Sketchy Adventures in Botswana

A 20-page illustrated travel comic by Taria Dawson
Digital Edition • A5 PDF • Instant Download

Join me on a 1,500 km road trip from Johannesburg into northern Botswana—through dust roads, giant skies, elephants, river crossings, and all the small unexpected moments that make a journey unforgettable.

This mini-comic is part travel diary, part sketchbook, part gentle reflection on what it means to slow down, look closely, and draw the days as they unfold.

Drawn in ink, watercolour, and iPad sketches, Sketching Botswana blends on-location drawings with comic-style sequences to capture quiet mornings, wildlife encounters, muddy mishaps, and the simple magic of being on the road.

Inside the 20-page booklet you’ll find:







A mix of on-location watercolour sketches and digital travel comics

Scenes from Elephant Sands, the Makgadikgadi Pans, Chobe National Park, Nata Bird Sanctuary, and more

The story of a VERY dramatic river crossing (involving multiple vehicles, lots of mud, and one person who needed to catch a flight!)

Observational moments from early mornings, campfires, open roads, and wildlife sightings

My first step into the world of graphic narratives

Why I made this
This was my first experiment in turning a real trip into a visual narrative. I wanted to capture the rhythm of the road—the calm bits, the chaotic bits, the funny bits—and the way sketching helps me slow down and really see a place.

Creating this booklet taught me so much, and I hope it inspires you to pick up a sketchbook, take a trip, or simply look a little more closely at the world around you.
