The Soul of Botswana - a film by Roland Steffen

“You will never be able to leave Africa. It will always remain in your heart.”

This film documents the experience of a mobile safari in the Okavango Delta, Botswana in 2022.

All video and photo footage on land and in helicopters were taken between the end of May and the beginning of June 2022 in Botswana in the area of Chobe River, Savuti, Khwai Consession, Moremi Game Reserve and the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan by Roland Steffen.

Moremi Game Reserve - part four of our mobile safari in Botswana

Moremi Game Reserve - part four of our mobile safari in Botswana

We spent the last three days of our Mobile Safari in the Okavango Delta at the Moremi Game Reserve. This is probably the most famous part of the Okavango Delta - and rightly so! Moremi Game Reserve is all about the big animals. Perfectly adapted to life on the water, antelope graze next to watchful buffalo on riverine meadows framed by mighty trees reaching into the sky, from whose branches leopard tails and paws dangle with relish.

After three eventful days in Savuti, we drove further south to the Khwai Concession Game Reserve, where we spent another three days in a fantastic landscape on land and waterways. The Khwai Concession is a region in the north-eastern Okavango Delta boasting an impressive fauna. It is a superb alternative to the Moremi Game Reserve, which can be visited all year around.

Chobe River - The beginning of a wonderful journey

Chobe River - The beginning of a wonderful journey

Our journey in Botswana began at the end of May 2022 in Kasane, more precisely at this legendary Chobe River. Botswana, like many other countries, still suffers from the pandemic or the lack of guests. For us, this was of course positive, because Kasane is otherwise overrun by tourists, as the Vic Falls are also a stone's throw away.

Botswana - one week to go - the gear is ready!

Botswana - one week to go - the gear is ready!

After long weeks of optimization my photo and film equipment for Botswana is finally ready. When flying to Africa the size of the equipment is always a compromise between professional demand and allowed weight. In Botswana the small planes always have a weight limit and I always have too much weight...personally and in the bag ;-)
