Into Wild Lion Country: Mabuasehube Botswana Overlanding (Wild Side of Mabua Ep 1)

Mabuasehube Botswana overlanding, alone in real lion country. In Part 1 of Wild Side of Mabua we leave the tar at Skilpadshek, cross from South Africa into Botswana and run the KD/12 cutlines, setting up the first wild camp on the long way to Jack's Pan in the remote Mabuasehube Game Reserve, deep in the Kgalagadi.
