Time is running out for Dr. Jon in Botswana. The team makes every effort to maximize his time left before his departure back to the ER in the States. Reality sets in on the dangers of the Okavango Delta, making going to the bathroom an adventure. Namibia looms ahead and the expedition picks up a new guest. So far, the Tacoma, Sequoia, and the Tundra are holding together better than the team’s schedule.

Woooow!! Wonderful.. Always warms my heart when Americans or Europeans who come to Africa with their CNN view of Africa realize the truth is actually the opposite. As a motswana this videos make me even prouder to call this part of the world HOME.. Thanks a lot for the great job u r doing showcasing the best of Africa to the world ❤️❤️

I would like to add to this, the pictures are absolutely amazing and some of the best ever. Love it very much. But the music a big missmatch to what I see. The nordic series had music which supported the pictures seen, however this series, the music is distracting and absolutely not needed and as said often misplaced. Sorry about that

You guys are a great sport. Loved how you embraced my home and seen the hospitality that we all collectively have inherently "UBUNTU". I am also pleased that you are showing Africa as it is, which is different from what the Naysayers portray us as. It broke my heart that a 13-year-old had a notion that Africa is bad and dark but there is a glimmer of hope that he first hand experienced it to change the narrative, however, there are many young ones out there globally who have not had the experience that changes that narrative but such videos do that well. Glad to hear you guys using our colloquial terms like "Braais, Sharp Sharp etc". Totally loved this journey with you guys and next time, just cater a few days more for the Port Process as there is at times unnecessary "Red Tape". But that is what we call "African Time", and after all... TIA(This is Africa) :)

I really wanted to meet you guys but unfortunately i am caught up right now. I stay in the capital city Gaborone but i got a ranch that side in the Okavango Delta. Next time yall come through let me know and we will host yall. If you guys need anything or come across any problems that side while you are there now, let mw know. My people will help you.

Really enjoying the series.... However, one point: No cocunut palms to be found in that part of the world.... The palm tree in question was a fan palm, Hypnaena petersiana, that has large nuts as a fruit that are irresistable to elephants. Coconut palms are a tropical coastal and island species never found naturally far inland in places such as the Okavango Delta. In fact in Southern Africa one would have to go to the Mozanmbique and far northern KwaZulu-Natal coastline to find any naturally-occurring coconut palms.... Extra point: the only other species of palm to be found in the Okavango Delta is the wild date palm, Phoenix reclinate, which is also a culinary delicacy for elephants....
