Guys your video came up in my feed. I have extensively travelled in Botswana and i live in South Africa. Any questions please get un touch. Happy to help anyway i can. Botswana is awesome
Thank you! That is super kind of you, Amol. Would you know anything about the permits needed for drones and the kind of two-way radios we're allowed to carry in Botswana?
I thought I had replied but it's gone missing. As a rule drones are not allowed in national parks. I have observed that it does affect animal behaviour too so I have never pursued trying to get permission for one. Zartek do a walkie talkie but I think they need a license in Botswana. You can get an amateur version in South Africa. The claimed line of sight range is 3-5km but in practice it's more like 1km given the landscape and habitat with trees etc
@@amolkarnik9709 thanks - yeah, so we're leaving our drones behind. Even outside of flying in Protected Areas, I think taking a drone to Botswana requires permits + visiting a local police station to submit finger prints, etc. We haven't budgeted time for that, maybe the next time.
Very interesting and very well explained. Thank you!!!
Thanks!
Super interesting and helpful, Anuroop! All the best!
Thanks Santosh! Glad you found it useful :)
Safe travels and good luck. Hope you get to make images to your hearts content. Look forward to the stories from this trip.
