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

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.

Mapungubwe is not well known, but it should be... this riverside paradise is home to the big five, boasts diverse bird and reptile fauna and is second to none in its scenic sand-stone beauty.

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.

Lucky you! It was my 1st time there :) Awesome, so green at the moment. Hope you have awesome sightings! It is a gem of a park!
love the passion
Thanks for the comment, passion is the fuel of adventures!
What month did you visit in
It was in December, so middle of the summer in South Africa.
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.
Awesome, sounds like the best childhood adventure! Thanks for sharing, that place is magical and I can only imagine how much fun it must have been growing up there.
1998 the town village next door Msauli, i stayed at for 2 weeks. picture 'Est, beauty , but today like Diepgezet, grinded to dust . Msauli ws on your map at the end of the vid , the town just before and south of diepgezet. Msauli was very pretty more than Diepgezet.
Unfortunately, these small towns are not what they used to be, but the natural surroundings remain spectacular 👌
Bucketlisted
Awesome content, keep going🎉
Thanks Marcus! Appreciate the comment. These trips are fun, live life, go explore ;)
It's in the Kalahari desert Yashua will be lowering down His New Jerusalem, somewhere after 1 May 2025, no wonder it has the biggest underwater lake in the world...when meteor wormwood hits, very soon, Gaia earth will topple, South will become the new North...
I guess it must be cheap there to buy property ... Anyone with info ?
What are the health hazards and is it possible to buy some potions of this place?
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.
Amazing! Such amazing footage! The Kgalagadi is such an awesome place!
It is! I remember your video from a while back, it was so good! Inspired me to visit this park again, was a few years since I've been there. I absolutely love the Kalahari. Thanks for the comment, looking forward to your vids from your recent travels.
Wouter dit is 'n uitstekende video! Jy het rerig mooi video van die diere gekry! Ons was in Junie 2022 daar, maar net vir 'n dag so ons het geen groot katte gesien nie (Ons was oppad om die visrivier gaan stap by Ai-Ais).
Dankie Heinz, waardeer die comment. Julle sal weer n draai daar moet gaan maak, een dag was te kort ;) Die visrivier is n fantastiese ervaring, so ek glo julle trip was die moeite werd!
@@willewout ons kon nie blyplek binne opspoor nie. Die volgende keer sal ons beslis binne bly en verken. Ek dink ander mense kan hierdie video geniet so hopelik help die ekstra kommentaar jou
@@HeinzMeulke Dankie Heinz, die boodskap word baie waardeer, so ook die ondersteuning wat dit gee! Hoop julle kan weldra n langer besoek aan die park inwerk. Dit is die moeite werd!
What a beautiful area to explore! You certainly found some feisty creepy crawlies 😂
Hehe, yes the trip did not disappoint :) Very scenic and lots of life in those dense forests and grassy hills. Thanks for the comment @dogsofthewind, hope you guys have lots planned for the near future.
Next October I am coming to Botswana for second time. Done Sa part of Kgalagadi. DO you think I should go to CKGR and my thing is only big cats photography? Wonderful video.
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!
I’m going to Botswana and Zimbabwe on Safari in October. I can’t wait! ❤️
You are in for a treat! Hope you will have an amazing experience.
@@willewout I honestly can’t contain my excitement! Thanks! 😁
i love spiders,
VERONICA S. Maraviñoso
Your videos are amazing!!
Thanks Philani! Hope you are doing well, and that we will have a chance to travel together soon! Appreciate the kind comment!
Looks like an interesting park to visit. Hello.
It is, the wildlife is concentrated and makes for easy game viewing. Thanks for the comment!
Only in Ohio
Mooi so Woutie! Baie wild in 'n kort tydperk gesien.
Dankie ou maat! Die avonture loop dik! Sien uit na ons Noord Natal ekspidisie.
That looks awesome! Looks like a classic Kalahari experience. We would love to visit that park in the future!
Thank you Dogs of the Wind! The park is well stocked with game and every game drive rewards with plenty sightings. Looking forward to your videos too! Keep them coming!
I want a hundred of those as pets. Might even keep away that dipshit neighbor who moved in a couple years ago.
Looks very much like a phoneutria (wandering spider)
They do look similar, but we don't have Phoneutria in South Africa, just these scary looking rain spiders that reportedly have fairly weak venom ;)
Im planning on buying a Phoneutria in thr near future, shipping it to us@@willewout

Nice , which month was it ?
Thank you Naser. It was in April, autumn is a good time to visit CKGR, not too warm or cold and the veld looks lovely with the golden grassy plains.
We loved your video! Especially the comment about snakes or ghosts! Sorry you didn’t find any snakes. I’m glad you did the ghost town more justice than us, keep making your videos!
After seeing Diepgezet in your video I just had to go and see it for myself... you planted the seed :) Glad you liked my take on it and thank you for compliments! Hope that Dogs of the Wind has a lot planned for December!
@@willewout you know it! ⛺️ we’re off to the south coast, eastern cape highlands, and Kruger. The benefits of being teachers!
@@dogsofthewind Looking forward to all the amazing content from those trips! Covering some really diverse locations, so I am sure that we are in for some fantastic treats. Keep those adventures and videos coming!
@@willewout thank you! and keep up the good work too!
I'm not too sure, but I'm sure st Lucia is in south America
You are right Steve, however, there is also a St Lucia in South Africa. Same name, different place.
I'm f ing around
I jokingly told myself that's no fur de lance. I'm not a geographer or a herpetologist, but I am learned in talking shit
Awsome!!
Thanks Philani, appreciate the comment. Was great meeting you, and sharing a Kosi Bay experience!
Awww Caréne!!! My greatest friend ever ❤ I'm so lucky to have you as my friend at school! Also hi Caréne's uncle! I saw your channel on her status.
She is amazing ;) Thank you for the comment!
Fantastic! I love seeing the reptiles!
Special creatures those, they fascinate me. Thank you for the kind comment!
Burn that
I went there last year. That road is rough! Such a good hike though. I am loving your content!
I love the creativity, editing, storytelling, info, wildlife footage, sense of humour and energy! This was the most fun to watch! 🦁
Thank you for the compliment :) Glad to know the effort that goes into these videos are appreciated! Happy exploring.
@@willewout I can’t wait to see more! 👏👏👏👏👏
@@dogsofthewind Will try our best to keep it entertaining! Heading out to Central Kalahari Game Reserve next month, so should be able to give a glimpse into that soon.
@@willewout it seems to come naturally! Enjoy the Kalahari! It’s such an awesome place to explore!
