Living the Overlander’s Dream. Source of the Okavango 4x4 Expedition, part 22. Delta Camp, Okavango
From the water-soaked tracks of the eastern Okavango, we head to Maun, the town that supports the tourist attractions of the Okavango. It's here that I am joined by my wife, Gwynn. From Maun airport we take a light aircraft to our old home in the swamps. In 1991-92 Gwynn and I ran the luxury tourist lodge called Delta Camp, on which our bestselling travel memoir, called Torn Trousers, is based. From Delta Camp we demonstrate why the Okavango is the remarkable place it is, as well as reminisce about our year spent there, recalling some of the events and highlights. This is part-22 of a 26-part series.
"This is some of the best adventure travel TV I've ever made, and remains the best expedition I have yet undertaken." Andrew S White.
An epic 4x4 overland expedition where Andrew St Pierre White goes on a quest to find the source of the Okavango River. This river, as it turns out, is also the source of his love of overland travel and expedition life.
This series of videos is a nostalgic look at what made an English boy fall in love with Africa and Toyota Land Cruisers. Andrew retraces his steps recalling the time when having been taken to the Okavango. This 66-day expedition is a solo trip through Namibia, Angola and Botswana. Andrew is one of a very small group of TV adventures that is not backed up by a team of TV crew and their supporting entourage. Andrew truly goes it alone.
In the upcoming programs, Andrew reaches the Kunene, the river dividing Namibia with Angola to its north, he meets a group of travellers waiting to take him into Angola. His quest is to find the source of the Okavango, deep in the highlands. He then carries with his a bottle of water from its source, all the way, deep into the Okavango Delta. In the final episode, in the final trickle in a riverbed, he then watches as his water disappears into the desert, deep in the Kalahari. An epic tale of overland adventure.

I’ve read the book you two wrote about your year as camp-managers! So this part of this wonderful series is great to watch! Very much like I imagined it! Torn Trousers must be one of the best books of its genre. Highly recommend it for those of you who haven’t read it already!

It's such a beautiful place and very neat to see you meet up with an old friend.

I just arrived home from an 1100+ mile drive and listened to Torn Trousers the entire way. So great to get home and watch this video to see the resort and Robert. Perfect timing.

Thanks for the tour of southern Africa. I haven't seen any other KZbin videos that combine great camera work with the narrative of such a talented host.

I loved the video. The reason is that I had read the book Torn Trousers... I know recommend it to all of my over-landing friends. I read it one week at the beach and in my mind I had to picture the scenes. This video almost matches what I imagined. It is now one of my all time favorites and is on all of my readers when I think i might have a few minutes to dive into something to read. please go back and take more video ...

I am loving all of Your videos, but this one was something. Thank You for sharing all these histories. My father had a similar story with a medical condition in Africa. He was forced by the old, fascist regime in Portugal to go to the colonial war in Mozambique. One of the times he got a worse malaria "surge", could have been the last. He had no reactions for days nor eaten anything or spoken any words. But he was good to the locals and tried to supply them with petrol for their lamps in their homes and other goods, so the locals were good to him. One old "healer" which would not tell his secrets to anyone, only said that everywhere where the disease was, the cure also was. He asked if he could visit and try to cure my father and so he did, the next night my father vomited some of the herbs he gave him and sweated a lot, the next morning he was walking and eating all by himself. The whole world has so much to learn from these ancient and natural ways.
