ROAMS01E33 Escaping A Kalahari Dust Storm While Offroad In My Jimny (2019)
In this, the third episode of the Botswana series, I continue my solo journey into the the Central Kalahari; where I share intimate game viewing experiences and bake my own bread. But the next days plans get cut short as I need to turn tails and run away from a massive impending dust storm!
With no guaranteed place to sleep, I hold thumbs that everything works out.

Mate... Exactly what I was thinking haha. Step one - Get a Jimny :D (The easy part haha)
this is me :)
Your camera work and your way of telling stories is amazing. Best wishes from Germany
Klose ?Ollie Bollie from Canón lodge?
Jerome Bassingthwaighte No, my friend, í‘m living in Germany, nearby Düsseldorf
Suzuki created a off-roading legend I love jimny
With 1.5L engine?
@@riturajdas6112 lol
copy of jeep😂😁😂
@@riturajdas6112 In the markets it's sold people don't want anything bigger, nor more complicated. That said, the car is overpriced by about 20% for what it is.
@@riturajdas6112 amazing right? A 1.5L engine can off-road
You’ve got some faith in that little jimmy. Awesome car. You’re the reason I’m buying one thanks.
It is sponsored 😆
@@riturajdas6112 u sure about that?
@@visibleconfusion9513 No, I just feel so.
He sold jimny
@@riturajdas6112 Yes but the Jimny is a bloody brilliant car. We'll have it in by October next year if Maruti doesn't fuck things up again.
Came here for the suziki, stayed for the cinematography. Great video
Thats so awesome 👌🏻
.....who needs billions of $$,...if you can enjoy this simple life with a dependable tough off-roader like this...money cannot by this happiness,...what a lucky guy you are....
You are bang on the money bud! I want to see if I can do a budget build sometime and see how much you really need to have a classic overland vehicle 👌🏻
You nailed it bro. Happiness is not about being rich. It's about being creative.
When is this guy working?
Not billions but still need around £50k for this car with this setup. Then some free time, also money. Money + Free time doesn't`always come together but depends what you do I suppose.
Exactly
Camping outside in the middle of the road Lions: am i a joke to you
as a 2019 jimny user, i got to tell you guys...this car is badass af
im in america i want one so bad. BUT i have a 2014 4runner limited 4x4 so im ok. but could use the jimnys mpg. lol
@@mrpink3630 i dont know that jimny is banned on europe
is it better tham land rover defender?(old) Or suzuki jimny 2019? For offroad in basic configuration.
just got a 2020 and loving it ...went from a speedy mini cooper S to the Jimny and no regrets
With the 1.5L engine?
God has blessed only you 😍 this is fantastic and you a living a life like how u want best wishes from INDIA 🇮🇳❤♥
love that tiny car and the roof tent system~~ thank you!
What an adventure! I remember my first time in Morocco with the old Jimny, doesn’t get any better. Congratulations
even in 2024, this video is a GEM!
There are many takeaways from this amazing video, but I have to say, the bread came out amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, you were alone then; you're not alone now.
Man I wish they sold this in Canada. That's a sweet set up.
Love the colors and the design build on this thing. See more and more of them in Iceland now.
Well done to brave that alone. Thank you for being honest about how you feel after attempting certain things, often the looks and reality of how it feels are worlds apart.
LOL, honest? You really think he is alone?
Just watched your episodes and one thing came to mind, you living my dream....Enjoy it!! Excellent!!
ジムニーを「本当に使ってる」映像を初めて見た気がする。
This is the 1st video I watched. And I must say, I'm impressed with your production. Subscribed!
There's some beauty in going the distance with minimum resources and pushing yourself! It really is awesome!! It makes you trust in yourself and makes you value everything and everyone you have!
Awesome genuine vid with emotion to it! I have recently moved to Europe from NZ and have been contemplating buying a 4x4 and just driving to Mongolia/Georgia etc and where ever the road takes me, thanks for the Inspiration.
My heart longing for a Jimny... Total love..!
That guy got some stories to tell
thankyou so much for the amazing adventure with your JIMNY bro
Привет из Санкт-Петербурга! Отличное путешествие!
Great channel! Awesome footage and editing skills, well done! Im looking forward to what is to come!
Central Kalahari still on my wish list, fantastic series in a fantastic car
I have to admit, your videos have got me to think about getting a Jimny. Keep up the cool stuff, i really appreciate you taking us with you 👍😃
A truly excellent , interesting absorbing episode , im truly jealous , you are a very lucky man indeed
Love the set up! the new Jimny has a lot of potential. Great video
Loved camping in the Central Kalahari back in 1993, it seems the facilities have been upgraded, happy times in a Hilux, but never got round to making bread.
It was not an adventure, it was running from it. It is good to run away for a new start rather than trying to be a hero and getting lost in futile adventures. Good Job
A true off roader just requires a heart. Period!! Rest are all secondary
it was my moms dream to see what you see snd experience may god protect you on your travels
system tent 4:44 is just incredible, lovely water system looks very useful. what a car and trip.. love to watch more !
Botswana Tourism owes you a huge thank you...
Our pleasure!
This is fantastic mind blowing experience i am also crazie about it..... stay my determination shows a good pathway for achieve it
That's the best kind of life,travel & enjoy.
It just keeps getting better man!! Love the work! Keep it up
Best episode yet. Incredible.
Just one word... Epic! Thanks for the awesome content! Keep it up
Who is still watching this episode
Mr Gemsbok at 10:13 is absolutely majestic. Great work.
Because the wind was blowing so much he couldn’t smell me and my car, So I had a good 5-10minute of him standing and trying to figure out what I was! 😂 but he was a real beaut!
Inspiring! You just went for it, unlike most people who make excuses, and lived out your dream! Well done.
They just keep getting better 🤩
Great video, enjoying your series of the Jimny i love so...
Great quality! Congrats! Waiting for the next episode.
Wowwwwwwwww!! I got goosebumps all the way.. Thanks for sharing your awesome experience.
Looks totally idyllic my friend. Your home-baked bread looked delicious too considering your kitchen situation. As a new subscriber I'm looking forward to following your adventures. Stay safe and have fun. 👍😎👍
"It's about how you deal with the problems that really makes life exiting" - I couldn't agree more. :-)
Truly inspiring, what a journey .
You r gonna hit the stars 😅 Keep updates warm from the middle of know where places 😍😄
really impressive! what a wonderful experience! your Jimmny is so cool!!!
Great to look at your Jimny...Reliable and I am so into it now...😍
This is Epic. I was doing my trips in a little campervan but I'm certain a Jimny is the next vehicle.
Impressed with your words the way you put in makes it more realistic. watching from India.
Ur videos has that rawness that i look for when going out in the nature.. Coz nature is beautiful but it demands respect else there is nothing that would save u. Its amazing how real ur videos are. And i love the jimny. Waiting for it to launch in India hopefully soon
It is finally launched.
@@e-nvy yeah it is🙂
I love your content, it’s so genuine and real - thanks for sharing and inspiring.
❤️❤️
Hi, great great video. Loving the series 👍👌 Keep up the awesome work.
Gracias por sacarnos a conocer estas partes del mundo, le pongo tus videos a mis hijos por la aventura ! saludos y felicitaciones por tu canal desde México.
Great video! Botswana is a wonderful place with it's own surprises from time to time! Your vehicle and it's setup made it a very nice overlander - well done. Looking forward to your next video on the Makgadikgadi pans!
Oh damn! The next episode should be a real beaut! I can’t wait to start working on it 👍🏻
This is how a Jimny is meant to be moved! Hell yeah! :D
This was such a cool trip to take the jimny on. Suzuki should use this video to advertise the coolness of the trooper of a truck. Respect, man.
Dude.. that was an amazing video!! Keep up the explorations.. Subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻
Another awesome episode. Loving your work Boet. Inspiring stuff
Hope all is good is there a way how i can ask you some questions about the jimny because I'm strugeling to sort it out from where i am
Man. I would never be able to cook with such relaxed mind knowing there are lions roaming nearby
My thought as well😅
Was looking for jimny reviews and saw this! Man this is great !
What a great video and journey. Thx for sharing this. Stunning.
Great looking car, excellent choices in your upgrades
Awesome job. Well done from Australia!
Man I came here for Jimny, but I realized I found an awesome adventure channel! Your storytelling is great, and your voice is made for it! Keep up the good job!
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome!
You are living in my dream , Soon i will buy Jimny and Im going like you, Always great videos ty.
Wow such a great episode. It's quite an adventure
Absolutely spectacular episode...cinematography, music, storytelling...all on point, plus just such an amazing area to begin with. I've had good luck refueling with a siphon but you're making me think it wouldn't hurt to keep a funnel packed as well. :-) Stellar work, can't wait for the next one!
I think the Siphon works great when you dont have a dust storm blowing you around! :P But the clip on jerry nozzle would have been perfect.
Bucket list ideas! I need to do this. Great stuff 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Such a great video. Truly living your dream and loved every moment of it. Hope you create more videos. A full blown camping experience in a Jeep is my dream
Who knows; maybe you will see me ROAM in a Jeep one day too...
Good one ! You should have stuck the storm out in CKGR. One of the unique characteristics of the Kalahari is the build-up to and the actual thunder/dust/rain storm. Lay your hands on a book called 'Cry of the Kalahari' by Mark and Dehlia Owen - you were right there where they stayed for 7 years. Enjoy !
Epic; I’ll definitely look out for it!
Preparing and baking this awesome bread in the wild is really something👍👍 For the making off you know already my opinion: you are a PRO 👏
❤️ your comments always make my day Dominque, thanks for always tuning in and supporting the channel!

Great trip to the Kalahari . The bread came out very good .. Good scenery . Thanks for sharing ATB God bless you ..
Great video. Thanks and hope you could share some more of your Jimny Adventures. Cheers from North Carolina. Subscribed.
Phew i felt your fear and tension. Glad you decided to leave. You can always go back again because if it rained heavily and you got bogged it would be a mission getting out solo. Loved your fresh bread and noticed the baked beans on the fire. 👍 best meal. Awaiting anxiously for the next episode. Stay safe and enjoy the awesome trip through the pans. Hope you get to see the milky way in all its glory
Thanks my brother!! Unfortunately it was so cloudy the whole time; I never go to see the milky way! But I did sleep under the stars the one night 👌🏻
One of the raddest channels I've discovered in a while! Well done mate!
Thanks boet!
my friend, its good youve left that kalahari desert. have nice trip.
Astonishing everything. Keep it up!
Best episode ♥️♥️ from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰
this is an amazing cant believe it took me so long to discover it
Pretty cool. What an amazing car and journey
That's without doubt the baddest Jimny I've ever seen 👍
such a big dream to do a solo Bots trip... Hope to catch you on the road sometime!
Wow you probably learn more about yourself and your limits in this type of situation. A unique experience shared with us. Thanks. National Geographic should use your services !
Thanks Jamil! 👌🏻 it’s definitely a journey of myself more than anything
Jamié Malé true
Bake a gourmet bread in the middle of no way. You are the man. 💪🏼
Awesome experience. My bucket list
I wonder if that roof tent could handle that windstorm...Very nice one.I am watching you from the beginning Keep on !!!
Awesome. Eagerly waiting for the second part.
It’s out now! 👌🏻
Glad to see that you are putting that Suzuki to good use. Some people can pack a whole house into those little 4x4
You are awesome 👍 m really loving it and jimmy is what i was looking for 🤗
Very Well Roger!!!
