- Botswana’s Okavango Delta: one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Join me for an unforgettable bucket list trip to Khwai, on the eastern side of the Okavango Delta.
The best thing about it? I spend 2 nights at a black-owned luxury safari camp. @africanbushcamps was started by Beks Ndlovu, a former safari guide from Zimbabwe. ABC has over 15 stunning camps and lodges in 3 countries.
Check out Khwai Leadwood - the camp featured in the video: hubs.la/Q01h4YBP0

The Delta is paradise on earth, the most beatiful place in Africa in my opinion!
This is absolutely beautiful video about my own country. I am from Botswana and also share a love for safari travel and I am a Wildlife Photographer. Beks Ndlovu, founder of African Bush Camps really outdid himself with this Khwai Leadwood Camp and I was stoked when I first saw its reviews and gallery. After watching this I am more determined to visit it soon. Kudos for giving black owned places a shout. Im a happy to see one of our own making it
Thanks so much for this nice comment! I’m so happy to hear that you found the video uplifting especially as it’s about your home country
ahh its so cool black owned, and by a former guide!! i think its so special that u highlight businesses by locals instead of giant international companies
This felt like I'm watching a cool version of National Geographic!!! This is brilliant and inspiring to know from Ranger to Luxury lodge owner!!
Thanks my dear! Next trip loading
Thank you for sharing! Nice to see such perspective from an African like me! Karibu Kilimanjaro, Tanzania 🇹🇿, my home town! 🙏
Indeed, beautiful Africa, beautiful 🇧🇼 Botswana, I am a proud motswana , everyone is welcome in our beautiful country.
Beautifully captured and produced. Reminds me of my safari trip to Zambia. The Southern African landscape is just breathtaking
Glad it brought back good memories!

Thanks for sharing Sara! Absolutely beautiful!
Wonderful video and we are headed to Botswana for the first time in early May - soon. Wonderful camp and we have chosen Desert and Delta camps because of their eco and cultural ethos. I will also welcome some warm weather coming from the UK. Can't wait. thank you for your website and videos.
The songs at the end are simply the icing on the cake. WOW...what a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.

This looks so peaceful! I'd like to book a flight, but I'm kind of hesitant about the whole malaria thing. Also, I need a customized trip for my children.
Brilliant.

Thanks for the support, as always
don't mention it.
Beautiful, thank you for your video.
This is my dream and project to go there with my family
There were many families there and the kids really enjoyed it!
Liebe Sarah mit deinem Beitrag von Botswana bin ich so begeistert und habe mich durch mein bisschen Englisch können so durchgestolpert aber die Bilder sagen alles aus ich danke dir von Herzen
Liebe Regine, danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast! Es freut mich sehr, dass dir das Video gefallen hat 🧡
Best place in the world, really don’t need your money out here. We love life
You haven't flown "little" until you've been in a 2-seater. A pilot friend of mine took me up over Puget Sound and we did barrel rolls and flew upside down. It was hella fun!! But I'm not scared of flying. My uncle was a pilot and I was only 3 the first time I flew. I fell in love with it immediately. ❤🛩❤
I was infact with my family, just there in June, I am trying to hold onto every memory of Khwai that I can, thank you for the upload!
I also wonder if you have any of the other things they sung?
Oh, I so know the feeling! Wonderful memories ✨
Is it not this song at the end so touching. Thank you for the video. how amazing that yuu use a small camera but gave good quality footage
Thanks for watching until the end! Glad you enjoyed the song as much as I did :)
Beautiful video! I have family in Botswana and every time I visit this incredible country I make the awful mistake of returning to miserable England. This video makes me homesick of the country I really want to live in.
I can only imagine! Happy to hear the video brought back good memories.
One of the most beautiful spots on this planet! Elizabeth Taylor got married to Richard Burton here.😍
The north of the Botswana is sub-tropical, so winters are mild . It's a lot colder in the south and west, where winter nights and mornings regularly dip below freezing. Generally, the country has a semi-arid desert climate, so you get extremes in temperatures. Very hot summer afternoons can reach 40 degrees Celcius; very cold winter nights can go as low as minus 8 degrees Celcius. 😊
Nice 👍and looking lovely ladie🌷
What a fantastic video. It felt like we got to go on this wonderful trip with you😃 Thank you for sharing this black-owned resort and your time in Botswana with us. Looking forward to many more of these types of videos!!
Thanks my friend 🤗 Belize next!!
Your footage almost looks like 4K. You're really talented. You could be on any major tv network.
Thanks so much! 🙌🏽
This was a great view of Botswana. Thank you! Do you have a list of black owned hotels in Zanzibar?
Good question. I haven’t verified any but will try to for an upcoming video
YYYAHHZZ!!!
Thank you for documenting this beautiful experience and great country👌👌👌❤how much did the whole experience cost?
Thank you! 🙏🏽 I’ll be real with you… it’s expensiiive. I was lucky to get the SA resident rate plus an additional partnership discount. African Bush Camps is so worth it though ✨
Im only 1 minute in and this is literally a movie - holy cow
Finished - that song at the end was a perfect ending.Great job, I wanna be like you when I grow up, honestly
Dadaaa thanks so much! I can’t wait for our next video together
I wish to see it also heish
Hi, awesome accommodation! Did you use a tour company and what month did you go?
I visited in July and it was a nice escape from cold Joburg 😊 Everything was directly booked with and planned by African Bush Camps. They’re great!
Amazing safari, amazing video, and I like the music，Can you tell me the name of the music in the video?
Oh glad you like the music. It’s from Epidemic Sound
Maun, my hometown
This is a brilliant presentation. I like your safari very much. Do you have the name of this company for us to use? Filming is great. Do you have a team to do the filming?
Thank you! The company is African Bush Camps. I do the filming and editing myself.
@@sarajabril Many thanks. This is so good, you could easily get a slot in a TV channel.
Great video.
The black owned hotels guide link doesn’t work though.
Thanks for letting me know. Should be fixed now!
@@sarajabril thank you
Nice video sara...so happy to know that thats a black owned lodge...
So happy you enjoyed it!
🐘🧡
Welcome home 😁. Nicely done video. Maun is my hometown btw
Beautiful home you’ve got!
@@sarajabril thanks.. you are most welcome even to come visit again 😁
Awesome. Don't underestimate black people
How was traveling solo to Botswana?
I loved it! African Bush Camps made everything very easy for me
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
can't believe you re 54!😳
Okavango delta is nothing in front of you❤
You are so cute baby❤
U also u need to come u country Somalia to show the people how somalia is beautiful 🫶🏽🇸🇴
It’s high on the list!
WOW! Leopards in the wild mating. What a rare privilege you have had!
Nature is just beautiful 🤩
Why the specification, is Botswana's tourism industry dominated by non-blacks?
Yes, not just Botswana.
@@sarajabril 😬
Sarah, I want to talk to you.
BLACKOWNED need to be more commonly used
Black owned? What’s the significance in a travel video? Keep the racism out of travel. Not cool!
If racism was kept out of travel, there would be more black/ locally-owned hotels in Africa.
I don't like you answer Sara, I LOVE it. 🤩🤣
