Spectacular - as all your videos... Thanks for paying tribute to the King... Male Lions are majestic and hearing their roar close-up feels like it goes right through you... my experience anyway... Many thanks to you both for creating content that lifts one's spirit and makes life better! Blessings & Please STAY SAFE!
@@LostinAfrica That would be a dream come true! We almost moved there when I was a child. My father was working in Europe at the time and had an offer in Africa but he decided to come back to the US. I'm not sure I ever forgave him ha ha !
Wonderful video, thank you, just managed to catch up with the series and see this one. Crocodile Bridge to Lower Sabie is where we as a family have spent most time, so it was good to revisit it with your great footage. Just over the border in Eswatini but still not able to get across. Hopefully we will be able to return to Kruger before long! All the best with your new Lost in...work, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks so much Dan! I haven’t been to Eswatini in about 10 years and would love to visit again! Such a beautiful country! Hopefully you get back into Kruger soon!
Amazing shots and clips of the two lions. It gave me chills as you were driving alongside this majestic lion ! Looking forward to the next episodes ! Thank you for sharing us such astonishing captions of you trip ! You inspire me a lot ;) keep sharing !!!
Your videos are so informative which I really enjoy, the footage and music of the ‘king’s’ as you refer them too was just phenomenal! Another amazing series!
I really enjoyed this episode. Great narrative. Amazing footage/moment when the male lion closed his eyes tightly. And I've soft spot for Crocodile Bridge...
Have to confess our driver guide in Tanzania also owned a B+B and some of his guests were the scientists who were tracking the dogs.Just as soon as the pack were in range we were able to find them.👍
Getting there slowly thank you, just got approved for monitization, but not sure about using adverts, I guess people are so used to it now though! Mozambique is the next series if they ease some of their restrictions, then hopefully Namibia before back to our beloved Botswana!
@@LostinAfrica Awesome congrats, Iv heard once you enable ads your videos reach people faster, so would definitely recommend it. Your videos are good enough to skip a few ads
Tim awsome thanks for you and B for the sharing off all of your journeys wow wow myself love wild dogs we need to keep them save groete Shaun en Berdien
@@LostinAfrica some history of them. Older male and his 2 brothers where dominant over Lubyelubye pride until 2016, dont know what happened to his 2 brothers, but he and his 2 sons got ousted then by 5 Jock males then and those 3 become nomadic. Then in 2018/19, 1 of the sons disappeared (got killed most likely) and only this 2 remain. They moved further south and become dominant around H5/H4-2 junction in the past year or two.. Younger male is prob born around 2014,and older prob around 2009. They are impressive males, younger one looks to be a big bigger.
@@tr1x243 I'll have to try and find them. I know we'll probably never know... But I wonder if they were picked off by the Jock males once they started applying pressure.
Hey Tim! My brother shared your wild dog video with me and now my wife and I have binge watched all of your Kruger videos. Amazing stuff! I’ve had to cancel my KNP trip 3 times because the border was closed to the US but it’s looking like our upcoming trip will happen. Thanks for giving me a quick fix until it does though. Can’t wait for the next episode!
Brilliant video Tim! Great addition to the series and worth the wait. Glad to see you show a bush walk, the are just great. If you haven’t tried one yet, the Kruger Wilderness Trails are just amazing and you could produce a stunning video and really do them justice.
On KPBS last night it announced the African Elephant is critically in danger of fading away FOREVER.😪 Poaching continues! This is so sad. Ivory is still in demand. WTH???? This is beautiful footage. Thank you.❣
Yeah there is a major poaching crisis, and although Elephant populations are doing well in SA and Botswana, they're getting hammered elsewhere! It is so sad. We're trying to do our small bit by raising awareness. There are a couple of Elephant projects in Mozambique we are in touch with, and will hopefully go there to tell their stories!
I presume you’re talking about the gate times? Kruger has strict gate times, where self driving is not allowed after dark. It’s for a few reasons, one being that the animals often gather on the roads at night because they retain warmth and can then get hit very easily, another being for anti poaching security.
Awesome video well done... i also enjoy filming our Kruger trips. Also on youtube. What camera are you using to film if i may ask. Off to the Kruger on friday... Skukuza.
Thanks Paulo! The cameras changed over the course of the series, but this episode and most of the newer ones are shot on the Canon R5. Enjoy Skukuza, one of my favorite places in the world!!
@@LostinAfrica Thanks Tim, hope to see some amazing sites. We just enjoy the bush whether we see the big 5 or not. Out favourite camp is Satara. Berg en dal is also good especially with leopard sightings. Thanks again for the reply. Have a good one
Loving your videos! We were due to return to SA and visit Kruger in March last year but had to cancel because of Covid. We are now hoping that we will be able to travel there in March 2022. Any thoughts on whether March is a good time to stay in Kruger? (We'll be staying at the south of the park.)
Hi Philip, thanks for the love! I really am hoping that things will be back to some kind of normal by March next year! March is a good time, I actually wanted to do a video on the best times of year to visit the park, but just haven't got around to. March is out of the school holidays, so the park shouldn't be completely manic. It's also still green from summer, but not oppressively hot. So good choice I would say. My best time of year in the park is November, as the temp is similar, but the bush is less dense. Also a lot of baby impalas.
@@LostinAfrica Many thanks for responding! I was hoping that SA would be removed from the UK travel red list at yesterday's review but no luck. Let's hope it happens at the next review. Two trips cancelled so far. ☹
HI there do you remember what camp site number you stayed at - we going camping there for the 1st time and i believe it is a 1st come basis and you cannot book any sites - which is a pitty but i would LOVE to be on the fence
Hey, so it is a small camp ground and only about 30% of sites are on the fence. So i would suggest getting there as early as possible and claim a spot, leave some camping gear there or a ground sheet or something.
@@LostinAfrica it would be nice if you..in the future write down the titles of the song instead of writing..." ( music ) "....don't you think so ?...thanks , GOD bless you...🙂
Sigma make a great series of 150-600mm lenses, these are amazing for the entry level photographer. Lenses of this length at that price range used to be absolutely useless. Now whilst not as fast as a big 500mm prime, they do a very impressive job. The is a Sport and a Contemporary, both are good but I think the sport will last longer. (I am not sponsored by SIGMA) Then spend whatever money you have left on the best Body of your choice. If you give me your budget I can make more specific suggestions for you with pleasure!
Appreciate the feedback, the honest truth is that recording good sound, while driving, while shuffling position with other vehicles, etc, is really really reaaaaally hard. Most sound you hear on nature documentaries is fake and added afterwards. We are aware of it though, and I am trying incredibly hard to improve the ambient sounds, which would mean less drowning out! Sound has been by far the biggest learning curve of this whole project! Sorry about it though, genuinely, I know it is rough, all a compromise for now, but working our butts off to improve! :)
Male lions are killed by rivals,shot by hunters,poached and ontop of th8s they are killed before they are 1 by big males in a take over. They die from t.b or from wounds in a failed hunt where a buffallo has gored them or a zebra kicked or a girraffe stomped or kicked etc...killed by crocs as cubs or as adults.. Humans have heen their biggest threat for decades and still are. 2nd is rival male lions,coalitions are extremely deadly. Big males as nomads buffer between territories of bigger males,sneeking around mating with li9ness from prides,eating with them too!. Also nomads home their hunting skills as a coalition,a unit ! They bigger giant slayers killing girraffe! Even young rhino and hippo! They try their luck early with a numbers advantage catching 1 male alone they can kill him or badly wound him then attack his brother ..but only with 3 to 7 nomads vs...if it is 4 prime males 6 or 7 nomads don't stand a chance unless they are like mapogo or matimbas!
