Overlanding For Dummies | Self Drive 4x4 Botswana | Chobe4x4 | Ep 1

Never seen anyone lock their diffs on gravel roads 😂😂 this indeed is Overlanding for dummies ...

Very nice documentary and stunning scenery!
But as a healthcare professional i would HIGHLY advise against going near a carcasse if you are in an anthrax region or you even suspect anthrax. It is completely deadly, anthrax spores are aerogen and in even mild dosages absolutely deadly. And we can do not very much against it. And that is why anthrax is used as a biohazard weapon. So for your own sake, dont go near animal carcasses in anthrax regions, especially when you are in the middle of nowhere and rescue would take time.

So.... that NOT stopping at a STOP sign ... is that the norm in lots of places?
Asking for a friend.
Because of how often crashes happen when people run STOP signs.

Are you guys wearing kidney belts? Those pickup cruisers ride harder than the Flintstones wagon.

ah you're here too, James. I'll sub

That Timelapse with lightning in the back ground was fantastic!

Amazing.

Overall, I did learn some things. Thanks for posting......

DUMP THE MUSIC.....

As much as it pains me to say 🤣🏆⛺️

James

Eclectic soundtrack at times, but engaging none the less.

What a Wonderful world awesome

Omg LOVE THIS SO FUNNY WHEN U WERE SETTING UP CAMP YOU BOTH ARE SUCH A TEAM
U NEED YOUR OWN TV SHOWWW!!

I AM CATCHING UP LITTLE LATE
But worth it all

Yes, James, thanks for sharing. I watch your videos more than Safarilive any more as it comes on so late. I live in Florida so I wait and just watch the videos. You make camping out seem kind of easy with delicious food on the grill; you gotta love it!!!

Great job and thanks for naming some of the uncommon birds

Don't smell that you have corona...haha sad but true

YOUR THE BEST BEST BEST.. YOU AND YOUR WIFE ARE THE BEST

Ke mo Botswana 🇧🇼 😏 😅 if you know what theat means it means im in Botswana 🇧🇼

Through my childhood and into young adulthood my family camped on all our vacations. We couldn’t afford to vacation any other way. My Dad built a trailer we called Rock and Roll to carry all the stuff. One of my sisters hated camping. Something always happened to her...like the skunk the curled up next to her warm bottom, the rat which sat in her foot, etc. Poor thing. I feel very lucky to have had these experiences. Saw wild wolves, bears,mountain lions, etc. learned so much from my father who loved nature.

Hi James,
I have just stumbled upon your page and it has just given me such a good laugh. Much needed.
I have seen you on wild earth and love your descriptive and humorous way

Not only is it entertainingly informative, I love how you use music, and visual elements to create story telling and give enough information that I have as much context as I need to watch the video further. Very good job. I subscribed. I am also very very interested in exploring more of Africa. I have been twice (to Namibia and South Africa) and watching these videos during COVID19 shutdowns has really helped me plan for the future.

Awesome fun...

Love it!!!!

Loved the video 😍😍😂😂 AMAZING!!!!! Made my day 😍😍😍

I'm pretty sure we spent a few nights at the exact same campsite in Savuti a few years ago. We had an elephant interrupt our dinner one night to snack on the tree just above our truck :)

In one word your vlog is very charming and full of humour! Please keep it up.

My home town! Enjoy!

Hello James, I have really enjoyed your videos! Next year we will go to Botswana for the first time, in March :-)
May I ask what type of camera's you are using for filming? I really like the shots of the two of you in the cab, filmed from the windshield!

Really enjoy your work! Music isn't too bad either .. keep it going!!

IM CRACKING UP yet AGAIN! You two are all the entertainment I need in my life. Day in and day out, I could handle this stuff!! Laughter is the BEST medicine!

A roof tent is a great idea! A friend of my sister had a rude awakening one morning as a lioness was busy dragging him, in his sleeping bag, off into the bush! Thankfully he scared her off.

Great vid...however Overlanding tip no.2 - Try stick to the beaten track because some of those sidetracks can get you into some sticky situations.

I really enjoy James' camera work. It seems like most camera operators try to frame a big picture which frustrates me when I want to get a closer view of the animals.

Thank you for the laughs watching you set up camp once again! ❤️❤️❤️ looking forward to next one 😁😁😁

lekker

I have heard many laughable comments since we have “meet”. I have laughed many times. The “if you can’t smell that you have Covid” is the greatest!

Next time bring bug spray or at least some repellent. Take care and have fun.

What an adventure😃. Thanx 4 sharing with us

The water facility - concrete so the critters do not break it. Too funny on the RTT setup! so much for quick deployment! Chuckle/chuckle!

I love how dramatic you are James! Cracks me up!
