Khutse Game Reserve Botswana | Central Kalahari Game Reserve | Episode 4!

Sections of footage in this video is courtesy of @4x4ventures and @Get Out, GO! , thank you gents for the footage.
Many months of planning and co-ordinating went into this trip! @My Life in Africa , @4x4ventures , @Get Out, GO! and myself travelled to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana with one ultimate goal. To cross the Reserve from North to South in 13 Days! Not everything went to plan but it certainly was an epic adventure and one I will never forget! In episode 4 we make the long drive from Bape to Molose as we edge closer to the Khutse Game Reserve. The following two days we are finally rewarded for our efforts where we enjoy some epic sightings of lions as well as cheetah. We unfortunately leave the Khutse Game Reserve behind us as our trip comes to an end when we cross back into South Africa.

Watching these videos makes me miss home so much. You don't know what you've lost till it's gone.

[@nealfarrell]

Loved loved loved the series. Thank you Ed and the guys, incredible. No doubt I will watch it again starting now with Ep1. Stay safe for lockdown.

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much Neal!

[@willemhattingh9101]

Really enjoyed binge-watching the 4 episodes. Great content and what an adventure! I'm certainly not new to overlanding, but assuming you are likely to have a large local audience doing, or planning to do these or similar trips, may I suggest, - perhaps expand your slide on camping gear and other stats? There were 4 pax and 4 vehicles on this journey (arguably all with different sponsors of sorts), which means there's a summation of a lot of data - so why not share more technical info on the performance of some of the gear (e.g. portable solar panels), best coffee makers, best stops for provisioning, stats such as fuel consumed per vehicle. Regarding the latter, off course, there are a lot of variances that would skew (fuel) performance (such as "fat" trailers}, but it would be interesting to understand the difference in fuel consumption for this trip for the different vehicles (says he who also drives a thirsty LC200). Nobody is smart enough to know everything. Safe travels!

[@joh5073]

Thanks for another awesome adventure. You bring Africa to life for those of us living overseas

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks for the support and awesome comment!

[@quentinfourie2173]

Edward, thanks for sharing your awesome experience on this trip. Appreciate all the intel you provided during the trip, especially the fuel consumption. You guys are awesome. Take care.

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Quentin!

[@arjanesschendal]

Great episodes, thx for sharing. For me it’s a deja vu, as i was at Khutse myself in October, there were lions at the pan, the pan with the white round stone in it. Have a photo of a female lion balancing on that stone (see my FB scroll to bottom). I think it must be the same, female also had collar and there were little clubs, now grown. My first adventurous overland trip, got stuck few times in the loose sand, but great experience and survived it :) .Looking forward to next episodes, its really magic, cheers Arjan

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you Arjan! That’s awesome I will go and have a look thanks, sounds like you also had an awesome experience! Thanks for the kind words and support!

[@alainbraekevelt6381]

[@sheilaknight5923]

Great series as I'll never get to see some of these places it's good to see them this way. I've always wanted to visit Kgalagadi but at least I've seen what it looks like now !

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you Sheila!

[@african7498]

Thanks you guys - this was awesome. We were at Khama and Boteti in 2018 and it was lovely to "go back" with you guys.

[@GetOutGO]

Magic! Great end to an epic series Ed!

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you Chris, really appreciate it!

[@stephenmogapi3379]

Wow! This is the best one yet Ed, great episode mate, this was a tough trip I see but all worth it, awesome guys!

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Stephen, glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the support🙌

[@davehowell6453]

Edward, maaate!! Oustanding vid. Those sunrises, sunsets, overcast sky, doves and jackals calling, fires, braai, lions......where do I stop? In a word, no, in five words - I'm green with envy, mate What a trip, what an experience, what great company! Here in faraway NZ, we have just moved (about 2 hours ago) out of all lockdown, we're back to normal. But our borders are closed more tightly than a duck's arse, so no escape for me to Africa. It seems as if SA will not open its border for a long time, so your vids are what keep us sane. God bless, Dave PS The wild dogs did it for me!!

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much for the message and kind words Dave! I’m really glad to hear that you are out of lockdown, unfortunately we are still in level 3 so no travel for us just yet! Thank you for the constant support and awesome messages! God Bless

[@wolfgangsommer9524]

Respect, very very nice, i will be there in April 21, i cannot wait after this video :-)

[@geraldwheeler5483]

Hey Ed. Really enjoy your videos. Hopefully we might meet you and the rest of the team out there in Botswana some day. Awesome stuff

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you Gerald! We hope so too, that would be great!

[@stuks095tm6]

Adorable.🙏🙏🙏

[@ImSimpleSimon]

Hey Ed. My family and I love your channel. Can you tell us what that small animal was you found while fitting the seed net?

[@davidduplessis8026]

[@nielmalan5224]

[@nokubongaolifant]

Great vid Ed, enjoyed every bit of it..thank you

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video🙌

[@donovanletlhoma8328]

Quite a nice one in Khutse, I guess it would be nice having a night camera on camp to see animals coming in camp during the night

[@EdwardBath]

A trail camera would be great, definitely something I will be investing in the future, thanks for watching 🙌

[@eesavawda3936]

Awesome boet!🔥💪🏻

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks boet!🙌

[@adventuresoverland4x472]

very nice!

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks mate!

[@anneke1003]

In which month did you travel?

[@tshepotauduncaldt6838]

What an epic adventure Ed! i absolutely loved the whole series of videos! but I have a few questions! firstly did you pay the park fees for filming the video! cause i read somewhere they said you have to pay for filming in the Botswana national parks, and how much did you pay in full for the whole trip in park fees!? cause I don't understand how the park fees for the CKGR are structured!

[@craigsparks1442]

6 Jerry cans?... good lord, what is the consumption on that cruiser in sand?

[@EdwardBath]

It’s generally 25L/100kms in the thick sand but in the very thick sand it went up to 32L/100kms, not much more than the other vehicles though and I was towing as well

[@sandronavarra2033]

hey mate what are the title of the songs you used ???

[@royskymabaka8992]

May I have the name of the song that's playing at the end of this amazing video.

[@EdwardBath]

Hi! the songs name is Maasai by Hans Johnson🙌
