- Living the Overlander’s Dream. Source of the Okavango 4x4 Expedition, part 19. African Drums
As we continue further east, the track becomes more and more difficult to follow. It looks as if the water lever is higher than we expected, and could even be a record. Water, water everywhere, and it's all drinkable. The flood is beyond all expectations, and threatens the entire expedition as our path is repeatedly blocked. The convoy, lead by Kalahari expert Mike Main, is trying to reach the Selinda Spillway, a channel that only runs every ten years or more. But the tracks are meters under water. Among all the challenges we experience a real taste of African life. This is part-19 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.

The Marimba band. Brought tears to my eyes, just demonstrates how much joy, beauty and creativity is there within every human, it just needs to be nurtured and given the means to be expressed. If only leaders and people with power to influence could take the opportunity to help people in the spirit of that schools founder the world would be a much better place. Their legacy would also shine brighter than any war, mega yacht or vanity project they might create.
Once again a great story about a great adventure! Really enjoy all your videos!
I absolutely smiled all the way through the marimba band segment! What a treat! I must return to Africa soon.
The story behind the school, encapsulated by the Marimba band, brought me to tears. Thank you Andrew for putting together this amazing series and highlighting how lucky we are and how much we take for granted every day.
Kind regards, Dan
