BOTSWANA TRAVEL DOCUMENTARY | 4x4 Safari Road Trip feat. Victoria Falls
Follow us on our road trip safari through southern Africa's wildlife paradise Botswana. We drove through most of Botswana, including all the wildlife-rich areas like the Moremi Game Reserve, Chobe Nationalpark including the Chobe Riverfront and the Kalahari. We explored the Makgadikgadi salt pans in the center of the country, the Gcwihaba Caverns in the West and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in the south. We also shortly ventured into Zimbabwe to marvel upon the majestic Victoria Falls. We were lucky enough to spot most of the big, and many small, animals which call Botswana home. These include elephants, giraffes, lions, hippos, kudus, oryx, ostriches, honey badgers, bat-eared foxes, serval cats, warthogs, springboks, impalas and many more.

A trip with a self drive 4x4 through Botswana and Namibia. From Windhoek to Maun, Moremi, Savuti, Chobe, Etosha and back
Namibia by 4x4 Safari - Self Drive Adventure
Climbing a shifting sand dune to watch the sunrise over desert dunes, seeing a group of Kudu's running in the vast desert plains, running into the ocean and casting a line in the wild Skeleton Coast, making fires every night under a sky full of stars, driving on straight open roads with epic landscapes passing by, and seeing an amazing diversity of wildlife roam in the Etosha pan: all this and more, is what Namibia offers. With a 4x4 vehicle, you can drive deep into the Namib desert to drive right underneath towering sand dunes, take detours to find hidden gems such as Spitzkoppe, and pitch your rooftop tent right underneath rocky mountains engraved with ancient rock paintings. Namibia is a perfect destination for peace and quiet, allowing you the headspace and adventure away from the busy city life.

Namibia Self Drive 4x4 Road Trip - April 2019
Video summary of our 2 week road trip around Namibia; Maun - Sossusvlei - Walvis Bay - Swakopmund - Cape Cross - Skelaton Coast - Palmwag - Etosha (Dolomite - Okaukuejo - Halali - Onkoshi) - Erindi, plus a bit of R+R and a lot of wine in Cape Town. A massive amount of driving on dirt/sand/gravel/salt roads but an epic adventure!
Destination Film || 10 day Botswana Self Drive 2019
A month ago myself and two friends set off on a 10 day self drive trip through some of Botswana.
We drove up from Johannesburg spending time in Nata, Nxai Pan, Maun and a very small piece of the Okavango Delta.
Our main reason for the trip was to attend the Okavango Music Festival. A music festival that contributes to uplifting the Tsutsubega rural community. Although the gathering was small in size, it was alive with people from around the globe, young and old. We met many people from Gaborone, Zimbabwe, Europe and even some fellow South Africans. We danced our asses off, sipped St Louis beers as the sun went down and basked in the African sun.
The trip was unique for me in that it was my first time on a Safari since I was 11 years old. It was also my first time in any African Country other than South Africa. And what can I say, it's love at first sight.
I can not wait to get back into Africa, to meet more kind souls and hear more stories of the past around campfires.
The places we stayed at were:
Nata Lodge by @Underonebotswanasky
Nxai Pan by @kwandosafari
Sitatunga Camp by @Deltarain
Our Mokoro safari was through @Deltarain and I HIGHLY recommend them.

Namibia, Botswana, Caprivi (Okavango Delta) and the Kalahari on 4x4 self drive safari
We embarked on a 4x4 expedition (safari) driving a loop from South Africa into Namibia exploring the Caprivi Strip in our trusty Toyota Landcruiser 76. We exited into Botswana and returning back into eastern Namibia. We saw a lot of game and considered this to be one of the last untamed great wilderness areas of Africa. Our mission was to reach the Linyanti river in the Landcruiser and it was possible this time because of the drought in 2019.
We stayed in some of what we considered some of the greatest camping experiences. To name a few Nambwa Campsite One of our favourites under the Jackalberry Tree, Mashi River safaris for Hippos and sunsets, Livingston camp and Onguma PGR, Guma Lagoon Camp, Ngepi, Drotsky Camp, Kalahari Game Lodge and Kgalagadi National Park.
One of the highlights was a Mokoro trip into the Okavango Delta.
This video has drone footage.
We passed through many game parks - Etosha Na.tional Park, Bwabwata National Park, Kwando Core Area, Mudumu Game Reserve, Lyinyanti Swamp, Nkasa Rupara Nkasa Lupara,,Okavango Delta Pan Handle.
Animals we saw - A special note for bird lovers this is a birder paradise. (ornithologists)
Buffalo, lion, Hippos, lots of Elephants, cheetah, waterbuck, sable antelope Kudu, springbok, impala, hyena, crocodile.
