Wilkinson's World
Великобритания
Добавлен 21 июл 2023
Rob and Jane Wilkinson capture the beauty of birds and wildlife through photography and videography as we traverse nature parks in our 4x4, equipped with a rooftop tent for immersive exploration.
We are a duo that called Windhoek, Namibia, home for six adventurous years until our retirement in 2012. Those years allowed us to embrace our passions: journeying through the untamed corners of Namibia and Botswana and immersing ourselves in the art of photographing birds and wildlife. Our trusty 4X4, fully equipped for camping, became our vessel to explore the great outdoors, an endeavour that continues even now.
From the captivating landscapes of Botswana to the rhythmic pulse of Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi, our journeys have expanded from our South African base. The allure of these lands still beckons us, and we're thrilled to open a window into our experiences through this RUclips channel.

Unforgettable Satara, Kruger's Big Cat Country #wildlife #birds #africa #africanwildlife #bird
Satara Restcamp, located in the central region of Kruger National Park, truly is unforgettable, Kruger’s big cat country, due to its high concentration of predators, especially lions, leopards, and cheetahs. The camp is set in an open savanna, characterized by vast grasslands dotted with acacia trees, making it an ideal hunting ground for these magnificent cats. It truly is unforgettable, Kruger’s big cat country.
Lions are particularly abundant around Satara, and it's not uncommon to hear their powerful roars echoing through the night. These lions are often seen in large prides, lounging under the shade of trees or stalking prey in the early morning or late afternoon.

Have any of our viewers been to Kruger? If so, what is your favourite camp and why?
@@wilkinsonsworld yes! 3 times I’ve stayed at Crocodile Bridge, Skukuza, Berg en dal, Mopani and been to the rest except orpen. For game viewing definetly Satara or Berg en dal. Berg en dal for wild dogs and leopards, Satara for everything. The camp itself I like Mopani as it is very quiet and relaxing aswell as Beeg en dal
Another lovely video. Thanks.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Looking forward for Punda Maria clip
Amazing birding you really deserve more subscribers looking forward for next video
Thank you very much!
Berg en Dal one of my favorite camps in the KP.
Very exciting. We look forward to the next adventure.
Thank you.
You really do deserve more subscribers! Great going
Thanks very much.
I am looking forward to our 2.5 Month camping Trip Sept , Oct , Nov .. go home Dec 1 .. Phalaborwa , Tsendze , Nthakeni River , Bush Camp at Pafuri Gate , Punda Maria , Shingwedzi and to get some Las Vegas atmospher last 7 nights at the City of Satara .. We have to travel 3 days to get to Kruger >> Think Folk on a small Pension and the Fuel Price so are very averse to wasting money looking at Tar roads and Cars all day so North is where the real Kruger is and South of Satara we call Hollywood .. Had my first trip at 3 months old in March 1951
You definitely think like we do. Your itinerary sounds wonderful. Do enjoy your lovely holiday. It sounds like you have picked some lovely places to visit. Thanks for your interest.
I stayed in Skukuza for ONE night 12 years ago in my so far 73 yrs Kruger experience >> You only make that mistake once . Now where is my South Gate at Phalaborwa onto a proper Camp >> Tsendze the way all Kruger Camps should be like >> without Fences of course ala Botswanas winning Formula of Minimal Disturbance of Human Footprint.. Rooiputs in Kgalagadi for example >>
I agree with you. It is much nicer in quieter camps and I also love Rooiputs. Wild camping is the way to go.
Thanks for the update I have a dream about the place one day will be able to visit Thanks for the opportunity to show us how great the place is
So glad you enjoyed it. Good luck getting there, I hope it works out soon for you.
Thanks for bringing back great memories of our trip to south Africa, amazing video Val.
Glad you had such a wonderful trip to SA Val. We hope you come back soon.
Lovely video. It’s been 10 years since I visited the area, but like you said, the birding is very good there. Perhaps it’s time to return
That's definitely way too long. A visit is definitely long overdue. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for your positive feedback. We have put a link to the company in South Africa where these arm coolers can be purchased. Most sports shops or cycle shops stock them.
Lovely video. It brings back memories.
Thanks. We hope that they were happy memories.
Was there yesterday (August 12 2024), what a place! One of the best experiences for my family so far.
I think the Lapwing is eating a water scorpion (Waterskerpioen)
Thanks for that. I thought it might be a prawn, but it does look more like a scorpion.
I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos. 👏 Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Well that's very kind of you. Thank you. So glad you enjoy them.
Great video, I love the spy camera work angles, in the car she desk. Looking forward to the next video in the series. What is that in Rob's hand at 2:12?
Thanks. Rob is using a remote for the camera.

A gorgeous lad.
Really enjoyed your video and your narration. Hope to watch your next one.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Such a lovely bird and your right it often gets very vocal before the rain. Had a pair in my garden and watched them raise a youngster...such a privilege privilege.
I love the sound of the rain bird. Always bodes well.
Lovely area of Kruger, will be there in a few weeks time, so much looking forward to it, safe travels !!!
Lucky you. Do enjoy every minute of that special time.

Love these guys. They're the coolest animals in the air
They are quite something to watch.
What a lovely video! I have never been to South Africa but maybe one day! :)
Thank you. You can't go wrong with a trip to South Africa.
The pair of white fronted bee-eaters were beautiful. Great video!
Thanks. Can't decide which ones were the best. I loved the blue Woodland Kingfishers.
Really enjoyed learning so much about Pafuri. If I can get to Kruger at some point, I would love to have you both as my guides.
We'd love to be your guides. Make a plan.
Excellent. I have never been to Pafuri. I wonder if she accepted the nest.
I hope so after all his hard work.
