PICK THE BOKS BACKS | With JUAN DE JONGH | LIVE FROM THE BUSH 

Thank you for promoting this beautiful country of ours. Guest are always welcome.

I see Eggchasers upload, I click. Inject this content straight into my veins.

Hi Tim we know its a rugby channel but as a South African we absolutely love the travel content in between just watching you enjoy and appreciate our country is a joy so keep it coming.

Not only is the content great but watching you enjoy our country is so good to see. RSA let's take care of this beautiful place

That’s why so many Poms come here on holiday and either don’t go home, or go home, sell up and return like my folks did in the 60’s never regretting the move! It’s an unbelievable country, amazing people and a culture unlike anything else on the planet. So privileged, as an Englishman born, to call South Africa my home…truly blessed and grateful! 🇬🇧🙏🏻🇿🇦♥️ Bokke!! 🏉💪🇿🇦

Nothing better than an early morning bush ride...everything smells better, i.e. coffee, the sky clearer, etc...

Absolutely love the fact that you're getting to experience our beautiful country. Enjoy every minute.

Thanks for your kind words about our country Tim. At this rate, you may soon know what we know... 🙂

You are a gentleman sir and a true ambassador of world rugby. I trust that you will enjoy your stay here in our country. We are honoured to have you here.

Tim. Hopefully you've seen why we love our Country so much💚💛🇿🇦

Ooh, I can see the tranquility of the African bush hitting you hey. Enjoy it. Breath the smells, the earth, the trees everything. Thanks for your videos.

Spotting a leopard is such a special sighting. Very elusive and rarely look as comfortable with vehicles around as they do in the video! Lived here my whole life and only ever seen 4 of em!

Best Rugby channel in my opinion.

I am so happy you have been able to experience the bush, Tim. You will have memories until the day you die. It is such a privilege that we enjoy here. It's truly great to have you here, and I am sure all your Saffa followers would love to see you back here frequently.

I love seeing overseas visitors enjoying our beautiful country! Soak it up Tim!

Can hear the bush vibes in your voice, Tim. Magical place, makes a day feel like a week.

As usual, seeing it from your eyes is a reminder - Thank you Tim! Enjoy!

Hey Tim, I hope you are enjoying your time in SA, it great to have you here. Keep the content coming

Thank you Tim. Glad you enjoying yourself in South Africa Cheers from Durban 🙏🙏

When you are down in the Cape and inevitably head to Hermanus i will be happy to take you out to Kayak with some of the most diverse marine life in the world.

Hope you'll get to enjoy a few braais around the fire mate. Not in town but somewhere in the bush, with all kinds of animal sounds in the background. It's always a great experience when you sit around the camp fire and then shine a light into the bush ... just to see ten yellow eyes of five lions staring back at you! 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

Ah Tim - the serenity and majesty, actually, of those moments you shared with that Elephant family whilst they were drinking is a rare privilege - and then you even got to see a Leopard - wow - an even rarer privilege - not to mention the Rhino's - enjoy to the fullest as we close in on the first Test at Loftus....

Thanks for keeping us in touch with all the great characters in the Rugby game. And avoiding the studio speak of others.

Seeing a leopard is the golden prize because they are very people shy. 1. Hippo 2. White Rhino 3. Cape buffalo 4. Elephant 5. Giraffe 6. Wildebeest 7. Eland 8. Kudu 9. Honey Badger 10. Lion 11.

One of the best country in the world in terms of nature. Just hour drive out of the busy polluted cities and we have reservations with wild animals to enjoy over a weekend (or the coast and beautiful beaches).

So enjoy your channel - So pleased your ab le to see the very best place on earth The African Bush just spectacular - Living abroad I miss the beauty of the African bush

Enjoy the bush and the wildlife. And the braai, the wine, the girls (look only) and the rugby.

Welcome to our country Tim, we wish you have a most unforgettable exprience!

Tim, the bush (Kruger) is a majestic place - every time I have gone to the Kruger I get a sense of how insignificant I really am in this universe! It is utterly humbling! Bear in mind that I live by the ocean! The bush beats the ocean for me hands down!

Hi Tim, it's wonderful to see how you relax and drinking in every moment. As a SA, we need to escape to the bush sometimes to keep us humble, to realize how small our problems are and how overwhelming the creation is. Enjoy every moment

Just enjoy Tim, nothing like the bush! lucky to spot a leopard during the day!

Africa creeps in your heart it never leaves.

Great interview with Juan dJ, thanks Tim. Enjoy, from the bush to Loftus on Saturday. What a ride.

My team as a Game ranger: 1. Elephant 2. Black Rhino (most aggressive of the two) 3. Buffalo 4. Giraffe 5. Eland 6. Honeybadger 7. Wild Dog 8. Hippo (we all know how fast these bad boys are!) 9. Warthog 10. Lion 11. Cheetah 12. Leopard 13. Kudu 14. Tsessebe 15. Baboon

The province you're on is a Magical place and a paradise for nature lovers.

White became wide - just like "wyd kant" 😅😂

Thank you very much for your very interesting videos. I can't wait for each episode. It is really awsome to have you visiting South Africa. Pitty you don't come to Cape Town too. But there is also scope for another visit. Just one correction, Juan de Jongh mentioned that the Craven Week was started by the late Dr Danie Craven. It was actually started by the late Jan Preuyt, a teacher from Port Rex Technical High School in East London in 1964. Jan Preuyt was chairman of Border Schools Rugby . He later became the president of South African Schools Rugby Association. The first tournamenyt was held in East London. It was named after the Legendry Dr Danie Craven.

Hi Tim, glad to see that you have an awesome time in South Africa. You are in one of the best places in South Africa. Enjoy!! Regards.

Welcome to my home Tim...You're not far from I stay. Hoedspruit is 90km from Tzaneen.

I enjoyed this vid! SA is an amazing Country. Enjoy your bush visit Tim. Having the Elephant family so close by is truly a rare blessing... Looking forward to Loftus on Sat. 🇿🇦

Lol Tim from that camper van in France to the real camper Safari experience in South Africa, love it, hope you have a blast, looking forward to seeing what you get up to next🎉

As it turns out.. the man was 100% spot on

I'm a simple man, I see Eggchasers Rugby, I click like!

Nice promo for SA tourism. Thanks mate

Hi Tim I see you enjoy breathing some high quality fresh around the bush the aroma from the acasia trees will slowly lower highblood n stress just by sitting under their shade😊😊

Hi Sir, please bear in mind like any other country we have crime and poverty in South Africa but this is an incredible place. Hope you enjoy the best of our country and it's people and nature

Gotta have a Kwagga at flank ;)

Ostriches can kick- owl as ref as long as it's a night game

fantastic backdrop. hope you're enjoying your time in our beautiful country 👌

Glad you got to see some game also 😂🎉🎉

So glad to see you enjoying your time in South Africa. You are so welcome here.

And just like that Africa is in your blood Tim and you will feel the yearning when you return to the UK I felt 18 years in London to sit around a "hardekool" bush braai again :)

Welcome to South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦

You are immensely fortunate to see a leopard, and more so a leopard with a kill! Love your wildlife 15, although agreeing with others that African wild dogs and hyenas belong in there for their stamina and tenacity

Wonderful idea Bush 15 . Enjoy your time in the bush

For your locks , you need a pair of giraffes . Thanks for sharing Tim , im super envious of you right now. Tourism is one of our biggest money spinners for the country . Enjoy our SA

Proper Bushveld in Timbavati. Good for you visiting in mid winter.

There is nothing quite like viewing leopards, lions and elephants from an open vehicle for the first time. Timbavati is a great pick for a safari and I am sure you are going to have a wonderful time. So glad you have had a great leopard sighting.

Glad you're enjoying our country Tim. Awesome to see Juan as well. Are you going to get to Brannas?

Post some images of the rooms at SIMBAVITI - blow people's minds My Safari Side 1. White Rhino (Powerful, far quicker than you think although somewhat jolly.) 2. Black Rhino (Like a white rhino, but NOT jolly) 3. Hippo (never see them until they start wrecking stuff.) 4. Elephant (pure power. The actual boss of the rugby field. Eben, Bakkies, Martin Johnson) 5. Giraffe (Victor, John Eales) 6. Hyena (relentless, ruthless, but good-natured off the ball) 7. Lion (Speed, power, aggression) 8. Cape Buffalo (The nastiest thing to bump into in a tight spot. Coming off the back of the scrum, that's a nightmare) 9. Honey Badger (smart, quick, ferocious in short bursts, but always starting fights the full-size humans need to fix) 10. Zebra (Dazzle and speed when under pressure. Relies on his kick to stay in the team) 11. Black Mamba (you don't see it until it ruins your day.) 12. Leopard. (hugely powerful and violent. Doesn't like to share) 13. Gemsbok / Oryx (unbelievable speed in a large body. Rapier horns, can take a gap and can run for days) 14. Cheetah (For obvious reasons.) 15. Kudu (Graceful, kicks well, covers lots of ground quickly. Mean swerve and can jump like you cannot believe)

I thought you would say you say #11 jersey belongs to the cheetah all day every day seeing that speed on open space is what they do best, lovely vid😎

Ah that gumpole and lapa smell in the bush is something else man.

Simbavati and greater Timbavati an absolute must❤❤❤❤

Hi Phillip here! I met you briefly at the Craven week. Thanks again for the great content. I really enjoy your point of views and I am glad you are enjoying our beautiful country so far! Can't wait for this weekend! It's gonna be epic and you'll see, there's not a lot of other places on the planet where you will experience a similar atmosphere as Fort Loftus. You will understand what we SAFFERS mean by saying, "They don't know what we know!" after this test series and the later the year against the AB's!

Tim, mark my words. Like many, you too are going to fall in love with South Africa. And you will be back!! Enjoy our country. Travel safe. And God bless.

Bush 15 sounds fun. Go Tim

Tim, enjoy the BEST South Africa has to offer : incredible wild life, great hospitality and world class rugby. Cheers mate. 🇿🇦🤝🏻🍻 Keep up the commentary on Rugby. Enjoy your channel immensely!! 😊

Hey Tim. So chuffed you’re enjoying SA. Thanks again for the brilliant, balanced content 🤙🏼

Glad to see you enjoying our glorious SA Tim and I'm pleased to see you are being hosted so well! I think you should move the rhino to loosehead and put the honey badger at hooker. It's incredibly tough, agile and completely fearless!! Some quick picks seem you asked, lion at 8, warthog at 9, Buffalo at 12, Sable at 13, Springbok at 11, cheetah at 14 👌👌

Tim....your are such an amazing ambassador for SA....you rock!

Lekker Tim, luv to have you in our great country and just wanna wish you great and safe travels my buddy. Enjoy everything my man.

Legend,Tim. Love your work. Thanks for showing so much love to SA.

Once again, ecstatic you made it! Glad you are connecting with the right places, occasions and wildlife and then people! Enjoy so glad you made it... Well deserved

Has to be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier in the team. Think Jock of the Bushveld. Totally fearless. A Legend!

Man, I'm so happy for you. I hope South Africa will hold lasting memories for you.

Tim, you are a legend. And you’re right, SA is an incredible country. Enjoy the wildlife. Have you posted a braai vid yet? Great chat with one of my favorite ex-Stormers Juan de Jongh. I have a vague memory of a fantastic try against Wales for the Boks over a dozen years ago. Nice video!

Hey Tim, ask them to show you the Small 5 and not only the Big 5 🙂 trust me you’ll thank me later

Love it! Missing home now from London

Awesome! Glad you're having a good time.

We love you❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Nice to see you here in my hometown, Krugersdorp.

So lucky to see a leopard on your first trip. It took me 20 years and many different parks before I finally saw a leopard in the wild

@Eggchasers Rugby. Hope you enjoying your stay mate! You are very lucky. I live in Sa and have never unfortunately been to see wildlife up close as you have. Have a nice one and stay safe !

Thanks for promoting our beautiful country.

Tim there is nothing like the bush! Enjoy every moment mate. Good content and good pics.

Happy to have you here, enjoy

Hope you had some "Bush coffee with a couple of shots of Amarula in it.

You are in the place that is as God made it in the beginning, heaven on earth! Enjoy🙏🏻

Thank u for promoting country and rugby dont be a stranger come back

For 15 I'll choose a lion male for contolling the pack. Your leopard will be inside center, outside and wingers will be cheetahs for sure. Yip those elephants are looking serene, but like all this beauty comes a dangerous darkside just like general life in our country. But, you will go back refreshed and contemplate your life and life in general and will develop a new perspective and outlook of life, people and events.

My family owns shares in Ingwelala which is down stream on the Nhlaralumi river from Simbavati. I'm privilrged enough to have been going there my whole life. It really is the most amazing area in the world.
