Hi Juan .. I am brand new subscriber and found your channel on my feed line . Very nice images .. and that 400 mm f/2.8 is the king of canons EF lens , it’s been on my bucket list for years 😂😂. I only have the 300mm f/2.8 which is also a beast of a lens . I have moved on to the RF series .. but still have my 2 300 mm lens .. used now on my canon R5 with the adapter . You have a good channel and a good eye for wildlife and composition . Congratulations on your RU-vid channel 👌🏻👏👏
Dear Juan, What an emotion watching your exceptional experience! Thank you so much for sharing so many awesome moments and for providing the EXIF data for each photo. You are a great photographer. Could you just let us know which season you were there, and which month you would recommend for visiting Zimanga to get the most out of the overnight hde sessions and see the most wildlife at night? Thank you in advance !
I cannot say enough to express this beauty. Just so peaceful looking. I can't see you having nothing but success with your channel. It's absolutely amazing. Tysm 4 the recommendation. Awesome footage ❤
Great video Juan, beautifully filmed, interesting and super useful. I’m trying to decide where to go for my first photography safari experience. My main focus is on photography but as I have never been on safari before, I want a whole ’safari experience’ if possible. I’m looking at the following, Pangolin’s hotel and house boat safari on the chobe river, a photographic safari to Mashatu Lodge or a 10 night stay at Zimanga. My main concern about the Pangolin photo safari is that the chobe river and park will be very busy. I don’t want to be one of several boats or vehicles at each game sighting. I am also slightly concerned about mosquitoes that could be on the river. For these reasons do you think Mashatu (in November) or Zimanga (in September) will give me a quieter and less touristy safari experience? Which do you think would be better for wildlife photography and seeing plenty of wildlife?
Hi Juan, I loved your video! It really took us on an amazing trip ! Thank you for making and sharing this. I have a question for you. I will be visiting Zimanga in Dec and wanted to get some advice from you on what lenses (mm) would be best to carry. Thanks in advance!
Morning here in Africa, thank you for your beautiful message. On a full frame camera you will need a wide angle 16-35mm f2,8 for overnight hide if something big comes to drink. Your goto lens will be a 70-200mm f2,8 in all the hides. You will need something up to 400mm for the small stuff or to crop in abit to create beautiful out of focus backgrounds.
@@juanventerphotography Thanks Juan. Your responses were valuable and I had a great time at Zimanga. I also wanted to know if you conduct group tours in Zimanga. If yes, I would love to know more about it. What could be the best way to do that ?
@@junglelens Thank you for your reply......I'm glad you had a great time at Zimanga. Yes, I do group trips to Zimanga.....it will be best if we can communicate this via email - juan@mightymedia.tv
So great! That was such an epic week, and so many of your photos turned out wonderfully! One day we'll get around to our video from Pangolin, but it might be a while 🤣
@@SuperSafari6 that sounds great....I do it full time and Zimanga is one of my destinations where I take my groups, you can contact me via email: juan@mightymedia.tv or have a look on my website: www.mightymedia.tv/
Nice job man, has been a pleasure meeting you and your wife there. Feels like it was yesterday, but already back since one week ;-) Cheers from Switzerland, Marco
Hi Marco....thank you for the comment, yes time flies .....sorry I could not spend more time with you, busy with the clients :-) Cheers from South Africa
@@juanventerphotography Thanks for the reply, oh no, please that's fine. You would be a horrible host and coach when spending more time there with a random stranger, than what you do with your own paying clients - I fully understand that. Priorities, it's all about priorities man. All good But we should definitely stay in contact and maybe talk about Zimanga trips 👌 Cheers Marco
@@wilduntamedphotography1260 haha....yes that's true....it's nice when the group is smaller then there is more time to relax....but not good for business. You welcome to contact me regarding future group's to Zimanga
