My Forever Heartache: Four Years of Discovery with the Kalahari Bushmen

In 1994 entrepreneur and award-winning businessman Bernard Horton decided to give up the rat race and all the trappings of wealth in order to follow his heart and live among the Bushman people of Botswana’s western Kalahari.

He bought and converted an ex-military Land Rover 101” Forward Control (known to the Bushmen as Ibope from the distinctive sound of the V8 engine), and set about driving all the way from Durban in South Africa to Maun, Botswana - still a dusty frontier town in those days.

My Forever Heartache is the fascinating story of Bernard’s four-year adventure which saw him become one with these gentle and inspirational people, who still live in harmony with mother nature as they have done for thousands of years.
