- The morning we had to pack up was extremely cold, so we started the day with a warm cup of coffee.
As we continued towards Mabua, taking in the never changing scenery and enjoying the freedom on the twospoor road, we can’t help but reflect back on a spectacular few days we had on the South African side of the Kgalagadi with some fantastic sightings.
A Recap of those sightings includes a fair share of leopard sightings some which made a lasting impression
Some remarkable raptors in the Auob Riverbed. If you go to the Kgalagadi for Raptors, you have to make sure to spend a lot of time in the Auob
Not a lot of lion sightings but it is still noteworthy
Fantastic next-level honey badger sightings
And one of our all-time top-of-the-list sightings was the hunting caracal.
We Stay over at Motopi Campsite 2 and then head over to Khiding Campsite 2 where we camp for four nights.

Thanks for taking us through your amazing adventures the scenery was out this world lol I laughed so hard at the sign from the loo true though go to the Bush....
Haha. Yeah we had a good laugh at the sign as well. Thanks for watching
thanks for sharing your experience it provided valuable insights for our own trip
Thanks for watching.
If there is one place that fits the definition of peaceful, it is Kgalagadi. Nice video all round.
True that. The tranquility of the Kgalagadi is just something that cannot be explained but needs to be experienced
Awesome episode looking forward to watching more of your adventures
Hi Brent. Thank you for watching
Beautiful Episode. What an Overlanding Rig you have there. mAssive.🤟
Thanks a lot. Thanks for watching
One of the most beautiful Cruisers I have seen..nice colour.
Thanks. It is not a very common color. Thanks for watching
V6! Hope petrol saam ry vir daardie masjien. Myne vervang juis oor dit.
Wow lekker mooi mooi I like to go to the camp
Thanks for watching. It is always awesome to camp there
Amazing photography very unique and special video thank you ❤️❤️
Thank you for the kind words and for watching
You are clearly very conscientious when it comes to your overlanding (cleaning up after others, not using campsites that you did not book etc.) Very happy to call you a fellow South-African. A class act. In all probability you are also fellow followers of the Lord Jesus Christ Who is God and His Holy Ghost 🙌🏿 ✝️ 🧎🏾. All the best to you and your loved ones - may the Lord be with you...
Thanks for the comment and for watching.
It sometimes gets difficult, but one has to be open minded, especially when traveling to an area visited by so many people. It should never spoil the trip.. that is our rule. Rather fix it and keep things in tact for the next visitors
amazing stuff guys. keep up the good work
Thanks for watching and for the kind words
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Stand out for me was the leopards, caracal, honey badger and the birds of prey.
Thanks for watching. We had an amazing time in that area
Awesome episode. Thank you for sharing. So great to see how the track looks from Nossob to Mabua. Last time I I did the route was in July 2010 and it’s amazing how the track is opened up. Good to see that toilets have been built at Motopi as it was a minefield of toilet paper the last time we camped there.
Thanks for sharing another great adventure. Looking forward to the next one
Thanks for watching Bruce. The route has changed quite a lot. Even in the last couple of years.
The irony about the toilets that have been built is that right behind it there is still a minefield of toilet paper lying around. It still is an amazing place though, and we will continue to return there
@@OurLifeInAfrica I think I need to go again. You have given me itchy feet now 😂
ek mis dit so baie
Dit is n plek waarna ons enige tyd sal terug gaan
Baie goeie video. Terloops wat was jou banddruk in daai dik sand. Dink jy moes hom meer laat sak het. Jy kan self so laag as 1,2 bar gaan
Hi. Het hom laat sak volgens my TPMS in tires. Dit was foutief-raak daaraan in my volgende video. Ek ry gewoonlik so 2bar agter met companion gehak, en so 1.4 voor. Het uit dik sand gekom n paar keer selfs laer as 1.2. Ek hou maar in gedagte dat die 3ply wiele nie van lae druk hou nie
Ja ek wil saam stem...jy kon dalk bietjie laer laat sak het as 2 bar agter...maar dis ook belangrik dat jou sleeptuig se band druk ook moet laat sak word...anders sleep jy later n ploeg agterna. Ek stem saam dat 3 ply bande nie hou van te lae druk nie...maar as jy stadig ry...behoort jy nie sidewall damage te kry. Kom dit nou van n Sandvelder af🤣
Thanks for this!
May I ask what camera tripod mount you are using on your window?
It is the Gimpro Door Mount.
Thanks for watching
i would like to ask where did you build the modification on your 79 n the camper as well, its look very nice and well geared for offroad trips. Great trip otherwise
Hi,
Most of the kit is used that I bought and fitted myself.
The Companion is basic and most additions I made myself.
Thanks for watching
Great video 💪🔥
My country really needs to develop it's camp sites and
Hi. We actually prefer campsites to be like that. It makes you feel closer to nature. Really love it. Over commercialized campsites are becoming the norm and takes away the tranquility of the real bush!
Wow okay 👌 if you say so
One question though, what is the maximum traveling speed when towing a trailer?
@bonnyfacemoswetsi depends on the road conditions. In the bush I would say that it depends, as you should always slow down, even without towing..
@OurlifeinAfrica thanks for the reply you just earned yourself a sub
I agree with you mr❤
Kalahari Botswana is not for amateurs sand rules good luck enjoy
You do need to have the basic knowledge. We have learned a lot from making mistakes and paid the school fees.
Thanks for watching
Just a curious camper trailer question; would it be worth changing the springs to have an extra 50mm? That might bring your hitch height level with your bumper and reduce the plowing of your towbar. It's a common thing in Aus. But you would have to extend your support legs for leveling and maybe your entry step/ladder.
Hi. The Cruiser already has a lift, as well as air springs in the back. We use that to completely level the towing combination. Then only the towball is the lowest point which normally creates the anchor.
Since this video we have increased both the tyre sizes on the trailer and the cruiser, and this gives more ground clearance all over.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion
@@OurLifeInAfrica air springs in the back are next on my list for towing as well 😁.
Hi. What was you avg fuel consumption? Curious what the v6 with that trailer gave you.
Hi. We normally average around 4.5km/l on loose sand roads. 6km/l on slow going roads and around 5-5.5km/l on the open roads towing the companion This time tough we averaged 3.6km/l, but we had a fault with our tire pressures. Was way too low.
I really shouldn't watch your videos, it makes me so jealous and so desperate to get back on the open road at the same time!
😂. Thanks for that. The open and “deserted” land is just amazing
What mods have you done to the cruiser? Pls do a video for the cruiser fans
Hi Ryno. Will do a walk around video soon. Thanks for watching
Daar is niks so mooi soos n v6 of n v8 wat sy keel oop maak nie.
Dit is feite daai. Hulle klink darem mooi
If i can afford a cruiser i will never come home again
Once again, thank you for sharing with us.
Pleasure Louise. And thanks a lot for watching
I've always wondered what it was like over that way, so thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! It is a very scenic/fun route
