Overlanding Botswana |EP 5| - Khwai Magotho - epic 4x4 river crossings
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- In this episode we make our way to the khwai region. The Moremi Game Reserve blew us away but we still have a good days drive to exit the reserve!
We wake up at Third Bridge and make our way to Magotho campsite.
This drive is an adventure on a whole other level - we face many water crossings, some so deep we almost submerge the vehicles to the max.
We also navigate a section where our 79 series land cruiser started sinking in a waterhole - water entered the vehicle and caused everyones stress levels to raise through the roof!!
What an epic trip this is.. amazing wildlife plus the opportunity to put our offroad rigs through their paces and really engage 4x4!
The Suzuki Jimny, Amarok and Fortuner prove that they are just as worthy as a Cruiser to be called Conquerors of Africa!!
Overlanding through Botswana just remains one of the most spectacular things you can do on planet earth!!
Had to do watch again and heard the tough dog dude (Darrel) say “..are you ok my love…” and she snaps back “…don’t call me my love…” 😂. PS times like this I love that the Troopy comes with vinyl.
that Jimny is amazing....
Great video thanks for posting. I did a two week self drive camping safari in Namibia in October. I'm hoping to visit Botswana in 2024. Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪
I cannot recommend Botswana enough!! 😊😊
Hahaha, rope me in your adventure and will be very epic🤭😂
Thanks for sharing. "AWESOME"- Great shots. Watched it 3 times over and will watch again. 💘💞
Ahhh day maker!! Really appreciate it!! This was a really adventurous section of the journey!! 😊
So good to see this - as we've mentioned to many SA folks, it's fascinating for us Aussies to see how similar the scenery is, yet obviously your wildlife is something else! We're so grateful to you all for taking the trouble to capture your adventures for us! All the best from the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Australia 👍✌️🙌🙏
Thanks Paul!! I know - there is so much that is the same but each country has something that makes it stand out!! You guys have got beaches we can only dream about exploring and camping at!!
Thanks for the positive feedback, really means so much and we really appreciate it!! Hoping one day we get to come explore Australia for a few months!!
Noooo, nowhere similar to Aussie. There is wild animals all over and the predators they wanna see unfortunately they can see them and they can not because of engine noises. But otherwise the roads maybe similar to Aussie only along the coastal areas.
Bud good save on the car and i hope all good. Amazing adventure and thanks for the sharing 😊
Thanks bud!! What an adrenaline rush!! Awesome having you here bud!!
Wow epic , what a beautiful time you guys had .
We were blessed with an incredible adventure
Watching from Maun.... Awesome adventure Mr Gunnland 👌👌👌❤
YOU LEGEND!!! So awesome having you here with us!! 😊
That rumbling of a V8 🔥🔥
That sound never gets old 😉
Excellent ! well done ! Good information about ablutions and showers - keep it coming ! Safe travels !
Hey legends!! Thanks so much!! Appreciate the positive support so much! This series is almost coming to an end and then we’re off to start a new one 😊
Ooooh Kenny, you and that crew are so damn cool…I love how you scout with that V8 beast…and the little Suzuki is a smart tough little nut to crack. Still to get stuck…😅😅😅. Don’t beat yourself about that stunt you pulled of drowning. It’s what makes the adventure worthwhile. I love my country so much and have been there several times but never take the water crossings 😂😂🙏🏾. You make the beautiful adventures guys🫡✌🏽💪🏽
28:00. “Don’t call me my love”😂
This was an epic episode.
Thanks so much!! Really happy that you guys got to enjoy this Botswana trip with us!!
You gave me inspiration
Looks like you guys have been lucky to tour with an epic bunch of guys👌
This really has been an epic series. I have truly loved it and looking forward to one day being able to go myself.
These trips are so amazing when the group clicks!! We were so lucky - everyone got along so well!!
I say start your engines and go 😉
Thanks so much for the support and watching our channel!!
Just EPIC
Thanks bud!! The Moremi really exceeded every expectation! Can’t wait to be back there!

Botswana is just superb!! Thanks, we had an incredible trip
Awsome...thank you for shareing with us.

Eiash, bow that was an epic water crossing or two 😂
Definitely had the adrenaline pumping in the vehicles 😊
Awesome
This is an absolutely great adventure you are taking us on. Thank you so much for sharing! (I would have loved to see how the Jimny handled that knarly place where you got stuck)
So stoked that you are enjoying it!! The Jimny did the smart thing and back tracked a little bit 😊
Damn!! You are brave, I wouldn't have gone in the second time.. 😂😂 Great adventure though, thanks for tagging us along 👌
Need to be conqueror’s haha Thanks for watching!!!
Love the videos.
Thanks guys
Thanks for going on these journeys with us 😎😎
Man, your camera shots are crazy.....👌
Baie goed gewees dankie , Die Amarok lyk my ,was die BAAS daar
What a great series. Also, the silent hero for me is that Jimny, that just goes and goes and goes. Love that tiny little shoebox :) Also your videography and the fact that the videos show so much of the driving... you really make amazing content! Thank you so much!
Just back and saw some big crocs between where you crossed and Magotho camp area.
Those water-crossings make the Moremi a place where not many Jimnys will ever venture. Though there have been one or two over the years.
EDIT I am surprised to spot a Jimny drying out right at the end of the video and in my experience dry out is what a Jimny will have to do if goes through water deeper than the top of the wheel-wells unless one is going to first seal a number of spots on the chassis and cabin,.
absolutely love the series, keep them coming ❤❤
Very nice and exciting travels! Subscribing for more! :D
Suweeeeeeet❤❤❤Big fan..Took a pic last month with Touch Dog at the car show in Gaborone💪🏾..Sweet rides and set up🔥🔥🔥
Yo what a great episode! So glad you were out quick, thanks for capturing so much I know how stressful that can be. The shot 19mins 51sec in needs to go on a t-shirt bro. The best!

@@LaniSimelane hahahaha 😂
Nice guys
And Kenny be careful how you jump into the pools like that, crocs maybe lagging around
Ek like die cruiser die meeste. #TOYOTA
really like ur videos. May I ask what camera/lens do u use, and if u use any gimbal for stablization? Might be cool to make a video of your camera set u use for safaris one day?
Yoh, glad that wasn’t me. I felt for you and glad you got out of the bog so quickly. But I have to know: did you walk it before you did it the second time - albeit a different line? Another great video. Thank you.
It was an adrenaline rush of note haha luckily it wasn’t so bad! Yes, Kenny and I went and checked the second line out 😊😊
Yah they both did walk it before attempting for the second time 16:49
@@oaitsemoremi5657 sorry, yes I saw that - just didn’t click that that was the line they were going to take - my bad.
Im following you bro keep it up and proud wt u did.
Im from Saudi Arabia and you are most welcome if u are planning to visit us.
Hello, Mompati here. Me and a group of guys, maybe 3 or 4 cars would like to plan a trip with you in 2024. Would this be ok with you?
I like the family vibe, so all in the group will be with family.
Just asking is there a risk of crocs in those pools when walking through them?
Dankie
Net ‘n plesier, hoop julle het dit geniet!!
Ons bly in Botswana kamp baie
Maar geniet dit net soveel om te kyk hoe ander dit
Weereens dankie
would it have been possible to avoid the water crossings ? Or where they on the main access roads ?
I think you might have missed it? Actually have no idea, have not driven the main access road before
7:28 Afrikaans. I tried to learn some in Namibia. Did you use Tracks4Africa?
Way too much dramatizing but enjoy
