A couple of hours late on my own deadline, but still up today! Hope it is worth the wait and you all enjoy! Next week I am going to be in the Tankwa Karoo filming a new series, so depending on signal the next instalment of the Kruger series might be a little delayed, but I am working as hard as humanely possible to ensure it isn't!
One thing I wish for is to have our African content creators reach over the hundreds of thousands in views because they put in great hours and efforts. Compared to those who take snippets of already recorded content and try tell a story. Half the time getting the names of the animal species incorrect. Let's support channels like this one so that the guys can create more content for us. Well done Tim. Love seeing your content mate.
Whether upper class or for ordinary people, the video is well documented and one always strive to see new places, so that they have done and I enjoy it. Thank you Lost in Africa
Tim what a sight in a dry river bed those lions looks so peacefully ,those Ellies swimming wow the snake on JABARI just a reminder the Kruger are wild,Hoyo Hoyu home away from home nice rondawel and Cheetah sighting out of this world Tim Bianca this episode Epic thanks again mooi loop
We sometimes forget how wild the Kruger is because it is so accessible, i think that’s part of the reason why it doesnt get as much praise as some of the East Africa parks, but in terms of sightings it’s unparalleled in my opinion!
Thank you to this channel...Ammmazing sitings! The view of elephants from the living room, the male lion at the end patrolling, and of course that beautiful elegant leopard casually looking around. I wondered why don't leopards have prides like lions? - didn't feel like googling it...
Thank you Mo, appreciate the support! I think the interesting thing is that cats are generally solitary, so Lion's are actually the exception that form a pride! Although there are cases of Cheetah males forming coalitions, the big cats are rarely in anything more than a small family group or a breeding pair.
@@LostinAfrica When I visited Kruger NP in Nov 22 (from the UK) I saw a coalition of 3 Cheetah brothers stalking a herd of Impala, they were literally 5 feet from our Jeep. It was one of the wildlife highlights of my life. You South Africans are so so so lucky to have so much nature and wildlife on your doorsteps…. I know people like you will be all they can to continue to preserve and protect it! I cant wait to return!
Was that the S8 Male at Imbali? He looks majestic but please tell him to stop giving my all time fav, Dark Mane some hard time in the Northern Sabi Sand 😂😂. Keep up the good work though.👍
Thanks Brandon, in these video's I was using a magnetic mount by a company called K Kam. I have subsequently upgraded to a GimPro mount, that is the industry leader!
I'm so happy I found this video. I am currently planning a holiday to the Kruger in September. We have previously stayed at Hamilton's tented camp and now we are deciding between Imbali and Hoyo Hoyo. Another option we have is to do both of them. Would you be willing to share your thoughts on the differences between accommodations as well as food and eating arrangements to help us make the decision?
Hi Jonathan, both are really great and they are really different, so if you have the option to do both I would recommend that. The game drives all cover the concession so there is not much difference between them, the food is also of the same high standard at both. The biggest difference is the accommodation style, Hoyo Hoyo is very unique and different to just about anywhere I have stayed. Imbali is more of a traditional luxury safari which is also really beautiful. I slightly preferred Imbali, Bianca slightly preferred Hoyo Hoyo. Enjoy the trip!! :)
Generally speaking, the rangers avoid shining on the herbivores eyes so as not to blind them, and the thinking is that it has less effect on predators. You need a strong light to be able to see anything, but it is a compromise.
Very remote and unspoilt part of Kruger. I actually think it's a shame that it became a money-making concession and broke the pristine-ness of the region. I just hope there won't be any more developments in the area, it's enough now.
We are trying to cover all the wonderful things Africa has to offer. People aspire to it, and plan major life events like honeymoons around places like this. Also we have a foreign audience that love these lodges, and theyre a very important part of sustainability in these regions. But point taken and I hope to see you back soon, we’re wild camping again in 3 episodes time, and then really rough it and Mozambique and Kgalagadi! ☺️
Wow, tough comments. We are in exactly the same position as Patrick and Marc and can't even begin to aspire to staying at a lodge like this, self driving through Botswana is pushing the boat out for us. But ........ we still find it incredibly exciting to watch your videos and also to see how the other half lives, as long as there is a mixture of upmarket and our affordability, please keep on providing us with your fantastic content 👋👋
