Overlanding like you’ve never seen before

The vehicles went onto a barge and the crew slept on the river for two nights — the moment the comments still come back to. Botswana up into the Namibian Caprivi, taking in Kubu Island and the Makgadikgadi salt flats along the way. One stretch of the Okavango could not be reached on wheels at all; that leg went in by helicopter. Then Ngepi Camp on the edge of Bwabwata, a night beside Nkasa Rupara, and out via Elephant Sands.

Botswana with friends — the Delta delivers

A convoy this size does not move quickly, which is rather the point. Out of Maun, through the mud in Moremi, into Magotho, then across to the Makgadikgadi pans and Kubu Island. Some trips you do to cover ground; this one was done to be there. Still the most-watched film on the channel, and still the one people bring up.

Overlanding Zimbabwe — exploring the south west

South-west Zimbabwe, from Hunters Road through to Hwange National Park — bush that has not been tidied up for anybody. The crew left the vehicles behind and tracked lions on foot with Wild Expeditions Africa. They also spent time at the Painted Dog Conservation project; African wild dogs are among the most endangered carnivores on the continent, and the project takes donations directly through the film’s description.
