An EPIC 15000km road trip to the SERENGETI National Park - Africa Travel Documentary PART I

In January 2011, exactly nine years before I started this YouTube Channel, my best friend, JI de Wet and I, embarked on an epic 15000 km road trip from Pretoria in South Africa to the Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania. It was the ultimate overlanding adventure and I’m happy to have finally gotten around to editing the footage we had collected to create my first African Travel Documentary on The Safari Expert YouTube Channel.

By the way, the awesome music used in the documentary was licensed from Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/mkaudu/

We had dreamed of seeing the Great Migration in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park for years so we decided to pack our bags and travel through Africa for 70 days, visiting all wildest and most iconic game reserves and national parks between South Africa and the Serengeti National Park along the way. This African travel documentary only covers the first half of our journey and includes visits to Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, Hwange National Park, Lake Kariba and the Victoria Waterfalls in Zimbabwe and a number of game reserves and parks in Tanzania, including Selous Game Reserve, Tarangire National Park and, ultimately, the Serengeti National Park.

It not only documents all the scenic places we visited and beautiful animals we saw there, but so focuses on the amazing and interesting people we met along the way, as well as the fun we had traveling together… Highlights in this African travel documentary include searching for lions in Hwange, white water rafting on the mighty Zambezi River, tiger fishing on Lake Kariba and relaxing in the crystal clear water of Kapishya Hot Springs in Zambia. We also saw sixteen lion cubs in the road one morning and took a bucket list hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti National Park.
