OVERLANDING LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE
Join us on an explorative and exhilarating overlanding journey into Botswana, and, along the Namibian Caprivi Strip.
This turns out to be an adventure like no other, as we visit the majestic Makgadikgadi salt flats, gain entry into a very exclusive part of the Okavango delta by way of helicopter, and encounter wildlife up close and personal.
Heading North we experience a once in a lifetime campsite. A campsite like no other and one that will appeal to every adventure enthusiast on the delta’s main Kovango river, on a barge, with vehicles in tow and fully set up for a splendid 2 nights. This really is a once in a lifetime opportunity as we visit Ngepi camps on the edge of the Bwabwata National Park, Namibia, spend a night at Livingstone camp on the edge of the Nkasa Rupara National Park, and, close out this episode with our final night at Elephant sands campsites. Brilliant.
Experience the thrill of this wild adventure, overlanding like you've never seen before. Stick with us and become adventure driven.
Thank you to friends made and places explored. Thank you to the production crew and our mates:

    Amazing video! Would be nice if there were patches where you let the viewer hear what you’re hearing in the bush, as opposed to always having dramatic music on.

    With all these views I can't believe you're not over 30k subs yet. 😮 Just found your channel. Subbed, will need to backtract your other videos.😊💪👍 24:54 What would you say, should be the average total tip amounts, to give thanks for sharing their cultural and being so helpful? Or is tipping frowned upon? 🤔 Just a wonderful camp and definitely looked like an experience of a lifetime. 39:52 😮 47:03 A camp set up on a barge. Just one wonderful surprise after another 💪

    Great video Darrell. Good to see Edward Bath and Ryan Crocker helping produce these videos. My only complaint is the proper way to film from a helicopter is how I once did it. Stand out on the skid with a harness and lean out at 45 degrees holding the camera (I had a big BetaSP broadcast camera on my shoulder). Trust me the shots are great and your heart and bladder will never be the same again 🤣😂🤣😂
