- 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.

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
For the first 4 minutes of this video, I was really worried that Reece was not there and then he suddenly appeared with the excitement of a true adventurer while Ryan bitched and moaned about the setting sun ... you two make a dynamic duo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mate the footage is Nat geo quality, and the banter gives me a chuckle. Just great all round.
Gotta love Reece, he’s a funny guy and a great camera man, EXCITING😂
This is truly an amazing adventure, Ryan you always get it right my man 💪, i enjoyed every second of this amazing episode. Reece my man, it's always good to see you along with Ryan, true legends 🙌
What an epic adventure! Can’t wait to see the next parts and the amazing Khwai!!
I love this channel... Stunning production and you make overlanding very realistic and practical with good reliable gear, nothing fancy or too much stuff.
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.
Great banter lads. Trip looked awesome
What a jol.. love it. Thanks..
Absolutely magic Ryan. This is why I bought the 76 series Landcruiser to go on adventures like this one. Thank you Ryan (also Ed and Christoff). Not to forget Reece.
So glad you got the time to edit and post at last 😅
Truly an OUTSTANDING episode. Ryan the footage you captured, truly captivating.
Reese, how you put up with your brother in law with a great sense of humour deserves a Bells or two!
No, truly you guys are awesome together 😊
Sad to see Zim go but Botswana has sure delivered both in sightings of the four legged variety and worryingly of the 2 legged... Glad it all worked out but did the Rangers do a few patrols that night or not? Or is it best left unsaid..
Cannot wait for the next one Ryan and Reese.
What a combination between you and Reece and your episodes are improving daily. I really enjoyed your last two episodes Hwange and this one... ❤
Nice one Ryan & Reece! You guys make a great team. Always look forward to your episodes and they never disappoint. The effort you put in, really shows from how professional your productions come out. Keep them coming boys!
Great video Ryan! You guys make it all so interesting and entertaining👍
Thanks Ian 🙌
Reece is a comedian 😂 so funny
The quality of your contents is out of this world. keep showing us and be safe out there.
Welcome back Ryan . And Reece .. two buggers with great humour 😂 ! Top class videography chap .. loved this new episode and happy to see the vehicle all sorted and moving through the bush as it was made to do ! Look forward to watching more of your adventures .. drive safe and go well . Cheers
Great episode. The footage at Marabou pan was chillingly good. We must have just missed each other there. We were there the first week of Oct 2023.
Can’t wait for the Khwai segment
Ryan, this is one of the best series you have filmed, the imagery and editing is second to none and I have enjoyed watching it immensely.
Absolutely world class production and content. Well done Ryan and Reece!
Chobe is magic. Blessed enough to have been twice. Lions, ellies, roan, buffalo, wow. But, it was the leopards. And we agree, no one should be walking in your camp, ever, unless they are wildlife. Windhoek, good beer!
Totally loved this Ryan. Well done man
Geez Ryan, really great footage shared, the end piece with the elephant kills was truly amazing, keep up the great work 👍🏼🇿🇦
Beautiful episode Ryan...
This channel should be at 100k subs
THE BEST 👌
The picture quality and colours are stunning ✨️💫this episode feels more like an authentic roadtrip👍👍
I enjoy watching your safaris I learn a lot thanks 👍
Loved it
Love it❤️❤️🔥
💖💖💖
Good Evening 😊 Awesome Video👌🏽 Finding Camp in The Dark 😉 Appreciate The Content and Your Time 🤗 Have a Fantastic Day 🙏🏽 Greetings From Limpopo Province , South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you for this channel Ryan. ❤
I’m actually saving up to get my own 4x4 before the end of this year. I’m hoping to go on my first overlanding trip next year March with my son🙏🏾
Nice one, Ryan!! Your camera work and editing is topnotch.
You two like Laurel and Hardy 😂
Bliksem Ryan.....flippen amazing, just wow..
Thanks for the share 👀🤙👍
Absolutely stunning viewing Ryan (& Reece), the scenery, adventure & sights & sounds of the whole of this area is beautiful. Well done to you both - we hope you're on the mend, that broken leg recently was terrible luck for you. ✌️🙏👌
How wonderful!!. On this episode you have been very lucky with lion on a kill sightings. How fortunate.The 'gods' of the wild were smiling at you there. Brilliant production and very entertaining.❤
Another awesome video they just get better and better.
great episode🎉
Thank you Josh
Great show. But that Reece is one good looking fella
Really enjoying your channel my friend! Very creative, polished, and you put a lot of work into it.
Thank you champ. Really appreciate the kind words 🤙
@@4x4ventures_southafrica you bet my friend. Well deserved!
Let's go!
Let’s goooooo! Thanks legend
Can't wait for the next episode. Please drop it a.s.a.p
Seeing that Savuti pride was so special. I bought that Joubert video when I was a guide in Pilanesberg in 1996. Good memories.
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.
Uitstekend
Ryan your explanation of time is well said. Senyati wow lekke camping spot. The elephant's at night sighting at the water hole next level. The Ranger is a beast. The lions sightings also flippen nice. Again magic of an episode cheers Ryan
Thank you Shaun. As always it’s really lekker to have your support bud
Great episode as always legend !
Amazing episode👏🏼any idea when the next one will be released?
It will be released when I’m back from a trip and it ready. Thank you for your patience
Excellent video! Very sad to hear about the potential thieves tracks on your camp. Also the stories of other thefts.
Yes, very sad but at this stage it is hit and miss with the people in camp at Ihaha. Glad you enjoy the episode 🤙
Helloooo Ryan
Beautiful filming. When was it filmed. Thank you.
Watch the beginning of the episode. Date is there
Got it, thank you.
Last year we abandoned our last night at ihaha because of suspicions movements and we where no longer comfortable. It was sad .
Again a really amazing episode
What was your average speed on the sandy sections with 4 high engaged
And your photography is absolutely just off the charts.
Thank you. Between 5km - 15km/hr
How about trying that solar light with cctv. You'll be able to get alerts
What oil do you use in your 2.2tdci?
This is really unaccessible. They won't harm but they definitely will take things from your camp...the experience could end up being really bad if you have ladies with you.
Out of curiosity... Do you guys carry a firearm for personal safety at all?
No firearms across borders, and we don’t carry firearms at all. We use air horns and pepper spray if confronted by people and or predators.
@@4x4ventures_southafrica wow thats actually kinda scary. I've always just assumed you had one just in case it gets a bit sketchy out there. Love the videos boet. Keep safe
