This is the first in a series of three behind-the-scenes videos of our trip to Botswana in May 2021. In this episode, my brother-in-law Andy and I travel from Hermanus, near the Southernmost tip of Africa, to the Kalahari. We drive through the Karoo, enter the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, then take the 4x4 route across to Mabuasehube in Botswana. Early in the morning after our first night camping, a young male lion wanders into our campsite, gives us a fright, then walks into our tent and proceeds to rip up our things. We also film a very cute lion cub and see a brown hyena and spotted eagle owl in our campsite.
