Spider-hunting wasps are scary but interesting!
Watch as this spider-hunting wasp drags a spider, then digs a burrow and buries the spider before filling the hole and covering up all its tracks. Spider assassin at work!

Exploring a national park that is dedicated to elephant conservation, but offers great game viewing opportunities in general.
Finding creepy creatures in the urban environment
Просмотров 396Месяц назад
There are many little critters living in, and around, urban areas. In this video I aim to show that you can explore the mini fauna of city and peri-urban landscapes, without the need to travel to distant and remote locations to achieve success. You too, can start your next exploration adventure right from your own urban doorstep!
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Kgalagadi is a magical place, a dry desert landscape filled with biodiversity and life. It is a place of contrasts that somehow makes sense, and this park should be on your bucket list of places to visit.

Diepgezet, the ghost town with a view.
Просмотров 4,1 тыс.2 года назад
Diepgezet is an abandoned mining town in South Africa, it is well worth the visit for the beautiful mountain scenery that characterizes the area. We travelled there to see if nature reclaimed the town after more than a decade of inactivity.

Breathtaking mountain views combined with big five game sightings make for a truly unique safari experience. This national park is fairly close to the capital city, and is therefore an ideal weekend getaway. Join us as we explore the amazing Waterberg biosphere.

Camping at Waterberg Wilderness Resort, South Africa
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.3 года назад
Weekend getaway to the bushveld, exploring a new (for us) camping venue and trying to find some creepy crawlies. We tried to give some info on the Waterberg Wilderness Reserve as well, so have a look if you might want to travel there as well. Awesome place, highly recommended!
The spitting cobra that bit someone!
Просмотров 2933 года назад
Relocation of an African spitting cobra and the story behind it. The snake bit a person and in this video we also chat to the victim about that experience. The snake species (Rinkhals) that caused all the trouble is not regarded as a true cobra, given that it bears live young instead of laying eggs, but it is still a highly venomous species that forms a hood and can spit its venom.

    Bruh! I was in Laerskool Diepgezet! My father was the mine engineer for a year or two. This was 39ish years ago? 1983 to 1985ish. Best place to be a kid, ever! Exploring waterfalls, rivers, mountains, so many many places to swim. Summer rains would drape that mountain with silver curtains of waterfalls! Paradise! Whatever you pop in the ground grows. There were lichis, avos, nuts, papaya, prunes, perskes, banans, you name it... In our gardens. 75 numbers on the phone list.

      Hi Ghaan, it doubt that one will be able to buy a yard there, the problem is asbestos pollution in the town. It can seriously affect the lungs of people, so maybe not a good place to stay at for extended periods.

    • @willewout
      @willewout Год назад

      CKGR is great for big cats! The grass and foliage should also still allow window for good pics in October, it gets thicker later in summer. Lions are plentiful, leopards abound, cheetah can sometimes be spotted on the plains, and we even happend upon a familiy of rooikat (caracal) playing in the road. Nothing is gauranteed, so hopefully you'll get good sightings!
