Kalahari Safari with Endless Africa in the KTFNP, Nossob, Tweerivieren and Mata Mata

I continue my Solo but Alone Series by meeting up with Juba from @JubasJourney on his Endless Africa adventure. Juba and Quin the guides of Endless Africa, set up a sensational adventure through the South African Kalahari, our group of like minded Overlanding adventurers set off into the Dunes for a night camping under the stars as we got to know each other. The main part of the Tour is actually to head into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park where we would spend 7 days, spread between the campsites; Tweerivieren, Nossob and Mata Mata. The Kgalagadi sits on the borders of South Africa, Botswana and Namibia is and is a world class wild life destination, with people traveling from a cross the world to see its amazing selection of big cats, like Cheetah, Leopard and Lion; as well as the majestic antelope, scavengers and big and small creatures alike. Join us on this epic adventure and learn about the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park and hopefully get inspired to join a journey with Endless Africa!

BOTSWANA Makgadigadi Pans

The Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve -- with an area of 3 900 sq kms -- incorporates the western end of Ntwetwe, extensive grasslands and acacia woodland. At its northern boundary, it meets the Nxai Pan National Park, separated only by the Nata- Maun Road.

In the wet season, this reserve can offer good wildlife viewing, particularly when large herds of zebra and wildebeest begin their westward migration to the Boteti region. other species include gemsbok, eland and red hartebeest, as well as kudu, bushbuck, duiker, giraffe, springbok, steenbok, and even elephant, with all the accompanying predators, as well as the rare brown hyena.

Humans have inhabited areas of the pans since the Stone age, and have adapted to geographical and climatic changes as they have occurred. Archaeological sites on the pans are rich with Early Man's tools, and the bones of the fish and animals he ate.

Human inhabitation has continued to the present day; and a number of villages, including Mopipi, Mmatshumo, Nata, Gweta and Rakops, are situated on the fringes of the pans.

DINAKA SAFARI LODGE ACCOMMODATION CENTRAL KALAHARI BOTSWANA | ДИНАКА САФАРИ ЛОДЖ КАЛАХАРИ БОТСВАНА

DINAKA SAFARI LODGE ACCOMMODATION CENTRAL KALAHARI BOTSWANA | ДИНАКА САФАРИ ЛОДЖ КАЛАХАРИ БОТСВАНА

Dinaka Lodge:


Dinaka Safari Lodge is an intimate Botswana luxury safari camp perched on the northern boundary of Botswana's Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Travel to a wild world where a colorful array of birds, herds of graceful antelope, and Kalahari black-maned lions roam.

Giraffe, wildebeest, oryx, and brown hyena can all be spotted on daily game drives. Graceful impala and sturdy warthog congregate to drink from nearby watering holes. Photographers will adore the underground hides that offer views of these watering holes for amazing photographic opportunities. In addition, birders will find joy in the 200 identified species, including kori bustard, crimson-breasted shrike, and pale chanting goshawks.

Walking safaris allow you to see the reserve from the point of view of the resident species. With your guide, discover animal tracks, spot small reptiles, and learn about the smaller mammal species like bat-eared fox and honey badger.

Dinaka, meaning “horns”, is a private reserve located on the northern boundary of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The reserve offers an educational walk with San Bushmen in addition to day and night game drives. Year-round water holes result in spectacular photographic opportunities either from the underground bunker, hide or vehicle. The perfect contrast to a stay in the Okavango Delta, with an added hidden treasure.

Situated alongside the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the focus of activities at Dinaka is exploring the Kalahari experience with wildlife ranging from giraffe to the antelope, small mammals like the honey badger, bat eared fox and porcupine to predators including the Kalahari lion, cheetah, leopard and brown hyena. Activities include morning and afternoon game drives in open safari vehicles, with afternoon game drives often continuing into the evening. Our window seat guarantee ensures no more than four guests per vehicle when out on game drives. Alternatively, you may get more up close and personal with nature on foot with guided bush walks. Birding is particularly spectacular as Dinaka hosts over 200 different bird species including the Kori Bustard and Crimson Breasted Shrike and a high concentration of Pale Chanting Goshawks.

All the INFO you'll NEED for the Central Kalahari Game Reserve | Botswana

Exploring the Central Kalahari Game Reserve | Botswana????????

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) in Botswana is one of the last fully self-sufficient destinations to visit. The reserve is massive, stretching over an area of 52 000km² and seriously remote. If you dont bring it, you will not have it and this includes water for washing.

The reserve can be entered through one of four gates. The Matswere (North East), Tsau (North West), Xade (West) and via the Khutse game reserve in the south. The Matswere gate is by far the easiest to access the reserve from, a short 45km drive from the village of Rakops.

Camps and sites are scattered all over the reserve with a concentration about 40km inside the Matswere gate. This includes the Deception, Kori, Sunday and Leopard camps. As well the as the Tau Pan lodge and Kalahari Plains camp. The Passarge sites are north west from there and the Letiahau and Piper sites to the south west.

The road conditions were surprisingly good with the worst being the outside sections needed to access the reserve. I cannot comment on the roads towards Xade and further south of Piper as I did not go to these areas. Also note I visited the reserve during winter which is the dry season.

The sites are basic with a non-flushing toilet, bucket shower, fire pit and shade. There is no water or any other facilities available in the reserve. As I mentioned, if you dont bring it, you wont have it #Botswana #CKGR #5410Africa

BOTSWANA Here We Come Again | Botswana in the wet season | Part1

Proper Wet season rain
Botswana Thunderstorms
More rain
Very slow driving in the rain
Plenty of water all around
AND EXTREMELY slippery track surfaces.
This is what you get when you visit Botswana in the Wet Season.

Come and join us on our Epic Botswana adventure in December 2022

We left a nice and dry Nelspruit after we filled up with fuel, which turned out to be our highest expense for the trip.
As we left Nelspruit the clouds began to gather and not long after that, the first drops started to fall.
We kept pushing forward and had rain for most of the way to Matamba bushcamp, our first stop of the trip. (

Hidden away in the heart of the Limpopo Province, lies the beautiful Matamba Bushcamp in an area classified as Savanna Grassland. Less than 300kilometers from Johannesburg, it takes around 3 hours to get there, and from Nelspruit, it is around 450kilometers, but due to bad road conditions it is more than 5 hours drive to get there
This unique destination offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
The ablution facilities are all very well maintained and clean.
For the more adventurous there are outside showers as well, and just like the main bathroom it is also very well maintained.
As the days can become quite warm, guests can relax at the small splash pool at Tau Camp.
Guests can enjoy hiking and mountain biking on a large stretch of sandy tracks, but no driving is allowed on the farm. For bird enthusiasts, the campsite offers an opportunity to spot some of the 300 bird species found in the area. Adventurers can explore the hides and waterholes that are along the 5 trails on the farm. Us, we enjoy sitting in camp and taking in all the wildlife that can pass through the camp

After 2 days of unwinding at Matamba, it was time for us to pack up. And today we are crossing the Limpopo into Botswana

We used the Stockpoort/ParsHalt Borderpost, as it has always been very quiet when crossing. The only downside is that the road turns into gravel as you enter Botswana.
We arrived at Khama Rhino Sanctuary around midday, and got allocated one of our favorite sites, site number 8. Arriving early gave us enough time to get the camp ready and still enjoy what Khama has to offer. Also, enough time to go and check out all the other Campsites available.
The wet season brings out an abundance of game at Khama and it is highly recommended
We once again hit the road after a good night’s rain and headed toward Letlhakane. Here we top up the cruiser and all the jerry cans with fuel.
We also do our last shopping at the Teemane Mall where there is a well-stocked pick-n-pay and all the other necessities that you will need before heading further north into Botswana.
And of course a burger for the road from Nando’s.
The Botswana clouds start to gather on our way to Rakops and it is clear that a proper storm is brewing in the distance.
Within a few minutes, the roads were flooded with water
As you turn off the main road towards CKGR, the scenery immediately changes.
The roads were flooded and very slow going. It took us more than 3 hours to reach the Matswere gate.
After all the admin at the gate, we were hopeful that the roads were going to be easier to drive. But we were wrong. The pools of water became deeper and deeper. And the clay surfaces became extremely slippery.
But finally, we made it to deception valley. And arrived at Kori Campsite 3 just before sunset.

Our third and final leg of the Botswana Trip 2022 adventure took us from the bustling town of Maun to the tiny little town of Rakops, where we filled up one last time before heading to Deception Valley in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, or CKGR as it's affectionately known.

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve covers a whopping 50000 square kilometres, making it one of Africa's largest protected areas. It's home to lions, leopards, wild dogs and, as we found out, cheetahs, along with plenty of other desert-adapted species like oryx, springbok and red hartebeest.

We camped at Deception Valley public campsite no.3 and in this video I share my thoughts on the best (and worst) campsites around Deception Valley, Sunday Pan and Leopard Pan in the CKGR.

Botswana Reise - Offroad durch die Kalahari Reisebericht mit Tipps und Tricks für Selbstfahrer

Sunlander´s Webseite:
Botswana ist pures Allrad und Safari Abenteuer. Wir haben Offroad das Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) durchquert und in diesem Reisebericht dokumentiert. Das zweitgrößte Gamereserve der Welt.
Eine Selbstfahrer Safari macht super viel Spaß und ist richtig vorbereitet auch trotz der wilden Tiere in den Nationalparks im südlichen Afrika nicht viel gefährlicher als vergleichbare Urlaube.
Ich freue mich wenn Euch unser VLOG hilft eure eigene Botswana Reise zu planen.

Unsere Webseite findet Ihr unter

********************** Fahrzeug mieten und Camps reservieren ********************

Wir haben uns für diese Reise Toyota Landcruiser HZJ79 von Bushlore gemietet.
Ich kann empfehlen das mit Wilhelm Lehmann von Kwenda Safaris zu machen. Er hilft auch bei der Planung der Reise und reserviert Euch die Camps. Das hat einige Vorteile. Sprecht mit Ihm er wird sich freuen Euch zu helfen.

******************** Infos zum Sattelitentelefon ***********************



Nach sehr langer Recherche und ein paar ausgeliehenen Satellitentelefonen habe ich für uns ein Isatphone 2 gekauft. Das funktioniert mit den 4 geostationären Satteliten von Inmarsat.

Man kann zwar nicht an den Polen telefonieren aber nachdem es uns immer in die wärmeren Regionen zieht kein Problem für uns. Die Verbindung ist stabil wenn Ihr freie Sicht auf den Satelliten habt. Die Kosten sind 1 Dollar pro Minute.

Mann kann für 100 Dollar eine Prepaidkarte aufladen. Das Guthaben ist dann 3 Monate gültig.

Wir haben das Telefon bei Expeditionstechnik Därr gekauft. Dort kann man dann auch immer die Karte aufladen.

MAKGADIGADI SALT PANS + ADVENTURE CAMP | BOTSWANA SELF DRIVE #safari

This is an extended version of the part of our Botswana 4x4 Solo self-drive trip that started off in the most remote part- the Makgadigadi Pans and specifically our destination which was Makgadigadi Adventure Camp. This was a 4x4 trip of a lifetime! An incredible experience visiting Botswana - a part of Africa that may not be as well known but offers such a variety. From wild roaming elephants to remote and seemingly inaccessible places like the Makgadigadi Salt Pans. The dry Moremi game reserve bordering the Okavango Delta and the Chobe National Park... A mystical destination as seen only on TV and believed to be unobtainable to me. The grand Chobe river borders Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Then the opportunity to park your camper and sleep among the elephants!
All of the above I planned on Google maps - with no reference or detail specifically to where we were going; except for a very short time limit of one week! It was all one big surprise after another. And all the better for it.

Botswana is one of the safest countries in Africa. Easy access, all the amenities you could need or want - supermarkets, ATMs, campsites, hotels, not too expensive; and friendly people. It offers a wealth of natural beauty, wide-open expanses and a diversity of wildlife. The national parks have a primitive infrastructure and road access - which in turn limits the number of visitors and keeps the impact of tourism to reasonable levels.

Do you need a 4x4? Oh yes! The Makgadigadi salt pans are very remote and offer mile after mile of muddy (non-existent) tracks. Moremi and Chobe roads are nothing more than tracks of soft, beachy sand. Slow going and permanent 4x4 engaged... So visiting the national parks is mainly offroad driving, and you need a reasonably capable pickup to get into these areas at all. On the main road, the infrastructure is good. Roads are in good condition, and - when we were there - not busy at all (except for Francistown, a major town). Just watch out for the wild elephants walking free throughout the countryside! Never mind the cattle grazing at the roadside, or the donkeys and goats!

It is a fantastic place to visit. Wildlife, remote emptiness, challenging offroad driving and the overall sense of Africa at its best. Not too developed, has a relatively small population and a large part of the country going towards wildlife and nature conservation. The camps we stayed in, in the national parks were not fenced, adding to the drama and excitement.

I would say.... get here if you can! Africa has something about it. Some energy, something that captures your soul... Loved every minute!

Travel Tips:
* Fuel prices are slightly lower than in South Africa. Readily available in towns at service stations like Caltex & Shell etc.
* Currency: Botswana Pula is 10-20% stronger than the South African Rand.
* ATM's will accept all cards
* Supermarkets are well stocked, similar to South Africa and Europe. Fresh produce like fruit and veg readily available.
* Mobile phone reception is good along the main routes. Zero coverage in Salt Pans and some areas of the National Parks (which is why you want to go there, right?)
* Most campsites have electricity options (for your cameras and fridge)
* Try and pay the park fees - for Moremi and Chobe - in Maun. We ended up paying a premium at Moremi gate...
* Keep an eye out for cattle, donkeys, goats and... elephants (yes) along the main roads.
* November/December is a good time to visit. Not too busy at all. But check the rain reports - this can make some areas inaccessible.
* A week is not really enough time. Try and do 2/3 weeks!

Self Drive Botswana Free 4x4 Travel Guide.

Self Drive 4X4 Adventure. Complete Full Version Travel Guide.

Before You Go See This Video. Comprehensive Travel Guide. Now free to view on YouTube. Our route starts at the border with South Africa and takes us to the northern part of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (Deception Valley), from where we travel on to Maun – the Gateway to the Okavango Delta. We then headed north to Moremi, on to Savute, Linyanti and Ihaha in the beautiful Chobe National Park. We end our adventure in the town of Kasane in the North Eastern side of Botswana close to the magnificent Victoria Water Falls. Topics featured are National Parks, relevant towns, hotels and lodges, camping sites, road conditions and useful tips regarding your adventure. Since Africa has opened up for Tourist, many 4X4 owners and nature lovers are planning to visit various destinations offered by countries north of the Limpopo. The most popular destination is Botswana, without a doubt one of Africa’s last real bastions of game. A land of contrasts – from the harsh beauty of Central Kalahari to the lush woodlands of the Okavango Delta. Adventure Films recognized the need of many 4X4 owners for more information regarding this beautiful country. The adventurers who want to arrange their own 4X4 safari to Botswana are sometimes skeptical of going, due to the lack of information available regarding facilities, accommodation, road conditions and many more. For this reason, the video “The Botswana Adventure” was produced. The video is not a wildlife film. The purpose of this production is to inform potential visitors to Botswana about relative aspects that could assist them in planning their 4X4 adventure.
Produced by John Swanepoel. Adventure Films.

Namibia, Botswana, Caprivi (Okavango Delta) and the Kalahari on 4x4 self drive safari

We embarked on a 4x4 expedition (safari) driving a loop from South Africa into Namibia exploring the Caprivi Strip in our trusty Toyota Landcruiser 76. We exited into Botswana and returning back into eastern Namibia. We saw a lot of game and considered this to be one of the last untamed great wilderness areas of Africa. Our mission was to reach the Linyanti river in the Landcruiser and it was possible this time because of the drought in 2019.
We stayed in some of what we considered some of the greatest camping experiences. To name a few Nambwa Campsite One of our favourites under the Jackalberry Tree, Mashi River safaris for Hippos and sunsets, Livingston camp and Onguma PGR, Guma Lagoon Camp, Ngepi, Drotsky Camp, Kalahari Game Lodge and Kgalagadi National Park.
One of the highlights was a Mokoro trip into the Okavango Delta.
This video has drone footage.
We passed through many game parks - Etosha Na.tional Park, Bwabwata National Park, Kwando Core Area, Mudumu Game Reserve, Lyinyanti Swamp, Nkasa Rupara Nkasa Lupara,,Okavango Delta Pan Handle.

Animals we saw - A special note for bird lovers this is a birder paradise. (ornithologists)
Buffalo, lion, Hippos, lots of Elephants, cheetah, waterbuck, sable antelope Kudu, springbok, impala, hyena, crocodile.
