    Cumon lads, you don’t expect to come across lush green velds , flowing rivers & overflowing or spilling dams in Botswana 🇧🇼! The massive Kalahari Desert covers more than 70 percent of Botswana, spans about 360,000 square miles (900,000 square kilometers, so basically 70% of what you’ll come across is just what it is- a semi arid desert😮! Yonks ago in Dec ‘94 , I stayed at Sedia Hotel, Maun 🇧🇼, just weeks before I emigrated to London, UK 🇬🇧. Trust me, that resort town is manifested with pesky mosquitoes, the size of minuscule helicopters 🚁 so cover yourselves with mosquito nets at night time 😢!

      Hey Zako. Thanks for the comment
      It was actually very interesting for us to see what you’ve mentioned about Bots. I guess that’s the beauty of travelling. Hope you’re enjoying London.

    That area in Mopipi is not a dam but a pan. Dams are man made whereas pans are natural creations

    First time seeing this channel and it got me watching all 3 episodes for over an hour when i was supposed to be pushing work by the way.. time is currently 2331 hours right now.
    I have a lot to say. Yall are riskers. Driving a long distance without knowing if there is a gas station ahead. 😂 You guys are lucky to have found lots of them anyway. Last time i travelled for that long i fuelled whenever my fuel gauge got to half because i don't want to embarrass myself and why is it that yall didnt cash botswana pulas after crossing the border!? 😂
    Secondly, we didn't see y'all stop for food. Don't tell us that y'all ate those bananas and survived on that potassium till Maun. 😂 I would have stopped at every town i found to get food i mean thats what i do.
    Gaborone to Maun.. that's basically almost a 900-1000km drive!!! 🔥🔥
    Anyway, work can wait..lemme get to the next video. Awesome overview of your trip. Loved it ❤🔥🔥🔥

      Thank you for your comment Kevin, it is very heartwarming to hear such feedback ❤️🙏🏽 we really appreciate it.
      We actually realised on the way that most people drive with a fuel can 😂 we didn't know the gas stations were so far apart 🤣
      We stopped for food at Palapye, but we were just too tired and hungry to shoot a video 😅
      Thank you so much for this comment 🙏🏽🙏🏽
