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…

Since when is July a summer month in Botswana? 19 km in two days? Made by Americans for Americans. Only wows and exaggerations.
This man is wise, like drags, alcohol is the biggest one, and this is one the most beautiful cultures, hate to see it gone.
As if that farmers life isnt hard enough, a bunch of elephants just vandalise his property, destroy the trees, free the goats and steal the water. Then theres drought, all kind of predatory animals. Think of this man next time you face issues in your life.
botswana is not for weak am proud of kenya
Why do drivers pass by without being helpful to that chap walking such a long distance? Are they ignoring him perhaps choosy on such a dia circumstances? 😢 <br><br>We are one in Africa I'm here in SA but watching this clip I don't see any difference among us SA, Botswana, Zim, Mozambique and other sister countries. <br><br>We as Africans have a long way to go... One of the weapons utilised to conquer us was and still education, I'm not saying hunger is ok no I'm thinking ahead as to change the entire status core. 😢
This is NOT Botswana at all!
Bias ,Botswana if more
TOYOTA頑張ってるやん
I’m wondering why they don’t have water tanks and dams?
I'm from South Africa and I wish South Africa's leaders could be like Botswana's leaders.
Phor phucksake- Botswana is a land of drought. Get over it.
I don't need to be from Botswana to know that a 19km bus journey taking 2 days is an outright lie. It's blatant lies like this that make me question what else is inaccurate 😢
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKoM5UYQxcs&t=1227">20:27</a> This was in 2022, in 2024 and 2025 Botswana got 3 and 4 times its average rainfall. They experienced massive flooding the last 2 years. The climate has cooled as well lowering their average summer temperatures by an average of 4°C.<br>And 2026 is looking to be even wetter still with even lower temperatures.<br>Climate change, not global warming.
And the malaysian university named Limkokwing takes evil advantage of the poor in Botswana, the corrupt Botswana ministry of education pays Limkokwing university per Botswanan student from the Botswanan government funds, but when 70% of the Botswanan students don't exist (called ghost students) the minister of education takes 10% for each fake student and the corrupt malaysian university takes the other 90%. We are talking about 100s of thousands of dollars stolen from the people of Botswana when they need those funds the most.<br>Look it up, this is a fact, this same so called university does the very same scam in Lesotho and Zimbabwe. <br>Stealing badly needed infrastructure funds from these poor nations by encouraging and utilizing the corruption of some members of government. <br>Limkokwing is pure evil.
ive never lacked water the rest of my 28 years in botswana
wow, where are the batswana in this documentary i thought they were lying when they say these guys pick the poorest parts of a country for their documentaries, should have started in Gaborone. Thank god for ishowspeed. Im a motswana by the way, in Botswana.
These people are the ones that are trying to survive
Horse 💩
Where did all that USAID $$ go?
Over heated it, thats the engine noise. It's toast
But still have plenty of kids.
Damn that sun for warming the planet again. Does it through cycles. Some areas are actually cooler, especially night temps which points at the sun. One of many things that point at the sun.
That old toyota pickup would be 15000$ here in quebec 😂
May god make it easy for them.
Very interesting !!!!
The old hunter gatherer had knowledge but no one listens when they are drunk.
As usual the westerners have to come to Africa and india and show that it's so poor typical of westerners
Blame blame blame
I have been a fan of these documentaries..but have had my doubts that oversell some staff, and today you proved it..Botswana has not had a drought in ages<br>And Botswana relies not only on the delta, there are diamonds mainly, agriculture 2ndly and a whole lot other,,and Botswana has very robust and tarred roads..daaamn you should see our luxury busses..you would be jealous..<br>And what the helle part of Botswana is that..even People from as Deep as the Etsha villages have proper transportation....
Even after all these drought issues their govt can take the initiative and go for cloud seeding like how they do in China and Dubai. This might solve their problems.
Stupid guy should of traded a few fish to be driven all the way home instead of letting the fish rot on the way home
🛑🛑🛑This land is clearly cursed by the God, the people need to turn away from worshipping false gods and idols and the land will flourish and be bountiful. But they have to repent and submit to the one and only true God (Jesus Christ)
But 2023/2025 the Southern of Africa experienced floods and Botswana even had floods reports in the Kalahari desert. Not disputing the harsh conditions experienced in the settlements but makes one wonder if the settlements are gorvened settlements or where the civilians had initially allocated themselves land from different nearby developed and well established villages and the gorvt left them do their will for their peacesake which is common here as its socialist and democratic dependent country and WHEN WAS THIS SHOT??
July in Botswana is not the peak of summer but the last month of winter.
You know when you hear the eagle cry out it’s gonna be a good episode
🙄😵💫
God bless America.
29 hours is it true
This tribe is lucky to be only chased away, Who knows how many tribes we've massacred just for their land and ressources. We're a sad specie
Lol.. Dramatic much? This was just to appease the 'omg Africa lives in complete poverty' crowd, pfftt
All these lies about my country 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🇧🇼🇧🇼‼️
Africa this situation all credit goes to western countries
klíma hiszti
a pile of bullshit narrated about Africa.
What language are the people in that taxi speaking
This documentary simply justifies why call our currency "Pula", why our national slogan is "Pula", why we so much value rain, why a typical Motswana lifestyle is highly dependant on availability of rain. It is a complete testament to that.
I watched about 15 of these documentaries, and I didn't see feminism anywhere. Can you believe it?😅😅😅😅
That’s not a very good place to be raising cattle, or people for that matter.
Torokhal nagn goor yeup
to clarify the San are banned from leaving "designated area" there is no such infact a lot of effort has been made to entegrate the san into society as some still prefere their way of life
I wish you cold take some of our rain bless up from 🇬🇧
Ja die Kalahari is lekker!
Life in certain parts of Africa is very Harsh and Cruel yet Beautiful.<br><br>Watching and commenting from Somali Land Horn of Africa East Africa.
LIES
Just to clarify, the San /Bushmen are not banned to leave their areas of residence
Mr don’t mislead the viewers
Wow amazing documentary 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼home country and home boy❤❤❤
we need to learn from the the middle east , we have the resources , we just need mindset change
Kehidupan yang sulit dan tidak mudah, namun saya berharap sungai kembali mengalir dan padang pasir menjadi hijau
The Narattor really over exeggarates everything , I heard Him Say its july the peak of summer , and thats a lie , and the translation is not 100% , im just lucky i speak the language even if im not from botswana ... but we need proper analysis on these documentaries
The road is poorly maintained 😂😂😂 whaaat? Where is the road and when was the first time of its maintenance at all 😅
Guys you need more solar power vehicles. They do not break down for overheating this easy because the engine is no based on heat.
This is the apocalypse.
July peak of summer ? 🤔 or do you mean Northern hemispheric summer?
Lol I saw on the thumbnail motho o tshwere court ya black label and I just clicked 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amazing, Botswana people are very hardworking
Damn bro , I'm the kid beeping with the wire car , this was back in 2014 bruhhh, the drought period is not frequently
What a heart-touching way of life.
Life as we know it in Botswana u either adapt or leave ……the Kgalagadi is a semi arid desert and tuff as it seems we survive…..😊
Donald Trump,Elon Musk and Bill Gates if they want they can help Africa
Our problem in Africa are the leaders that country is rich with diamonds but they can not even build new roads for the local people its sad
Me being a South African Tswana it's interesting how much I can relate to their way of life and just how I don't experience any sort of culture shock irrespective of our differing struggles
They require boreholes
Two days to travel for 19 kilometres by car?
Your stories contradict each other. Zero to little truth about ur documentary.
Animals are a problem the government can help with
South africans with all our problems we must be gratefull.
African leaders should be smart. Botswana Government should get the sea to Botswana from South Africa or Namibia, it possible by trenches
When a hyena volunteers to tell the story, all the animals are weak, injured or just pathetic😂
July is the peak of summer in Botswana ?
ปลุกมัน(ระวังหมูกิน) เผือก เลี้ยงไก่(ระวังเสือกิน) น้ำๆwater ❤
One of the worst countries in Africa, there are more cattle then people but beef are way more expensive compared to South Africa. No gmo seed allowed in the country but there isn't enough food. Pandamatenga must feed a whole country. How rediculas
This not Botswana
Hee mona am tired😂😂😂😂
This isn't a blue lie I'm from Zimbabwe staying in Botswana there's nothing like this you are misleading people
Don’t shoot the elephants old man!
There may be a lot of catfish in the lake, however, catfish tastes nasty. It has a strong muddy taste & leaves a lasting fishy taste in your mouth long after it’s consumed. Yuk!
Hi everyone I think I've watched all this episodes except two .one where the mini flight was flying just above the bus and the one with the truck on mountain with the blue taupalin as a canopy. I only see those clips on intro please link them under my comment.
Y'all are just plain dramatic! I mean, a simple Google search would have told you guys that, "The Kalahari desert makes up 70% of Botswana's land area." So it is very sensationalist to come here and say a desert is suffering from a "severe" drought just because there is a certain narrative y'all wanna push.
damn. Shoutout to them for the struggle fr fr. Like damn
كيف الهروب من جفاف 😂
Business seems to be good for the fishermen while the mud has not dried up
Wrong message! Human contribution in climate change is only 5% or less.
They dramatize everything to get more viewzz. Nothing new here. Pure capitalism
Yes everything is bad nobody likes anything everybody has an opinion
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.
The only way to remove poverty is to bring infrastructure and build roads to these people, rest of the world mainly Europe n America people wont complain after seeing this documentary.
When the san bushman changes then Botswana is in a threat of losing its identity!!! 🤔<br>Like like when your grandparents stopped wearing viking horns
그나라당국은 불쌍한동물과 인간 의식주를<br>해결해주던가 돈을지불하던가해야재 큰일이다<br> 도와주면 좋겠는데 너무불쌍해서어떻해
