Botswana, Escaping Drought | Deadliest Journeys

Ойын-сауық

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...

    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.

    @@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....

    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.

The country is semiarid it gets dry in some specific months of the year, I wonder why you decided to shoot the documentary during the dry season. This country was one the poorest in the world, it has worked it's a** of to be a middle income country.

    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.

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.

    As a Motswana I feel insulted by this documentary..Firstly it is not the human population that is encroaching on elephant territory it is the other way round..Around 2009 or so we put a halt to hunting or controlling the elephants because those in power at the time had invested heavily on tourism and wanted the elephants to increase..The problem with this is that the population of the said elephants more than doubled in a short spam of time which made an overcrowding of the elephant and putting stress on the conservatories which have been demarcated to them..These beast now have eroded the land and have put other wildlife at risk as they share the same space..We have a responsibility to conserve these other animals too.. The elephants now enter into human territory kill humans and deplete the grazing for our livestock..Stop this bullshit of thinking u know better about how we should take care of our wildlife when we have proven to implement among-st the best if not the best wildlife conservation practices..I think it is high time we document the truthful reality of our own affairs and stop these westerners from pushing their ignorant biases about our experiences.. As for the Bushmen; these are our people and we need them to have access to education, reliable and safe drinking water and get them to participate in the affairs of the country..We do not pride ourselves in seeing them being photographed as savages for your enjoyment..Stop it..Just stop it..Go make your Children to live in the caves like u used to if at all u value preserving undignified non progressive human existence..And with the guy who was travelling for hours why not just give him a lift and stop filming him from the comfort of ur car..STOP INSULTING US.
