Thanks such an amazing episode! I keep watching it back. With our vehicle on its way to Durban from UK videos like this get me so excited to get on the road. Thanks guys Harry&Chloe!
Please organise a meet and greet for your fans in Botswana.my mum and I love your show we enjoy seeing the beauty our country Botswana through your lens.having visited the pans a number of times I get a flood of emotions when watching your visit to Kubu island in the Makgadikgadi Pans the drive through to the pans the challenging but fun terrain of dust and sand how it makes the adventure out of this world.🥺🥰. Keep up the good work guys.cheers!
@@4x4ventures_southafrica l have been sitting here for months waiting patiently wondering what happened to you. Then boom just like that, you drop dropped 54mins of pure gold. I'm currently in the UK, the landscape and those bird songs at the Campsites invoke a lot of childhood memories and it makes me so homesick....lol. So you know, time taken to edit and produce those visuals is much appreciated here.
Thank you kind sir and glad I can make you home sick. Its a good thing bud and will Co tinge to replace deliver gold. Good things come to those that wait, great things come to those with patience. Chat soon mate and enjoy the summer coming 🤙
We spent a week there in December after not being able to get through Beitbridge to Gonarezhou. Loved it. Drove all those roads with my daughter following in her Jimny. Priceless memories!
An overlanding adventure to the Wilds of the Limpopo. Hope you enjoy this one, and keep an eye out for the next one. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and all that good stuff @4x4ventures 🇿🇦
Hi guys... You guys are awesome. I smell the coffee. Magic program and pics are making memories. My feet are itching to visit the Kruger. Going in Jan 2022.
@@4x4ventures_southafrica I know that feeling busy to kid my 2.2 Ranger for off grit / over landing i learn so mush from you , Christoff ,Edward Rolan keep it up Ryan
Ryan your videos make me feel that I am there with you exploring South Africa it is so realistic. I love your work brother. I am from India some day God willing I will visit South Africa.
What a great Video >> we are planning this route for a Pensioners Trip Wife and I and maybe another like minded couple >> Matamba and Blouberg and Mapungubwe and then Punda Maria in Kruger for 2 weeks in Kruger to end off
You will enjoy, and now with all the rains the Bush just looks at its best. I can definitely recommend your planned travels. Enjoy it, be safe and have an adventure. My only advice will be to keep a keen eye for POTHOLES. They are strewn across Limpopos roads like land mines. Enjoy, and thank you for your support
It’s worth spending an hour watching these videos. So well made with narration, cinematography and background music coupled with editing ✔️ ❤️ wish to make this trip in my lifetime
Mapungubwe is such an underrated gem in our opinion & we visit often either on route to & from Botswana or as long weekend getaways. We love the West of the park & Maloutswa Hide is incredible! The area around the camping & tents reminds me of Mana Pools. Pity you guys didn't do the off road 4x4 route - it's totally epic & a lot of fun to do! Gavin & I are absolutely loving the videos from all of you guys! We are about to buy a Conqueror Comfort Platinum & learning SO much from you guys about camping do"s & don'ts all much needed as we have always been chalet dwellers so the info is invaluable! Ps: I love the food & recipes you guy's do too!👌🏻
Hey Dee and Gav, awesome to hear from you guys and yes, this was an absolute gem of a surprise for Ed and myself. It was our first time visiting this magnificent place. Wow, a place I have to go back to for sure. Yes, we were keen to do it, but alas, the ranger wasn't well, and only getting sorted now. Next time. Glad you guys are enjoying our shows, and I know that the other chaps and I appreciate your support. May your conqueror bring you many great adventures, and remember, don't stress the small stuff in setup and tear down. Stop, look around and realise your moments in the places you visit. Keep well, stay in touch and we'll hopefully see you guys out there. Cheers Ryan
Really enjoyed this. I've not been to Mapungubwe, so this has convinced me I need to go there. It's a long way from Cape Town, but certainly looks worth the trip. Thanks guys.
Hey Chris, thanks for that. Planning on Zim trip for end of April, beginning of May. Just hoping Zim borders will open. Fingers crossed that we meet up.
Years ago I was supposed to go to SA for the sardine run and it was to include a trip to the Bush because the fish never keep a scudule. Something came up and I didn't make it :( A few years later my step-daughter wanted to go but then she had health issues. SA is well known among divers
@@raymondclark1785 damn that's sad bro, really wish you could come here, a lot for diverse weather's and many breathtaking landmarks and sights to behold bro. All the best man hope to hear good news sooner or later.
What an epic ride. Super episode! Can't wait for the next episode. This is soooo much better than anything on South African tv. Keep up the good work and keep traveling. OUTSTANDING.
Thank you Werner. Much appreciated mate and glad you are enjoying the adventures. Next episode is going to be massive. Thank you bud for the awesome awesome comment. Truly humbling and keeps us going 🤙
awesome video , you guys missed all the big rain in Mapungubwe. we were neighbors for a few days haha. with the limpopo coming down there was a lot of damage to the infrastructure of the park. the skywalk will not open soon again
I believe so, unfortunately I couldn't make the "chasing the rains" trip with Ed and Chris. Heard about the sky walk, such a pity, but really amazing to get all this rain. Keep well and glad you enjoyed the episode. We'll see you out there 🤙
Hey Gents, I am super glad I came across this channel. Just finished the first episode and really enjoyed it. Great editing. The only thing I must say is the music between the talking is very loud and much louder than the talking so have to keep turning the TV volume down. Keen to watch the rest. Thanks for the videos gents.
Thank you Michael. Great feedback and just know that I am trying to create shows for viewing. Your input is invaluable, and the next ones coming soon will be resolved. Thanks for your support mate 👍
Thanks Ryan nice to watch.we got our firts comander ever will be our first caravan camp at Setara. Like your program.wil let you know how it Was. Keep well
Thank you Johann. Enjoy it mate and the commander, and thank you for the comment. Satara is a busy camp, but absolute magic. Don't forget to hit S100 early morning and late evening. This is a road I recently marked as an absolute gem. You'll see it in the next episode dropping next week.
I've always been hooked on the Botswana 🇧🇼 videos since I'm from Botswana, but this was definitely worth the watch Ryan. Loved it!!! What's that soundtrack at 40:00?
Thanks Mike, and glad to have your support across all channels. Yes, allot of work to make each episode unique and have its own flavour. Good to hear that you enjoy them and our adventures. Keep well mate
🙌🙌🙌 yhanks Henk, much appreciated, and from one creator to another, yes, it is allot of hard work. Thank you for your support and I'll see you at the next one mate 👍
We only had one night at Matamba a few years ago as we were headed to Botswana, but we still remember Alan as a great guy who had put together a fantastic camp. Plus, waking up with a giraffe peeking into our tent is a pretty special memory!
Hey Eric and Ash, yes, Matamba is great but what makes it a fantastic place is the family that runs it. Sue and Alan have many many great overlanding stories and destinations, and their son Mark, has become a good friend to us. What a great little spot, and one we will continually support. Magic. Keep well and stay safe. Rgds Ryan
Thank you. Don't know if there is a vehicle that is the best. Maybe some are better than others. Also depends on setup, functionality, purpose. We'll see what we can do.
Thank you legend, and good luck with your rig build. Its fun, costly and your better half might not talk to you for a while, but, the satisfaction levels are great.
Thank you. Music purchased from Shutterstock.com and Artlist.io. music is a real challenge when creating these episodes. Takes time to find good tracks and costs a small fortune
Luv yo adventures and thanks for showing off what African Tourism has to offer. I enjoy the videos man. I would love for you to show us the snakes in your videos besides the other animals. The other thing I’ve noted is the poor conditions of the roads just wondering why the governments of the different countries you’ve visited invest in that?
I'm back guys!!!! Hectic view months, moved to the Western Cape from Polokwane 😃 What an improvement!!! Will ALWAYS miss the bushveld but hey, follow your dreams ne 😆 Love you guys 👍👌✌🐺🐾
Thanks Herbert, and glad things are getting better. Keep following and make it happen. Thanks for your support and comment. Much appreciated. Keep well and keep enjoying. We'll bring you the bushveld 🤙
Wow!! Absolutely next level Ryan. Great video graph nd great scenery. Yes please continue doing those meet ups with your subscribers. Would love to spend some time with you guys around the fire along the Khwai River soon..
Thank you, and can't wait for that fire. Looking forward to the next one and hope to see you there. Thank you for the support. Keep posted, part 2 dropping soon
Pleasure. Wil make sure of dat fire appointment. Can't wait for part 2. Keep doing what you doing. Traveling through you man. Moremi is currently closed coz of the flooding so not traveling for me.. 🙁
Thanks mate and will do. Yeh I can imagine Moremi is flooded, and the water is only coming from Angola this month right? Missing Moremi big time mate. Enjoy and chat soon 🤙
This is really great. Going to try out these sites. Doing my first camping this weekend (luxury camping because it is my first time and I drive an H-1 which would struggle a bit on hectic tracks).
Hey guys, been following your vids for some time now... Keep up the great work! Perhaps a suggestion; please do a vid on your specific vehicles, pros/cons, spares you take along on your trips, issues you've had, advice for guys with similar vehicles wanting to do these trips etc etc.
Thank you, and glad you notice. Allot of work to get the images. I work with the Sony A6400 APSC camera. Love it as it is a hybrid camera, excellent for run and gun video, and quick to shoot a 24 mega pixel photo. Hope this helps and thank you for your support
Hi Jonathan, I haven’t done Namibia yet, but maybe it happens soon. I normally carry 40ltrs of extra fuel on the roof. This will get me 200kms range, however, for a Namibia trip I might end up taking 80ltrs, depending on the trip itinerary and distances to fuel stations. I already carry 163 ltrs with the long range tank.
Man, only you have that skill to keep me glued to the screen for an hour 😂. Bummed I couldn't make it to the meet up, but hopefully I can on the next one. This looks like it was an amazing journey for you guys. Stay safe bud 😁😎🤙
Thank you J. Yes, you have to make it up for the next one. Glad you enjoyed it and the next one is dropping real soon. Thanks for your support and yes, you too, stay safe mate 🤙
The videos that you, Edward and Christoff put out are amazing. Not just entertaining but so useful and informative. I have explored southern Kruger and was just in awe of everything and your videos help me to dream of new adventures when I next visit South Africa. I am a New Zealander currently in the UK but stayed at River Hill Lodge in Komatipoort last month which is a fantastic Lodge with great owners and staff. I have a question, what do you guys do for your day jobs?
Yes the boys are back 🙌🏼 love seeing all your different stories from your trip. We got ready on them elephants in the hideout you were in how magical is that! Love watching all your vids it feels like we’re on an adventure with you guys! Hope your all staying well and safe. Can we ask what do you reckon the likelihood of tourists coming into South Africa for July we moved our Safari from last year but I’m not hopeful not sure what the situation is like where you are? Thanks in advance 😀 James and Ellie
Hey James and Ellie. Thank you again for the kind words. Always great to hear from you, and glad you enjoyed this one. Its always special and emotive for us with the wildlife. Really experiences that touch the soul, when they happen. So, I reckon International travel is already happening. Botswana borders are open, South African borders are open, Namibian and Zimbabwe, but you need a COVID clear certificate that's not older than 48hrs from you GP, doctor. We are now at the lowest level, level 1. Allot of restrictions have been eased. So yes, travel is happening. As for bookings, this is something you need to push and chase weekly. There is whispers of a third wave expected for winter. Our positive case numbers are very low, but we know how these numbers can change. I reckon you can travel, and should travel. There is no time like the present, and now it is ideal. Worst case you have a 3 month window, thereabouts. Maybe get a hold of a SA travel agent to chat about possibilities and timings etc. Good luck and we look forward to you guys coming back and supporting tourism, it has taken a heavy financial knock across all countries. Cheers, keep safe and stay in touch 🙌
Thanks Ryan that’s good to hear 😃 I hope it can happen and travel has to resume at some point and we’d love to help contribute to your gorgeous country have to stay positive during these times. Hopefully you won’t have a 3rd wave as your vaccines are rolled out we had our Wednesday and they make your arms ache loads, Ellie had a raging fever and shakes lasted one day all okay now. Hope you guys can get one soon. Take care and stay safe friend 😃
Shit mate, that doesn't sound too good. Glad she is better, and that you both okay now. You failed at selling it bud. We a bit worried with first round of vacs here. Let's keep fingers crossed that everything begins the process of normalisation. Yes, we also playing our part in helping the tourism get back on its feet. Shame, it has been tough for many many places, some have closed and others are holding on. We'll get there, sooner than later, buts that's my impatience. Have a fantastic weekend, keep your chin up and let me know when you lock in for an adventure, will be great to meet up
Ryan I’m so sorry haha it’s okay after one to two days small price to pay for protection. Aww that would be amazing Botswana’s on our bucket list to visit too and it would be great to meet with you guys and hire a truck and camp would be amazing! You too have a great weekend, sure will stay positive hope all goes well for the vaccines your end got our 🤞🏼 for you guys.
You guys are having a lekker time out there. I always go alone because I'm ain't rich. I can't really afford those 5 days bookings and fancy cameras and drones and all that. I love exploring the world. Botswana 🇧🇼, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Lesotho, eastern cape, Tzaneen, limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal. Enjoy mates. Maybe we'll bump onto each other one of the good days
Yes, always nice to adventure. None of us are rich mate, remember that we got the gear to create content for you, for mahala. We are lucky to have some sponsors on board, but we work hard and pay for 95% of our trips and vehicles out of our own pockets. Go subscribe on patreon and support me with donations. Thanks mate. See you out there
Hi Ryan, Chris & Ed. Please advice on the camera and additional equipment I need to shoot videos and pics on safari. What do u guys use, your videos are top notch.
We support 4x4megaworld strijdom park only. They will advise and sort you out no problems Michael. We believe they the better of the bunch and keen listener's. Just let them know I sent you on to them. Speak to Robert.
Mechanical parts will fail eventually on all vehicles, be prepared and inspect all components regularly. Don’t let breakages spoil your adventure, they will happen and are just part of the adventure.
I so wanna do this off road in Namibia/Kgalagadi/Kalahari tho, but nobody in my circle is into this and I don't have a 4x4 😂 Bucket list nonetheless >>>> 👌

Luv yo adventures and thanks for showing off what African Tourism has to offer. I enjoy the videos man. I would love for you to show us the snakes in your videos besides the other animals.
The other thing I’ve noted is the poor conditions of the roads just wondering why the governments of the different countries you’ve visited invest in that?
I'm back guys!!!! Hectic view months, moved to the Western Cape from Polokwane 😃 What an improvement!!! Will ALWAYS miss the bushveld but hey, follow your dreams ne 😆 Love you guys 👍👌✌🐺🐾
Thanks Herbert, and glad things are getting better. Keep following and make it happen. Thanks for your support and comment. Much appreciated. Keep well and keep enjoying. We'll bring you the bushveld 🤙
Great video. Note: The Blouberg Nature Reserve is 9340ha and not 93 000ha as mentioned in the video.
Thanks
Yes, sorry about that. Thank you for the correction 🙌
Wow!! Absolutely next level Ryan. Great video graph nd great scenery. Yes please continue doing those meet ups with your subscribers. Would love to spend some time with you guys around the fire along the Khwai River soon..
Thank you, and can't wait for that fire. Looking forward to the next one and hope to see you there. Thank you for the support. Keep posted, part 2 dropping soon
Pleasure. Wil make sure of dat fire appointment. Can't wait for part 2. Keep doing what you doing. Traveling through you man. Moremi is currently closed coz of the flooding so not traveling for me.. 🙁
Thanks mate and will do. Yeh I can imagine Moremi is flooded, and the water is only coming from Angola this month right? Missing Moremi big time mate. Enjoy and chat soon 🤙
Doesn't look like there is much inflow from Angola this year. It seems to be from the January - February rains around the Delta area..
It's gonna come mate. Going to be a very full swampy winter I reckon. Wither way, the water is always a god send. Pula mate, pula
This is really great. Going to try out these sites. Doing my first camping this weekend (luxury camping because it is my first time and I drive an H-1 which would struggle a bit on hectic tracks).
Goodluck, and enjoy the adventure mate. Special places and with all this rain, the ecosystems have never looked so good. 🤙
Hey guys, been following your vids for some time now... Keep up the great work!
Perhaps a suggestion; please do a vid on your specific vehicles, pros/cons, spares you take along on your trips, issues you've had, advice for guys with similar vehicles wanting to do these trips etc etc.
In the makings. Thank you for the feedback and comments. Much appreciated 🤙
You have great quality pictures. Well done. What cameras are you using?
Thank you, and glad you notice. Allot of work to get the images. I work with the Sony A6400 APSC camera. Love it as it is a hybrid camera, excellent for run and gun video, and quick to shoot a 24 mega pixel photo. Hope this helps and thank you for your support
Such a great channel! Out of interest how much reserve fuel do you carry? Particularly your Namibian trips?
Hi Jonathan, I haven’t done Namibia yet, but maybe it happens soon. I normally carry 40ltrs of extra fuel on the roof. This will get me 200kms range, however, for a Namibia trip I might end up taking 80ltrs, depending on the trip itinerary and distances to fuel stations. I already carry 163 ltrs with the long range tank.
Man, only you have that skill to keep me glued to the screen for an hour 😂. Bummed I couldn't make it to the meet up, but hopefully I can on the next one. This looks like it was an amazing journey for you guys. Stay safe bud 😁😎🤙
Thank you J. Yes, you have to make it up for the next one. Glad you enjoyed it and the next one is dropping real soon. Thanks for your support and yes, you too, stay safe mate 🤙
Fantastic. How come you have never come up in my suggestions before...
Thank you. Have no idea why? SUBSCRIBE and all that good stuff @4x4ventures not to miss out
Correct Ed Mapunggubwe looks very similar to Mana Pools where we visit often
Yes, however, on the Western side specifically. Try book at Mazhou campsite. This campsite is really something special and, very wild.
The videos that you, Edward and Christoff put out are amazing. Not just entertaining but so useful and informative. I have explored southern Kruger and was just in awe of everything and your videos help me to dream of new adventures when I next visit South Africa. I am a New Zealander currently in the UK but stayed at River Hill Lodge in Komatipoort last month which is a fantastic Lodge with great owners and staff. I have a question, what do you guys do for your day jobs?
Yes the boys are back 🙌🏼 love seeing all your different stories from your trip. We got ready on them elephants in the hideout you were in how magical is that!
Love watching all your vids it feels like we’re on an adventure with you guys! Hope your all staying well and safe.
Can we ask what do you reckon the likelihood of tourists coming into South Africa for July we moved our Safari from last year but I’m not hopeful not sure what the situation is like where you are?
Thanks in advance 😀 James and Ellie
Hey James and Ellie. Thank you again for the kind words. Always great to hear from you, and glad you enjoyed this one. Its always special and emotive for us with the wildlife. Really experiences that touch the soul, when they happen.
So, I reckon International travel is already happening. Botswana borders are open, South African borders are open, Namibian and Zimbabwe, but you need a COVID clear certificate that's not older than 48hrs from you GP, doctor.
We are now at the lowest level, level 1. Allot of restrictions have been eased. So yes, travel is happening. As for bookings, this is something you need to push and chase weekly. There is whispers of a third wave expected for winter. Our positive case numbers are very low, but we know how these numbers can change. I reckon you can travel, and should travel. There is no time like the present, and now it is ideal. Worst case you have a 3 month window, thereabouts. Maybe get a hold of a SA travel agent to chat about possibilities and timings etc. Good luck and we look forward to you guys coming back and supporting tourism, it has taken a heavy financial knock across all countries. Cheers, keep safe and stay in touch 🙌
Thanks Ryan that’s good to hear 😃 I hope it can happen and travel has to resume at some point and we’d love to help contribute to your gorgeous country have to stay positive during these times.
Hopefully you won’t have a 3rd wave as your vaccines are rolled out we had our Wednesday and they make your arms ache loads, Ellie had a raging fever and shakes lasted one day all okay now.
Hope you guys can get one soon. Take care and stay safe friend 😃
Shit mate, that doesn't sound too good. Glad she is better, and that you both okay now. You failed at selling it bud. We a bit worried with first round of vacs here. Let's keep fingers crossed that everything begins the process of normalisation. Yes, we also playing our part in helping the tourism get back on its feet. Shame, it has been tough for many many places, some have closed and others are holding on. We'll get there, sooner than later, buts that's my impatience. Have a fantastic weekend, keep your chin up and let me know when you lock in for an adventure, will be great to meet up
Ryan I’m so sorry haha it’s okay after one to two days small price to pay for protection.
Aww that would be amazing Botswana’s on our bucket list to visit too and it would be great to meet with you guys and hire a truck and camp would be amazing!
You too have a great weekend, sure will stay positive hope all goes well for the vaccines your end got our 🤞🏼 for you guys.
Mapangubwe can get 48 in February
Definitely insane heat there
You guys are having a lekker time out there. I always go alone because I'm ain't rich. I can't really afford those 5 days bookings and fancy cameras and drones and all that. I love exploring the world. Botswana 🇧🇼, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Lesotho, eastern cape, Tzaneen, limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal. Enjoy mates. Maybe we'll bump onto each other one of the good days
Yes, always nice to adventure. None of us are rich mate, remember that we got the gear to create content for you, for mahala. We are lucky to have some sponsors on board, but we work hard and pay for 95% of our trips and vehicles out of our own pockets. Go subscribe on patreon and support me with donations. Thanks mate. See you out there
Hi Ryan, Chris & Ed. Please advice on the camera and additional equipment I need to shoot videos and pics on safari. What do u guys use, your videos are top notch.
What size tyres on the Ranger? Love the cinematography
Thank you. I've mentioned size of tyres in previous episodes quite a few times . . . 285/75/16s 18mm positive offset on rims. 32.6 inch
I would love to be part of this, very lovely
Which shops or workshops do u go to get mods for the truck and also put on aswell if this make sense
We support 4x4megaworld strijdom park only. They will advise and sort you out no problems Michael. We believe they the better of the bunch and keen listener's. Just let them know I sent you on to them. Speak to Robert.
Mechanical parts will fail eventually on all vehicles, be prepared and inspect all components regularly. Don’t let breakages spoil your adventure, they will happen and are just part of the adventure.
I so wanna do this off road in Namibia/Kgalagadi/Kalahari tho, but nobody in my circle is into this and I don't have a 4x4 😂
Bucket list nonetheless >>>> 👌
That's why we here, to show the above adventures. Bucket lists are where it starts. We'll see you out there
When is the next episode launching? What was wrong with your ford?
Dropping this Friday. Wait for the reaser trailer then you will know. Ford has a broken drive shaft. Expensive fix, so just waiting for savings.
I grew up on denstaat
So sad it’s not part of mapanggubwe
