.
Hi Paul, so lekker to meet you. Don't be too concerned as mentioned. Enjoy your adventure, and stay safe mate. All the best 👍
@@4x4ventures_southafrica Hi Ryan thanks for the advise and I already told my mate about what you said. He is the one with the Summit Kilimanjaro caravan and is concerned he get stuck or damage the caravan. It was great to meet you guys. Hope you get the cats and that it not too hot. I told Ed this morning I can't wait for your next episodes. Your quality of your footage is great. Kobus is still at Marula tonight fighting the monkeys but I am with Stephan and Walda in Phalaborwa for the week before returning to Pta. Hope we meet again. Maybe at Matamba or somewhere "Op 2 Spore" . Paul.
Great episode!!! Your story telling is spot on fella:D
Wow guys, you seem like a great team adventuring nature. I just saw this video and i must say i have seen it in my seggestions and i regret not having clicked on the videos earlier! I really enjoyed watching your videos.. looking forward to seeing more from you guys. Stay safe and i cant wait for the next one!
theres always smt extra adventurous and interesting in your videos ''JUST MAGIC''
Great footage as per usual - great adventure - thanks for sharing. Waiting for that 50k trip.
Your videos are amazing!!! Inspiring in so many ways!!! Looking forward to the next episode.
Great Content As Always Mate! Keep It Coming. 👌🏾🔥
Thank You Again another awesome video. Please Be safe & Take Care See, u Next Video
Much appreciated and only a pleasure. 👍
It is really great experience to have time in the forest and see lovely wild animals.
Thank you to let us to see and learn from your adventure experience in Africa!!!
almost thought you were not going to drop! lol😂
🤣🤣🤣 not this time my friend. Working ahead now, I think.
@@4x4ventures_southafrica loved it, thank you for delivering such amazing content.🔥
Nice to hear it mate, and thank you for the kind words. Appreciated 🙌
Great video.
Once again, I am completely enthralled by this. As someone in the screen production game your filming and editing is outstanding. Commentary is just right at the right moments and I like the way you let the pictures do the talking. Getting stuck shows the importance of traveling in a group when way out in the boondocks. You, Ed and Christoff take us along on your journey and I can't wait for Ed and Chris' version of this adventure. In April this year I was in Kruger and I hope to get back to S.A. in the next few weeks.
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, we put allot of effort in creating these episodes, so to hear it makes it worth it. Travelling with good mates always makes the harder times allot easier, also when the hard times happen it is safer. Keep enjoying and SA is waiting for you
@@4x4ventures_southafrica When I get back to JoBurg (should be in weeks) it would be great to meet you guys, maybe over dinner (on me) we could discuss how I may be able to help.
Sounds good Michael. Reach out when you settle. Chat then
Magic Ryan 🤙..Your Videos are like National-Geographic/NAT-geo-Travel ..🙏..The Sound of the Animals is amazing 🤙🤙🤙
Wow Markus. Very kind words mate. Glad you are enjoying them.
Love the videos. I'm planning a longer overland trip (~1 year) maybe in 2023/24. The original plan was to head to Africa, but I wasn't sure if it could keep me interested for that amount of time, and was considering doing the Pan American Highway or something instead. But I have to say, after watching your Botswana videos, I'm definitely thinking Africa again!
Fantastic place, congrats on the 10000 subscriber mark and many many more subscribers to come.
Thank you, much appreciated 👍
Brilliant video, can’t believe such high quality productions are free on TH-cam. Keep up the great work and can’t wait for the next episode
Thank you mate for the kind words. Yeh, if you feeling like supporting me, head on over to patreon.com/4x4ventures Sign up up help me create these videos. It helps mate
The sunset backlit footage is incredible with all the dust! Hyenas around there are not scared of people anymore especially at Third Bridge and people with kids should be extract cautious. Some epic game drives and beautiful footage! Superb.
Thank you Blaise. Good to hear it. Hope you can get to Bots sooner than later mate
Another great video. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes
Thank you.
Hi Ryan. Always nice to watch your shows. We follow all three of you. Congrats with your 10k subscribers. Looking forward to your nest show. God bless.
Thank you Karl and glad to hear that you enjoy the 3 TH-cam channels. Much appreciated mate 🙌

Thank you Stephen 🙌
Another awesome episode 👏 much appreciated.
Awesome Tommy. 👌
Thank you guys for your wonderful videos. We have been on safari in southern Africa a number of times. Miss it all during covid. You gentlemen remind us all how magic the bush can be.
Thank you Doug 🙌
Thank you for taking us on an adventure with you. i appreciate these videos. Botswana is amazing
Our pleasure. Glad you enjoy the experiences we get to share. Botswana is awesome 👌
What a great episode 👏👍
Thank you Deresh 👍
Great work guys. I really enjoyed your videos. 💯
Awesome 👌
Absolutely epic Ryan. I need another trip soon! Thank you for sharing and congratulations on 10000 subscribers. Well deserved!
Thank you Bruce. I always need another adventure. The spirit of overlanding is forever mate
Love this episodes. Keep showing us the adventures life. Love it 💕 . I wonder if I could be able to do all this with my wheelchair
Hi Kenneth, where there is a will there is a way mate. Keep striving for your endeavours. My advice would be to travel with someone locally first to see if the fit suits you. It will be tough but so are all dreams if you chase them hard enough. Thank you for your comment and your support legend 🙌
Ryan mate, what an absolutely amazing episode. Your content is on another level. Big thumbs up 👍🏻 now I need to plan a trip out there 😃
Thank you Tiago. Much appreciated for the kind words bud 🙌
Man! Ryan, this production is next level. Loved it!! Your cinematography and storytelling is phenomenal. Some of the best footage I've watched for sure. On a side note... While in Botswana in May we spent a few nights at Xaxanaka camp in the Moremi. Our trip coincided with "the leopard incident" wherein the life of a leopard and a human were lost. Consequently, we now have a new found respect for the wild, and leopards inparticular, so to hear that a leopard came through your camp, is thrilling, but also very unsettling. We spent the remainder of our trip on very high alert as it seems you guys did too. Epic stuff!
Thanks Neal. Yes, so that incident happened a week when we got back. It happens and is very very unfortunate. We are always on high alert mate, always. Complacency creeps in very very quickly when around a fire. People always reckon we have too many lights, but they are only there when needed and tbh, lights are a necessity in wild camps, as well as a good torch. Hyenas and leopards are very very opportunistic predators. Leopards . . . they have always worried me in wild camps, they are super efficient at hunting. Brilliant to be in such places, but, people need to kick complacency out the window when camping at these amazing spots. Thanks again bud
As you say, brilliant to be in such places, for sure. Such a rare experience.
Woow! This is proper, proper adventure man. Khwai is up there with the very best wilderness areas in the world. Your video editing makes it even more splendid. Super work u doing there bud..
Thanks Dru P. Much appreciated 🙌
Howzit man. I just watched both of the episodes in this series so far, and I'm loving it. I've always loved the bush, and your videos have been so refreshing and interesting. I'm super keen to get out on the roads and in the bush myself.
Keep it up man, can't wait for the next one.
And congrats on 10k!
Thank you Karl. Much appreciated mate, and for your support 👍
Next level Ryan 👍 Thought the sideline narrative and the recovery were really interesting and useful. Sometimes the journey is as much of the adventure as the destination itself .
Well done 👍 👏
Thank you Alan. I appreciate your support and kind words mate 🙌
Great video, Ryan. Now waiting for Ed's video to upload. Last week it was Ed's first then yours. Love it!!
Thanks Mike, Yes a bit of relay team work happening. It helps with the TH-cam algorithms, or so we experimenting. Means it's good for the fans of the shows.
Awesome adventure with you gents (fortunately I haven't had so shove gauze yet :D). Lekker episode mate, looking to the next one! Congrats on 10k
Thanks Chris, and let's hope no guaze never has to come out 🤣 yes, lekker to adventure with you guys, and this one is right up there as my favourites.
I bet it does help to have good mates around when you need recovery... Love how well you show your trip... keep up the good work mate...
Thank you Leon. Yes, travelling with mates always makes it easier to let go a bit. Thanks for you support mate
Congrats on the 10K subs.
Thank you Jaques 🤟
@@4x4ventures_southafrica wouldn't mind at all to get a trip in with you guys. Will be awesome
Yes Jaques, we working on a couple of things for next year March. Maybe a tag along is in order, so clear your schedules. It will be something great we hope.
sorry man but you advise us to drink cold water or a cold coke , I myself work on sites in the field and often under 45°C and stay hydrated and actually a very goo advice but especially avoid drinking cold water or too cold it can give you stomach aches and cause you diarrhea. kind of like adding cold water to the car's hot radiator😉 but super reportage thank you and continue to enjoy
Glad this is what you take away from the episode. Staying hydrated being the point. Appreciate your feedback
Awesome video once again! Zimbo/ Saffa living in Switzerland, I would love to join you guys on a trip, I was supposed to be in Hwange atm but Corona screwed my plans....😤🙈
Sorry to hear mate. Yes the Covid is a problem for us all. More for some than others. Episode 3 and four are done and being released this Friday and the following Friday. Hopefully a more consistent role out going forward. Look forward to hosting you when you get here. Keep it easy and thank you for your support 🙌
Hi Ryan, what a stunning video and so informative. you guy are entertaining us with your awesome episodes.
I have the same trailer as yours hooked on a 4x4 2.4 Toyota Hilux, with you experienced travelers getting stuck in a sand do you think will i make it without a winch Ryan? what type of recovery should one have and any general advise driving on a sand.
Hi Thabo, yes, a great trailer. I had to sell mine unfortunately 😕 look, with a 4x2 I would highly recommend a winch. 12500lbs winch. Look at Runva winch, ironman or if you have the bucks, a warn winch. Recovery gear is essential. I only use the WildDog 4x4 10ton recovery gear. Goodluck, and look at getting a 4x4 in the future, you will be confident. Cheers mate🤙
Camera and Microphone at 4.55 …… ?
Doing this Section in Sept 2022, so watching your videos with extra zeal. Which month was this ?
Confused - you said - “remember these places with special fondness …. “ and then admit “ … never been here before but Ed told you lots …”.
wow what a great trip. awesome to watch
Yes, it had all the makings of a proper adventure. Thank you Ray
Some world class videos here man! Watching this you forget that it's one guy doing all the video and editing! Feels like a whole crew doing it. My only experience of Botswana is going to Angola and using the Trans-Kalahari highway to get there. Didn't go off that road. Something I need to get to. Will take you up on the 50k offer :) Based in Pretoria.
Thank you Davin, and yes, you absolutely right. I appreciate the acknowledgement, and salute you for it. Let's get to 50k and make it happen. Glad you are enjoying the show and thanks again for your support 🙌
You guys should make a shirt with “Magic” written on it
🤣🤣🤣 now that sounds . . . MAGIC! Not a bad idea Lani, at all
I absolutely love watching this channel and the trips you guy's do and the footage is unreal. May I ask what torches do you guy's use around camps at night? Any recommendations?
Hey James, thanks mate. Yes, I use the ACEBEAM units. The X70 is a beast of a torch. Purchase from JEXREE.CO.ZA I think I still have a discount code - 4x4ventures? Goodluck and thanks again mate 🤙
