I just enjoy your adventures Ed. I can't get enough of them. That area is exquisite. I'm falling in love with most of those places you guys visit. Much appreciated. Thank you.

If they continue asking why Botswana so much. Your answer should be that, "it's your second home brother". Not many understand the peace you have in the wilderness

As usual, a superb rendition of your trip. Just love the passion that comes through when you speak of that beautiful country. And thank you for always being such an ambassador for bush etiquette, like emphasizing being litter free and not writing in trees!! Love from ex-saffer in Canada!

Thank you so much Deon! And thank you for assisting me in getting out to these amazing places 🙌

[@pauldarbishire7226]

Absolutely glorious Ed! That was the best ever from content, soundtrack to video work - a masterpiece. The sequence from 20.00 to 22.30 of the elephants in the sunset was heartstopping. Your work just keeps getting better. 48c is hot man. I was in Hotazell in the northern Transvaal one time and it was 46c at 8.00am so I know what that feels like and how you have to take care of yourself, your vehicle and being super vigilant with camp fires. Great stuff - "another tough day in Africa" 🤣😂🤣

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much for the awesome comment Paul! Hope you are well!

[@pauldarbishire7226]

@@EdwardBath very well Ed, thanks. We've been getting 40c here for the last 3 weeks with many large wildfires. It has curtailed my hiking and hammock camping - can't carry enough water to be safe.

[@Dangerboy48]

Ed, you make my eyes tear up dude. Growing up in Zim with Gonarezhou as my back yard, literally, I miss being constantly in the bush. Love your videos, and hopefully get back out there once the Ranger is fixed. First stop, back to Botswana.

that white Elephant is it because of the white sand in NXAI PAN? The reason for it to be white in color?

It's because of the soil/ nxai pain is in a salty area hence the soil is whitish
