- Living the Overlander’s Dream. Source of the Okavango 4x4 Expedition, part 24. Lake Ngami
Having spend an incredible time in the depths of the Okavango Delta, its time to get back on the road, to follow the waters of the Okavango. We must find the Nabe and the Boteti Rivers. But its the Boteti that takes the water further south, after it fills Lake Ngami. The last time I visited Lake Ngami in 1988 is was dry. But this year, its already so full, we can't find the original lake shore. The floods levels are unprecedented, and hasn't been this high in 30 years. This is part-24 of a 26-part series.
"This is some of the best adventure travel TV I've ever made, and remains the best expedition I have yet undertaken." Andrew S White.
An epic 4x4 overland expedition where Andrew St Pierre White goes on a quest to find the source of the Okavango River. This river, as it turns out, is also the source of his love of overland travel and expedition life.
This series of videos is a nostalgic look at what made an English boy fall in love with Africa and Toyota Land Cruisers. Andrew retraces his steps recalling the time when having been taken to the Okavango. This 66-day expedition is a solo trip through Namibia, Angola and Botswana. Andrew is one of a very small group of TV adventures that is not backed up by a team of TV crew and their supporting entourage. Andrew truly goes it alone.
In the upcoming programs, Andrew reaches the Kunene, the river dividing Namibia with Angola to its north, he meets a group of travellers waiting to take him into Angola. His quest is to find the source of the Okavango, deep in the highlands. He then carries with his a bottle of water from its source, all the way, deep into the Okavango Delta. In the final episode, in the final trickle in a riverbed, he then watches as his water disappears into the desert, deep in the Kalahari. An epic tale of overland adventure.

I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. Once again an excellent and most inspiring video. Greetings from Cape Town.
Andrew have you been to Arusha, Tanzania.....Its like everyone in the city owns a land cruiser.
+tim 1194 As it happens, planning a trip there this year.
Was in Lake Ngami last year Dec. 2017.... All its left is dead trees.... Spooky look
Back in 88 you had better wheels , I love your videos but your shots of the land Cruzzzzzzzzzer put me to sleep haha
Keep up the good work and deep down you love Land Rover
I do. Its true. But the Defender is no longer suitable for my kind of travel. Far too much time needed to keep them ready for expedition travel. I remember it well. Weeks and weeks of prep work before any trip trip, over two decades. No thanks. I have found an alternative that i love equally that does not require late nights in the workshop to keep them expedition ready.
Any lung fish there?
u almost ran over that dog!
No water before bushes are green, now there's a lot of water trees are brown???
What did you use back in '88 to shoot the footage with?
+Don Leamon Sony EX3 with standard Fujinon lens.
Panasonic VHS camera
Who the f gave this a thumbs down??
at 4 mins in did you try to run the dog over
+Hugh Harvey If I had tried, i reckon I would have succeeded :-)
+Hugh Harvey dogs, chickens, donkeys, cows etc are common obstacles on Botswana's roads. One takes them in stride. Never hit one yet.
