Exploring Savuti Botswana,

[@archiebrown5298]

Getting stuck is my worst!! But in Botswana, NOBODY will pass by without helping. Its an unwritten rule of bush travel there. Thank goodness.

[@exploringbotswana]

True, we were fortunate because we only saw three vehicles on the road it was very quiet.

[@drup2013]

Woooow!! Savuti, one of if not my favourite safari destination (can't choose btwn Khwai and Savuti) in the whole world.. Have a vivid picture of every place you visited, can pinpoint exactly where you got stuck 🥹🥹 Have to say you are my favourite Overlanding content creator, most creators tend to over edit, over complicate making travel look way too expensive than it actually is.. But you on the hand, SIMPLICITY.. 👌👌 LOVE IT!!

[@exploringbotswana]

Hey 👋 you are fortunate to know savuti like that, that’s awesome. We love savuti, I just booked for 2025 again and even though it’s far I am already excited 😆 thank you for your kind words and your support!! Hope to see you out there 🙏🙏🙏

[@drup2013]

Thank you 😊

Great adventure 👏

[@exploringbotswana]

💯 agree, we had such a great time! Thank you for watching 🙂

[@barryhulley617]

Hi Guys Great to see your latest adventure The simplicity of your setup is what makes it so special be mindful of becoming a slave to the sponsored products like so many of the other KZbin overlanders Keep it simple and relish the bush Cheers

[@exploringbotswana]

Love this , it’s so true sometimes it seems a lot of videos it all about the brand deals !! I don’t think any brands are going to come knocking anytime soon 😂😂 and if Land Rover or Toyota comes knocking it’s going to be over😂😂😂 no but I 💯 agree with you

[@yapluka64]

I had a blast watching your video. Awesome contents! So many memories flowing back! I was there in 22. I need to go back! Thank you so much for sharing. Greetings from Switzerland.

[@exploringbotswana]

Hey 🙂 thanks for watching, how was it when you visited? What campsite did you stay at? Savuti is such an amazing place. We love it

[@yapluka64]

@@exploringbotswana Awesome place! we did a mobile safari with only the 4 of us (wife + 2 kids). Spokes, our safari guide was exceptional! We had a great time and camped not far from the Kwando pan. We saw 3 young male lions, all brothers and sons of Sekekama, one of them, Sekoti had his tail cut off. I am planing on going back but self-driving this time.

[@exploringbotswana]

@@yapluka64 that sounds absolutely amazing!! Those private hatab camps are awesome, and always great to have a nice guide. In our last episode of this series you will see sekoti and his brothers

[@yapluka64]

@@exploringbotswana oh I can't wait! thank you

[@doti78]

Awesome video again! We camped at CV5 before and are sad to see the tree has fallen over. Can say for a fact CV7 provides a lot more shade.

[@exploringbotswana]

Hey, yeah I can imagine that cv 5 must have been so good with that tree. Have booked cv6 for next year, hopefully it will be a nice one. Did you stay at cv7?

[@lesleybrown5793]

Loved it ❤

[@exploringbotswana]

Hey 👋🙂 thank you 🤎

[@momakepe946]

great episode ❤

[@exploringbotswana]

Thanks 😊🙏

[@shaunmoller2997]

This is what bush camping / travelling is all about. Content, scenery epic thanks for sharing

[@exploringbotswana]

Thank you 🙏 the savuti landscape is so beautiful, we really fell in love with it, and the concentration of wildlife in the area is incredible especially considering how little water is available. Thanks for your comment 🙂

[@archiebrown5298]

Yay!!! Chick pea curry instead of steak!! Heather Rocks!

[@exploringbotswana]

She makes a very good curry 🍛😊

[@dilipkakkad2260]

Curry 🍛 looked fantastic almost I can smell it... Great idea to pre-cook and freeze.

[@hayleycarter4049]

Also thank you for understanding our need to see more giraffes.

[@exploringbotswana]

I am Glad you appreciate them 🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒

[@ericagreen8957]

It was the infographics for me in this video. And the ketchup sandwiches - that’s a life hack right there!! Seeing the maps was cool too 👌🏻👌🏻

[@exploringbotswana]

Thanks miss green 😂 ketchup sandwiches are when you so dead you can’t even taste anything 😂😂 I am not going to lie those maps took me so long to create , and they like 5 seconds long 😂😂

[@hayleycarter4049]

Another great video! Wish I was there with you guys. You had so many lion sightings!

[@exploringbotswana]

There are sooooo many lions and leopards in Savuti!

[@richardtustin]

Another great episode

[@exploringbotswana]

Thank you so much, it only got better, savuti is an absolute amazing place. I can’t wait to get back 😂

[@dilipkakkad2260]

Were there many campers. At the end of May it is difficult to get a campsite. Thank you.

[@exploringbotswana]

Savuti is always full, but not as busy as Khwai. It is important to book ahead of time, I battled to book for next year and the bookings only opened in June!

[@danievniekerk]

Thanks we enjoy your videos If you pass Letlhakane and have time it will be nice to meet

[@exploringbotswana]

Thank you 🙏 most likely I will break down in letlhakane😂😂😂 Hope to see you out there, and yes would be nice to meet you 🙏

[@mickipixel]

Watching your video brings back so many good memories. Well done on editing a good narrative story together, it’s really not easy.

[@exploringbotswana]

👋 thank you 🙏 we trying to get better at the editing and filming, I think every time we sit down and start editing, we notice things we can change or improve on. Or we wish we filmed from a different angle etc….. but we really enjoy the process. Thanks so much for watching and your support 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mickipixel]

@@exploringbotswana you’re doing a good job, keep it up. I used to work in the editorial department for feature films so I understand 100%. Remember story is king 😉

[@dilipkakkad2260]

Beautiful, loved it. Superb illustration to describe how you got stuck. Thank you for safari also for Girrafs. : )

[@exploringbotswana]

Thanks 🙏 appreciate the tip, it makes sense to focus on having a good story line💯

[@exploringbotswana]

Ps. Sounds like you had an awesome job!

[@kevicockcroft9227]

Hi We have been watching all your Videos.We love your simplicity.We have an elderly Toyota Condor 3 Liter Diesel 4x4 ,do you think this vehicle is adequate for Botswana. The clearance is slightly higher than a Toyota Hilux. What Month do you recommend to visit.Thanks for the videos we really enjoy them.

[@exploringbotswana]

💯 your vehicle will be more the adequate, just take a toolbox if it anything like mine🙈 I just got back from the kalahari and managed limp home on a broken rare spring spliced together with a bit of mopane firewood and some rope🙈🙈 but if you don’t overload your vehicle like I just did, you should be all good. I would recommend from late march to July is prime time. From august to October it’s very dry and hot. And November to February it can get muddy and rainy and some areas the roads are not great. Btw thanks for watching 😊

[@kevicockcroft9227]

@@exploringbotswana Thank you so much for the advice..We will be booking soon.

[@exploringbotswana]

Thanks 😊

[@petervalaris8496]

I’ll mark my sittings on the way out, and check on the way in, but it’s marginally reliable

[@exploringbotswana]

True, I think sometimes…the map is confusing to read for some and they end up marking their sightings in a completely different place than what it actually was 😂 But that’s a good idea to mark on your way out! Thanks for watching btw 🙏

[@Clue4fun]

At what time of year did you drive the marsh pad? We will be there in October and suggest about driving it. Great video! Keep your good work up. Greets from Germany

[@exploringbotswana]

Hey 👋, we were here in May, so unless we get extremely early rains you should be fine driving the marsh road. It will be very hot in October!!! But I bet you are excited!!! Thanks for watching btw

[@Clue4fun]

@@exploringbotswana Keep your good work up and stay healthy.

[@vicentealvarez4406]

I always mark my sightings... Give and receive... If you keep your sightings "secret" for you, how can you expect that the others share theirs?

[@exploringbotswana]

This is true, 💯

[@dilipkakkad2260]

I am thinking to buy two way radio for the next safari to Botswana. What range and brand do you recommend? Thank you.

[@exploringbotswana]

The BAOFENG BF-888S Two-Way Radio is a good option with a range extending antenna 👌

[@dilipkakkad2260]

I have read that Mababe and Savuti are difficult to drive in comparison to Khwai. What is your opinion. about it.

[@exploringbotswana]

Hey 👋😊 yes Savuti is not very easy, there is a lot of sand in some areas and a lot of mash in the rains. But it’s not very difficult, it’s just not easy. Mababe is easy like Khwai. I hope you both doing well🙏

[@dilipkakkad2260]

Thank you, we both are well 🙏
