Fearless BUSHMEN first FLIGHT - Long Way South E15

We are nearing the end of our journey flying down through Africa, and for the last few days we are joined by 3 other Sling aircraft to celebrate our arrival. Join us for a few days of fun with this vibrant gang, visiting the Kalahari Meerkats, riding horses over the salt pans, and even flying with the indigenous San people! A Botswana experience we will never forget!!

    My father on a safari in Botswana 1974 was very lucky to meet 3 Bushmen. They noticed his cigarettes and wanted to trade.So they gave him a bow with arrows for it. 4 pack’s we’re gone in like 15 minutes 😂 They had never smoked until that moment 😂 This story is still told on birthdays and special family moments after he sadly past away. Told this In honor of Dad ❤

I cant even imagine what they were thinking when they've rarely been in a car. I'm sure they've seen planes fly over but never thought they would be in one. I'm sure they will remember this day and the story will be told for many generations. Absolutely incredible you guys!

    Yep, that statement that was made about the Bushmen also known as the San people being one of the oldest tribes in the world is very true. As a South African I can confirm there are many caves all over the Southern parts of Africa, that have their ancestors rock drawings that was carved in the rocks, thousands of years ago. They are small of stature and their incredible knowledge of edible plants, herbs, trees, etc, are simply mind blowing. Unfortunately they are a dying culture as many of them off have adopted the western style of living, after they have survived on the vast African continent for thousands of years.

The bushmen definitely need to have their traditions protected in light of the risks they face from interference and their birth land being taken away from them. So this is awesome! Brining the world of aviation to the Bushmen and bringing the Bushmen to the world!

    Hi Rosita, I'm from Cologne, Germany and I'm currently flying around South Africa from the 13th of March to the 17th of April ... I really like your videos ... as I had originally thought about flying my own Cirrus (N246PV) from Germany to Lanseria. But as a single pilot, I decided to take a C182 from here, which I'm now flying from Pretoria to Namibia, then north to the Angolan border, and from there east via Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi to Mozambique. So thank you for all your great impressions of the region ... all the various airfields and bush strips, landscapes, people as well as the overall freedom of flying down here are absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to your upcoming videos!
