World's Most Dangerous Roads: Deadliest Journeys in Botswana (2020)

Banged Up: My Story - Toughest Stories from Behind Bars:    • Toughest Stories from Behind Bars | B...  

The real lives of the people of Botswana is far from the usual picture postcard image. CHAIDI, MONTY, MAREKO, SEKERE live in the heart of a country that is nothing but one vast desert: Botswana. Everybody struggles to keep their job and support their family, but in the all-prevailing fine sand it’s impossible to move around without a 4-wheel drive. And with tens of thousands of wild animals on the roam such as lions and elephants breaking down is not a reassuring prospect.

Normally, once a year, only the OKAVANGO delta, which flows into this desolation, provides a little coolness and vital resources. However, this year the water did not come. The drought is posing a serious threat to the lives of the people and animals. The struggle for survival is getting more intense and global warming makes the problems worse. A merciless war over water is being waged between the elephants and farmers like Monty. Taking his domestic animals to water becomes a way of the cross and flocks are dying. In what looks an apocalyptic setting, Lake NGAMI has changed appearance to become a vast puddle of mud.

MAREKO struggles to catch the few remaining catfish amidst the hippos bogged down in stifling slime. To deliver supplies to his grandmother, penniless CHAIDI walks for hours over a sun-baked track. At the end of the trail, hungry children await his pack of sugar. In Botswana, the entire community organized around cattle breeding and consumption is under threat from the terrible effects of global warming. And yet, in the Kalahari Desert, SEKERE and his mother, MOGATLANYANA, the oldest representatives of southern Africa, known as the Bushmen, still remember how to live in harmony with nature by using water from roots and dew. Imbued with the spirit of freedom, they are trying to return, in an old pick-up, to the land of their forefathers from which they were driven.

  • A couple of things about Botswana 🇧🇼 Botswana is well known for having some of the best wilderness and wildlife areas on the African continent. 38% of its total land area are devoted to national parks, reserves and wildlife management areas.

    Generally speaking Botswana has a low crime rate compared to other countries in Africa. There is also no recent history of terrorism and violent attacks on tourists are very rare. Off you go! Because it sounds and looks like an amazing place (I know we say that about all the places - but let’s be honest - the world IS an amazing place no matter where you go, and where you are. If you look, you’ll always discover something amazing.
  • As a Zambian 🇿🇲 I must say" I have so much respect for our fellow neighbouring Botswana's 🇧🇼 We love you guys.❤️❤️
  • Deadliest roads series are my all-time favorite.

  • I'm from Botswana n living in the capital city, this documentary rily saddened me, can't believe some fellow countrymen suffer this much. Even though life is though in cities, villages n towns, it's not as bad as wat I watched here.
  • now that pontoon crossing is a thing of the past, a magnificent bridge has been built in its place
  • I live in Botswana and this was an eye opener. Life in the city and towns is not so glamorous but these rural places make it seem like otherwise. These are the people that made our country what it is today
  • Very beautiful country ❤ with very well-mannered people, so respectful people, Botswana 🇧🇼, i always feel safe when traveling in Botswana 🇧🇼. A special country in Southern Africa.
  • It's true what they say: Africa is not for the faint-hearted. Strength to the people of Botswana.
  • I used to live there for many years. God bless this great country and her loving people!

    What I remember is driving in that heat. Very hot and very dry. It's a different kind of hot weather. Used to supply cattle feed all over Botswana. Thanks again for this documentary it brought back good memories of my time in Botswana from Serowe with love.
  • When I feel like I may have had a tough day, or things haven't gone the way I want, I watch a video like this and realize how selfish I am being and have no clue what a bad day really is compared to these guy's!

    Hi I'm living in Botswana. Im a foreigner. Really really it is a beautiful country. If go remote area u can feel and see the nature's gift. U can feel and breatha pollution free air. We are the people thinking we living in a very sophisticated world. Once u come and see this country u really feel it hw god gifts this land to human beings. Ya it is a dryland. But it is heaven for many lives. In rural area may be rough but the people hearts are velvet. 95% people really taking care of their land especially one who living in remote.
  • I want to make something clear ,these are rural areas of the country. This is not how all Batswana live we're quite developed so under no circumstances should people think this depicts how we all generally live. Just like any country there are under developed parts of the country and these are one of the places sadly. Love and light to my Country 🇧🇼❤️
  • Botswana 🇧🇼 the most beautiful country! Dry season is part of nature yet again has good rainy seasons
  • @johnallen7807

    I have been to Botswana twice, last time was in 2002. Loved mokoro sailing, fishing for Bream and game watching, observing Okwango delta from above while flying from one camp to another. One of my guide Patrick took me on a two night trip to Kalahari bushmen people territory. I spent two days with them. They showed me their hunting skill, trap setting, bush craft. In the night, after dinner, they organised their Trance Dance. I love the people and country.
