@@GetOutGO we did Pafuri to Malelane 5 years ago and it was fantastic and included the awful rains in late February . And we returned in 2022 and it was great way to celebrate our 50th wedding. We are retired Brits who live in Portugal.
Found your fire lighting method interesting (wish we had it in the day) as a field geologist we would pride ourselves on lighting up our fire with one match! Love the series!
Hi Guys.. Great video once again.. Great storytelling and awesome drone footage👌absolute great photography …Simply lovely … Can’t wait for your next adventure.
I appreciate you labeling the bird names - saves me pausing to look them up! We have birds in Canada that are related, but so many are completely different. I've shown them to my cat, because she is a big bird-watcher, but she is much more interested in Venessa's cooking!
Jaaaa, Jetboil. Great piece of gear if used for hot water only. I bought mine second hand. Buying them new is crazy expensive AND spare parts are not that readily available. Regarding Moremi and Savute, I think the star is loosing its shine very fast. We found Xaxanaka to be very run down and not well kept. But that seems to be more of a Botswana thing. I still have to find a well kept campsite in Bots. All the Bridges, Magothlo etc. are expensive with trashy ablutions and campsites. Enjoying the abundance of wildlife unfortunately comes at a high price.
Love your channel! Keep up the amazing content! Would you ever do a video/series on “must have” equipment for overlanding in Southern Africa? Would be very useful to the many new enthusiasts
These places charge like wounded Buffalo, and makes it tuff for the 'normal folks' to attend...... Glad you share there trips, atleast then some of us also get to experience it. Good Sunday viewing. Side note That curry dish looked delicious, I'm a sucker for curries. Thanks for the share 🤙👍
Great episode. Moremi looks awesome. Re the JetBoil…you bought the small one - the Zip. The bigger version (the Flash, I think) has the self igniter and the colour changing cover that tells when the water is boiling. I’ve got the Zip as well. Love it. Use it all the time on our trips.
I'd really like to meet you in person one day, you, Ed and Ryan, I have been following you for quite sometime and you are the reason I want to start overlanding, thank you a lot legends. #ProudMotswana
Oh that was great Christoff. More of these trips please mate, it is really setting us up for our self drive bucket list trip in the future. Really interested to know how your set up is performing, in the heat and more importantly the rain. Thank you mate
Thank you! The tent part is insulated so it’s not bad but it still gets hot. We use a 12v fan which helps. I will be testing an airconditioner but I think it’s probably too bulky and too power-hungry.
Thanks Christopher! Called a firestick, pretty common in SA as we have to light hardwood most of the time. www.takealot.com/gas-fire-starter-flame-stick/PLID54529561
Great video Christoff. Love watching your videos. You asked about the Jetboil. We have the 1 liter and it has the temperature indicator and the push button. Plus we don’t find it flimsy. Highly recommend it. One more thing when do we see the inside of your rig with the cupboards? Looking for ideas 😂
Thanks Paul, yup we subsequently find out we bought the “cheap” model 🤪. We are probably going a different direction with the cupboards, will have it in in Feb by hook or by crook!
Great Video as always Christoff, But when are you going to do Angola? Would be super keen for that adventure as an armchair spectator. Keep up the great work.
Hi, depends entirely on what your needs are. We do a mix of longer stays and 1-night stops. We also go very far off the beaten track. For these reasons I prefer not to tow something mainly because of the extra complexity (extra tyres, bearings, axle, shocks, brakes etc.). Our setup is very quick though and still provides an inside living space (needed on extended travel). It's also just the two of us. f you only travel occasionally, don't want to modify your car heavily, like to stay in one place for longer and are more than a couple then a trailer will probably be better.
Please see the note in the description. All drone footage was taken on private property with permission from the respective owners.even though it’s edited to seem that way, no flights were flown inside national parks.
Thank you. My original hat is a Drizabone, they don’t make hats anymore unfortunately. You can still get hold of Akubras but they’re quite expensive outside Australia.
Thanks Christoff - looks like a proper adventure. I see you managed to get some great drone shots - did you have to get permission to fly the drone? I’ve wanted to take mine before, but wasn’t sure on the regulations. Would be good to know for future - thanks in advance.
Thanks Graeme! I put a note in the description; all the drone shots were taken on private properties with permission from the respective owners. No shots were taken inside National Parks or reserves even though it’s edited to look that way. To get those permits are pretty much impossible.
Thanks Christoff. That makes sense. The drone footage adds a great element of perspective - nice one. We spent some time in Xakanaxa a few years ago - absolutely loved it. Probably my favourite camp in Moremi. Enjoying the episode - thank you.
Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it!
Love these Back to the Moremi episodes and your reminiscing about your previous trips. Beautiful place.
Thanks Paul! The next adventure series (Kruger North to South) is even more nostalgic...

Thanks guys. Incredible episode and can't wait for the Kruger one also. ❤
Thank you! Kruger episodes should land soon!
Found your fire lighting method interesting (wish we had it in the day) as a field geologist we would pride ourselves on lighting up our fire with one match! Love the series!
Thank you! We mostly have hard wood so it just makes life a lot easier not to have kindling or battle with firelighters
Awesome episode Christoff, so happy to see you getting out there solo with this new rig after the issues you had with the Fortuner.
Thanks Tebogo!
Yours is still one of favorite travel shows to watch. Relaxed and appreciative as you are, you make us feel like we're there with you.
Thank you for coming along!
Another tremendous episode, I will be out there soon. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and enjoy!
Hi Guys.. Great video once again.. Great storytelling and awesome drone footage👌absolute great photography …Simply lovely … Can’t wait for your next adventure.
Thank you!
We absolutely love your and Vanessa’s adventures!!
Thanks for coming along!
What an epic. Everything is great about it. Thanks Chris and Vanessa. I real enjoyed every part of it💯

😂 ours has a thing for bears
I love the music you use in your videos and as always love Botswana
Thank you! Yup, we love it as well!
Another amazing video. Loved every minute of it! Look forward to the next one.
Thank you Darryl, much appreciated!
Another great video, well done. I just like the relaxed feel of all your travels! 💯
Thank you!

Thank you! We're doing a back to basics video soon so will include equipment in that as well 👍
Great video, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Excellent videography, beautiful story narration. The biryani looks delicious.
Thank you!
Get~good evening! Love it~ that is top upload-till next time. 💥
Thank you!

Good Sunday viewing.
Side note
That curry dish looked delicious, I'm a sucker for curries.
Thanks for the share
🤙👍
Thanks Paul! I think even the aunties would be proud of that curry 😉
Great episode. Moremi looks awesome. Re the JetBoil…you bought the small one - the Zip. The bigger version (the Flash, I think) has the self igniter and the colour changing cover that tells when the water is boiling. I’ve got the Zip as well. Love it. Use it all the time on our trips.
Thanks! Yup, so we realised after the fact. I think it is overpriced for what you’re getting to be honest
What a great video!!! Thanks once again for the mention. What a privilege to meet you guys in southgate
Thanks Johan, was great meeting you guys!
😀

Thanks for watching and it's awesome you're getting out there! We will no doubt be back in Botswana many times still so keep an out for us 😉
@@GetOutGO Thank you, I will keep on watching.
Thanks for another amazing trip.
Thanks for watching Leon!

Great clip as usual showing the sites.
Amazing thunderstorm!
I have never seen such a firelighter 👌

Great Video as always Christoff, But when are you going to do Angola? Would be super keen for that adventure as an armchair spectator. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! As soon as funds allow it we’ll do Angola. It’s 2000 km just to get to the first border so not cheap…
Great fun
I have seen your review of a genie trailer and since you are using 79 series setup now which one would you recommend, this current setup or trailer?
Hi, depends entirely on what your needs are. We do a mix of longer stays and 1-night stops. We also go very far off the beaten track.

Chris you have a great set-up - The canopy works so well and no towing. Your drone shots are excellent - what drone would you recommend?
Thank you! A good drone to start off with is the Mini Pro 4
Can I ask how you managed the legal drone footage?
Please see the note in the description. All drone footage was taken on private property with permission from the respective owners.even though it’s edited to seem that way, no flights were flown inside national parks.
Another great video. Where could I find your hat?
Thank you. My original hat is a Drizabone, they don’t make hats anymore unfortunately. You can still get hold of Akubras but they’re quite expensive outside Australia.
Can a person drive there in the dry seson with a 2x4 with diff lock?,
Nope afraid not, you need a 4x4
@GetOutGO thank you.
Thanks Christoff - looks like a proper adventure. I see you managed to get some great drone shots - did you have to get permission to fly the drone? I’ve wanted to take mine before, but wasn’t sure on the regulations. Would be good to know for future - thanks in advance.

Thanks Christoff. That makes sense. The drone footage adds a great element of perspective - nice one. We spent some time in Xakanaxa a few years ago - absolutely loved it. Probably my favourite camp in Moremi. Enjoying the episode - thank you.
Thanks for taking us with you in your overlanding in Moremi
