- Overlanding South Africa, The Wild Side of the Limpopo, Ep.1
In this 2 part series I travel with @OverlandingEscape, (our newly created CZcams channel), to the Limpopo, South Africa, where we overland travel, and I find out if there is a wild side to South Africa's reserves in the Limpopo province. This is a series not to be missed.
What an overlanding adventure in South Africa. We visit epic places, with good friends.

Thanks, and much appreciated 🤙
Great tips, thanks.
Please organise a meet and greet for your fans in Botswana.my mum and I love your show we enjoy seeing the beauty our country Botswana through your lens.having visited the pans a number of times I get a flood of emotions when watching your visit to Kubu island in the Makgadikgadi Pans the drive through to the pans the challenging but fun terrain of dust and sand how it makes the adventure out of this world.🥺🥰. Keep up the good work guys.cheers!
Hi guys... You guys are awesome. I smell the coffee. Magic program and pics are making memories. My feet are itching to visit the Kruger. Going in Jan 2022.
Thank you Bazil. Hope you are well and good. Thank you for your support 🙏
Ryan....nice meeting you at Maroela camp in the Kruger Park
Awesome trip and episode, looking forward to the next ones!
Thanks mate 🤙
Best 54 mins l have spent so far this week, never been so excited when l got that notification.
You are such a legend and very kind. Glad you enjoyed it and the next one is even better. Dropping real soon so keep an eye out for it. Keep well mate
@@4x4ventures_southafrica l have been sitting here for months waiting patiently wondering what happened to you. Then boom just like that, you drop dropped 54mins of pure gold. I'm currently in the UK, the landscape and those bird songs at the Campsites invoke a lot of childhood memories and it makes me so homesick....lol. So you know, time taken to edit and produce those visuals is much appreciated here.
Thank you kind sir and glad I can make you home sick. Its a good thing bud and will Co tinge to replace deliver gold. Good things come to those that wait, great things come to those with patience. Chat soon mate and enjoy the summer coming 🤙
Very very nice, this Trip make my day.... thx and greatings from Germany
You're welcome, and happy to hear it. Greeting from South Africa. Keep well and stay safe
The very Best
Thank you Kathy. It was a great great trip. See you at the next one 👍
Wow Ran i mist this episode krimetart bome the close up of the ellie drinking water Ryan Epic
Thanks Shaun. Glad you enjoyed mate. I have the urge to adventure now 🤣 Rgds Ryan
@@4x4ventures_southafrica I know that feeling busy to kid my 2.2 Ranger for off grit / over landing i learn so mush from you , Christoff ,Edward Rolan keep it up Ryan
Yea, wouldn't mind to join on the next one. Very cool.
absolutely beautiful. I'm looking forward to the next ones
What a great Video >> we are planning this route for a Pensioners Trip Wife and I and maybe another like minded couple >> Matamba and Blouberg and Mapungubwe and then Punda Maria in Kruger for 2 weeks in Kruger to end off
You will enjoy, and now with all the rains the Bush just looks at its best. I can definitely recommend your planned travels. Enjoy it, be safe and have an adventure. My only advice will be to keep a keen eye for POTHOLES. They are strewn across Limpopos roads like land mines. Enjoy, and thank you for your support
What an incredible episode mate!!!! Just magic! Production level,grade and music is next level! Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey 🙏
Thank you mate. It goes without saying that I CAN NOT wait for the next one. Excellent times bud and what a privilege
Wow! What an adventure! Great footage of the various animals and beautiful places that you vissited.
Nice 4 wheel drives.....
Thank you
Thanks for sharing - great to revisit Mapungubwe. We were there 4 years ago with lions roaring all night. Awesome spot - feels like Botswana camping.
Amazing overlanding South Africa.
Would be a dream trip to join you guys…
nice content.....come to Zimbabwe again and do Mana Pools.Its wild wild
Just fine it Blessing, and YES, it is very very wild. Wildlife numbers however are not looking too good.
Mapungubwe is such an underrated gem in our opinion & we visit often either on route to & from Botswana or as long weekend getaways. We love the West of the park & Maloutswa Hide is incredible! The area around the camping & tents reminds me of Mana Pools. Pity you guys didn't do the off road 4x4 route - it's totally epic & a lot of fun to do!
Gavin & I are absolutely loving the videos from all of you guys! We are about to buy a Conqueror Comfort Platinum & learning SO much from you guys about camping do"s & don'ts all much needed as we have always been chalet dwellers so the info is invaluable!
Ps: I love the food & recipes you guy's do too!👌🏻
Hey Dee and Gav, awesome to hear from you guys and yes, this was an absolute gem of a surprise for Ed and myself. It was our first time visiting this magnificent place. Wow, a place I have to go back to for sure. Yes, we were keen to do it, but alas, the ranger wasn't well, and only getting sorted now. Next time.
Glad you guys are enjoying our shows, and I know that the other chaps and I appreciate your support. May your conqueror bring you many great adventures, and remember, don't stress the small stuff in setup and tear down. Stop, look around and realise your moments in the places you visit. Keep well, stay in touch and we'll hopefully see you guys out there. Cheers Ryan
Man! The videography is so spectacular! This is a true adventure! Thanks for taking us along.
No worries. Thanks mate
1st time seeing Chris without a hat on. Always thought he was hiding a bless 😄
amazing footage and well documented. can't wait for he next one
Thank you Collin. Coming soon 🤙
Great video as always. Would be great if you could do another fans gathering/camp, and discuss and show the fan’s rigs and their clever camp mods etc.
Mapangubwe can get 48 in February
Definitely insane heat there
Great video. This is definitely something I would love to join
Thanks for bringing us along. Truly enjoy this video.
My pleasure and glad you enjoyed it 🤙
Awesome channel guys
Thanks mate 🤙
Really enjoyed this. I've not been to Mapungubwe, so this has convinced me I need to go there. It's a long way from Cape Town, but certainly looks worth the trip. Thanks guys.
It’s worth spending an hour watching these videos. So well made with narration, cinematography and background music coupled with editing ✔️ ❤️ wish to make this trip in my lifetime
Hey Gents, I am super glad I came across this channel. Just finished the first episode and really enjoyed it. Great editing. The only thing I must say is the music between the talking is very loud and much louder than the talking so have to keep turning the TV volume down. Keen to watch the rest. Thanks for the videos gents.
Thank you Michael. Great feedback and just know that I am trying to create shows for viewing. Your input is invaluable, and the next ones coming soon will be resolved. Thanks for your support mate 👍
We spent a week there in December after not being able to get through Beitbridge to Gonarezhou.
Loved it. Drove all those roads with my daughter following in her Jimny. Priceless memories!
Absolutely, a great surprise for me and will be back. Gonarezhou is on my list. Heard it is very scenic
This was an amazing episode..loved every bit of it,so looking forward to the next one.great stuff guys.
Thank you bud, glad to hear it 🤙
Ryan your videos make me feel that I am there with you exploring South Africa it is so realistic. I love your work brother. I am from India some day God willing I will visit South Africa.
Awesome contents as we've become accustomed to with your channel. Keep us dreaming....🤙🤙🤙
Thank you mate, much appreciated
What an epic ride. Super episode! Can't wait for the next episode. This is soooo much better than anything on South African tv. Keep up the good work and keep traveling. OUTSTANDING.
Thank you Werner. Much appreciated mate and glad you are enjoying the adventures. Next episode is going to be massive. Thank you bud for the awesome awesome comment. Truly humbling and keeps us going 🤙
Really liked watching u guys specially seeing what u can do in the country
Thank you Michael. So much to do, so little time and always chasing budgets. Appreciated bud
The music used here is quite epic! Great video (so far) and I’m only still on the 2nd minute 🤙🏽
Awesome watching you guys Ryan, would be awesome to meet you guys, but in our back yard, Gonarezhou National Park Zimbabwe. Happy camping 👍😁
Hey Chris, thanks for that. Planning on Zim trip for end of April, beginning of May. Just hoping Zim borders will open. Fingers crossed that we meet up.
@@4x4ventures_southafrica awesome, where u planning to visit in Zim
15 day trip. Motopos, Hwange, Mana Pools, Save Conservancy, Ganarezhou. Something like that.
@@4x4ventures_southafrica lakker, would like meet up with u guys if you coming gonarezhou way.
Stunning vid guys.....keep up the good work...cant wait for the next one!
Thank you. Next one in edit suite
Magic Video 🇿🇦💪..You Guys are Great ..Hopefull für Episode 3 ..Greets from Germany
Thank you 🇩🇪 much appreciated and the kind words. Greetings from South Africa and episode 2 coming soon 🤙
Cant wait to watch this over the weekend
Enjoy it bud. Next one, episode 2 dropping in the new week.
Great video. Note: The Blouberg Nature Reserve is 9340ha and not 93 000ha as mentioned in the video.
Thanks
Yes, sorry about that. Thank you for the correction 🙌
This is an awesome video looks like it belongs in a movie 👌
Thank you Allen. Kind words mate and very much appreciated 👍
You people are really fantastic and great content. I have nearly watched all your upload..
Thank you and glad you are enjoying the content, and most importantly our adventures. Keep supporting and I will keep it going 🤙
Another great video worth the wait.
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the comment mate 🤙
I'm back guys!!!! Hectic view months, moved to the Western Cape from Polokwane 😃 What an improvement!!! Will ALWAYS miss the bushveld but hey, follow your dreams ne 😆 Love you guys 👍👌✌🐺🐾
Thanks Herbert, and glad things are getting better. Keep following and make it happen. Thanks for your support and comment. Much appreciated. Keep well and keep enjoying. We'll bring you the bushveld 🤙
This is TOO GOOD!! Thanks for bringing us on your journey!!! You are an inspiration to me to get my own rig build going!! Keep going!
Thank you legend, and good luck with your rig build. Its fun, costly and your better half might not talk to you for a while, but, the satisfaction levels are great.
We only had one night at Matamba a few years ago as we were headed to Botswana, but we still remember Alan as a great guy who had put together a fantastic camp. Plus, waking up with a giraffe peeking into our tent is a pretty special memory!
Hey Eric and Ash, yes, Matamba is great but what makes it a fantastic place is the family that runs it. Sue and Alan have many many great overlanding stories and destinations, and their son Mark, has become a good friend to us. What a great little spot, and one we will continually support. Magic. Keep well and stay safe. Rgds Ryan
@@4x4ventures_southafrica For sure! They're a super family. And Sue made a lasagna for us that still gets discussed around our house 2 years later 😂
Awesome as usual Ryan. I'm even more sorry now that I had to cancel the Matamba trip last year. Looking forward to the next one though...
Thank you mate. We'll see you then and there, and look forward to it 🤙
Thanks Ryan nice to watch.we got our firts comander ever will be our first caravan camp at Setara.
Like your program.wil let you know how it
Was.
Keep well
Thank you Johann. Enjoy it mate and the commander, and thank you for the comment. Satara is a busy camp, but absolute magic. Don't forget to hit S100 early morning and late evening. This is a road I recently marked as an absolute gem. You'll see it in the next episode dropping next week.
Luv yo adventures and thanks for showing off what African Tourism has to offer. I enjoy the videos man. I would love for you to show us the snakes in your videos besides the other animals.
The other thing I’ve noted is the poor conditions of the roads just wondering why the governments of the different countries you’ve visited invest in that?
I would surely like to join when you have the next meet up. Great episode.
Thanks mate, we'll keep you posted on the next trip. Look forward to it 🤙
Great stuff!!! I would love to join the next trip...
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I also want to join the next trip
I subscribe all the 4 channels, each gives a different feel of the same trip, well done guys.
Thanks Mike, and glad to have your support across all channels. Yes, allot of work to make each episode unique and have its own flavour. Good to hear that you enjoy them and our adventures. Keep well mate
This video has made me buy a tent and plan my first camp trip. Great work 😁
Excellent, enjoy the adventure
awesome video , you guys missed all the big rain in Mapungubwe. we were neighbors for a few days haha. with the limpopo coming down there was a lot of damage to the infrastructure of the park. the skywalk will not open soon again
I believe so, unfortunately I couldn't make the "chasing the rains" trip with Ed and Chris. Heard about the sky walk, such a pity, but really amazing to get all this rain. Keep well and glad you enjoyed the episode. We'll see you out there 🤙
Scorpion, big pinchers, little sting. Small pinches, BIG sting.
That "little" sting is relative. Been stung on the upper back, between the shoulder blades while doing some underbody repairs to a vehicle. Friends laughed soooo much, didn't realise I could "leopard crawl" so fast on my back!
Yes, be wary of scorpions. Small pincers, big tail, can lead you in hospital with big problems.
This what South Africa should be known for!
100% mate, now you talking 🤙
Years ago I was supposed to go to SA for the sardine run and it was to include a trip to the Bush because the fish never keep a scudule.
Something came up and I didn't make it :(
A few years later my step-daughter wanted to go but then she had health issues.
SA is well known among divers
@@raymondclark1785 damn that's sad bro, really wish you could come here, a lot for diverse weather's and many breathtaking landmarks and sights to behold bro. All the best man hope to hear good news sooner or later.
Correct Ed Mapunggubwe looks very similar to Mana Pools where we visit often
Yes, however, on the Western side specifically. Try book at Mazhou campsite. This campsite is really something special and, very wild.
Awesome footage. I'm hooked
Awesome 👌 Job done. Glad you enjoyed it 🤙
Sign me up for the next one.
Really great video!! Looks like you guys had a great time!!
Thank you. Always a great time on any adventure, especially wild ones
I would love to be part of this, very lovely
This is really great. Going to try out these sites. Doing my first camping this weekend (luxury camping because it is my first time and I drive an H-1 which would struggle a bit on hectic tracks).
Goodluck, and enjoy the adventure mate. Special places and with all this rain, the ecosystems have never looked so good. 🤙
Hi Ryan, awesome episode. Excellent videography skills.
Thank you legend 🙌
Your intro soundtrack- awesome 👏
Thank you Deresh. Definitely going to keep this one for a while, the song that is. The intro will change with time. Hope you enjoy it mate 🙌
@@4x4ventures_southafrica thanks man
Great content.
Thank you mate. Glad you appreciate our efforts. Looking forward to the next one 🤙
Hey guys, been following your vids for some time now... Keep up the great work!
Perhaps a suggestion; please do a vid on your specific vehicles, pros/cons, spares you take along on your trips, issues you've had, advice for guys with similar vehicles wanting to do these trips etc etc.
In the makings. Thank you for the feedback and comments. Much appreciated 🤙
You guys are having a lekker time out there. I always go alone because I'm ain't rich. I can't really afford those 5 days bookings and fancy cameras and drones and all that. I love exploring the world. Botswana 🇧🇼, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Lesotho, eastern cape, Tzaneen, limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal. Enjoy mates. Maybe we'll bump onto each other one of the good days
Yes, always nice to adventure. None of us are rich mate, remember that we got the gear to create content for you, for mahala. We are lucky to have some sponsors on board, but we work hard and pay for 95% of our trips and vehicles out of our own pockets. Go subscribe on patreon and support me with donations. Thanks mate. See you out there
Brilliant man, keep up the good work!!
Thanks Tim. Glad you enjoyed it bud 🤙
Nothing beats the sound of hyenas at night and the other sounds.
Liked the video so much❤can you please make a video for the best overlanding vehicles for South Africans😀
Can't wait to watch more of your channel
Thank you. Don't know if there is a vehicle that is the best. Maybe some are better than others. Also depends on setup, functionality, purpose. We'll see what we can do.
@@4x4ventures_southafrica thank you for replying back so soon, it would be a great video idea😀❤
Jump on to patreon and support me there. Would be happy to create episode specifics if I can save up enough donations. Thanks mate 🤙
Excellent content guys! Would love to join on one of your trips in the future!!
Thanks man, keep an eye out for the next overlanding escape camping weekend. On instagram and facebook
Well done Ryan! I know this is a huge amount of work!
🙌🙌🙌 yhanks Henk, much appreciated, and from one creator to another, yes, it is allot of hard work. Thank you for your support and I'll see you at the next one mate 👍
@@4x4ventures_southafrica Definately!
I grew up on denstaat
So sad it’s not part of mapanggubwe
Man, only you have that skill to keep me glued to the screen for an hour 😂. Bummed I couldn't make it to the meet up, but hopefully I can on the next one. This looks like it was an amazing journey for you guys. Stay safe bud 😁😎🤙
Thank you J. Yes, you have to make it up for the next one. Glad you enjoyed it and the next one is dropping real soon. Thanks for your support and yes, you too, stay safe mate 🤙
Fantastic. How come you have never come up in my suggestions before...
Thank you. Have no idea why? SUBSCRIBE and all that good stuff @4x4ventures not to miss out
Discovered your channel today - enjoyed the video a lot - and subscribed!
Thanks Tony. Good to have you on board and keep posted for the next adventure
@@4x4ventures_southafrica Looking forward to it!
The videos that you, Edward and Christoff put out are amazing. Not just entertaining but so useful and informative. I have explored southern Kruger and was just in awe of everything and your videos help me to dream of new adventures when I next visit South Africa. I am a New Zealander currently in the UK but stayed at River Hill Lodge in Komatipoort last month which is a fantastic Lodge with great owners and staff. I have a question, what do you guys do for your day jobs?
Loved this
Thank you 🙌
I've always been hooked on the Botswana 🇧🇼 videos since I'm from Botswana, but this was definitely worth the watch Ryan. Loved it!!! What's that soundtrack at 40:00?
Wow!! Absolutely next level Ryan. Great video graph nd great scenery. Yes please continue doing those meet ups with your subscribers. Would love to spend some time with you guys around the fire along the Khwai River soon..
Thank you, and can't wait for that fire. Looking forward to the next one and hope to see you there. Thank you for the support. Keep posted, part 2 dropping soon
Pleasure. Wil make sure of dat fire appointment. Can't wait for part 2. Keep doing what you doing. Traveling through you man. Moremi is currently closed coz of the flooding so not traveling for me.. 🙁
Thanks mate and will do. Yeh I can imagine Moremi is flooded, and the water is only coming from Angola this month right? Missing Moremi big time mate. Enjoy and chat soon 🤙
Doesn't look like there is much inflow from Angola this year. It seems to be from the January - February rains around the Delta area..
It's gonna come mate. Going to be a very full swampy winter I reckon. Wither way, the water is always a god send. Pula mate, pula
Would like to join you guys as well on one of your camps
Hi Ryan, Chris & Ed. Please advice on the camera and additional equipment I need to shoot videos and pics on safari. What do u guys use, your videos are top notch.
I so wanna do this off road in Namibia/Kgalagadi/Kalahari tho, but nobody in my circle is into this and I don't have a 4x4 😂
Bucket list nonetheless >>>> 👌
That's why we here, to show the above adventures. Bucket lists are where it starts. We'll see you out there
You guys missed RATHO Bushcamps. Maybe next time????
Hi, yes, we had RATHO on the list, but decided it didn't fit the itinerary. Definitely next time
You just passed Molepolole I wish I could greet you
Awesome mate. We went to Khutse for 4 nights. You should have met us at the Shell garage. We were there for a while. Thanks for reaching out.
You can but absolutely fantastic steak at spar Musina
Really
What size tyres on the Ranger? Love the cinematography
Thank you. I've mentioned size of tyres in previous episodes quite a few times . . . 285/75/16s 18mm positive offset on rims. 32.6 inch
