I’d happily live those 5 days on a loop for the rest of my life if I could ❤ Thanks for capturing it all so beautifully, my love!

Thanks for sharing your 2 episodes of the best self-drive safari in Southern Africa. You are extremely fortunate to be able to visit Khwai whenever you like.

Another spectacular episode. Thanks for sharing Villiers

Fab show miss Africa left in 1977 ❤

Amazing video and excellently put together!! This has to be one of the best videos of a very special place 🎉😊

Expecting this for a long time

Your film skills are getting seriously good 👍👍

Such a beautiful video. As usual Villiers u don't disappoint

Outstanding Villiers as usual mate, love your video's keep up the great work.

So so lovely. I enjoyed it very much. Had a big smile in my face the whole time. Cant wait for the next one

Botswana is such a beautiful state 🇧🇼

Another special experience. Looking forward to episode three.

Fantastic video, interesting, informative and beautiful sightings. Thank you Villiers.

Loved watching the video Villiers. Bought back amazing memories of my trips to Botswana many years ago

Thank you for sharing your trip. We had a fabulous trip to the Okavango delta - wild camping as part of our overall trip to Botswana. Had great mokoro canoe trips, a plane trip over the delta and lots of animal sightings. However we didn't see any lions nor wild dogs.

Hi Steyn, I love your video’s! We did our first trip to Namibia and Botswana last July. We also did the helicopter flight and absolutely loved it too. It was for our 25th anniversary🥰. Looking forward to watch the next episode! Belgian greetings, Veerle

Thank you for sharing. Going to add all these tips and stops to our next trip back to Khwai.

Solid videos mate.

Great video and very informative about traveling in Botswana. Keep them coming.

I wish I could do this too. So beautiful

I really love your videos. The footage is so awesome.

Bro your youtube channel is really useful

Thanks man 🙏🏻😎

Amazing trip and videos - what an awesome place.

Thank you from USA.

Wow, another epic video!! 👊😁

Great video of an area I really love. We stayed at Maghoto and Mbudi this year, doing the Mokoro trip there also. (we actually had the campsite right next to the boat-station) I took away some great infos on some spots we left out the last years, but I was wondering about the the part between the cutline and Mababe village, as it isn't mentioned at all in your videos?

I have never stayed in that area, but I’ve seen some pretty cool things between Mababe and the cutline, like those wild dogs in this video. For me, however, it’s too close to civilisation.

Loved the video

Wow 🤩 This is Fantastic 👏👏

Awesome buddy

I really enjoyed this video, such an amazing nature and wildlife there! I will go to Botswana for a campsite experience in November next year, so maybe it will be a good idea for checking out that drive Botswana link you mentioned at the beginning. Thanks for sharing!

Definitely do that, My African Dream - having a company like that help you with your itinerary and bookings is soooo handy!

Your video helped me develop the courage to do overlanding trips in Botswana. BTW, I visited Hoedspruit twice many years ago to visit Kruger NP, and it almost feels like you are in California. Love it.

Wow nice bro

nice vid

Great video. Thanks. Can you tell us the brand and model of the external mic you use? Also are you importing external bird sounds? Thanks.

I use a Rode Video Mic Pro with a deadcat when I film with my Canon R6. I also record lots of animal/bird sounds and soundscapes at different locations and time of the day when I’m on laction, and then overlay them where necessary during editing. The reality is that it’s often too windy or noisy to get perfect sound in each sighting. I make notes of all the birds I hear during each drive and activity and then add those specifcally in post-processing to recreate an authentic background chorus.

Thanks so much for the reply. I’m planning to do the same with the bird sounds. Wind is such a problem.

Love to watch your beautiful videos, so good. Maps and graphics are awesome and very helpful. How long it takes to drive from Magotho to Xakanaxa. Can you do a round trip in a day plus a boat trip at Xakanaxa camp. We are planning May 1, 2023.

Thanks Dilip. Magotho to Xakanaxa is a bit for a day trip if you ask me. Why don’t you rather do the mokoro trip from Mdudi Camp instead?

Understood, thank you

great video as always. One question for curiosity: when at around 17min20 you said you've received a message about a leopard, and then about lions, how was that communication? Did someone you`ve crossed paths with told you? Or do you have any radio connection with local guides?

@TheSafariExpert

Жыл бұрын

We stopped to chat to other self-drivers and guides. Our little handheld radios was only strong enough to communicate over a very short distance, but as you may have seen in episode 1, they did help on occasions.

Hi safari expert how can I do a drive botswana and what is the best routes in Kruger for the big seven and sable

@TheSafariExpert

Keegan, Drive Botswana is a company that can help you put a Botswana adventure together. Their details are in the video description. Regarding Kruger: your best chance of seeing the Big 7 on ONE drive would have to be driving from Orpen to Satara on the H7, but finding rhino there is a challenge. For sable, drive the S36!
