Botswana, Escaping Drought | Deadliest Journeys
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ธ.ค. 2022
- In Botswana, the real life of the inhabitants is far from the usual postcard image. CHAÏDI, MONTY, MAREKO, SEKERE live in the heart of a country that is nothing but a great desert: Botswana. All are struggling to keep their jobs and support their families, but in the fine sand present everywhere, it is impossible to move forward without four-wheel drive. With tens of thousands of wild animals like lions or elephants roaming free, breaking down is not reassuring. Usually, once a year, only the OKAVANGO delta which flows into this desolation brings them some freshness and vital resources. But this year the water did not come.
Drought seriously threatens the lives of inhabitants and animals. The struggle for survival intensifies and global warming accentuates all the problems. Between elephants and farmers like Monty it's a merciless war for water. Making these domestic animals drink becomes a way of the cross and the herds pass away. In an atmosphere of apocalypse, Lake NGAMI has changed its face. Having become a vast puddle of mud, MAREKO fights there to catch the last catfish in the middle of the hippos stuck in a suffocating mire.
To deliver food to his grandmother, CHAIDI, penniless, walks for hours on a track crushed by heat. At the end of the road, hungry children are waiting for his packet of sugar. In Botswana, the whole organization of society linked to livestock farming and consumption is threatened by the terrible effects of global warming. Yet in the Kalahari Desert SEKERE and his wife MOGATLANYANA, the oldest representatives of southern Africa known as the Bushmen, still remember how to live in harmony with nature using water from roots and dew . Freedom-loving, they try to return in an old pick-up to the land of their ancestors from which they were expelled.

When was this😳?? I'm a Motswana in Botswana right now and it's raining as I'm typing this ... (Christmas day of 2022).. I'm in the capital city, but I have relatives in Maun, which is close to the Okavango and they've not had any drought related issues... We have plenty of livestock running around freely across the country but all of the ones I've seen are healthy and fat right now... I say all that to say,
Its been a while since we've had a drought around here🤷🏾♀️
Thank you for the prayers and well wishes though ❤️😊
And it's not lost on me that there are many people who need help, because even if the water is there, it doesn't mean that it's readily available to everyone..Some still have to travel extremely long ways to get some☹️... This is something that must be worked on by the government because it's basic need...
Merry Christmas 🤘
Deadliest Journeys/Deadliest Roads...two of the best shows on TH-cam 👍 From Guam, USA 🇺🇸
Guam doesn’t sound like American name tho 😂
God Bless USA❤️
@@Danger.1453 yes America seriously need God seeing them behaving like the modern SODOM AND GOMORRAH is sickening.
Pray America turn back to GOD.

Hopefully you understand.
I am so glad I watched this documentary, the old farmer is so smart and well spoken, I also pray God restores all that is lost and bring back the water.
From the UK but lived and worked in Botswana for about 18 years and know pretty well the whole of Botswana. The drought cycle comes around about once every seven years. It is bad but sometimes not so severe but have seen it when cattle are lying dead everywhere. The Kalahari region suffers the worst.
Interesting you say that because that's where all the country's metal resource is located, they should extract it and use the money to solar energy parks
@@Xplosiv3s Which have proven to be inadequate at best and an environmental disaster for the future at worst..
Its no different than the guys hammering all the catfish already dying in a pool of soup, put off today what can't wait till tomorrow..
@@Xplosiv3s To hell with solar power, these people need reliable sources of water, fuel and energy that is not dependent on weather or sunlight. Methods that are more traditional and reliable, something that the average farmer or herdsman could repair and operate. Solar panels require technicians to repair and they are full of toxic chemicals that could seriously harm the ecology which makes them unacceptable as a long-term solution.
There also needs to be some kind defense for the poor villagers that are being attacked by elephants. I don't care about preserving an animal when it is a direct threat to human survival. Humans must come first and these people deserve to live better lives.
This is just another story from the liberal film makers. As a South African...you are making a normal occurance in a big "story". Africa's problem is not drought or poorness but stupidity by most folk living on this continent. Farmers in desert areas elsewhere, are surviving years by getting water from drilling, chanals, etc. You blow this up out of proportion you money makers....
@@Xplosiv3smetal resource in which Kalahari 🤔
I was born and raised in Botswana.These are the remote areas of the country. remember botswana is a semi desert,most of the land is the kalahari desert.some of these people are descendants of the indigenous people which is why they still live in those areas.human and wildlife conflict is an issue especially when there is drought because wild animals attack livestock and elephants come into their homes in search of water.
Not taking away from the beauty of our country with vast animal species.we have the highest concentration of elephants in Africa due to our efforts to fight against poaching.Botswana is also one of the fastest growing econmies in Africa and number 1 global diamond exporter.
Feel free to visit,🥂😍

@olgabooyse618 I agree with you Olga. This is a mis representation about Botswana. I live in Botswana and we were in this area 2 months ago and this is not what our beautifull country looks like.
haha it's clearly not staged. Documentaries often focus on the worst parts of a country. That's what they are showing you@@olgabooyse618
There's a lot of drama in the whole documentary.I am Motswana and we
grew up with much serious drought Botswana will still be Botswana and
Our nation will live and thrive. Sometimes
You wonder what's the whole drama for.?
Are you saying that the people depicted here are not poor? Or are not struggling? If its a fact, how is it drama? Just because you will Botswana (beautiful country, btw) will get through it doesn't mean all people will. Your experience is not their experience. Respect and Empathy my brother.

@@philemomnnakedi6190 not many benefit from that and we all know gore gotsa lebaka to get help..!! these people in this part of Botswana are suffering nkgone. you can hear what they say in this documentary gore gothata..!!! go to the north oye go bona.. villages like Kereng and others..!! this is their everyday struggle..!! the people in this documentary have said it all..!! nothing to protect. the government must intervene.
Impressive old man. When he was testing the trap, he ran, jumped, and fell on the ground to simulate how the animal would behave. Quite strong movements.
I'm from Botswana and I did not know there are areas where people live in harsh conditions like these, its so very touching
It's harsh
"I hate sand... it's rough & course, & it gets everywhere" wink wink
Olá sou do Brasil e assisti o documentário , fiquei bastante comovido com tanto sofrimento, mas fico aliviado em saber que é em poucos lugares que essa situação acontece.
LOL its like me saying, i'm from Northern Cape or North-west and i didn't know they're peeps living in harsh conditions. Well it doesn't take a genius to realize those provinces are dry hot climate. Its not rocket science, how dumb can you be? You make sick learn to be observant , well read or travel msunu ka nyoko.
The makers of this film should produce a follow up on these people how they helped them! This content they gave is worth something life alterin.
I'm from Botswana but I live comfortably on the outskirts of the capital city. I'm very thankful and fortunate I don't have to go through this even if our water and power gets cut off sometimes, we survive well. I pray for those in my country suffering through the drought and the everyday struggle 🙏🏼 💙
You should do something for those who are not fortunated to live like you with water systems motivated the people to make the gouverment realize the situation Botswana is the the rich country so fight for your right to live wish the best for others go and do something about it
This situation will continue as long as people think only about themselves
Every country has poverty,help your own people before giving a lecture on what someone else should do. She didn't say there is no water. Google poverty in Botswana before giving a lecture and make a comparison to your own country,you probably have more poverty than Botswana. Anyway continue making videos in bushes no one goes to just to satisfy shallow minds. We are okay we're we are. Never took anything from anyone and yet they enrich themselves with our minerals and have the nerve to say shit.
@@toussaintbdehi5785 Who said I didn't do anything for them? You don't know me so don't make assumptions. You can't tell from my comment whether I do or don't so think before you jump to conclusions in the form of dumb ass comments. I donate to the cause every year and also help to build over here as well as spend time teaching orphans around here. So don't lecture me like you know my life.
@@Yazdegerdiranyar I don't know who you're talking about but I know you ain't talking about me like that when I literally NEVER mentioned NOT helping anyone around me. That's an assumption he made about me out of his ass.
My greatest respect for the film maker to bring all this Journeys lively for viewers like me, i am always impressed, scarred and amazed, and sometime shocked.... Thanks ! Top 👍exciting !

Kudos to this great piece of work! This Docu’ is pitch perfect!!
Thank God the rains are now coming!!!
I’m from Botswana and this is something I didn’t know people go through😭
Now you know. That is it good that, when God gives us wealth or better living, we should not only think of ourselves but people out there. This earthly goods if we don't share it with others, we will leave it here and others cover up even waste it out. So let's think of others when we are in comfortable life.
You must be middle class.Anew class that forgot its own people's woes. Happens all over Africa.
I don’t what part of what I wrote said I’m middle class and that I needed to be reminded how good I have it🤔
Am from Namibia however Our neighbors we love you Botswana all shall be well
Good documentary, most people in our country Botswana don't know that such places exist, good to see this other side exposed for the rest of us to see as well, could have been nice if they included the names of the places as well.

They can can prob turn Switzerland into a hell hole if they try hard enough
Some. Time the developing off a country is bad fore some region , but thise are political the politici are. Thinking. To become rich fore them self. They. Does not care about people in there country.

You couldn't have seen it last week it only premiered tonight
@@kennethlynch9926 no it's didn't another channel already shows this
Best Channel 💯 RESPECT!
Everyone talking but no one saying July in Botswana is winter and not summer of anything.
the dry season is april to october in botswana
@@danielmalone4446 but is it the cold dry or the hot dry?
Outside snow falling areas we have wet, dry, cold and hot blend them as best.
@Nigel Mutepfa what a stupid comment. Try again.
Native Africans probably laugh at the umlungu (or vazaha) who are clueless about seasons in Africa.
Reporters never film or report the truth, they take advantage of ignorant viewers. Now there are floods.
I'm so glad I came across "Best documentary"
Very interesting and informative and enjoyable 💖
Great Documentry I I like this Documentry & this channel is very good and the best informer in the world Great 👍 Presentation Best Team work
Monty in particular is the definition of a role model of a man
I know right dude too strong
Absolutely beautiful watch. This is a regular experience of mine whenever I visit the farm which is right next to the Central Kahalari game reserve. A lot of Batswana who stay in the city have no idea that people still live this way

All my Botswana people and Africa as a whole..Namibia and i, loves u
enjoyed watching, great documentary.
Ke Motswana (I'm from Botswana)... I'm wondering if they mixed in a few far away places in this video so would be nice to know their names. Life is hard in Botswana for sure but it is also very beautiful. Sun is always shining and you will never see such stars or sunsets elsewhere. We have good governance, economy and the people help each other!
I guess there is some propaganda. They want to tell some story which is somewhat true so they try to use some clips that aligns very much with this. It's the art of storytelling
July is winter in this part of Africa. We have no rain at all . Our summer begins late October to November. It's December as we speak & we are having floods in many places
Yes and in the Namib desert rivers that have been dry for 10 years are flooding.
I am from Botswana 🇧🇼. Botswana is a semi-arid desert.drought can be a problem in other places in Botswana. especially people who have farms.
Road can be Sandy real heavy, break down of cars and trucks
We hope government can do something
Especially to work on the roads and the droughts too.for the livestocks they need water, which Botswana is known as production of meat which is sold out to other countries.
Other thing can be a problem is wild animals like elephant,lion, leopard, hyenas,wilddogs and jackals.which can be stress too much and threat to people and there livestocks.
We hope the government can put more effort into this situation.
My friend, your videos are wonderful, you always show us the unknown faces of the world.
No way the camera crew let him walk for 29hrs ... clearly there was a vehicle for the crew that gave him a left and filmed him walking for the back story
True, but they still allowed him to tell his story. That camera crew was there for but a moment. Use your brain.
@@MsAmique ok and if he wouldve died then what...?
Amazing documentary, it almost makes you feel like you were there.
Imagine to cant afford a taxi from ur pay, lol
This documentary, is false information, there is more to Botswana than the heat and any other problems they claim to have
Very heart touching. It was difficult to watch Botswana people and animals suffering so much. May almighty lord show mercy on them. The government of Botswana must come up with long term solutions on drought.
@@joshuavanniekerk4524 Africa is a place of hyenas. Like hyenas Africans are insensitive to the pain of sufferers.
We are not suffering, atleast no more than any other place. The documentary is exaggerated

One of the toughest journeys ever watched. Its sad sad! But amazing people
35:16 this guy walking in extreme heat in the midday sun with a jacket on is such a big contradiction.
yeah people do that a lot in botswana. It protects the skin from the sun. mainly a light jersey
It may be winter, dry season is during winter in Botswana, by looking at the vegetation i think it was winter not summer because even before rain the plants start having green shoots and flowers in August. So the sun may look scorching but the air is usually cold we have cold winter in Botswana.
He probably doesn’t want the sun to burn his skin so it might be for protection
Hello am a CEO of my company in india based on USA California ...am happy that through this very documentary I could help some amount of money to the bostwana native people ...just a small token of love from my family ....I just donated 5000 us dollar I hope and pray that I will surely reached the people and truely help them ...God bless the workers leaders and volunteers
If you really did that, then thank you. That was a great thing to do
Desde Marruecos 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦me encanta este país Botswana 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼❤❤❤
These people are amazing. They do what ever they have to to survive.
This was such an educational documnetary. Especially for us who grew up and staed all our lives in the cities. Atleasst we get to understand other people's situations. I am a proud Motswana and I love my country.

I dnt know when this documentary was made i live in Botswana but this isnt wat we are experiencing currently
you serious? its exactly whats happening....those in Gaborone and are not so into current affairs dont know or feel the climate change effect...we are experiencing this now, just that you might be living in GC and priviledged to not be experiencing the life in the villages far away from cities...
@@elradikgake1526 it's true I agreed we you
@@neosamuel1134 its best you come to botswana and you will realise that this is not true. we are in botswana and have travelled almost all over the countyr and what this documenrati is portraying is not at all true.
Thank you. The western media has taken upon itself to paint Africa as pure struggle.
Gatwe this was around 2016...
I hope the camera crew bought all of that lady's stock of beer and drinks. Everyone in this documentary is so humbling. More people need to watch these documentaries to gain humility.
Thanks for this one too
Monty is legend. Wish someone younger would help him.
A vida é uma verdadeira aventura perigosa e desafiadora em certos lugares do planeta. Não é o suficiente apenas assistirmos,precisamos ajudá-los. E a pergunta que deixo aqui é a seguinte : Muitos teem acesso ao conhecimento de quão difícil ela,a vida é, então nas cidades, nas zonas urbanas onde o desafio é dar o melhor de si : POR QUE O HOMEM VIVE EM CONSTANTE PERSEGUIÇÃO AO PRÓPRIO HOMEM, VEZ QUE EXISTEM CONDIÇÕES TÃO MAIS FAVORÁVEIS.? Seria o progresso, que despe o homem de sua humanidade? Muitos pensadores levaram suas existências sobre essas questões,e ainda continuamos na mesma situação.
"Most of the economy depend on the Okavango"???? You are just flat out lying.... 40% of Botswana's GDP comes from Diamond mining.
I've watched a few of these videos and I've noticed some discrepancies with some "facts" they state in the shows. One time the nattator said a pickup or small suv weighed something like 10 tons. 10 tons lol😂
njoyed watching, great documentary.
PRAYERS for Botswana
Prayers for mother earth 🙏🌍😢
I get stressed when the internet goes down for 30 minutes. We have deer that get into our gardens that are a nuisance, imagine coming across elephants.
May God bless you and reward you tremendously for your hard work and patience. After suffering comes much ease insha'Allah ☝️☝️👑😇💫💪
I can see the Hard work Behind this One of the Best Documentary
Let us help these people, this is hard to watch their struggles.

No this was probably recorded 5 years ago👀👀👀 we have so much rain, plus this drought did not hit the whole country. Everything hear is over dramatized
@@boemomathumo9591 get lost
Of all the documentaries I've watched so far on this channel, this one feels the most desperate. This felt pretty grueling to watch. The life in Mad Max almost feels palatable in comparison.
You are going to get that (Mad Max) if the Billionaires get their way and push through all of the planned Climate Hysteria measures.
Right? At least in Mad Max the vehicles worked. Made me realize how tough sand is on cars
I'm not as old as Monty but there is no way I could keep up with him. Whar a constant struggle he has just to try and keep his animals alive.
Watching this while in Kenya is just too sad. May the lord give them rain
Saddest thing is that Botswana has the 2nd largest diamond deposits in the world after Russia and that money doesn't trickle down to the ordinary people
@@williegitau6680 stop talking nonsense. How would diamonds bring rain?
@@jennifertebomosiane9596 The money gained from the diamonds would allow the government to dig wells and invest in water.
@@bigmac7950 dig Wells? In a draught? Some of you should really research Botswana as a geographical area and as a country.
Everything in Botswana was built by Batswana.
The colonial govt left nothing by a 5km tarred Road. So those diamonds educated the public, built hospitals etc.
Environment:- 70% of this country is a desert. This country is the same size as France and sparcely populated.
So mind your own country and its corruption and leave us alone.
@@jennifertebomosiane9596 So your telling me that BOREHOLE DRILLING is ineffective in Botswana?
Truly heart-breaking. NUFF respect to ALL African and Caribbean immigrants. You need to tell your children these stories so they will be appreciative of everything you've gone thru to get here so they can have more opportunities. My old immigrant pastor said "You will never know how many lies your parents had to tell to get you here".
It is appreciated.

Most places in Africa aren't like this, the weather is nice and sunny around 22-30 degress all year round
The country is a semi desert so obviously some parts will be dry. Also this looks like it was filmed mostly in kgalagadi and/Ghanzi which are the driest districts in the country and anyone who lives in these parts knows you can't be driving any car through the sand cause it might get stuck
It was ishot in Ngami area i think
I'm glad the new series is in 4k 😊
just a quick one, I appreciate the effort and quality of your work, however I have not come across any legislature banning anyone person from leaving a reserve in Botswana... I have neither witnessed anyone being denied the right to exit such a reserve... speaking as someone who has been to National Game Parks and reserves in Botswana... id be interested to know more from you though...for the sake of public interest.
am from botswana and i am not aware of a drought
Am from Botswana it's there
The visuals are possibly from 2018 - 2019. That's when Lake Ngami was dry
Didn't it just rain heavily last month

Seeing this extensive decay of wildlife in Botswana and this painful drought cycle is rather heartbreaking.
Sou angolano, e é muito triste pra mim ver a região do Kalahary nessas condições, principalmente devido as populações que dependem do Okavango pra sua sobrevivência. Na verdade esse fenomeno de seca tem assolado todo o sul do nosso continente nos últimos anos, e não vejo as nossas autoridades criarem mecanismo de protecção e sustentabilidade dessas regiões.
This docu only focuses on rural Botswana and its poverty which is typical for Western view of Africa. I've went to Botswana many times and this is NOT the Botswana I've seen. I'm from the North west province in South Africa.
this is crap my guy. So much exagration and fabrication. Gatwe 19 Km' in 2 days. I drive a Lexus on Gravel for 20 KM's and it takes me less than 30 Minutes . If there was fact checking before uploading this fake info the documentary wudnt exist caz there's no single facts here.
Great documentary but sad too
A lot of respect for the people living there
Now these are the real men real hardworking men warriors in real life regardless prayers for Botswana and hopefully the drought pass so soon and the government giving all the help it can.God bless you all keep doing what u gotta do fight on and live wish there is anyway I could be of help 🙏 🖤💪🏿
July is peak winter in Southern Africa not summer and that means no rainfall until spring/summer,typically from September 1st until the end of November is considered spring.
That’s what I was thinking too
This is my next stop on my quest to travel the world... Botswana.
Wow. Those aerial shots over that little lake that used to be monolithic fresh water, it's very unsettling.

Great Video.
How devastating is this. 😔
Botswana's climate is semi-arid. Though it is hot and dry for much of the year, there is a rainy season, which occurs in the months from October to April, and falls as localized showers or thunderstorms. When it does rain, it tends to be episodic, unpredictable, and highly regional. Often a heavy downpour may occur in one area while 10 or 15 km away there is no rain at all. The government should deploy some form of rain harvesting and filtration system to make it clean for consumption so that it's people in all region can benefit from the system all year round.
Sometimes there hardly any rain at all that season anywhere in the country and so until the next season, the country struggles badly.
interesting response.
@@cheese_wrld Is it just those who live in the desert who suffer like this ?
From Kenya 🇰🇪
Sure , but since tourism is the major income for Botswana , more people having reliable water might mean a population increase, which is already encroaching on wildlife . It might be deliberate policy not to provide water to these mostly poor people ?
Or the world powers can stop their weather manipulation, as it causes droughts and deluges all over the world. They are the ones' deciding who gets water and who gets droughts. Shameful.
If I were to guess I'd say probably our biggest source of income is diamonds and the huge problem is corruption. Drought today isn't like around when this was filmed. I remember billboards literally encouraging not flushing the toilet when you pee but only when you did a #2. Almost everyday in the news, there'd be updates about the levels of water in Gaborone dam. Very sad. We even imported water from SA. Harsh times indeed but not as bad as the people in the rural areas. They still suffer to this day
the fact that so many people from Botswana in the comments don't know or have no idea these problems exist in their country is troubling.
Why such exaggerations. We live in Africa, we're on the ground. But some of yalls stories are just...... fantastical.
2021 they had more drought in the states which they never showed
One of my best friends in college … Moabi Masire son of the late President Masire. I know how the media exaggerates
However if this is even one person’s reality….. rough!!!!!
It a big continent and things will be vastly different depending on where you live obviously if you're in Johannesburg your going to have a road to drive on.
They are exploiting the African people and using Africa as a convenient conduit to push and promote the global warming hoax..temps in Africa is the same today as they were 1000 years ago and will be the same in the next 1000, it’s a LIE AND HOAX…and they know it.
Yalls?
Drought was always mentioned in ancient writings, the Torah and Egyptian hieroglyphs. These droughts visit almost every other 3 years.
It has always been this way, nothing new under the sun.
monty is the man, he is self sufficient and i wish him well
Thank you for including the credits :)
Shoutout to the sand people. Much respect!
If only the Government would listen to an outside idea or two the drought could be easily overcome

I think I can say thank you for showing what happens in a part of Botswana, but there is alot more happening in Botswana than this, look through the comments and you will realise Batswana are here saying the exact same thing, kinda over dramatised. Open to conversation 🙂
Very over dramatized. And wrong informations also
Thank you, they should mention that it's "PART" of Botswana
What do you expect from media, doesn't matter if it's a youtube channel or a multi million dollar "news company". It's all about the sensation and drama.
So you rather they show serowe instead of Ngarange?
@@misslebo8379 they must show Phakalane nyana...
Honestly speaking, this is very dramatized for views, I’m from botswana and we have been experiencing exceptional rainfall this year and years before…granted we are in a semi desert, some areas will be dry, some will get better rainfall than others. Otherwise this is just overly dramatized. People actually prefer to rear livestock in the CKGR because of abundance of grazing land.
This document just makes it seem like everyone is kneeling down, hands in the sky begging God for a drop of water.
