Overlanding Africa: Botswana | Ep 4 | Moremi Game Reserve - Xakanaka to Third Bridge
Making our way from Xakanaka to Third Bridge Campsite:
In this video, join us on a thrilling adventure as we travel through the awe-inspiring landscape of Botswana. Our journey takes us to the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve, where we explore the Xakanaka region and make our way to Third Bridge. You'll witness firsthand the sheer wonder of the African wilderness as we encounter magnificent wildlife and uncover the secrets of this enchanting land. You won't want to miss this incredible journey, so come along and explore the magic of Botswana with us!
Our overlanding kitted vehicles have handled every obstacle perfectly - and we still stand by our statement that the 79 series Land cruiser is the perfect exploration machine for the harsh African environment.
Totally impressed by the Jimny👌
We cannot speak highly enough of the capability of that small beast!!
That Jimny needs to be given a lot more credit please. Its fighting 😆😆
The Jimny wasn’t even struggling 😎
That fortuners center diff lock was not engaged unless its only a 2x4. Its amazing how the drivers who get stuck dont get out to hitch up the snatch strap. The Jimney is a beast. Moremi definitely on my next trip agenda but not in wet season.
Enjoying the Botswana series! the Suzuki Jimney is doing wonders
Thanks again for my mid week entertainment
Thank you for taking the time to watch bud!! 🫡
The Botswana Delta has so much to offer - Wildlife galore, ADVENTURE and scenery to boot! Very nice trip. Bring back fond memories! Thank you for sharing
Can’t wait to go back and spend a few weeks just in that area.. Thanks for watching and the support for our channel 😊
Fantastic. Thanks
What an adventure , amazing
Thanks bud!! Glad you are enjoying it with us!!
Land cruiser is boss of the jungle
I salute jimny all the way
Not a vehicle to be underestimated!!
Now this is the adventure we want to see not just the game and campsite. Thanks for the series and loving the videos. Weight Gents, Weight is the killer with the wet and muddy conditions .
Glad you enjoy it - we try be a little different 😊 True, and we load those 79s to the limit!!
For the power of Suzuki Jimny 3 Doors 7:26
Such a wonderful video - as always, I enjoyed every moment (the scenery, people, animals ...). I must confess, I 'laughed out loud' - and watched the following footage at least seven times: a. Checking in at Third Bridge (18:50 to 19:13) b. Explaining your 'amazing-amazing and super-adventurous day' - just about the entire convoy getting stuck in the mud. (19:38 to 19:58). Best 'YT-video Tour-Guide Couple' prize goes to ... Kenneth and Ti-Amore. Looking forward to experiencing 'Magotho, etc' with you (episode 5).
I love these videos , I'll be apart of the group one day ,keep pushing guys,you're doing an amazing job!❤love the moral support from your girl there😂😂
Weer stunning tussen die wilde diere en die wilde pad dit is ons Afrika. Waardeur dit rerig al’s wat julle met ons deel.
Dit is ‘n groot plesier!! Bly julle geniet dit en dat julle ons channel ondersteun
Pure De Graaf sound
Nothing beats a V8 with a De Graaf when it comes to noise haha
Am not surprised that the Jimmy didn't get stuck becouse it's very light, those Rigs are heavy. Love how animals are roaming around you as you pull each other out of the mud 😂.
Gives it a massive advantage!! It’s incredible - the wildlife element takes these trips to a whole new level!!
Great vid, nice to see more of the actual wildlife and also the struggles of getting through! Other channels never show any challenges. Jimny killing it again!
Thanks Paul!! We had a pretty high paced trip and with all the water wildlife sightings weren’t that abundant.. The journey this trip is the main focus but we did have incredible wildlife sightings in the Chobe area - coming soon 😊😊 Thanks for watching - appreciate the support on the channel
Jimney and driver... best combination by far !!!
For sure 🔥🔥🔥
There is nothing like Cruiser
Good things comes in small package the Jimmy has proofed itself as the witty king of the jungle adventure
Jimny welldone
Thanks for sharing another amazing adventure. Always makes my day brighter watching your videos!! 🙏💖💝💘

Go the Jimny! Good heavens what an awesome adventure guys cannot wait for more action

Such a great trip so far, super adventurous!! We are really enjoying following along. Has most certainly planted the seed for us to get started (baby steps) into over landing. Your approach to your footage is awesome. Thanks for sharing👏
Thumbs up 4 tha Jimny... nice adventure ❤
Today I am posting the comment before I watch the video because I just know it is going to be another fantastic one. So, thanks for another amazing video with stunning footage and excellent story. (If this comment is still here later, then you will know that I was right).
Steve - I always find it crazy that someone you haven’t met can give so much support and encouragement!! We really appreciate you and hope the video lives up to your comment 🤣
@@GunnlandExplores ah yes, the video lived up to and exceeded my expectations. I was right.
Geez man what an adventure … What time of year was this ? Are you guys going to “OPPIEPANNE “ . We are and then heading into Moremi and Chobe in the truck . Can’t wait . We’re also going to Magotho, so looking forward to your next vid 🙌👏
It was awesome bud!! Just last month, beginning of April.. Haven’t considered it, gonna do some research on it! Not gonna lie, anybody going to the Moremi makes me jealous from now on haha.. Ohh Magotho journey was hectic, we took some very off the beaten track roads haha..
So epic!
Dude it was insane 😎😎😎
My kind of adventure! Thanks for sharing guys: AWESOME!! 😎🍻
Glad you enjoyed it 😊😊😊
10:30 ❤❤get to hear the v8 roar wtih that De Graaf exhaust system 🔥🔥and at 10:57 the v6 pops❤🔥🔥
We all love that sound haha the second cruiser you are talking about was a 4.5efi 🔥
@@GunnlandExplores yep really loved those pops🔥❤️😎
What an epic episode wow love the content julle is nice uitgerig daai Cruiser epic thanks for sharing
Thanks Shaun!! Lekker om dit met jou te kan deel!
Im in love with the Sizuki jimny
This looks like such an epic adventure.. One of these years we will also go explore Bots a bit more. :-).
Wonderful staff. I’m a native motswana and only get to see such places through your camera lens. Thank you for taking us with. Just a question though; Every-time you run the winches it seems like they hav to b plugged to the battery or am I mistaken? And if that’s the case, why aren’t they permanently wired to the batteries.?
Wow amazing...❤
Thanks 😊😊 Appreciate it!!!
Duuuuude... Another awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching bud!! 😊😊
Great, will you be driving all the way to East Africa?
Good adventure keep it up guys I m in zimbabwe
Awesome soos altyd. Jimny Power!
Thanks Jurgens!! Daai klein boetie loop!!
🇱🇸🇱🇸
👌👌
Love all your episodes, and as a Jimny driver this episode gave me a lot of satisfaction =D Dankie vir die great escapes wat julle met ons deel, dit maak my opgewonde om soortgelyke trips te doen. PS: Do you know if the Jimny has a long range rank? I don't see jerry cans on it, and wondering how to go about the 40L tank...
Thanks Francois!! A jimny is incredible! This Jimny did have an auxiliary fuel tank giving it a total of 80l which was enough on this trip to not need extra jerry cans 😊😊
Thanks for the awesome videos Love it
Thanks so much!! Really amazing that you are enjoying the content
Jimny wow
Wow Jimmy did it better than Fortuner and Amarok😅 unbelievable
JIMNY!
It goes everywhere!!!
did that little jimny ever get bogged down ,amazing
Never, not once!! It just goes and goes and goes…
This is beautiful brother. I really need to start working on getting out there.🥲. The cruiser makes it a whole lot fun
Wow, what an adventure. Only downside for you is not getting more days to enjoy Moremi. I like the Part the most that you are busy getting someone unstuck and in the background an elephant casually walks by. That says it all for Moremi.
This trip was a very high paced one with lots of ground to cover.. We will definitely be back in the Moremi soon and stay there for at least 10 days!! We know there is incredible wildlife to encounter.. That moment is what Botswana is all about - you are so close with nature it’s incredible!! Thanks for watching 😊😊
@@GunnlandExplores Thanks for sharing, maybe I will encounter you one day
U guys had a real wonderful adventure. Being stuck and scared in the middle of nowhere is quite some experience. I see travelling as a team with several cars is best, so that U pull others out when they're stuck. Adrenaline pumping experience.
Ek dink dis goed as ek sê dat die cruiser en jimny broers is...but anyways baie dankie yet again for another epic adventure
Verseker!! Thanks vir die positive vibes en dat julle saam ons toer 😊
Awesome episode. Greetings from a Saffa in Aus.
Thanks Charles!! Awesome having you watching!! Can’t wait to visit Aus!!
Die delta bly darem maar net n magic plek !
Kyk ek voel ek kan sommer 3 keer na mekaar so trip doen!!
Lekkerste!!!!!!
😊😊
They could’ve used a spoon directly on the starter, granted if they could get underneath.
Sound on for the V8😮💨😮💨😮💨
V8 sound is just next level 🔥
Awesome trip! I saw your Botswana video as well. A friend in SA told me they have some legit Overlanding there. I agree! Is that Toyota SUV 2 wheel drive? At 6:12 it seems to be turning rear wheels only. I’ll need to join you all on one of my trips out there!!
Thank you very much for this most wonderful and very beautiful adventure. I wish you good luck always. I want to know the name of the song please.
Glad you enjoyed it with us 😊 songs name is: la la let me be free
Huge shout-out to the small under rated Suzuki that didn't get stuck 😂
Beast of a vehicle that!!
Great video, what time of the where you there?
😊 10:32 💪🏻
Gotta make some noise 😎
Excellent video, many thanks for posting. I did a two week self drive camping safari in Namibia in October and I'd love to visit Botswana in 2024-5. Who did you rent the Land Cruiser from? Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks Damian!! You should definitely visit Botswana - it is absolutely amazing! We didn’t rent, these are our personal rigs.. Look into Chobe4x4 for rental options 😊
Vote 4 d jimny..🎉 Who's with me
Was the fortuner in 4wd when it got stuck?😅😅😮
The Fortuner was a 4x2 😂 But it really did incredible on this trip
aah, the update is awesome. THX. Julle winches hou nog, wat se maak is dit??
Ek gebruik ‘n Tungsten 12000lbs winch met synthetic rope - baie goeie waarde vir geld voel ek - kry hulle deur Opposite Lock 😊😊
Jimny is impressive , daai Fortuner is nie 'n 4x4 nie.
Baie impressive!! Nee dit was ‘n 4x2, kan nogsteeds nie glo hoe goed hy gedoen het nie!! 😊
Wow. Thats a great video. Which month is this?
Thanks for watching!! This was Early April this year 😊
Is die Fortuner 4x4 ?
Nope the Fortuner was 4x2 - definitely not ideal but we were many vehicles so we could assist when needed 😊
What time of year?
This was beginning of April this year
Nice one - such a cool place that. We were there early April too - must have passed you guys along the route somewhere. We went the other way though - from 3rd Bridge to Xakanaxa. Then Magotho, Savuti and Chobe.
That was pretty much our trip as well! Just wishing we could go back!!
KAK VIDEO, RERIG
Ag dankie grootseun 🤣
