  • Our first Botswana adventure of 2023 has kicked off and we have an incredible trip planned.
    We will be visiting the following areas on this adventure:
    1. Khama Rhino Sanctuary;
    2. Kubu Island;
    3. Maun;
    4. Moremi - Xakanaka;
    5. Moremi - Third Bridge;
    6. Khwai - Magotho Campsite;
    7. Savuti;
    8. Chobe River;
    9. Hunter’s Road;
    10. Elephant sands.
    We will be joined by the team from Opposite Lock and Cgear
    www.cgear.co.za
    www.oppositelock.co.za
    Drone videography is just next level near the pans!!
    In this episode we wake up to magnificent views of Kubu Island and try our luck taking the Gweta Road to Maun through the Makgadgadi Pans and prepare for our first time visit in the Moremi Game Reserve. Can’t wait for our first Safari experience of this iconic location.
    Botswana is an absolute fantastic country to overland and Gunnland (Our 79 series Landcruiser) is right at home in the wild and untouched parts of Africa!!

    The narrator seems to be a very pleasant guy.....plays a huge role in us watching his series. I grew up in Limpopo and have been to Bots many times, but his pleasant way just describes an "I want to go again" picture! Keep it up mate, have a good one... Cheers!
