  • Making our way from Xakanaka to Third Bridge Campsite:
    In this video, join us on a thrilling adventure as we travel through the awe-inspiring landscape of Botswana. Our journey takes us to the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve, where we explore the Xakanaka region and make our way to Third Bridge. You'll witness firsthand the sheer wonder of the African wilderness as we encounter magnificent wildlife and uncover the secrets of this enchanting land. You won't want to miss this incredible journey, so come along and explore the magic of Botswana with us!
    Our overlanding kitted vehicles have handled every obstacle perfectly - and we still stand by our statement that the 79 series Land cruiser is the perfect exploration machine for the harsh African environment.

    That fortuners center diff lock was not engaged unless its only a 2x4. Its amazing how the drivers who get stuck dont get out to hitch up the snatch strap. The Jimney is a beast. Moremi definitely on my next trip agenda but not in wet season.

    Oh what a nice car playing in the mud👍👍👍We have been there twice but with less water and mud but it is an absolutely amazing and beautiful piece of the world. At Third Bridge last time every of our three nights there we had an elephant mother with her baby and the older brother or sister of it on our spot. So lovely! And after them a spotted hyena and a hippo at night also. So its really nice to see your video. We´re comming back 2026!

    Such a wonderful video - as always, I enjoyed every moment (the scenery, people, animals ...). I must confess, I 'laughed out loud' - and watched the following footage at least seven times:
    a. Checking in at Third Bridge (18:50 to 19:13)
    b. Explaining your 'amazing-amazing and super-adventurous day' - just about the entire
    convoy getting stuck in the mud. (19:38 to 19:58).
    Best 'YT-video Tour-Guide Couple' prize goes to ... Kenneth and Ti-Amore.
    Looking forward to experiencing 'Magotho, etc' with you (episode 5).

    Wow, what an adventure. Only downside for you is not getting more days to enjoy Moremi.
    I like the Part the most that you are busy getting someone unstuck and in the background an elephant casually walks by. That says it all for Moremi.

    • @GunnlandExplores
      @GunnlandExplores  Год назад

      This trip was a very high paced one with lots of ground to cover.. We will definitely be back in the Moremi soon and stay there for at least 10 days!! We know there is incredible wildlife to encounter.. That moment is what Botswana is all about - you are so close with nature it’s incredible!! Thanks for watching 😊😊
