Isolated in the Salt Pans | Botswana | Overlanding Africa in our Land Rover Defender 110 Camper

If you thought Namibia was remote, wait until to you see the salt pans of Botswana. Totally alone in the middle of a dried-up lake, surrounded by nothing by Baobab Trees and open space.

The maps work soooo well, gives extra context. Great episode guys.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

That’s awesome to hear! Glad you like it!☺️

[@cathyharris8942]

Great that you guys had the tools to help those guys get the wire off!!😁

[@TheLandyExpedition]

It was so great we could help them out ☺️

[@123654789Eduardo]

Very nice 👍

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you ☺️

[@stevestott1514]

Wow what a big tree that one was . And thanks for being so great of ambassadors for the over landing community as a hole by helping others out along your journey . Really always enjoy your videos for the great over landing adventure you share with us . Thanks and cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌍🍻👍🏼😁

[@TheLandyExpedition]

The Baobabs around the salt pans were some of the largest we have seen yet! Thanks for your comment and continued support Steve! Take care ☺️

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you so much. So nice to hear 🙌

[@basildavidson4597]

I also enjoy the music.

[@robmelville9834]

Good Samaritans, well done!

[@TheLandyExpedition]

We try. Thank you!☺️

[@MikeLangfordGoogle]

Another great one you guys. I used ro read The Famous Five as well, also The Secret Six 😊 Literally a corrugated road at 13:20 😅 Looking foward ro the next one.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Aww that’s lovely! Thank you so much ☺️

[@russelljameserwee7562]

You guys do know we don't scrimmage of wood in our African travels. Always take enough wood with you that is sold outside the parks.

[@robbrent]

Yes guys, it’s a big no no to take firewood out of the bush. Actually probably illegal. It must be left to rot a disintegrate to nourish future growth.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Okay, we understand. Thanks for this ☺️

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

Well done for helping that guy. Just out of interest there sometimes wildlife on that cut line, I’ve seen herds of elephant and many types of small game, so it’s a pity that guy you helped left the wire lying there as that could be a death sentence for some poor animal. Kukonje is a magical place. The pebble beach is near the entrance where you turn off of the cut line, where you drop down onto the pan. All the best and safe travels.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

If we can help we always try to, there was a wire fence running along the full length of the track so maybe that’s why he decided not to pick it up, we aren’t sure. Ahh okay, we must have not really noticed the pebble beach. Too mesmerised by the pans! Thanks for your comment Bruce ☺️

[@OverlandingwithBruce]

@@TheLandyExpedition I know what you mean. Been there so much and every time it’s mesmerising. Very glad you got to Kukonje and experienced it. That fence used to be on both sides of the road and maintained to prevent the spread of foot and mouth. I think the elephants are mostly responsible for the damage to it. Safe travels guys and all the best

[@marksoutherton8888]

Harry’s certainly got that camp fire bread making sorted down to a T 👍 well done it can’t be easy on a camp fire. It looks delicious 😋 can’t wait for the video on it. Enjoyed the video as always. Stay safe and have fun 🤩 From Brighton, UK 🇬🇧

[@TheLandyExpedition]

We’ll be filming a video and sharing it very soon! He makes awesome bread! Thanks for your comment ☺️🙌

[@marcopeel]

Your mum read Enid Blyton’s famous 5 to you …nice

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Yeah ☺️

[@campbelllitster7234]

Love the videos and your travels My wife and me traveled from John O Groats to South Africa overland in our Defender 200tdi in 2007 If you get to KZN and need a place to chill you can stay on our small holding for as long as you like - definitely no charge

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thanks so much that’s so kind! Wow that must have been an awesome trip!

[@Andrew_Logie]

[@iantroup]

Bakkie, Boerie, Zim - speaking like the locals now - Lol

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Haha we are picking it up 😂

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Another great video guys! It was somewhat nice to see another place in the world, as the uk is cold dark and damp currently. Look after yourselves, I would have ran a mile with that snake 🤣

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you! And such a different place from anywhere you can visit in the UK. Hahah we did go and camp at a different baobab 😂

[@Exploring.GreatBritain]

Great video , looks like your having great fun ❤

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you! We are having such a great time ☺️

[@IM_AKEEM]

Love the content! Very inspiring! I'm getting my Defender back this week from the garage (hopefully). Got a trip to Third Bridge (Moremi), Khwai and Chobe in March. Then in June we're doing CKGR (Deception Valley) and Nxai Pan.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you so much! That sounds so awesome, we hope you have the best time ☺️

[@dilipkakkad2260]

Beautiful and so isolated. Is it very hot during the day. Also does it get cold at night. Drought in Botswana effecting your travel. Thank you for sharing the trip details.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Such a beautiful spot! You are very right about the temperate change! Thank you for your comment and for watching our videos 😀

[@AsherPardey]

Stunning Episode!

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you ☺️

[@thebuffalooverlander]

Awesome episode again 🙌🙌

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@retnav92]

Did you make sure the snake by the tree was gone before you setup camp next to the tree? Good episode 😎👍

[@TheLandyExpedition]

We actually moved to a different spot 😂

[@retnav92]

​@@TheLandyExpeditionI would have also...miles away. 😊

[@stuartrollings602]

Was he grayish green with the inside of its mouth black? If so don’t get within 5 million miles!

[@bertplank9892]

"Five go Mad in Dorset".....Famous Five....on You Tube.

[@attieven3789]

Are you guys going to Angola aswell?? Big respect for your pronounciation of boesman and Afrikaans name. Take a lot for UK people to do so.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

We may visit Angola we haven’t decided yet! Thank you so much 😄

[@grahames9228]

An island without water around it. You won't see many of those.

[@TheLandyExpedition]

That’s for sure!

[@calsurflance5598]

Another awesome video!🎥👌 Thanks guys.🙏 Please excuse the question from someone who has never been there; but is there any danger of bandits while camping wild in that part of Africa?

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Hey thanks so much! Not really.. Botswana is very safe. Plus the salt pans are so remote and harsh that people don’t tend to be out there.. cheers 😀 H

[@basildavidson4597]

👍🏻

[@TheLandyExpedition]

☺️

[@buffalo4127]

This was interesting…camped by the snake?

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Haha no we moved to a different baobab tree 😂

[@user-oo6bg1ev4w]

No snakes comes in the truck or around u ??

[@TheLandyExpedition]

Not that we saw!😅

[@lovejoymanduku6836]

I would never park my car anywhere near where a snake 🐍 has been seven 🫣
