Overlanding BOTSWANA | Okavango Delta & the Moremi Game Reserve | Adventure In the Wet season | Ep1
Overlanding BOTSWANA | Okavango Delta & The Moremi Game Reserve | Adventure In the Wet Season
The Okavango Delta is Africa's Garden of Eden. It's a place filled with mystery at every corner, an adventurer's paradise, and a wildlife haven. This is a destination that we continually find ourselves wanting to go back to. And in this episode, we make the excuse to off-road adventure travel this amazing place.
Overlanding in Botswana and adventure traveling in the month of February to the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana, isn't alwyas advised when the rain is falling. But, ol Ed and I pack up and make this 18 day adventure one to remember.
We visit, Woodlands Lodge and bush campsites, make a stop at Nata Bird Sanctuary just outside of Nata town, spend a night at Planet Baobab, and then, finally, we make it to the Moremi where we spend our first night at South gate, Maqwee campsites in the wilds of Botswana. Waking up the following day we make the drive through mud and water to Third bridge, in the NW of the Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta. This is a specail place to wild camp, and we are in our absolute element with widlife sightings and the bush at their best.
What an offroad adventure expedition, and a big shout out to the ladies from the Xomae group for assisting us with campsite bookings both in the Moremi and the Nxai Pan National Parks.
This adventure supported by Lacie, Indeflate, and Cross Country Insurance from the financial consultants Netsure.

Call of the Kalahari | Episode 1 of 3 | Kgalagadi Transfrontier | Van Zylsrus, Twee Rivieren, Nossob
In January 2022 we visited the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park for the first time. This was my 55th birthday gift from Delwynne.
The park spans South Africa and Botswana, borders Namibia and measures 38,000 square kilometers.
This was a trip of a lifetime and we were rewarded with an abundance of wildlife, landscapes and sunsets. Experience this trip with us.
In this episode we travel to the park via Vanzylsrus and then stay at Twee Rivieren and then Nossob.
The park's website is here:

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

On November the 24th 2023, I headed to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park for an epic 16-day overlanding adventure, which would see me visit all three main camps, starting at Twee Rivieren. In Episode one of the Kgalagadi Trip 2023 series, I drive from Hoedspruit to Pretoria, stop at Outdoorphoto to pick up some rental camera gear, and then head through to Upington where I bought fresh groceries.
I arrived in the Kgalagadi on the 26th of November and made sure to be at Twee Rivieren nice and early in order to get a good campsite with plenty of shade, especially considering that we were in the middle of a heat wave!
Despite the heat, I had an amazing first couple of days in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, seeing one of the best cheetah sightings I've ever had in the Kalahari.

Overlanding Central Kalahari Game Reserve | Fuel, Fires & Felines | Episode 4
With months of planning and 1000's of kilometres apart 4 YouTubers decided to go on a journey together into one of the remotest regions in Africa, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). Not only did we enter the CKGR, but we transversed it's great plains from North to South. A journey that took us 12 days to complete with plenty of challenges in the way. From rain, to capturing wildlife at it's very best in terms of kills, punctures and far far too many snakes, it was an adventure second to none.
Our final part of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve series comes to its last episode as we make our way from Bape to Molose in the Khutse Game Reserve. A favourite place of ours as the once amazing waterhole has always been a fruitful playground to both lion and elephant alike. We aim our vehicles South finally to drive the 96km of REALLY thick sand down to Khutse. With the sand being thicker than i have ever experienced it, suddenly fuel becomes a problem for us all. The vehicles going through far more litres than expected and the sand only getting worse.
Arriving in Molose we spend an afternoon relaxing and catching up on much needed cold beverages before heading off for a late afternoon game drive. Beautiful as always the waterhole is calm and peaceful with an abundance of game coming in for a late afternoon drink, much like we needed while in camp.
Our focus after Molose was to head to the main Khutse Camps themselves...the rest of the story i leave you to follow from the video...ENJOY!!!!

The next day we make our way to Kubu Island, Sua Pan through the Makgadikgadi Pans and because it is still so wet this turned out to be a crazy adventure (one we will treasure forever)
Yes we got a little stuck but that’s all part of the journey!!
In the next Episode we try our luck taking the Gweta Road to Maun and prepare for our first time visit in the Moremi Game Reserve. Can’t wait for our first Safari experience of this iconic location.
Botswana is an absolute fantastic country to overland and Gunnland (Our 79 series Landcruiser) is right at home in the wild and untouched parts of Africa!!
Overlanding The Nxai Pan Botswana Episode 1
Overlanding The Nxai Pan Botswana Episode 1
In this episode we are overlanding with Ed and Chris to Botswana, The Nxai Pan, in the rainy season, looking for predator encounters. We stop over 2 nights at Khama Rhino Sanctuary, 6 nights in the Nxai Pan Reserve, 2 nights at Xumaga Campsite, and then on the way back a night at Khama Rhino Sanctuary .
This part covers an epic trip towing the off-road trailers, on new roads and in new areas as we share our overlanding escape. The last time I camped at Nxai Pan, I was 9 years old with my dad, so this was all the more special.
Thank you Ed and Chris, simply epic trip gents.

Never Overland Botswana in your own vehicle - Episode 1
In this video Overland Spirit spent 57 days traveling across Botswana visiting National Parks such as Kgalagadi, Central Kalahari, Moremi Nxai Pan, Bain's Baobab and Lekhubu Island, AKA Kubu Island. We experienced extreme road conditions that consisted of thick sandy tracks, severy corrugation, vehicle damaging whoops, long grass and talcum powder. Botswana in the dry season is more accessible, but it also has its downside.

Botswana 2020 Behind-the-scenes (Part 1 of 2) - Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
In February 2020 we travelled overland to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pan National Parks in Botswana to film the desert wildlife of the Kalahari and the zebra migration during the rainy season. In this short film, I hope to show you a bit about what goes into filming high resolution content in the remote African wilderness. This is my first behind-the-scenes video, so please let us know in the comments if you would like me to make more of this kind of content.
The adventure starts in Hermanus, near the Southern tip of Africa. Since my usual assistant was unable to come on this trip, my mother kindly offered to join and help with the driving. We travelled via the Karoo into Botswana and on to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. In the CKGR we camped for 3 nights in Deception Valley filming desert wildlife, birds, lions and cheetahs. Then we travelled West to Tau Pan Camp where we spent most of our time on the pan itself, filming the herds of wildebeest, gemsbok (oryx) and springbok, as well as a beautiful male lion, a cheetah, a giraffe, bat-eared foxes, and black-backed jackals. After a few nights at Tau Pan, we moved East again to Leopard Pan, where we camped for a 3 more nights. From Leopard Pan, they visited the small copse of trees where Mark and Delia Owens camped in the 1970s. They later wrote the book 'Cry of the Kalahari' about this experience.
After more sightings of lions and other Kalahari birds and animals, we headed out of the park. In part 2 of this series we visit Boteti River Camp, near the gate of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park as well as South Camp in Nxai Pan National Park.
Part 2:

Central Kalahari Game Reserve 2022
Rod and I travelled to the Central Kalahari in May of 2022. We did some exceptional birding and were caught in a really fierce thunderstorm.
