Beautiful video. But the best of all would be to let the animals there without disturbing them. So if you really love these animals do not go there and give them the rest they deserve.
From a birdlover here, I appreciate that you include them as well! One of my favorites things to do, is to go to the Kruger! Thank you for bringing the real Kruger experience to RU-vid!❤
Love your presentation👍 Your work deserves more praises, eventhough the viewership has alot of room for improvement. And that's because SA has not tapped our market here in S.E.A. yet. There is much work to be done for SA Tourism.
Thank you for sharing. There is very little information on South Africa available in this part of the world where I live. I’m planning a self drive trip around September25, I’m just wondering if it’s safe to drive from Port Elizabeth north to Malelane Gate? Where would you recommend a safe break in the journey?
Brilliant. You have seen many lions. I visited Serengeti national park last year and saw more than 45 Lions, May I know the camera gears you are using ?
Hi Dennis thank you for the great comment! Wow that’s amazing! I would love to visit the Serengeti one day! Have you been to the Kruger NP before? I use a canon Eos r and 100-400mm lens, gear from 2018.
@@RichardvanHaght Thanks mate. Never visited Southern part of Africa. It is in my list to visit Vic Falls, Okavango delta and Kruger NP. This is a dream trip for me. I hope it will come true one day :)
Thanks for the sub! I really appreciate the input! I will work on it going forward I am very grateful for the feedback you have given me! Thank you! Cheers!
Great video Richard. It must have been hot camping in your tent? We always caravaned in winter. Loved the music. Not loud thumping like some idiots and also when you spoke none at all, which is how it should be. Man but you guys saw lions. Yes Satara is definitely the camp for lions, especially S100. We haven't been since 2018 after many years of going there. Retired now. Hope you youngsters have many more years of going there.
Hi Neil thank you for the kind comment! Yes it was hot camping with the dome tent but evening temperatures were cool and pleasant, so we tried to avoid the campsite as much as possible during the day. Especially during the summer months! We were very lucky with the lions I’ve been to Satara before where I’ve had only distant visuals… You are right the S100 is definitely the place for lions in that area! They seem to love the N’wanetsi River that meanders next to the road! I hope you get back to Satara soon, it’s definitely one of the most special places in the Kruger. There are many special memories from visits to the camp over the years. Again thank you for the comment Neil, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Nice to meet you!
Thanks for appreciating the method, I started the channel to teach others the names of birds and get others into bird watching but haven’t made a proper birding video in a few years… the channel has changed a lot since then haha.
I’m sure I had sightings of her in December and January but I didn’t have my camera so I can’t be certain. Very sad if she isn’t around anymore.. Moya her mother was apparently 14 years of age when she was last seen, Amira would have only been 6…
@@RichardvanHaght I spent a few days at the end of December / early January with a female a few km south of Ngotso Dam that had a kill, that I really thought was her, but I compared her spots with Amira and sadly it wasn't. I also saw the male cub a few times around Ngotso North during that time. No luck with Amira though.
I think I was seeing the male cub around Ngotso North on the afternoon of the 31st of December and then on the 2nd or 3rd of January he had a steenbok in a tree in the same area…
@@RichardvanHaght Ja we also got him on the 31st. A friend of mine was with him on the kill a couple of days later. He seems to favor that area now. You'll hardly find him on the S147 these days.
We were probably at the same sighting haha! A month ago I saw him on the s147 and just south walking to and from Nyahmiri waterhole. Also saw a bigger male 3km south of the s147. Maybe Amira is higher up the S147…
Awesome video. A perfect way to spend a Sunday morning in England! Great to see a video from August time as we are heading into the park at that same time for 2 weeks. Loved your bird sightings. Which app are you using to mark them off as you go?
Awesome video! My wife and I are also wildlife enthusiasts and we have been itching to visit Kruger. Can you perhaps do a video on how much you budget for a trip. Keep up the great content!!
Hi thank you for watching and enjoying the video! These were 1 night stays and we were camping which is R450 per night. If you have other questions just ask me.
You guys were incredibly lucky... and to have so few cars around your sightings is pretty much unheard of. Amazing quality footage. I'd love to know what camera/s you were using.
Well, you are both so lucky with the cats, and as ever you get some great birds - well done. We are there for about 6 weeks next January, so hopefully we have as much luck as you. That trip is especially to try and see birds, though there's plenty of other things to see. Thanks for another really interesting video!
