Thank you Nyiko - glad to hear that you enjoyed watching it. Keep an eye on the channel as I'll be posting the next episode this coming weekend. Take care...
Beautiful video, beautiful places. Wish I could go back. Haven't done the Magotlho area since 2017 but was in Xakanaxa last year, what a privilege to b in these areas. Can't wait for the Savuti episode.. 👌👌
Thanks Dru. You’re completely right about the privilege and beauty of the region. Savuti episode still to be edited - will be ready for next weekend. Keep an eye out. 😉
Thanks for the comment William - in terms of your question I hope I’m not misunderstanding - but this was a trip we did to Botswana. This particular video shows the section between Xakanaxa (Moremi game reserve) and Magotho (Khwai game reserve).
Magotho was probably one of our HIGHLIGHTS of our trip. We were there exactly the same time as you, maybe differ with a day or so. And BTW you should have done that river crossing😉 we done it about 6 times during our time there, will share some footage with you
It was a special place, I agree Rudi. Did you see the resident camp leopard at all? For me, the close proximity of elephants in the river day and night was so special. Good to know that the river was cross able - we suspected it was but none of us wanted to drown a vehicle. 🤣
You’re welcome Jan - thanks for watching. Appreciate that you took the time to comment - it really does make a difference to read the positive comments. 🙏
Hi Carl - we took a few jerry cans each, but we did in fact stop and refuel between Xakanaxa and Magotho just to be safe. If you're travelling from Xakanaxa to Magotho on the transit road, about three quarters of the way there, after crossing the Khwai river, is a little trading post called Afro Ville (it'll b eon your right hand side). Its essentially a spaza shop with a beautiful bougainvillea surrounded lapa - they will sell you jerry can refills of diesel or petrol. Not always guaranteed - in fact, we placed our order there, went through to Magotho, and then back tracked 2 days later to collect. You pay a slight premium, but definitely worth it for peace of mind.
Many thanks
Magic, Epic. Stunning video as always. Thanks Graeme and the team.

Awesome video! Which month were you there?
Thank you LR. We did this trip in the first half of April of this year, 2023. The water hadn’t quite reached the full delta yet - so very drive-able.
Hi. Where did you refuel?
