- World's Most Dangerous Roads: Deadliest Journeys in Botswana (2020)
Banged Up: My Story - Toughest Stories from Behind Bars: • Toughest Stories from ...
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.
Come to Mozambique 🇲🇿 I will take you good place 🧐
We want to see you in our country 💞

@@savannahstories846 That Hilux the guy was driving was one of those petrol engine, but remarkably it still runs with all the crazy overheating because the moron refuses to fix his radiator.
The truly indestructible Toyota Hilux are the Diesel Engines especially the 2001 and prior model that didn't have any electronics to deal with. The sole fact that Diesel Engines do NOT need any distributors or coil packs or spark plugs it runs on compression.
As a Zambian 🇿🇲 I must say" I have so much respect for our fellow neighbouring Botswana's 🇧🇼 We love you guys.❤️❤️
Lots of love from botswana ❤️🇧🇼mutual respect and love
Thank you Zambia is a very good neighbour.
Likewise brother
Love u too bro❤👊🏼
Kenyan here👋.. we're experiencing the drought as well..
We love the Botswana's nd may the almighty be with us all

Isn't the number of Zimbabweans in Botswana equal to the number of batswana
@@gumzbenjamin85 its possible
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.
So far from what I've watched, it is the reality. Ke a dumalana
ga se koo ke kwano, re kgakala le go tlhabologa tota until we reach the remote areas re mono hela
very deep juxtaposition ..lol,
the 1st few secs its not Botswana .. this guy is tripping 😵💫
@@bsenau 😂ya it's jst clips from different countries, not here
Deadliest roads series are my all-time favorite.
Thank you for the upload.
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hakuna Matata.
Hakuna matata to you my brother
Indeed
@@gacherumburu9958 you are welcome brother, visit Botswana one of the good days, I will provide accomodation ♥️
It reminds me of a Daring abroad done Alex Chamwada it seems very interesting to do it by road from Kenya
I was in Botswana in the year 2015
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
I plan to travel to Botswana next year, If I can afford the fuel. The grazing looks good at 21:51 in this video. Maybe this video was trying to show things worse than it is?
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!
Have you ever been to Botswana. Becareful sometimes media shows you what they want you to see its not always rhe whole story
It's not really what u see, i stay in Botswana. Just a beautiful normal county..
@@kamogelomosweu1869 u can say that again.
@@PeloB
True words, it's seasonal everywhere in Africa dry, or wet... It's a tough place to live, with tough peple...
This documentary is only showing an extreme situation, and not the total picture... Also has got nothing to do with the title "extreme dangerous roads"
Very good filming though.
🇿🇦
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.
True that, our culture plays a huge role in this, but am scared that we are loosing our culture
It's true what they say: Africa is not for the faint-hearted. Strength to the people of Botswana.
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.
We need to see the other part of Botswana we know it's beautiful and all that but some of s enjoy seeing the worst side of things
now that pontoon crossing is a thing of the past, a magnificent bridge has been built in its place
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 🇧🇼❤️
Am not happy with everything I just watched...I love My country and people must stop filming such things...and who gave them permission to do so 😔
This is how western media want to portray Africa
That’s why I love these documentaries because it shows certain areas of so many countries and how people live in thrive in those areas.
@@omphilemonggae9119 I think it gives insight of where we need to direct our resources the west also have documentaries showing US slums, we need to seriously advocate for better cos as someone who has worked in many rural areas, the truth is developments are centralised to urban areas but if we really look at the majority Motswana ko gae re tsela jaana. ke tropng yes its fine. Just like they have las vegas and harlem abroad. We can not be upset by the truth
@@boniswabayani595 Exactly my point, I'm not upset but I acknowledge that of course these are conditions we have but I don't people to have a perception that the whole nation lives like cause some people might take to it as if this is how the general population lives
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.
I used to live there for many years. God bless this great country and her loving people!
What happened to the trees before this terrible drought?
@@deidradahl2802 overpopulated animals. animal eat grass/trees leaves :) so the place become drier then cause drought. that why it very important to control population.
@@toytulog576 I Concur
Thanks for covering Botswana 🇧🇼. Good thing we had good rains so far
@Selly Wang not really 😅. Most Our neighbors label Botswana boring because it’s so calm here & not much people. The pace is slow
@@botswanainsight3804 @ minute 8:08 to 8:40 those are brutal living conditions for a diamond rich country.
@@pietrojenkins6901 blame the government. They let foreign businessman come and take their resources without much for the citizens
@@pietrojenkins6901 how do I explain to you without patronizing you. The bushmen prefer to live according to their old traditions. They would prefer not to participate in the modern economic dispensation. It’s a common phenomenon with indigenous folks everywhere, from Canada to Australia…
Coercing them to the modern world causes conflicts , and political disputes. Do you understand ?
@@pietrojenkins6901 look at 8:29 those are the houses (not much) that the government built for them, he even admits it there, but look to the side also, they have their own huts, all the new resettlement villages for the Bushmen, they built those huts next to their houses, as he said they prefer them in hot conditions because they're cooler. They san are so immensed in their culture that people who often see them wearing leather like you saw think that's how they live daily, NO. they do that only for cultural stuff or tourism purposes. Nowadys some are getting educated, have government jobs, it was a late development compared to other ethnic groups in the country but they're getting there. We're not perfect we do have poverty yes.
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.
Sounds like an amazing experience Ajay. Count yourself lucky to have experienced it!
@@mikescudder4621 It sounds expensive not lucky lol although it appears to be disappearing now
This continent gives me motivation to keep moving forward , from the 🇺🇸
Whenever , i m feeling lowly and sorry for myself , I take a good look around the world and see , that no matter how bad things are someone \ somewhere has it worse . after seeing the trials and tribulations of this world and the hard ships many people face , I count my blessings and thank the good lord above for what I do have.
Amen! Yes it's very humbling indeed. And a good reminder to count or blessings.
Botswana 🇧🇼 the most beautiful country! Dry season is part of nature yet again has good rainy seasons
Exactly, thanks to climate change with its effects affecting Southern Africa more.
@@revoniamabutho9343 all part of grand solar cycle, comes around every 350-400 years, weather patterns will shift, just a small part of what of whats to come. 2020-2053
Never thought my country would be on Deadliest Roads😯😯
Same here.
🤣🤣🤣
Duuuuuude 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 I know
Same 😮
No matter what the narrator might say, that toyota goes where no bentley would be able to go
Botswana is a beautiful country with many dangerous roads such as Khutse- CKGR via Old Xade, Nossob- Mabuasehube via Matopi, Gweta- Mosu via Lekhubu Makomojena Vet gate during rainy seasons. Please come back for more episodes of dangerous roads
Am TH-camr from Kenya 🇰🇪 and this channel has taught me alot and I should start traveling more and more
These are undoubtedly the best documentaries about Africa on TH-cam. Thank you.
Am from Zambia but Botswana is one of my favorite countries in Africa
Watching folks work this hard in such extreme environments I think I'll never complain again about my first world life - Canada. But I will. Aaaaah gratitude, gratitude, gratitude.
At least the powerful winters here inspire humility.
My country my pride...
what pride boss.... scary
Besides the politics
Great content.
Watching from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪.
IF YOU’RE READING THIS I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT WEALTH AND HEALTH 2022 AND BEYOND 🇧🇸❤️
Same to you. Thank you🇬🇲
❤🙏
I have long waited for this about my country, big up to FREE DOCUMENTARY 👏👏👏
As someone from Botswana I must make something’s clear here. The Bush men we’re not pushed out of the National park because of Diamonds, according to Botswana laws, it’s not even allowed to mine on national parks. They were taken out and had new villages built for them from scratch, with houses, schools and health facilities because of all Botswana minority groups the San (bushman) were/are the most hard hit by poverty, have no access to services, no education, healthcare etc therefore you can’t build schools, houses and clinics inside national parks. By the way they did take their case to court with help of civil society groups and lost the case which was the longest court case in Botswana. Recently a San man also took government to court because he wanted to be allowed to be bury his father in the national park. I personally feel sorry for the San if they suffered as a result, but development comes with sacrifices, our fathers also lost their land to national projects. Most bushman now are highly dependent on government social welfare and that’s the challenge we have, I know there’s an affirmative action to give them priority in government jobs so we will get there
We wiped out our natives here in the US with the same mentality along with their culture, language, religion and way of life. Yours will be lost too. The money you're spending is probably best spent elsewhere. Their fate is sealed.
Thanks for sharing. I look forward to visiting Botswana for the first time in January 2023
Sounds better than what America does with minorities
We used to live in the Okavango delta. The annual flood was an amazing experience that brought life to the desert.
Bushmen have always been marginalized.
This is much better than Netflix..l just love all your documents very educational as well..
Watching and seeing them fighting and working hard each day to feed their family, twas an awakening for me. Knowing in some parts of this planet were unfortunate to live a normal life where you can't buy anything if won't work hard in the middle of scorching hot climate of the African continent.
Around 2019 nd 2020 Botswana experienced great drought, but now things hv revived.
In Botswana we all live different lifestyles, an ordinary motswana will live in the village where it's well developed with schools, roads, electricity , beautiful houses etc as well as have another land for farming nd ofcourse it's not well developed , we all love nd prefer it Like that... That's why we always move further when developments are brought closer to our farms. All we need is our cattles nd goats to find vegetation.
It's alws nice to transition between the city , village and Farms.
Beautiful people From Botswana... Angola sends you Love
@4.12 mins - Toyota Hilux .A Frequent appearance on this Channel. Must be the Best Vehicle in the World
A beautiful documentary about my Country.
Am not suprised some westerners are going.. ooh, this is sad. I wish i can help.
Botswana is a thriving democracy, with lucrative safety nets for the marginalised rural population. Generally, no one sleeps hungry in Botswana.
Kudos to this documentary on its indepth way of life of the people living in rural up north.
Am taking a drive there on the 30th yto appreciate the beauty of my motherland
Always thank God for what you have because as we can see someone has it worse 🙏
...watching from Switzerland, with respect for those people, a romanian!❤
This people are really hardicle.
🤣 This is a big surprise. To the Free Documentary team, Thank you for coming to our homeland. I hope all viewers learn something of value about our people, our culture and way of life in certain places.
On the issue of The Basarwa tribe, I'd have liked the Free Documentary team to have done a more thorough research on why they were relocated. It wasn't the discovery of diamonds but rather an effort to provide them with all the basic needs that our constitution offers every citizen for free. It was difficult to bring developments to sparse settlements in national parks so the next best alternative was to bring the people to a more suitable place where developments are easily accessible to everyone without risking lives of the professionals that facilitate them and the tribesmen.
🤣 Im still shocked to see this episode, i never thought I'd be watching a Botswana episode anytime soon especially at 4am on a Monday morning. I discovered this series of documentaries early this year and I thought it was going to be a while until they came here.
Looks like a beautiful country.. Salute, 🍻🍻..
From 🇺🇸
@@raysplace6548 It really is man. If you watched the entire documentary you can see the humility in the people, we value good manners and good morals. You'd love it. I'm certain.
Salute🍻
@@bonolontapu2813 I watched it.. Beautiful country, with amazing people.. Stay safe, my friend.. Salute, 🍻
Waitse le nna I'm shocked.
Nna I'm more surprised and excited Ka gore other part ya documentary e bua Ka ko garona (Okavango and I know one of the characters)😅
This is worse than bad roads. It's hard living.
I love your channel. Traveling through the documentarians' lens helped me get through a dark time and tough divorce. Truly appreciative of you and this channel. < 3
The challenges faced by the people and wildlife of Botswana are a stark reminder of the harsh realities of climate change. The struggle for water and survival in this vast desert landscape is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Thanks for shedding light on this important issue.
What happened to global warming?
Kim trails
Monty is has a one of the hardest way of survival and he doesn't give up God bless him and everyone trying to survive in these harsh conditions
These seem like some very brave, and good people. I really wish them well.
Long waited for documentary about our country BOTSWANA 🇧🇼
Am Soo happy
I'm the 1st comment I love FREE DOCUMENTARY
we love you too!
What ever.
Me too Martha.
They have amazing docus.
Love from Scotland
Actually no you're not
@@FreeDocumentary Please cover Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 too 😊
when we'r f*ck up at work, strugling with the traffic jammed, boring enough to kill the time. Try to watch these free documenteries, for me its very helpfull not coz feel happier to watch other survive for living, but to encourage living in our hard sittuations coz other ppl in some place face it either more harder but keep going forward in the limited condition.
Thanks FD for the effort.
I came here to watch a documentary about bad roads and old cars, I didn’t come here to cry…
My favorite coverage from you guys are of Botswana and Lesotho. What an eye opener ❤️
Wow, thank you!
The struggle these hardworking human beings go through on a daily basis is absolutely unfathomable. One wonders why they wouldn’t use all of that effort to migrate to a more civilized, modern city but I have a feeling that if you grow up in these smaller communities, it’s all you know and all you want. Their dedication and commitment is very admirable.
Arguably the BEST documentary series on TH-cam 👍
Lots of love from botswana, Palapye 🇧🇼🥰
The most amazing thing is the command of the Queen's language in the middle of the desert. Botswana has done a great job with educating their population
command of the Queen's language - You are so brainwashed...
I am a motswana in Botswana and I had no idea that people lived like this In those areas... A very informative documentary 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
My beautiful country got featured here thank you for showing Botswana. I grew up in the city and didnt know people live like this. May God bless my country!!
I Love These, You Should Do Updated One's For All Episodes!
I'm so happy 😁 you did one about my country......my Botswana my pride🇧🇼💙😊💕💃
this is my favourite series and im so glad this episode is close to home i live in neighbouring south africa
Great documentary on the life of people of a distant part of the world.Not everyone can visit and study the lifestyles in every part of the world. If someone has enough money to go to all these distant/remote places he may not be having enough time and for people who have enough time the money is the distraction.That is where your relevance occur . Thanks.
As a Motswana and a tourist in my own land I feel like more could have been done as in for dangerous roads. You could have done the salt pans after the rainy season and experience how locals do it. How did you miss the highway to Mohembo Ferry...the terrible A3 highway during rainy season. Anyway great content and kudos to you for reminding us of where we come from.
As a fellow motswana I agree. More places could have been explored
The shakawe road
Top gear covered those 😂
@@reggiekray270 yes, TG covered it but they ain't locals, moreover they had backup all the time. Both TG and this channel have done Bolivia and we find them both interesting to watch.
@@lexubiga None of the videos on this channel are made or produced by this channel. This channel has no part in creating any of the videos on this channel. They license various documentaries that have already been made by other people to upload to TH-cam. There is nothing wrong with that, this channel pays a licensing fee to the owners of the content. Just wanted to let you know this channel has nothing to do with the actual creation of any of these videos.
Another love from India 🇮🇳💐 great documentry...❤️
I'm impressed by Monti's vocabulary 🇧🇼🇧🇼❤big thank you for making this documentary from all Batswana
I love this road documentsaries I can't just stop having enuf of them. I watch all the series don't stop uploading more please ...thanks
I remember reading about Botswana as a child from a book in the library. About the national parks, the animals. I remember that it said Botswana was a beautiful place. And it was right. It is beautiful. But it, like many countries in the world, including mine, have all been adversely affected by climate change. Water is fundamental to life and so seeing the Okavango delta dried up in most places is sad, because of the importance of water. I hope that they had more rain this year.
Keep pushing, keep going, keep surviving. Keep on being awesome.
Keep up the good work Free Documentary! Always looking forward to new uploads from 🇻🇨
Tucker Carlson and Fox news still continue to deny climate change and they also keep insisting the earth is flat.
It's not yet rainy season, Okavango will never die, wait maybe for 2 more months you will see, anyway I stay in Botswana, you can visit anytime, I'll accommodate you
As we speak the Okavango is green, full of water, life has gone back to where it was.
@@maduoratshukudu8587 nice! Good to hear.
There is water now, we have been eperiencing good rains
I LOVE your work!!!!!!!!Amazing stuff!!!
I like the old man's resilience,. be strong, blessings too
Thanks for bringing this back
My all favourite Chanel,, watching from kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This old man is so wise I believe there few of man like this in Botswana
Botswana is a beautiful country. i spent days in Gaborone, Maun and Nata while i was driving through all southern African countries. I fell in love with Botswana, A lady I met at the bar offered me her room for the night for nothing. My heart is will always be in Botswana and i hope to have my 3rd home there
i got thirsty watching this
Wow another episode.. thank you FD. watching now from the philippines🇵🇭
It's amazing to see just how much that farmer care for his animals
Been watching these docukmentaries for a longtime. Keep up the great work..
Confusing title . but i was happy to hear my language being spoken from Kavango Region in Namibia. Gciriku to be exact. and we call our river Kavango River not the colonial way of Saying Okavango river.
thanks for recognizing my country Botswana
WE EAGERLY WAIT FOR YOUR DOCUMENTARY THANKS FOR UPLOAD
From America, sorry boys that it's so rough,I would love to be there with you.
I am sure you live close with nature and God.
May he bless you all and I pray the rains come and all the animals make a great comeback.
not so much about dangerous roads, and, an incredible cultural/anthropology teaching video.
You should do part 2 what happens after the rainfall, since this episode revolved around lack of enough water. Other than that everything else looks cool💪💪💪
Thank you for showing Botswana to the world 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Africa, the land of great people. Really an entertaining documentary.
What a life.
Amazing people.
Beautiful and peaceful

Watching this really puts my problems in perspective...
I love it! the wily old bushman called the leopards, Jaguars. too funny. like he said he's tired. love this series.
Watching this documentary makes me feel like a foreigner in my own country ..🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
Some countries are big like DRC, China, India and Brazil so you may do deadliest roads from different locations within the country.
Do you have a problem with Botswana?
They do show Deadliest Roads from South American countries but I too feel like they are most focused on African Countries.
@@karabomoganetsi7064 No problem, I just wanted them also to reconsider doing them in those countries for they are vast. I like all African documentaries. I like the Botswana documentary
@@lusungumkandawire3998 I watched some documentaries on Himalayan driving (forgotten name of the channel). Those drivers need to be called by some other words -not just daredevil drivers!
Lusungu Mkandawire bro seems your new on this channel 🤷
This is a beautiful country on my bucket list. The struggles are real and who feels it knows it. God bless the hands of the many men and women who are working hard to make ends meet!
Always glad to see a new episode.
I love this documentary from 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
These are the real tough guys of this world. People with genuine real world problems, not crying because they’ve been ‘misgendered or someone used the incorrect pronouns’
Yes
Both can be problems. You do know there’s trans people in Botswana right ?
@@Onehstly What is a woman?
What an ignorant comment. Apples and oranges. I know a lot of trans folks who are tougher than to go whining on the internet about other people's lifestyles. Get a life
