The adventure continues as we go Overlanding in Botswaba, where we travel from the Robins camp in hwange, spend a couple of nights at Ihaha, adventure to the Savuti Camps in the Chobe National Park.
Being the month of October, the bush is very dry, with scattered dams and little vegetation avalable for both browsers and grazers. In this episode we witness a very rare sighting, and yes, a sighting in the Savuti, as we get to share magic monemnts with the Savuti Marsh Pride.
Enjoy as Rhys and I explore more of the Botswana. It's an adventure as we pick up on day 11 of our 19 day overlanding adventure.

    Ryan, what a great adventure! It's always something to look forward to and well done on the bush fix on the electrics, perhaps a handy tool is to carry a multi-meter 😄Funny that I just watched this, on the 1 year anniversary of our trip to Botswana in July 2023 on the exact same route! Agree on the fully booked comment as we had the same experience at Ihaha where we were the only people in camp. You were truly blessed by the sightings both in Ihaha and Savuti! Elephant kills by lions are extremely rare to see.

    First of all, I need to congratulate you for the great content. I’ve been following you for years and the quality has improved drastically. Now, about Ihaha. This is kind of worrying. For some reason I never felt safe at Ihaha but it was just my instinct. The place feels too open. You seem to confirm that. So sad. Camping in NP is supposed to be safe. If this changes, we will not travel the same way. As you say, it’s not a cheap camp. I guess they would be interested only in valuables. Otherwise we will have to lock even our chairs at night. Very sad.

    Hi Ryan, Reece, unfortunately the comments around robbery is true at Ihaha. Some of them have been more severe as well. Lot has been spoken and reported on the 4x4 community group. It is really sad, as we want to enjoy the beauty of Botswana and Ihaha but then things like this happen. I do believe during peak periods they have guards roaming. Despite above an absolutely wonderful video. It is magical to see this through your lenses. It makes you want to do an overlanding trip. Exceptional videography and really enjoyed watching it
