2 minutes in the video and I am already enjoying being here 🥰🤗🌹❤️

[@EverydayEnglishTipswithAmit]

Africans are so lucky 🍀 You guys can camp 🏕 inside a sanctuary - we Indians cannot do that. Botswana 🇧🇼 is truly magical

[@haroldtonydube4566]

Waaaooo Botswana is a beauty place . Your video is as super as one can see. good work bro.

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Bro!!

[@JamesHendry]

Kubu Island is on our bucket list. It looks magnificent.

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much James! Your latest episode made me wanna pack up and go to Mana! Hope you are well mate!

[@trendingwwwandw]

This Botswana video is worth watching. it brings us to Botswana ❤✌

[@sampotgieter6990]

Epic video! There are many beautiful places on our beloved planet but nothing will move you quite like Africa does. We might be watching from all corners of the globe but we're bantwanas for life.

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Sam!

[@dianewaller8684]

REAL AFRICA BELOVED

[@phatsimotsitsimmolawa429]

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much!

[@SeekingNatureAus]

Those pin stripes hurt! But those rhinos ❤️❤️

[@kushfanikiso]

Yoh, some of those shots. As you would say, “magic!”

[@GetOutGO]

Another lekker episode Ed, magic! Those new pinstripes were epic! 😂

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks mate! Our cars haven’t been the same since 😂

[@BLADE1987wh]

Absolutely amazing video Ed, you captured the African spirit with those sunrise drone shots and jackal calls. Well done!

[@davidporter2770]

Sensational Ed. As a 76 year old South African, who stupidly relocated to Sydney, and watching this incredible video at 3am, I can feel the deep spiritual, longing, and emotional feelings coming through your videos of my beautiful and special country. Love your brilliant photography. Thank you so very much. You are the very best Overlander.

[@EdwardBath]

Wow thank you so much for the awesome comment David! It really means a lot!

[@61sunset]

Me too David, I live in Oz and wish every day I was home again. Ed's videos keep my hope alive and restores my sanity. He captures the essence of Africa. Go well, hope you can get back home soon. Big thanks to Ed !!

[@visserjurgen1]

From min 19:30 to 21:50 on the video - made my very emotional, just to see the passion behind these videos, and to again realize how privileged we are to live in such an amazing country called AFRICA!! Ed, there is something about your videos, about the experiences that keeps me watching - THANK YOU!! Oh yes, dude I absolutely love the 200!! What a beast! Cannot wait for the next video on some upgrades on the beast!!🐘🦒🦣🦏🦛

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you Jurgen! The support and amazing comments really mean a lot!

[@kesegokgaswane6421]

I've been watching your Botswana adventures back to back and I'm amazed by the beauty of our country and how you portray it! My highlights are your meals, the campsite reviews, drone shots and your nifty grill plate. Please share where you got it, it's an essential for any camper.

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much! The support and amazing comment means a lot!

[@johanbotes4147]

Kubu brings back great memories and one bad one( got stuck on the pan wanting to have a early morning Breakfast while chatting to the wife I drove into an elephant track and spent 6hrs digging at one stage I thought I might die from dehydration 🤣)If I may a quick tip for cleaning your front runner braai grid.Keep some oven cleaner in a spray bottle and spray on after using, looks like new in minutes.

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much Johan! Thanks for the tip, will give it a bash

[@amandalansdell1074]

I always get so emotional when I watch your videos, I have such a deep love for the bush, and you make these videos sooo special!!! The part with the rhino soo special, the Boabab trees, the wide open spaces even the beautiful stars at night...Absolute Magic!!! Thanx soo much for sharing it with us🐾🐾❤❤🐾🐾

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you Amanda!

[@bothwellnyamhondera948]

African is indeed something else, I concur

[@michaelathomas1305]

Having grown up spending all of my school holidays in the bushveld, and now studying abroad in the US, videos like this make me miss the beautiful country and nature that I call home! But I guess that is a welcome sorrow to have, as I know that the return one day will be so much more memorable. Thank you for your videos and for keeping the fire inside me alive. 🌍🌍

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much Michaela! Really appreciate the awesome comment! Africa leaves an impression that’s for sure!

[@tagdronephotography]

Superb video, Ed !! I always look forward to your videos.. I was in South Africa for 3 years and it is indeed an incredible place. I miss the wildlife and your videos helps me to relive those amazing days. Thanks again !! 😊

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you for the awesome comment!

[@tcmontages]

What a pleasure to watch. Those aerial shots were absolutely incredible!!

[@EdwardBath]

Thanks Tom!

[@jonathanneethling]

Never give the location of Rhino. Something I learnt from a game ranger. Not an insult, just something I learnt. And makes sense when you think about it. Lekker video. I was cringing with those scratches. How do you keep your 200 series battle scars to a minimum? Ceramic coating? ✌🏻would be Lekker to see a maintenance vlog.

[@EdwardBath]

Hey Jonathan thanks for the comment, I completely understand. When I go to Kruger I don’t even put any rhino shots in given the circumstances which is really sad. At Khama Rhino Sanctuary people obviously know there are rhino there and they are very well protected and I didn’t give away which pan they were at but I completely understand the concern and comment 🙌 thanks for the compliments and with regards to the 200 I give it a good polish after every trip and then send it in for a cut and polish once a year at the panel beater. Once I’ve caught up with all the content then I will certainly do a maintenance video 🙌 thanks for the support mate!

[@MarkDumbleton]

Awesome stuff man! Kubu is a legendary place! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you mate!

[@davidnaude3865]

Another brilliant video, those drone shots on the way to and at Kubu were outstanding. Kubu looks fantastic, thanks for sharing once again. BTW cool bumping into you at Storms River the other day!

[@traveltweettravel7053]

Hi Edward - what time of year were you here? We are there in December which I was told would be fine by Botswana Footprints who I booked with ... but have since been warned that we won't get in or out at that time? Guidance appreciated.

[@rushinroulette]

Great video!!!! Thanks a lot...Is there any way to rent a landcruiser combo like this in Southafrica oder Botswana?

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you! Unfortunately no one rents out 200 series but have a look at Techpro Safaris!

[@johnmarais7772]

Thanks Ed, fantastic footage as always, just love it when I get a notification that you, Ryan or Chris have posted something new. Your obvious love of the bush and the standard of your videos is top drawer. Just a quick query, we are doing a 56 day trip through Botswana in October/November and will travel this route too. I've had conflicting times do you know the distance from Kubu to Khama and an approximate travelling time for that stretch, we are trying to make plans to get from Kubu to Mabua. many thanks in advance.
