I am Zambian but lived in Maun in late 90s and early 2000s. I plan to take my family on a trip down memory lane which should include a visit to the delta.
Not Kazane it’s Kasane.
Maun, its original name is Maunyi. The British had trouble pronouncing Maunyi and would often be heard pronouncing it as Maun. The beauty is that we never lost the semantic and it’s meaning remains the same.
Error @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0p3uSXrkqA&t=2436">40:36</a> Libya is twice the size of Botswana. It is one of the biggest countries in the world. It’s in the top 20 biggest countries in the world by landmass.
why mention France here....this is africa not your dying european continent
Uma nação castigada pela seca, alguém produz carne de jacaré e infelizmente é embargado por aqueles que diz que representa o povo infelizmente isso aí deixa muito claro que o que eles querem mesmo é manter o povo na miséria.
Maun my village
lets stop saying botswanans and call them BAtswana. BAtswana are the people of BOtswana. MOtswana is 1/ a single person from BOtswana
Its a complete mis presentation of our country
Bigger than france don't lie
I'm from botswana and the introduction killed me... "The land of Mere-cats and bush-man"<br>meanwhile I've never seen a mer-cat or bushman my whole life
I have been to Francis ..oh my goodness how i loved that town
Gambia will be more and more lucrative as FDI increase. As investor come into the country, the question to ask is where will they stay.
The People's of Botswana are called : B A T S W A N A .. and not ( BOTSWANANS ) .
I hope to immigrate to Botswana!
Most enjoyable. Thank you.
this is where we belong Africans
Not botswanans. BATSWANA Plural and Montswana Singular.
Those lions 😅
Chibuku is a local brew made out of fermented sorghum, NOT wild berries!!!
Something about this video just makes me so proud to be a Motswana from Botswana. 🥰🥰We are people of the desert and savanna. Botswana to the world!!🌍
From "morning onwards" they come here to chat and drink... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0p3uSXrkqA&t=1547">25:47</a>
Great documentary.<br>However, there is an error at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0p3uSXrkqA&t=2435">40:35</a> about the size of Chobe National Park. Libya is massive in terms of geography; and is in fact bigger than Botswana itself. The other countries you mentioned do fit the description of the national park in terms of size.
How beautiful <br>Never forget your traditions or history! <br><br>You have always been beautiful, I hope you stay that way
International economy country , it's really poverty & debting .....
I'm just wondering how old this documentary is. I've been living in Maun for more than eight years, and it's much more developed than what's shown in this documentary. I think it was filmed about 10 to 15 years ago.
@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0p3uSXrkqA&t=2088">34:48</a> hicho ni kiswahili wadau ama niko mavitu😂
🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼
Fast fact: South Africa has more Tswana speakers than Botswana, and nope they did not migrate to South Africa, completely South African…same with Swati and Sotho ( Eswatini and Lesotho)
The river in Namibia is known as Kavango river not Cubango please!!!
Восточный. Казакстан. Благодарю. Очень. Интересно❤❤❤❤
What do you mean Awkwardly
Thats amazing
What used to be the Caprivi strip in Namibia is now called the Zambezi Region. This change was introduced years ago.
Oh! My... They are talking about my African country of Botswana 🤗🤗🤗🤌🤌🤌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Saline
Citizens here are lucky
that beer is not chibuku. it is called "khadi" made from yes wild berries called mogwana or moretwa.
Any one watching from south Africa
and this looks old...thats an old botswana..come see it today😅
Completely dry? Misinformation!
I buy the elephants let me know
Estuve en Botwana en el 2001/2002. Hice dedo desde Zimbabwe hasta Maun! Cruce la frontera tripartita. Un dia maravilloso, que nunca volveré a vivir pero que siempre recordare. Ojala Dios me lleve a Africa para vez y muy pronto!
La ba utwa aker makgowa bare khadi ke chibuku🤣
Natural place documentory. I like it everytime
Why is this posted now coz it seems to be shot 10 years ago… the country has changed massively .. especially the city and towns shown here. Also some facts were exaggerated.Saying we only work in shops and services is a blatant lie… we do have manufacturing industries. Definitely not close to south africa but relative to the small population
@<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0p3uSXrkqA&t=1078">17:58</a> - re: Hieroglyph of Whale. Could there have been fresh water whale fossils strewn on the landscape following the drying out of lake?
❤ BEAUTIFUL PLACE 💯 ONE LOVE FRM JAMAICA 🇯🇲
There's more to Botswana than the Okavango delta and wildlife, but I can't blame you there isn't really much going on in the city that you could do a documentary on...maybe the nightlife or documenting some form of hustle...the whole wildlife thing is played out
Great documentary, keeping it real👍🧡
i really do trust in Mr Boko our southern region Traore..and Namib president
Botswana loos even poorer than before diamonds were discovered
A bit of correction at 23;52, Education is free in Botswana even at University. In fact at University/College, students get a monthly allowance of BWP 2,200 (around $160 monthly).
really i love Bostawana
They have adobted western style of living. The world underestimate globalization which isn't impressed as who buys what as long as selling is possible in any habitation, they will be there. Its not people adopting rather its merchants who are very good at exploiting viable markets. Botswana has more cattle than people. Think of that. Even a monkey knows there is money to be made there.
Some of the video clips were shot over a decade ago, you should have made the effort to get new ones.. also your narrations are carefully crafted to fit a certain narrative 😏
thanks for the documentary
beautiful country I wonna visit one day
Most welcome to Botswana 🇧🇼
This was interesting, I was born and raised in South Africa in the 70s and 80s, Botswana wasn't nearly that successful then.
برنامج ممتع يستحق التقدير والاحترام يعرف عن بوتستوانا البلد الافريقي ❤
Beautiful documentary. Only one sad thing is to see humans having encroached animal habitat. Not many years to come, their statues will be found in plenty in the streets of the town after the animals become extinct 😢😢😢😢😢. That's reality we humans have refused to accept.
The Herero live in Namibia, not in Botswana. Why is it that documentaries do not play music from the country they are describing instead of music from America!!!!!
Lovely
Very nice Documantary❤
19.4.202,6.Interesting videos <br>First class , fantastic, beautiful and wonderful pictures.👍💯🌹🌺🍁🏵️🥀🪴😈👿
This country that has my heart and I’ve never been there ❤ One day I’ll be home 😊
good documentary, well done, balanced.
I am from Bangladesh, watching 2nd time . It’s just beautiful.
Botswana is NOT a landlocked country. Do your research.
Wonderful documentary but this is not current as they have had incredible rains the past few years and all is green and lush all over. They could have explored the surrounding areas of Gaborone also a bit more. I lived there for many years and there is so much more than just the Delta to see
I love this. It’s great. I just think it’s marvelous that people adjust and modernize. I don’t hold onto the ways of the past of my culture we all grow and change. Their dance was absolutely beautiful. Their rhythmic micro movements are out of this world.
Not Mawn! Maun like Noun!
Home 🇧🇼
Murimi is also a kikuyu/meru name in Kenya
It's not Mon, it is pronounced as Maa..uuu....ngg...
Beautiful and prospering without drug lords, human traffickers, riots, looters destroying the country like so many are in the west.
❤ ❤ ❤ 😮 😮 😮
I enjoyed this documentary very much! The scenery, narrators voice and the music. I'm glad it's the least corrupt country and the people have overcome the hopelessness of poverty. But why are the Bush people despised and marginalized?
Country is very dry
The pronunciation of Maun is cracking me up everytime the narrator says it.
biutyfull, very interesting country and people, hope also the San and the wildlife will survive and respected also in future
Lots of details left out but beautifully told, well done 🤝🏾
Lol. 10,000 it was "a change in climate". Now it's the hysteria of climate change, global warming, etc. Such manufacturered angst over a perfectly normal phenomenon.
Even secondary school is free the abuti
This looks very outdated and doesn’t reflect the Botswana we live in today
Ke rona nebann
👍
I can tell you as a proud Motswana, that this documentary is YEARS old. And most of the stated facts here are not true …
How did this man come to the idea that we manufacture nothing? is almost he did not bother to any research
It's not completely dry. And it's not completly flat!
lies that is not chibuku but khadi
It saddens me when I hear you deliberately avoiding to mention Britain as the colonizers who brutally murdered the native people of Botswana! Botswana was colonized by the British in 1885, becoming the Bechuanaland Protectorate. The British divided the territory into tribal reserves for each of the major chiefs to rule, exercising limited direct control. The protectorate gained independence as the Republic of Botswana on September 30, 1966. Unfortunately like many African countries today, the Colonizers, now with the help of Americans, still own 95% of Botswana's wealth! America has the biggest military base here, enforcing their slavery foreign policy to plunder the country, keeping most of it's citizens extremely poor!
But then ur only showcasing the rural farm areas.hey u would b surprised.
🤔.
Please part 2
Some scenes gave me chills, especially those narrow and exposed paths
one matshelo a batho ko gae! Thanks for the feature free documentary.
Botswana is mainly known for its wildlife and the Okavango Delta, located in the heart of southern Africa.<br>But it also harbors many other natural wonders: millenary baobabs growing in the middle of dried salt lakes, deserts, mysterious rivers running along tectonic plates, and sumptuous crags decorated with rock paintings. The film also uncovers another asset of this fascinating country: its people, whose diversity and peaceful lifestyle are second to none in Africa, with the Bushmen among the most famous.
