12 - Jason Kennaugh - A successful self-drive safari

Beautiful Botswana - The Travel Podcast

Jason Kennaugh has deep family farming roots in Ghanzi, Botswana and after moving to Maun for his kids' schooling witnessed people needing help with recovery after getting stuck and so started 4x4 Bushwarrior recovery service. In this episode he shares what he learned through his years of Kalahari driving on the farm and then what he has learned about driving in the Delta after many rescues and recoveries. There are some similarities, tyre pressure being one of them, and some differences.
If you are intrigued by the idea of driving yourself through Botswana or want to drive the area with less wear on your car then listen to this episode where we discuss sand, mud and water driving and Jason shares the gadgets he uses the most.
Thank you to Martha and Kneen Charlton listening from the UK who asked for an episode on self-driving in Botswana. We have only touched on the technical vehicle stuff in this episode and more on campsites and camping tips will follow.
