EDITORIAL SUMMARY
Set in Namibia’s Etosha Heights Private Reserve, this Season 5 film follows Esso as he carries out his daily duties by motorcycle. The work takes in fencing, waterholes and the animals living across the reserve, with an unexpected encounter bringing three male lions into view.
About this film
This is the second part of an episode spent following Esso on his daily rounds. He rides around Etosha Heights to look after the fencing, check the waterholes and keep an eye on the animals. The film’s focus is on that working routine: a motorcycle journey shaped by practical tasks and the wildlife encountered along the way. It belongs to Itchy Boots’ Season 5, Southern Africa, and places a day in the reserve within the wider season’s motorcycle-travel setting.
The journey
Esso’s duties take him by motorcycle around Etosha Heights Private Reserve. During the ride, the encounter with three male lions becomes a striking turn in the day. The lions are difficult to spot while lying down, their camouflage blending them into their surroundings. The episode brings together the practical business of checking fencing and waterholes with the close wildlife encounter that gives this instalment its defining moment. Its route remains within the reserve, following Esso’s rounds rather than a described point-to-point journey.
What to expect
- Motorcycle rounds with Esso around Etosha Heights Private Reserve.
- A look at fencing and waterhole checks among his daily duties.
- An encounter with three male lions, hard to see while resting.
