Overlanding Central Kalahari Game Reserve | Rain, Mud & Dogs | Episode 2

With months of planning and 1000's of kilometres apart 4 KZbinrs decided to go on a journey together into one of the remotest regions in Africa, the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). Not only did we enter the CKGR, but we transversed it's great plains from North to South. A journey that took us 12 days to complete with plenty of challenges in the way. From rain, to capturing wildlife at it's very best in terms of kills, punctures and far far too many snakes, it was an adventure second to none.
In this episode we change camps from Kori Camp in the Deception Valley and head to Sunday Pan. A camp a mere 26km from Kori yet a vastly different area all together. A vast pan usually known for it's dryness, it's endless skies, and campsites so close to the wild you can touch it.
We start this journey in the rain, arrive at camp in the rain, drive through mud like i have never seen in the Kalahari, but, with the rainfall ALWAYS comes great reward, our reward was amazing for being hammered by the rain all day. It's amazing how fast things can change in this remote landscape, yet fast it is.
Sunday Pan will always remain a favourite place for me, always remain entertaining and rewarding, regardless of what you see or don't this is SUNDAY PAN...
I hope you enjoy this video as much as we enjoy bringing it to you...

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

[@kevinriese2167]

Your park ranger run away vehicle story reminds me of, when I was young and got pulled over by a copper. He got out of his car and as he walked toward me, his car started moving in reverse. I yelled at him that he should catch it but he was looking at me and getting pissed thinking I was drunk. Well, it was 10AM (thank you very much) and by the time he got to me window and caught into what was happening, ran back. By this time the car had lucky for him turned on its own and backed into an empty parking lot, coming to a stop as it hit a tree as well. What would we all do without trees to preventing us all from disaster. Bastard was so pissed off he forgot why he pulled me over and told me to drive safe and let me go. Or was he just too damn embarrassed of what just took place?😁 Great video, just wanted to share a laugh. Will be in Botswana in a week and love following you and the others who have given me valuable info and inspiration. Thx! Be safe out there

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

That's pretty funny, hope you enjoy Botswana as much as we always do...

[@vidfarare]

Awesome video, you truly live in a great part of the World. A tio from More northern hemisphere living, you can still turn up the interior heat to Max, even though ac is on. Av mainley de-humidifies air. Maybe you know by now? :) Looking forward for More of your content. Like music Choice also!

[@RoamOverlanding]

That take down is soemtinh else! What a sighting... Sunday pan goodness!

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

if only we got the take down... so far away, they run too fast...

[@axelcartwright4507]

I miss Botswana so much, lived there for nearly three years and would kill to go back

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Us too and we've just been...

[@mariebotha4478]

I really wanted to do something like this for my 50th b day....and then COVID hit SA. Thanks for sharing this. Maybe next year...

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

it's one of the best routes to follow, the CKGR is just a special place. We were supposed to be back in Botswana twice already since this was filmed in March, all our 2020 trips have been postponed to 2021...

[@GetOutGO]

Definitely a highlight of what was an awesome trip! Great video Roland!

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

For sure, was a highlight, take me back!!! 🤘🏼

[@brendanlubbe2259]

Can't imagine how awesome it must have been witnessing that kill. Well done on some awesome content!

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

It was an incredible day, we were blown away by seeing that kill, we literally had not expected that at all. That's what makes any trip into the bush special because it's just full of surprises at every turn and you just never know!!!

[@juanmouton5096]

St Louis in the cup holder....love it

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Thirsty work chasing those dogs hahaha

[@juanmouton5096]

@@MyLifeinAfrica lol loving it man!!!!! How I miss Botswana now.

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

You and I both, but luckily it will still be there after lockdown!

[@juanmouton5096]

For sure, can't wait!!

[@CambridgeCrusaders]

Awesome video again! That rain must have been intense man, and seeing the wild dogs on a kill too, what a privilege!

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Absolutely crazy to both, the rain and the dogs!!! So cool though...

[@jacquesD4D]

What a sight man. Awesome

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

thanks, we were so excited and exhilarated at the same time but still felt bad for the springbok... but sheesh...🤘🏼

[@BlaineVorster]

Awesome sighting , you are so lucky. Excellent vid.

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Thanks for the support Blaine, glad you enjoyed it...

[@joejames4231]

What an awesome episode! Thank you for sharing especially at this time when all our travel plans for the next few months have been cancelled thanks to CORONA. Can't wait to get back to Africa next year.

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Hey Joe, only a pleasure, yeah Corona has really put a spanner in the works hasn't it...

[@EdwardBath]

Awesome Video Mate! what a privilege it was to experience this amazing place with you and the rest of the crew!

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Was an adventure second to none, what a trip, let's plan a SOMETHING2021!!!!

[@EdwardBath]

@@MyLifeinAfrica I agree, Mana Pools is high up on the list!

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Just the expense....Mana is hugely priced!!!

[@EdwardBath]

@@MyLifeinAfrica always up for any other suggestions! wherever we go I'm keen!

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Namibia is begging us to visit, especially the far north...

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it...

[@4x4ventures_southafrica]

Nice one bud, and seriously an adventure I wont forget. Enjoyed this one, it was on point. Tops my friend, tops #ckgr2020

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Shot buddy, we will have to do another trip, considering what Ed found in his trailer when he got home, we have unfinished business there!!!

[@johnchan9849]

The dogs hunting was truly amazing! Best of the series, even beats the lion cubs. I guess this was early March - is that the best time for a visit?

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

An epic sighting to be part of, the CKGR is vastly different in the different seasons, winters are awesome but bitterly cold in the mornings and evenings, summers are extremely hot and you can expect a lot of rain. Somewhere in the middle would be great, April to May and September to October also good...but in general it's always amazing...

[@Phokoyamodimo]

Have taken that route same direction! You just made me plan the next one... Drivebots215! Why the suspense? I demand to see the rest😎👊

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

hahahahaha, it's coming, last episode will be out next week we promise 🤣😂🤙🏼

[@Phokoyamodimo]

Awesome work!😎 stay safe.

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

@@Phokoyamodimo you too...

[@KampTV]

Awesome video. Thanks 👌

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

thanks, hope you enjoyed it...

[@kushfanikiso]

Great video! For a second I thought the springbok would make it 😅. The CKGR looks beautiful during the rain season. I'll have to hit it up next time I'm back in Botswana.

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

Sadly not, it nearly did, when I saw that tail drop I knew it was over, pity I didn't get the take down itself but it all happened so fast... The CKGR is amazing in the rainy season!

[@kushfanikiso]

@@MyLifeinAfrica Absolutely going to check it out next time. I usually end up going North to Moremi and Khwai but CKGR is easier to get to from Gabs where I live when I'm back. Looking forward to the next video in the series!

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

CKGR is a special place thats for sure, like i said in the video, you will fall in love with it and keep going back!!!

[@ernestndlovu3284]

Hey Roland where can I buy my life in Africa T shirt I really love it

[@MyLifeinAfrica]

we'll be making more stock of these pretty soon...

[@ernestndlovu3284]

Please let me know 🙏🙏🙏
