Good looking trip through the reserve.Just don't fall in the sand.

[@thetravelingtortoises]

It is an awesome trip, the sandy areas (inside the reserve) was lucky not very long stretches and we just took it easy trough them so not to fall. But the ride was awesome!

[@vancemarin8022]

Great ride through the game reserve !! Based on your editing skills you should have 10x as many subscribers !!!!

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Thank you so much! It really was an awesome ride in the reserve. Haha! Thank you, glad you enjoying our videos…. We love our subscribers we have but would be nice to share our adventures with 10X more people! 😁

[@benniegerber9526]

Whow wonderful video.

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Thank you! We had an awesome time!

[@AdventureGrampa]

Thank goodness you made it through the sandy bits unscathed. It would have been quite scary to drop a heavy adventure bike in thick sand in a Big Five game reserve!

[@thetravelingtortoises]

We were thinking exactly the same at that moment, luckily it was just a short section in the beginning. Great experience though!

[@darrylcoomer1539]

That nature reserve was epic!!!

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Hi! It was a special day indeed! We have seen and spend so much time with wildlife over the years but riding a bike next to them was truely a beautiful experience!

[@Thebabsdt]

Honestly, I would have poeped myself riding through that reserve, knowing there were elies on the loose!! 😂😂😂

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Haha! 🤣🤣🤣 we have a history with ellies…. So when the road got thick and sandy (knowing we not such good riders) we both were thinking the same thing. But the two bulls we saw were very chilled actually. Just a turn to look at these noisy creatures going past. 🤣🤣🤣 but yes we were a bit nervous for them.

[@ridingonandon8384]

We had your headsets and just upgraded to the magnet mount Cardo Paktalk Edge and it is a huge upgrade in volume and clarity. Our old ones were dying after 2 plus years of use. If I had known the upgrade was this good I Would have done it sooner. Stay safe @ridingonandon .

[@thetravelingtortoises]

We heard the new ones are really nice! But glad to hear they working well for you. Our sets are still doing the job and they will have to keep going till they die. Hopefully not soon! We really enjoy them. 😁

[@jude.v25]

Awesome ride! Your intercom/microphone interface is very clear. Do you mind sharing what you're using?

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Glad you enjoyed it, we use Cardo Packtalk Bolds. 😁👍

[@luludavel7642]

Would you mind sharing what camera equipment and Garmin nav system you use. Tx so much.

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Hi, we use a combo of GoPro Hero 10’s and GoPro Hero 8’s. We also have a Insta 360 and a DJI Mini that we use. Our GPS is a Garmin Montana 700i. Hope this helps.

[@luludavel7642]

Fantastic thanks - and your comms. It seems to be very clear all the time. Presuming the range is around 70m, @@thetravelingtortoises

[@thetravelingtortoises]

We use the Packtalk bold from cardo, but we do clear up the sound in our editing program (davinci resolve) as people had some issues hearing our voices properly in the videos at the beginning. The range varies, depending on the environment, but we go easily further than 500 meters on flat and open terrain.

[@thetravelingtortoises]

Hi we just wrote a blog about the nav system if you want to read www.thetravelingtortoises.com/post/navigating-our-motorcycle-adventure

[@luludavel7642]

[@mred7030]

[@thetravelingtortoises]
