  • Many months of planning and co-ordinating went into this trip! ‪@MyLifeinAfrica‬ , ‪@4x4ventures_southafrica‬ , ‪@GetOutGO‬ and myself travelled to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana with one ultimate goal. To cross the Reserve from North to South in 13 Days! Not everything went to plan but it certainly was an epic adventure and one I will never forget! In episode 1 we enjoy a night at Khama Rhino Sanctuary and head to Rakops the following day to stock up on supplies before leaving the tar road and civilization behind.

    Edward I'm stuck now at work in Iraq for way longer than my usual rotations. I have time to consume lotsa RUclips videos (overlanding & adventure biking) by various Tubers. Your videos are of the best. Great story telling, nice blend of stills & actions, awesome choice of vistas, superb editing skills and, appropriate and varied choice of music to go with the footage to help set the scene and, importantly, not drowning out natural sounds with music or commentary track. Your commentary is on point, sincere and, now waffle. Great job. :-)

    Feeling inspired to visit CK after that vid. Excited. PS: I think it is now safe to assume you love your coffee and good coffee prepared correctly. Would love a vid on your bean selection, the Jetboil, Aeropress and even the Stanley flask and why you chose what you did. I really miss a good coffee while traveling, but clearly I don’t have to. Shot, Ed!

    As a suggestion, why don’t you frequently give us the dates of your travel and also a map of where you are? The campsites would also be handy, number etc.

    Hi Ed, Amazing Video, what Tyre pressure do you put on your fully loaded Trailer? and the front wheel of the car and wheels at the back? Is CKGR doable with a stock standard Tyres of a new Toyota Hilux Revo?

    • @EdwardBath
      @EdwardBath  3 года назад +1

      Hey mate! Thank you so much! I run 2.4 bar in the fully loaded trailer on tar and as soon as I hit the dirt I lower it to 1.3 bar. I can go down to 0.6 if I really have to 🙌 on the vehicle I run 3 bar at the front and 3.5 at the back fully loaded 🙌 you could do it with the standard tyres, I had amazing tyres and still lost one because I got unlucky but I would recommend getting some good all terrain tyres if you can. But don’t let the stock tyres stop you from exploring the magic that is the CKGR

    Hi Edward, are you guys allowed out of the vehicles, if you are not camping, ??
    We used to Etosha, Kgalagadi and Kruger Wildtuin, not allowed leaving the vehicle

    • @EdwardBath
      @EdwardBath  3 года назад +2

      Hey! So in the places you have mentioned they have fences around the campsites whereas these are unfenced. You used to be allowed out of your vehicle but there is still no clarity on the rules in the recent changes. Even if you are allowed out then it’s always advised to stay close to the vehicle and to be aware and all times and enjoy the freedom that is Botswana! 🙌🇧🇼
