Another great video, Tim! That feeling of near anxiety, of being almost overwhelmed by isolation is, I believe, not uncommon among people who find themselves alone in the wildernis. I remember the first time I felt that: I was six and had walked into the veld about an hour from Jansenville where we lived at the time, I I vividly remember feeling that someone or something was watching me, and a general sense of unease that only went away when I saw the church spire again.
Absolutely brilliant. Your videos are incredible your editing and photography stunning. Absolutely loved sitting here in the freezing cold UK watching these videos. Africa my Africa. Xx
Huge respect to you. Your emotion flowed and we were swept along with it. I hope you always stay safe. Look forward to more. As for us, tomorrow we fly out to Johannesburg to begin our journey north to Pafuri to begin our 21 night stay in the Kruger. Greetings from the UK.
Great Video! It was a Toyota Prado that caught fire because of grass wrapped around the exhaust system. The damage caused to it was the grader that pushed it off the road.
Nature doesn't stop, does it?. The more you pierce into it, the more it expands. It's a miracle. "Seven days in Kalahari" - a pilgrimage, almost became an inner journey! The site of that burnt car was like a rude awakening in surrounding nature - unprecedented. Thanks for another masterpiece!
Tim i say it too at Lost in Krüger..This is like National Geo wild Doku ..☝️👍👌..Awesome Job ..Thanks for Share with us and hopefully für the Next Episode 🎉💪🍀🙏
What an intro Tim. This is camping solo at next level, bird animals' sightings epic. Bosobogolo camp 2 flippen epic thanks for sharing the journey Tim take care
Woww what an amazing video and coverage. Superb videography. Ur such a passionate person on what your doing. Solo adventure like this is too thrilling and your mind keeps thinking lot of things on what could be next..have a safe trip and enjoyyy
Aiming to be posting every second week going forward, recently invested heavily in a beast new mac, and now have a full time editor! So hopefully we start to post more reliably! And thank you!
Awesome trip. Fantastic videography. Whatever using are as your external camera holder, I want it badly. I’m in a process of fabricating my own, that would save me a headache.
Awesome episode again Tim. That Prado has been there for years and if memory serves me correctly, it was a grass fire, seed against the radiator/exhaust.
@@LostinAfrica But still, 100% a stark reminder of how quickly things can go wrong. A simple stop to check tyres could of been all that was needed for the fire to start. This is why it is so important to get under your vehicle and inspect for anything that isn't right while out there.
Thanks for all videos. Love them, I grew upp i Tanzania. Do you have a rescue bag that you just catch if something happens. Do you train for that situation eg fire?
Good one Tim! Its fascinating how our brains become programmed so to speak. If you had another person next to you, your thoughts would not be nearly as focused on the possible dangers around you in such an environment, even though the risk is pretty much the same. Good on you for taking on these solo trips, I think I would probably last 2 or 3 nights before I went a bit bossies!
I went solo into the CKGR, 5 nights. 1 night in piperpan 1 (when there was nobody in piper 2), 1 night Lekhubu, knowing no humans in dozens of kilometers. But man, you take going solo to another level. Wow, respect! Awesome video's.
@@LostinAfrica with everything that you allready have accomplished and the hurdles you have mastered, you will succeed in that also. All the best and know if you feel lonely that there are so many people travelling with you and wishing you the best (and save travels).
Great video, thx for sharing. The saad part is, one can never get a booking. We watch many, many over landers, and many times they make the same comment, there is no one they passed, or signs of other people.
An ostrich group, called a herd, numbers about 12 individuals. Male ostriches compete for control of a group of several females. A herd has a dominant male and a dominant female.
We’re looking into it, the margins on this type of overlanding are so so low though that it would have to either be very large tour groups (which I wouldn’t want), or exorbitant pricing (which no one would book). So i think most likely will be premium photographic tours to some iconic locations! Many things planned for 2024, so hopefully this materializes!
Beautifully shot and edited, but just a reminder to everyone, you can not just turn up at a campsite and pitch camp there. Mabua has truly been discovered now and most folks are struggling to get the best camping sites 11 months in advance and even longer in the sites managed by inter-tourism. The last thing anybody wants having planned and prepared for a trip like this is the confrontation of finding somebody has pitched in your allocated campsite and then they have the gaul to say “ can I share”. Then they make you feel bad because they have to pack up and try and do it at another campsite. If you haven’t got a reservation you should not be in the park. You must go to the DWNP office at the entrance gate and they will allocate you with any spare sites that are available.
Thanks Steve. And while I do agree, and normally wouldn’t recommend it. The park was so empty, and I never set up camp till after the ‘gates’ closed. But yes i wouldn’t recommend it.
Please guys just a reminder..you can not "choose" a campsite when arriving, a campsite is allocated to you and needed to stick to your reservation and NO arriving a day sooner as you need to go to the main gate where they can allocate you with payment to the correct campsite..too many to my shame south africans just ajust the rules in our neighbour countries.
You were so scared in this episode and it's so funny 😂😂😭😂
Really enjoy these longer 45-60 min episodes vs. the older 20-30m ones!
Glad to hear! We’re testing these longer form videos, basically 1 hour tv slots, every second week, vs the shorter ones weekly!
Another great video, Tim! That feeling of near anxiety, of being almost overwhelmed by isolation is, I believe, not uncommon among people who find themselves alone in the wildernis.

Incredible video Tim, the best part of a solo trip is the freedom to be creative - without stressing that others are getting bored! 😂
Haha exactly! Why are you stopping agaaaaain to put a tripod down and film yourself driving away, only to have to come back to get the tripod! Haha!
Fire extinguishers are an absolute must and not packed away, mounted at a door or easy to grab spot. Safe travels everyone!
Absolutely brilliant. Your videos are incredible your editing and photography stunning. Absolutely loved sitting here in the freezing cold UK watching these videos. Africa my Africa. Xx
Ah Mandy, I love comments like this, thank you! The power of transporting someone from across the world to this continent I love so much! 🥰
Huge respect to you. Your emotion flowed and we were swept along with it. I hope you always stay safe. Look forward to more. As for us, tomorrow we fly out to Johannesburg to begin our journey north to Pafuri to begin our 21 night stay in the Kruger. Greetings from the UK.
Thank you!!! Ah I am so jealous, absolutely love Kruger, enjoy every moment, and don’t miss a morning drive!!! 🥰
Enjoyed this a lot. Thanks!
Thank you!
Amazing! Beutiful landscape and excellent filming 👍☺
Thank you! 🙏🏻
OMG!!! I love this guy 👏👏👏👏👏
well done. Ive enjoyed your videos. Thank you
Glad you like them!
Amazing experience, it certainly looks like there's a lot less animals than when we were there 10 years ago.
Were you in the Kaa area?
Great Video! It was a Toyota Prado that caught fire because of grass wrapped around the exhaust system. The damage caused to it was the grader that pushed it off the road.
Oh interesting! Thanks for letting us know!
Good video bud thanks for coming to our country we welcome you
Thank you! One of my favorite countries on the planet!

Love this comment! Thanks for the support!! 🙏🏻
Really enjoying this series from the Kgalagadi! Keep up the amazing work and thanks for sharing your story!
the amount of effort and energy needed to get those vehicle passing by shots, astounds me !!! amazing job Tim
Thank you brother! Its a labour of love!
I like the cinematography 👌
Thank you!
Tim i say it too at Lost in Krüger..This is like National Geo wild Doku ..☝️👍👌..Awesome Job ..Thanks for Share with us and hopefully für the Next Episode 🎉💪🍀🙏
Well i hope to one day shoot a series for them, so that is wonderful to hear, thank you Markus!!
Awesome episode Tim. Please keep the episodes coming we really enjoy your trips.
Pushing extremely hard to keep them coming every second week at least! There will probably be 4/5 from this trip! And thank you!
What an intro Tim. This is camping solo at next level, bird animals' sightings epic. Bosobogolo camp 2 flippen epic thanks for sharing the journey Tim take care
Thanks brother! More to come in two weeks!
Woww what an amazing video and coverage. Superb videography. Ur such a passionate person on what your doing. Solo adventure like this is too thrilling and your mind keeps thinking lot of things on what could be next..have a safe trip and enjoyyy
Love your choice of music with this one!! Keep it up.. It's very funky and awesome to see you going solo so well
Thank you, have another employee helping with the edits now, even though the channel makes about $100 a month haha! His music design is beautiful!
Brur thanks alot ey for the upload, please dont give up on this brilliant work on (YT) please upload more soon...

@@LostinAfrica I believe this is the week ive been waiting for.. #ep3 notification is on far SATURDAY hipp hipp
Excellent…one question, how do you attach the camera mount to the outside of the car ?
Awesome trip. Fantastic videography. Whatever using are as your external camera holder, I want it badly. I’m in a process of fabricating my own, that would save me a headache.
We’re busy developing one! I have bought the cheapest to the most expensive and have never been happy, so now we are making one!
I'll be your first buyer. I have also paid too much for what turned out to be mediocre products.@@LostinAfrica
Such a good episode! Thanks Tim. Really cool to see more of the Kgalagadi.
Glad you enjoyed it Asher! 😊
What an episode. Great work!
Thank you!
Good stuff Tim! Keep doing what you’re doing.😊
Always!
Awesome episode again Tim.
That Prado has been there for years and if memory serves me correctly, it was a grass fire, seed against the radiator/exhaust.
Yeah someone else also said that, apparently the damage was from pushing it out of the way, which makes sense! And thank you! 🙏🏻

Hi Paul, thank you! I don’t have a rescue bag, but fire extinguishers and first aid kit are always very easily accessible!
Good one Tim! Its fascinating how our brains become programmed so to speak.

Good on you for taking on these solo trips, I think I would probably last 2 or 3 nights before I went a bit bossies!
Haha thanks david, and yeah exactly! It becomes a journey inside your mind as much as outside! Planning my next big solo adventure already!
Good on you well done doing this solo. Yet again AMAZING cinematography 👏👌👍😊.
Watching from New zealand (ex SA living in NZ)
Hope you’re wearing your springbok jersey every day still! 😝😊🥰
@LostinAfrica always a springbok supporter 🇿🇦❣️

@@LostinAfricaMe too, enter Bots at Tweerivieren out through Kaa and northwards.
Great video, thx for sharing. The saad part is, one can never get a booking. We watch many, many over landers, and many times they make the same comment, there is no one they passed, or signs of other people.
Yeah I don’t understand it to he honest, it’s one of the hardest parks to get a booking for!
@@LostinAfrica great footage… thx for sharing...
It depends where you want to be. The Kaa area almost always has space, Mabua is so so. Rooipunts & Polentswa are impossible.
An ostrich group, called a herd, numbers about 12 individuals. Male ostriches compete for control of a group of several females. A herd has a dominant male and a dominant female.
Great video. Love your site.
Haha thanks for clearing that up Pieter!
Do you give tours ? Is it possible to tag along on one of your adventures?

Man trip looks amazing, how was this one as a solo trip and would you recommend doing this one solo ?
Honestly probably not, you’ll see why in the rest of the series. As amazing an experience as it was, it’s just too risky in Mabua.
Please guys just a reminder..you can not "choose" a campsite when arriving, a campsite is allocated to you and needed to stick to your reservation and NO arriving a day sooner as you need to go to the main gate where they can allocate you with payment to the correct campsite..too many to my shame south africans just ajust the rules in our neighbour countries.
Totally agree, but this was 18 months ago post covid and no one was in the park.
What time of the year were you there?
Early December.
You should consider coming to Swaziland 🇸🇿 hey
Ah i love swaziland, have been many times! But we should do a series there for sure!!
@@LostinAfrica you should let me know when you come through 😀
what time of the year is it?
Early December Pieter 😊
Sorry Tim that you felt so lonely😢
Such is life, part of the journey, and you end up discovering a lot about yourself with extreme solitude!
