Big Botswana Baecation, Part 3: Savuti Marsh, Chobe National Park (Overlanding Botswana Self Drive)

Overlanding Travel in Botswana

In Part 3 of our Big Botswana Baecation travel vlog, we head to another part of the Chobe National Park, inland this time, to the Savuti Marsh and the (currently) dry Savuti Channel. A completely different landscape to the Chobe Riverfront, but a hard slog to get there. Just a short distance of 60 km of sandy driving takes us far longer than anticipated to maneuver, but our trusty Land Cruiser 80 Series, the Wild Dog, gets us there without any hitches.


At the SKL Savuti Camps, we've been assigned a campsite right on the edge of the camp. The raucous sounds of lions and elephants at night is surprising and another first for us. We've never heard the wildlife quite so busy at night ever before.


Though we do have a dearth of new animal sightings, we do end off the trip with another, even more incredible, lion sighting, and end our journey in the Savuti area all smiles.

#overlanding #overlandingafrica #botswana

River crossing in Botswana nearly ends in Disaster for one lucky Toyota Hilux owner.

For many 4x4 lovers, water crossings provide the most exhilarating, unforgettable experience; however, they can offer challenges of their own.

These challenges are sometimes not for the faint hearted and have proven to be the most expensive.

The actual depth that you can cross depends on the height of your vehicle and its ground clearance. The general rule remains; if the water is above your wheels, it is probably too deep to cross mate.

A video of a Toyota Hilux went viral on social media recently with many users applauding the driver for his bravery; others claim it is the power of Toyota that got him through the river, while the rest humorously said that his Bush Lapa pushed him through successfully.

Did the Bushlapa caravan push the Toyota Hilux through the water crossing? or Should Toyota consider manufacturing vehicles that can also serve as boats?

Here's what happened when one extremely lucky 4x4 Overlander found himself in some deep water.


If you can identify any crucial errors or mistakes, kindly comment on them below. Remember, the goal is NOT to name and shame - it is to educate and share your 4x4 recovery wisdom with our community.

Thanks to Piet van der Linden for sending us this awesome video!
We wish we were there!!

#ToyotaHilux #Botswana #BushLapa

Terrified at Third Bridge - Moremi

Moremi is the oldest protected section in the Okavango Delta and is named after Chief Moremi of the BaTawana tribe.
Third Bridge is a camp site within Moremi. The camp site is located on the Western side of Moremi Game Reserve along the off stream of Moanachira River.
I never thought that we will have such a frightening experience there. Other guest will warn you about the dangers of unfenced camp sites, but it doesn’t happen to you. Or does it?

Overlanding Botswana |EP 5| - Khwai Magotho - epic 4x4 river crossings

In this episode we make our way to the khwai region. The Moremi Game Reserve blew us away but we still have a good days drive to exit the reserve!
We wake up at Third Bridge and make our way to Magotho campsite.

This drive is an adventure on a whole other level - we face many water crossings, some so deep we almost submerge the vehicles to the max.

We also navigate a section where our 79 series land cruiser started sinking in a waterhole - water entered the vehicle and caused everyones stress levels to raise through the roof!!

What an epic trip this is.. amazing wildlife plus the opportunity to put our offroad rigs through their paces and really engage 4x4!

The Suzuki Jimny, Amarok and Fortuner prove that they are just as worthy as a Cruiser to be called Conquerors of Africa!!

Overlanding through Botswana just remains one of the most spectacular things you can do on planet earth!!

Botswana self drive guided with 4x4ventures: Stage2

#4x4ventures continues the adventure and takes you into the more wild parts of #Botswana.

Stage 2 of the adventures sees us travel from Planet Baobab to Maun, and on wards to South Gate at the entrance to the #Moremi Reserve.

We take a rest day, with some great game viewing, and a potjie (South African Beef Stew), full of the good stuff.

On wards we travel to the Magotho campsite, which is part of the Khwai Community trust. This will be the highlight to your next trip - a fantastic place. Another rest day as we soaked the wilderness in, at every corner, eyes wide open, we encounter scenes shown on post cards. A place every adventurer must experience.

Stay tuned for Stage 2 episode 2, where we pick up on day 8 and travel northwards o the wilderness that is the Linyanti.
