Awesome video and recap of your safari Lance! Yes EP is definitely amazing value for money with unbelievable sightings I did a 3 night/4 day safari there in November last year and it was nothing short of spectacular Leopard wise we saw 8 different individuals (Tiyani, her blue eyed cub that was killed about 3 weeks later, Xidulu, Nhenhe, Tlalamba, Xitsalala, Tortoise Pan, Laluka) with 11 Leopard sightings in total! Good lion sightings as well with walk bys after dark of the Nkuhumas and the Talamati breakaways. And one sighting of one of the Black Dam males I compared the spot pattern etc of that male leopard that you guys saw on your afternoon drive on day 4 to my footage of the Xitsalala male and it does indeed look like it was him that you saw. He likes the Buffelshoek area.
I've never done a South Africa safari, but as a photographer I think I would go insane from hearing that I have to wait in a queue at a sighting or that an animal moved into a neighboring property and we couldn't follow.
Luckily they have their radios in their ears so you would never know :D It goes both ways though... as a photographic guide its our job to manage the "queues" and get in at the right time for the best activity. The properties are large, so its only really the dogs that are constantly in or out. Beats being in a sighting with 85 vehicles behind the animals :D
Fantastic images and video. Maybe just something small, the video shows a high percentages of you talking. It just felt to long and I eventualy scrolled to the images and videos. Still I enjoyed the information and the video. Thank you!
@@PantheraPhotoSafaris I actually liked the talking and explaning everything. Probably cause I've been to Sabi Sands a few times, so I'm familiar with the different properties and individual leopards and lion prides. And also because I'm inquisitive and like to know EVERYTHING 😊
@@jackieboshoff2013 Thanks Jackie. I will try and find a better balance of talking and images / video :D Its difficult to do a trip report without talking too much haha.
What an amazing safari, leopard sightings galore. Tiyani, Xidulu, Nhenhe and more What a buzz and those Plains Camp males are so strong and healthy looking. Poor lioness. Really enjoyed this vid, thank you.
My heart almost stopped when I saw how close Nhenhe was to those lions. Glad he was ok. You got some beautiful shots, sounds like it was a brilliant trip!
It was an amazing experience, one that we will never forget. It was so good that we are going back next year! Thank you Lance! And a great recap of the trip! I suspect it will be about 6 months till I get the chance to edit my videos 😂
Really useful. I'm heading to a hide in the UK to photograph Kingfishers next week and this is exactly what I was looking for. I don't use my 500mm f4 to anywhere near its full potential. Thank you :)
That is some beautiful bird watching place! Thanks for explanation...first day of using 200-400mm f4 and was not really sure what this means. Instead of googling I knew someone on RU-vid would explain it perfectly. Just wondering, are you using back button focus? Thanks again! God bless you!
Hi there! Sorry I missed this somehow. We dont run any scheduled trips there at this stage, but we can organise private safaris like the one in this video any time as long as there is space :)
Great lions pictures thé biggest male is the legendary nenha one and the last survivor of the legendary coalition called birmngham boys and the young male is the son of nenha
Hello. If your camera turns off it will unfortunately reset....but if it just sleeps it will remember it (at least in my cameras, it may differ with other brands).
I wish they would update the firmware on the series II lenses to have the dual presets. That would be killer on my 500 f/4 II. Especially since they never made a series III version of that one. I guess I'll have to save up for the RF600 at this point... perhaps 8 years from now... LOL
