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.

So True - I now live in a remote village in the north of England - but spent a lot of time visiting Botswana. A beautiful country, wonderful people, great nature - all-over, one of the world's finest tourist destinations. If you have a bucket-list of life's "to-do's", then add Botswana - you'll not regret it.

5:15 You were at Victoria Falls during the dry season. Go back after the long rains. It is one gigantic waterfall. Walking anywhere near it is like being in a rainstorm from the mist (you will get soaked) and it is so loud that you have to yell at the person next to you.

Oh, we absolutely believe that. Would love to go back at some point during the rainy season to see the full power of the falls!
