- PLEASE NOTE! THE MAP FROM TWEE RIVIERIN TO NOSSOB AND MABUA SHOWN IN THE EPISODE IS THE INCORRECT ROUTE. PLEASE FOLLOW THE MAIN ROUTE IN THE NOSSOB RIVER. Google maps wouldn’t let me route on the main road thus the map is incorrect.
Any offensive comments that do not contain any constructive criticism will result in the removal of the comment and the user will be blocked from viewing the channel, come on guys LETS KEEP IT LEKKER!
For all the keyboard warriors that are going to say the reason we got stuck on the dunes is because we are towing trailers please refrain from even commenting. Whether we had trailers or not it all came down to tyre pressures which is explained in the video.

Wow!!! That lion part gave me constant goosebumps… this is next level … thank you so much for sharing this. This helps me a lot to come through the European winter!
Thank you so much for watching!
What an episode Ed. I missed a good one with you and EPIC Africa. Amazing lion sightings and an insane adventure. Thanks for sharing mate 👍
Thank you so much mate!
Ed gives me inspiration to go out camping overlanding and travelling my own country thanks my guy keep up the good work
Thanks mate!
I agree 100%
WOW Boet, that was one of the best videos that you've done - coming back home (from UK) in April to do a trip with my mate in the Limpopo region - can't wait.
Thank you so much John! Enjoy!
Wow wow, Ed, I would rate that as one of the best video's you have ever made ..... Well done
Thank you so much mate!
Never get tired of watching this episode. Incredible experience. Wow! And no doubt you slept with cameras for the rest of the trip. Thank you, Ed. PS had a laugh about the heated blanket. Classic!
Now that's a real adventure. Getting stuck and getting worried if you will ever pull though the sand. That is the Kgalagadi sand 4 U. Wonderful.
Thanks mate!
The very best episode I've seen. Your best content yet. Super jealous about the lion encounter. Keep it up
Thank you so much!
So tempted to watch this now after the snippets but have to reserve it for my weekend! Thanks Ed, keep them coming
Thanks mate!
Superb Brother and this episode looks next level and very good to watch Kalahari desert 🏜 flora and fauna
Thanks brother!
I'm watching this whilst planning my own trip to the Kgalagadi and Mabua for my matric vacation. Absolutely love your video!
Far out Ed, this is next of next level. Best birthday treat ever!! Thanks SO much.
Thank you Kinette! Happy birthday, I hope you had an amazing day!
Great one Ed, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you!
Absolutely amazing. I don't think any words could describe your night with the lions. So fortunate. Sorry about the tyre.
Too true, the experience of the lions in the camp versus the cost of a new tyre is a no brainer. Excellent épisode👍
Thanks Fergus!
Great to watch. Like that you do not just focus on the large animals and birds. Look forward to watching more.
Absolutely stunning, beautiful, awesome AFRICA. thank you Ed
Thank you Darrel!
was für ein grossartiges abenteuer- what a great adventure. we also had lions in our camp in savuti last week, but just crossing. your very lucky" for just the price of a tyre".😉 i love your videos taking me back to botswana each time. thanks a lot.
Fantastic video, I love the lion footage in the early morning at the camp!😳
Thanks mate!
Beautiful Place - Kalahari!
Thank you for sharing Ed!
Thank you mate!
Thanks Ed, you continue to whet our appetites for Bots, we have 6 nights at Mabua in our trip scheduled for October/November 2022, great entertainment as always
Thanks John! Enjoy
Thanks for sharing Ed .What a amazing experience ".You can loose a few tires for a experience like that. Nice to see the kids are also there to have the experience .
Thank you Sarel!
Omg. I know you will get many OMG's for this. But I am really envious of you, wish I was living in SA, to take up such journey. Can watch these lions all day long.
Cheers from India
Thank you so much Ashwin!
Ed i do not now how i mist this episode hair raising, next level lions in your camping area no room to move they just go on with their lives while you and Jason sit and play it out wow epic episode footage wow
Dankie Shaun!
Wow what an Experience Ed …. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures….. Can’t wait to get out there 👍👍
Thank you Kev!
Living vicariously through you Ed.
Thanks Muzi!
Phenomenal Edward!!! What an emotionally incredible experience with those beautiful lions so close by. There is something so magical about our ‘home’ and It’s so true ‘our hearts will always beat to the African drum’!!
Thank you so much mate!
Marvellous splendid excellent EB
Thank you Markus!
WOWZA!!! Fantastic episode Ed!!
Loved every second of it and cant wait for the rest of the episodes!!
Thank you bud!
The music accompanying the lion part clip makes it all the more powerful!
The growl of the male lion sounds like a V8 engine.
You can always make more money but you can't ever get the time back! The chances you get that experience again... quite against the odds there. And oh.... by the way, those kittens...... you guys are special, not everyone can handle that. True adventure, Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Wow , wow , wow , the lion’s in camp how wonderful. We just got back from Kruger National Park, we came from the USA, we have to thank you Ed , and all of you guys from the overland, you helped inspire us to go to South Africa.
Thank you so much Alison! The amazing comment means a lot!
Hello Ed, the 200 series is a beast! It cuts through thick sand with ease, handling all the load and pulling the trailer effortlessly.
49 minutes went by so fast! Amazing, epic, beautiful, & so well done! 💜
Thank you Laila!
29 minutes in to the film,,,the lion roar throgh studio monitors is absolutely awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video..awesome having those lions in camp
Thanks Robert!
Top quality Ed, makes me want to go back and I only just got back! Also ignore the haters bud, people love to have an opinion on shit they just don't understand. You're out there, exploring, adventuring, and working incredibly hard on this channel, if they don't get that, their loss.
Thank you so much bro! Yeah it’s a lot more work than some people think but it’s worth it 🙌
In that sand I always drop pressure to 1bar all round then just don't take corners to hard otherwise you roll the tyres of the rim. Another awesome video keep them coming.
Thanks Garry!
Another awesome experience Ed . I will be visiting Mabua in April 2022 for 8 days which i am excited about . Keep them coming ..
Thank you Greg! Enjoy, it’s an amazing place!
What a brilliant video. I know it's difficult but please please please include more shots of your offroading and some rolling shots. Getting stuck, unstuck, recovery. Basically more 4x4ing please...
Thanks! Haha yeah unfortunately it’s impossible without a camera crew but will try and improve 🙌
Wow, those lions!! It’s all about being in right place at the right time, if those dunes didn’t slow you down you could have missed it…. even though one tyre would have been saved, I’m sure that experience was one for the books and well worth it!Thanks Ed!
Thanks David! Yeah it’s was very very special!
Incredible. What an experience but the lions around the camp there kept me at the edge of my couch😂great staff Ed.
Thanks! Yeah it’s was quite the experience!
Wow!! This is just a different league of photography/videography. Been watching your overlanding trips and the footage just becomes better each time. Well done Edward. Really enjoy your channel.
Wow! Love the KTP! What an experience.
Thanks Tammy!
Magic episode and series, thoroughly enjoy your content, thank-you!
Thank you!
We are new subscribers to your channel. love your videos.
What an awesome episode!!! Well done mate.
Thanks Mate!
Ed - I thought we'd agreed that this was going to be a car maintenance channel?!
I see we are back to bloody lions, gemsbok, birds and bush again :-)
What an epic, next level treat to be held captive in camp by a pride of lions which must be a life-changing experience and will be a forever memory! (especially when you get the bill for that tyre hahaha!)
Great video mate, truly made my day.
Keep up the good work.
Haha sorry Paul, I will be back onto the car maintenance ones next week haha😉😂 thank you so much for the support and comment mate!
@@EdwardBath you could start with an oil and filter change on a warthog and build up from there hahaha
Front end bushes on a hyena, shock absorbers and springs on an elephant - this has never ending scope and you'd be 1st to do it.
Thank you for sharing! The intro hadn't even finished and I was back in the hot air, tires going on the sandy roads, that feeling of pulling into a new campsite for the first time. Goodness, I have some catching up to do - Excuse me whilst I spend the next few hours overlanding 🥰🏕️🦁
Thank you Inger!
@@EdwardBath That 26:53 moment.. Goodness I felt that deep! Absolutely stunning shots and choice of music, seriously well done Ed! You're not only sharing your life with us, you are sharing their story - our story. That look in their eyes, they just know that they are part of this web of connection on this planet, and we are a part of that too, not removed from it ❤️
Lekker episode...Another place I want to visit some day...
Thanks Jordan!
That is funny, I was just asking Edward to make this video, in the comments of his latest video. Nor realising he already made it lol. Sorry Ed, love it. I have been here once, 4 nights, 2 of which in the Botswana section. Way to short, and it is so great and unique. Keep up the great work.
Next level Ed,wow...
Thank you Les!
Amazing footage of an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing. I see the one Lion @ 27:50 had been in a confrontation with a Porcupine with some pegs still embedded in it's flesh on the lower jaw and breast.
I may not have a bakkie or be at an overlanding stage but coz of Ed, I’m definitely making camping intentional this year.
I enjoy camping but make so many excuses why I cannot go out there and just enjoy nature in Namibia.
Thanks Max!
This was something else Ed. What an amazing experience you encountered! Loved it bud.
Thank you Gerhard!
Wow very cool - South African watching all the way from Madrid Spain - we miss the bush so much man!
Thanks Richard!
AMAZING. Your posts have just got better and better - love it...we are heading in the same direction and will be there in 5 weeks time - cannot wait.
This is incredible Edward!! Wow!!! Well done.👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much Auntie Sheila!
WOW, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! Magic
Ed what an epic trip, how I miss Mabua. Thank you for sharing an amazing experience, truly appreciated!!!
Thank you Dirk!
Amazing Ed. Almost I think the best show ever. Simply sensational. Hope Cooper sponsored a new Tyre. You are the best.
Thanks David! Really appreciate it!
Awesome!!! Thanks Ed.
Thanks Mike!
Just watched this adventure again!!!! Amazing!
AWESOME Ed! What an amazing experience with the lions so close and for so long too! Wild camping at it's best. Thanks, Ed, for giving us this awesome moment. Next Level indeed! Sorry for your new tire though, but hey, not many can say, "A lion ate my tire!" You're now in an exclusive class Boet. Blessings.
Thanks as always Hendri!
Another stunning place in Africa
The sound track bruh wow it made the scene 💥👌
Great episode Ed! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Thanks mate!
Awesome and thanks!
Thank you!
Lions.. wow that's epic. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks!
32:05 they look like they're the ones on a self guided safari with the way they're just sitting there and watching you🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely epic Ed. Awesome episode! Thanks for sharing
Thank you mate!
Seeing those landscapes reminds me of back home in the Northern Cape, Small Town Called in Kuruman. It is also part of the Kgalagadi region.
This is a wonderful adventure. you inspire to travel. keep up with the videos. well shot and edited.
Thanks mate!
WOW what a treat. Great stuff Ed 👍🏽
Thanks mate!
I would love to go on vacation there with you all! 😊 if only if only the woodpecker sighs, the bark on the trees were as soft as the skies!
Documentary quality video,
great camera work too. We travelled with you - digitally!
Thank you so much Peter!
What an amazing experience
Great video as always
We going in June can not wait
Agree 100 percent inspiration
Thanks Dean!
Hey Ed, this is excellent videography and story-telling boet. Great stuff. I like your vellies, they seem quite soft, not like some wannabe Vellies being made here in EU for the urban explorers!
Thank you Ingo! Haha yeah they are great. 5 years old now and still going strong!
Hello Ed, here Marco again a very nice video from you. Very nice image, nice music and editing. Keep safe and till the next one.
Thank you Marco!
Omhat Ed, what an absolutely epic episode, my dream to be wild camping & have such an experience with lion’s!! Brilliant brilliant 🤩 🙌🏻

Liking your videos more and more...you're seriously loaded for lone ranger....we had -6 in Twee Rivieren on one of our trips.
I personally prefer to have my nearest and dearest with me on trips.
Thanks Seamus! Yeah unfortunately my wife doesn’t have the leave and I only pack enough for the time there. I don’t risk running out of fuel or food so take a little extra of those 🙌 always great to have family on a trip!

Great episode. I have done the trip with my wife. We spend 4 days in Mabuasehube at the Mpayathutlwa. Two days from Nossob (night at Matopi) one day back. We had lions at the camp in Mabua. Keep an eye on the bush!
This left me speechless. Many thanks.
