Hey guys!! It’s almost a week since we uploaded this film and we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for taking the time to watch & leave us your thoughtful comments, we are getting to the all! For those that have asked, some of Adam’s photography prints from this trip are on sale in our shop here: www.jitsintothesunset.com/shop Thank you so so much for your support! And sending you love from the Philippines! Ps. Our next Tanzania film is out Sunday 17th of March 💛
I can't believe Adam saved Tania from the lion!....Seriously, the quality of the videography is better than commercial television in my opinion, in 4k on a 70" tv it truly looks spectacular, really looking forward to the rest of this trip. From the South coast of the UK. Steve and Lins.
I know… it was a narrow escape 😅 Oh my goodness… this is music to our ears because this is the first time we uploaded in 4K. We usually limit it to HD to save space on our hardrives (the cost of which can add up when we’re shooting heavy) BUT we knew this trip would be worth it. So glad to hear this is appreciated 🥹💕 Thank you for being here and see you for the next one 🇹🇿 xx Tania
I can’t believe Adam saved Tania from the lion! Adam, I’m a lion fan too. That picture of the lion in the teaser pics is amazing. Your photography is the kind I wish I could take. Please make your photos available for sale, I’d love to have that one.
Oh wow, I would love to learn more about what your medical missions entail. How long did you travel for each time? I bet you experience the country in an even deeper and more meaningful way ❤ xx Tania
First of all....HELLO......I have missed seeing you guys. Now....once again your video has managed to touch the soul....educate the mind and actually take the body with you on the adventure. It was done with such raw heart filled emotion on seeing this beauty it was not hard to imagine being right there with you...seeing what you are seeing...hearing what you are hearing and feeling what you are feeling. By the end of the video when the rain was in the distance , I could swear I could smell it coming. Glad to see that you guys are ok and having this once in a lifetime experience and thanks for taking me along. Hugs and God bless. ❤
Cheryl, your words mean more than we can say. Thank you so so much!! Hearing you describe your viewing experience like this is the BEST feedback that we could ever hope for 💛 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - we appreciate you being part of our community! Xx Tania
Ruaha was our first safari experience too! At Mwagusi camp, where our daughter worked for a year. Just heaven! We have just been to Zambia, Botswana and Namibia and had even more extraordinary experiences. Enjoy!
Thanks a million, Simon!! 💛 Also appreciate you watching through right to the end 🥹🦁😅💕 Hope you’re really for next Sunday’s video… our Tanzania adventure continues!! 🇹🇿✨ xx Tania
HA! I can't believe Tania saved Adam from the lion. Seriously guys, this is your best film yet. Tania's excitement at the balloon flight, Adam on the dunny, all the beautiful portraits (both animal and human). I can't wait to get to Africa!!
Hey guys! Thanks so much! Yeah, I knew I should have put it the other way around 😂. Thanks for your lovely comment, really glad you enjoyed it! It was one of those films that just came together so easily because of the subject matter. I still can’t believe we were out there next to lions 😱! You guys would love it! 🦁🐘🔥 Adam
❤ From Tanzania 🇹🇿 with Lots of love for my country and I am wishing you all the best for such a great job well done ✅ 👍 😍 God Bless You Welcome to Tanzania 🇹🇿 ❤ we love visitors
Wow! I can't believe Adam saved Tania from a lion! Very much makes me want to visit Tanzania for safari! Also, a hot air balloon is still the best thing I've ever done, and I think people who reckon they'd be frightened much be genuinely surprised as to the tranquility of it, really feels motionless.
Hey!! Aww glad you got to watch ‘til the end - thank you for sticking with us 🦁😅💕 Oh yes!! I didn’t really know what to expect from the hot air balloon experience but like many, I was shocked by how gentle the whole ride was (including the landing!) ❤ xx Tania
I can’t believe Adam saved Tania from a Lion! And two gin and tonics to cheers with please. We were balling during the entire duration of the video. It is the most beautiful film we have ever watched. Thank you!
I mean, what else do I need to say, is there an award for great videos like this? I've been for a while now and these guys are getting better and better every time. ps: "Adam saved Tania from a lion"
Thanx for visiting our beautiful country Tanzania..hope you guys get to experience a hot air balloon ride across the Serengeti during the great migration which is indeed one of the unique natural wonders of the world.🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
I can't believe Adam saved Tania from a lion! 🦁Wow, what an adventure! This film is absolutely stunning and incredibly enjoyable to watch. We can't wait to see more of your African trip. 😍
I can’t believe Tania saved Adam from a lion! Watching from Massachusetts, USA - absolutely blown away by your exquisite Tanzania film… I feel so blessed to share such a once in a Lifetime experience in Africa - thank you both 👍🏾
Hey Helen!! I’m delighted to hear this adventure has reached all the way across the world to you 🐘🦁🎉 Thank YOU for joining us and taking the time to leave us a message here ❤ See you next Sunday for the following Tanzania film - it kept getting better and better! xx Tania
I can't believe Adam saved Tanya from a Lion, isn't it spectacular over there. I can't wait to see what route you take up Mt Kilimanjaro and no one can ever explain the feelings and emotions of altitude like up there on top of that beauty, I loved my trek up there and I know you both will, I'm so excited...you gotta tell me if one of your guides was Brunno, so very excited your doing Kili ❤❤❤
Really lovely to see such beautiful footage of all the animals!!! If I ever get to Africa, this is the kind of experience I would like, a nice intimate party, not too many people. Your guides seemed really nice, it's really cool that they have the opportunity to protect wildlife, I imagine that would be most local's preference, as long as they can feed their families. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful wee film 🙏💛
What a beautiful beautiful film. Honestly your work always takes my breath away 🥰 We had an amazing time in the Serengeti in Tanzania, but had a lotttt of bad luck on that trip 🤢🤒😵💫😪😰🤯😩 So wow your shots really do bring the beauty out! 🤩 I can’t believe Adam saved Tania from a lion! 😅 I absolutely LOVE your footage of the local people, they’re such beautiful people ❤
I can't believe Adam saved Tania from a lion🤣. Welcome to Africa, guys - so enjoyed watching this excellent video and looking forward to the rest of your African adventures. We've missed you both! Love from Cape Town
Hi Dianne!! Thank you for the warm welcome… we have certainly felt at home during our stay ❤ The kindness of the people blew us away. We are already excited to return to Africa and explore more - there is so much to see and do, it would take a million lifetimes to do so 🥹💕 xx Tania
Wow! What a fantastic experience! See all the animals so close, it’s almost scary (lion 😮) but amazing at the same time. The quality of your film is outstanding 👌! Question for Adam, which zoom did you use? 🤔 Thanks. Anne & Eric
What an awesome film to start your Tanzanian series off with. I especially enjoyed you witnessing the Lions 🦁 up close. I couldn't see it on the bar but an Old Fashion(Bourbon). I can't believe Adam saved Tania from a Lion.
I can't believe Adam saved Tania from the lion! Absolutely brilliant, can't believe how close you actually got to the lions. It must've been great seeing so many different animals in their natural surroundings too. Keep up the the great videos. xx
Thanks Micheal! 😊 and thanks for watching it all the way through, it means a lot ☺️. I know, it’s mad how close we were! I still can’t believe it! Adam
I got so emotional watching this, it made me so happy to see you happy and my tears were happy ones; it was so so beautiful to watch. Your filming and editing is incredible, honestly, I don't have enough words to describe it, what a magical unforgettable adventure for you both. I'm going to watch it again ...... and again, I'd love to do that 🥰 No need to say it again, you're my favourites! ❤
Ruaha..fabulous and unique reserve... the ancient baobab are striking . Hope to return...for a third time.. and see wild dog again. Viva Africana Loxodonta Simon Artley Manchester UK
I can't believe Adam saved Tania from a lion! Hi I'm from Johannesburg South Africa so quite familiar with wild life! Have really enjoyed this video Looking forward to your next adventure Love and hugs ❤
Tania and Adam, this is an absolutely phenomenal video and you have captured the experience so beautifully. This is hands down the best RUclips video I have seen, like a beautiful movie capturing a once in a lifetime experience. Incredible in every way. I don’t know how you do not have millions of subscribers, your videos are impeccable. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us😊
This video gave me goosebumps. Memories of my safari trip 7 years ago came back and now I'm feeling a little 'homesick'. No feeling compares to being out in the bush. The feeling that you're just a tiny little human being and that you're nothing compared to the majestic animals surrounding you. It's so humbling and grounding. Nothing else seems to matter any longer. I want to go back now! 😊 And yes, obviously I also can't believe Adam saved Tania from a lion 😂😂 I hope you had a wonderful trip! 💕
This was like watching a wildlife documentary on television. Incredible photography capturing these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Well done with making this stunning video.
Hi ya Adam and Tania great to see you, how excited you must be I can’t imagine. You take us to such awesome places. G & T sounds good. Take care of yourself and stay safe cheers 🥂 from Australia 🇦🇺🥂🐒🐘 🦒❤
Thank you, Barry!! Hopefully one day we get to meet after all of these years and we can cheers in person ❤ Thank you for your ongoing support 😍 xx Tania
Hi Stina!! Aww I’m glad you appreciate the fiery colours of that shot. We really got to see why African sunsets have such a fierce reputation… the colours are very intense and they last ages. We were in awe the entire time 💛 Thanks again for being here and supporting our channel! Xx Tania
Haha thank you, Lisa!!! 😅 We’re glad to have been able to share a slice of inspiration for your future travels. I hope you get to make it out here so day 🦁🇹🇿✨ xx Tania

Adam saved Tania from the lion ha ha ha. Of course we watched it to the end. How could you not. Stunning landscape, beautiful storytelling and the music was perfect. So grateful you've shared this experience with us all, thank you very much.❤

Hello lovelies, thank you so much for your wonderful video from Tanzania. As I had similar experiences with the African wildlife in Namibia a long time ago, I could understand and sympathise with your feelings. Some of the beautiful pictures brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much and we look forward to more beautiful videos from you. You are great. Best regards from Sylvia and Chris 👍👍👍🙋♀️🙋🏻♂️😍🍀🍀🍀🍀

OH MY… the magnificent quality of video footage yr photography and narration is again fantastic !!! thank you for sharing this with us … god bless our beautiful world ✨🌍✨
I am a seasoned safari traveler and I enjoy watching this type of videos for the wildlife and nature footage, mostly. Beyond professional documentaries, it’s great to get a glimpse of what fellow travelers may have been lucky to spot on their safari. While I don’t think that anyone would expect you to be the ultimate safari experts, there are still a few issues I feel compelled to point out. First, you identify several species incorrectly: 1:45 The animal you refer to as an impala is a greater kudu (female). 3:54 The animal you refer to as a male impala is a greater kudu (male). 4:52 The animals you refer to as ‘hunting dogs’ are black-backed jackals. When speaking about the ‘dogs’, you say they are ‘rarely seen’ and scavengers. Well, the ‘hunting dogs’ are indeed rarely seen at Ruaha, but they are not scavengers. Quite the contrary, they are Africa’s most prolific hunters who often see their kills stolen by larger predators such as lions or hyenas. Also, the correct name would be ‘Cape hunting dog’, ‘painted dog’ or most commonly ‘African wild dog’. The animals seen in the video (black-backed jackals) are easily spotted on safari (not ‘rarely’) and they rely on scavenging to a certain extent, indeed, for their survival. 17:46 The animal you refer to as wildebeest are African buffalo. As someone who is enjoying their very first safari and sharing the trip as you go along, I find it rather bold that you promote Ruaha at the expense of the Serengeti. You do so in the video when describing how you had a tower of giraffes all to yourselves, and in the video description when you say, ‘Skip the Serengeti & go on a Safari to Tanzania's Hidden Gem - Ruaha National Park!’. While I obviously understand our very human need to rate and compare, and while I absolutely respect your right to express your opinion and thoughts despite a lack of first-hand experience, I cannot help but gasp at this idea. First, I’d suggest you visit the Serengeti and become familiar with the many different areas and corners it boasts if you feel the need to compare it to other parks in Tanzania. I have been to the Serengeti many times, and I can assure you that it is a mind-blowing location that boasts the same sense of vastness, wilderness, and isolation. Granted, there will be some vehicle traffic around the most coveted sightings on the busiest roads in the Central Serengeti, but the park is vast and if you plan correctly (with the help of professionals in the know, preferably), you can feel like you have an entire slice of pristine East African savanna to yourself. The problems of overcrowding you allude to are most often associated with the Masai Mara in Kenya, and to a certain extent the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. But as far as wildlife encounters are concerned, the Serengeti is hard to beat in terms of quality, variety, and abundance. Which brings me to my next point: for three days on safari in Ruaha, it seems like you didn’t see that much. Therefore, I don’t understand your comment ‘All the wildlife, minus the crowds!’ (In comparison to the Serengeti). This can happen anywhere, but your chances for great sightings in three days would have been much higher in the Serengeti! So, I would very much encourage any first or one-time safari traveler to specifically consider the Serengeti (or the Okavango Delta in Botswana) for this kind of trip if they want to maximize their chances of having a stellar wildlife experience with hospitality to match. To those in the know, Ruaha is a great park for sure but the less obvious choice precisely because sightings can be erratic. That’s part of the reason why the Serengeti is more popular. Like many RUclipsrs doing this type of video, you also succumbed to the urge of repeatedly alluding to the imminent dangers on safari. Lions that are too close to the tents, keeping an eye out for lions and leopards during picnics, ‘mean’ lone buffalos who may attack you… These are cliches which do a huge disservice to the safari industry, in my opinion. First, let’s start with the facts: any incident on a quality safari is VERY rare. So rare, in fact, that when an enraged elephant bull toppled a safari vehicle in Zambia a few weeks ago and killed a lady in the process, this made international headlines. Of course, safety is to be taken very seriously on safari as one is out in the wild, but I’d argue that, statistically, a safari is not more dangerous than a city break or beach holiday. Above all, remember that you are under constant protection of trained professionals and companies who try very, very hard to provide a magical experience to their guests. Lions don’t raid safari tents, and breakfast spots are selected specifically with total safety in mind. By no means do I mean to interfere with your storytelling, and I also understand you somehow need to package the trip and the footage in a way that excites viewers and boosts your ‘Likes’. But to someone who is very familiar with this style of safari, I also felt compelled to point out that there is a different way of looking at things, especially since you actively give advice to fellow travelers. Finally: it would be helpful if you disclose whether you paid for this trip yourselves like any other guest would, or if you reached some kind of arrangement with this company and they hosted you for free or reduced price. This would help us understand why you are promoting Ruaha (which is undoubtedly a great destination) and telling people to skip the Serengeti, as this may very much be in line with the company’s commercial objectives (even though they also host safaris in Northern Tanzania / Serengeti).
Hi Pedro, thank you very much for taking the time to share in all your safari knowledge. We have lots to learn for sure and are only able to share based on our limited, personal experience and memory of what the guides explained to us at the time. We would love to experience the Serengeti one day and be as fortunate as you to be able to go back time and time again for multiple safari excursions (beyond Tanzania too). This trip is truly is the best thing we’ve ever had the privilege to do. And given that you feel that we didn’t actually encounter that much wildlife in 3 days (even though to us it far exceeded our expectations), well it just goes to show there is more for us to discover. 😊 Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset Hi Tania, I am glad that the safari bug bit you - I vividly recall my first safaris and the excitement of seeing everything for the very first time. I do not mean to belittle the sightings you had, and one lesson I have learned over many safaris is that you should appreciate EVERYTHING you get to see. It's not just about ticking off the Big 5 and big action, all the time. But I still need to make it clear that the wildlife experience is going to be a lot more rewarding in the Serengeti, most of the time. In any case, out of fairness, I still think your viewers deserve to know who paid for this trip as it will help them put your experience and, above all, recommendations into perspective. I have worked with several reputable safari specialists and I can simply not imagine them recommending Ruaha as the ideal destination for someone who may just go on safari once, as spectacular, wild and remote as the park may be. You have quite a sizeable audience and seeing that most guests will have to spend at least several thousands of dollars on any such trip, it would help to know whether your recommendations are based on any commercial arrangements you have with a safari operator (or not).
We cant believe Tania saved Adam from a lion! Loved this video! We went on a safari just like this and relived every moment with you! Such a great feeling!
That scene where Adam saves Tania from a lion is just crazy :-) Really enjoyed this one. African safari is on our bucket list and maybe Ruaha will be the place
I can't believe Adam saved Tania from the lion! .... :-) How could you not watch to the end and want more! Incredible film Tania and Adam. Thank you so very much for being willing to share your incredible experience through your camera lens with us. I felt all the feels following along on your epic adventure and cannot wait to watch the next films. The quality of your filmmaking and storytelling is spectacular. We can feel your heart and joy and gratitude at having these opportunities and the way you interact with the people you meet along the way is a beautiful inspiration.
Gosh this was fabulous from start to finish! Brilliant videography, fabulous photos and Tanias lovely voice over made this one of my favourites! Can’t believe Adam saved Tania from a lion! 🥰
I can’t believe Adam saved Tania from a lion. Wonderful video, makes me want to go on safari. It is like watching a National Geographic video, the quality of the videography is very professional. Can’t wait for the next one!
I can’t believe Adam saved Tania from the lion… What an absolutely incredible video. We were emotional watching it. Surely that’s the best poo with a view ever!!!! Can’t wait to watch the next one. 🎉
I can’t believe Adam saved Tania from the lions! Wow, that was incredible, the close up shots of those giraffes, elephants and lions, were stunning, their features clearly captured on your footage and not always displayed so clearly on regular wildlife films. How surreal to enjoy breakfast and drinks (did they do Calvados?) in those surroundings and with lions nearby. Watching those just feet away, must have felt bizarre and certainly a little (or lot!) scary! I can quite imagine the balloon ride being other worldly, up there looking down at all that wildlife in miniature, with just the occasional blast of the burner, to disrupt the calm, quite magical. Well done, that was so worth waiting for and will of course, be rewatched!
Hey guys!! It’s almost a week since we uploaded this film and we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for taking the time to watch & leave us your thoughtful comments, we are getting to the all!

Your story about Tanzania is the best!
100% worth the opportunity to go on Safari! The kids absolutely loved it! Amazing wildlife! We were able to go to Tanzania 🇹🇿 last year! ❤
Phenomenal 😊
Amazing guys well done on your spectacular capturing of such a magical place 🙌🏻 beautiful ❤
I can't believe Adam saved Tania from a lion! Hi I'm from Johannesburg South Africa so quite familiar with wild life! Have really enjoyed this video Looking forward to your next adventure Love and hugs ❤
Tania and Adam, this is an absolutely phenomenal video and you have captured the experience so beautifully. This is hands down the best RUclips video I have seen, like a beautiful movie capturing a once in a lifetime experience.
Incredible in every way. I don’t know how you do not have millions of subscribers, your videos are impeccable. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us😊
This video gave me goosebumps. Memories of my safari trip 7 years ago came back and now I'm feeling a little 'homesick'. No feeling compares to being out in the bush. The feeling that you're just a tiny little human being and that you're nothing compared to the majestic animals surrounding you. It's so humbling and grounding. Nothing else seems to matter any longer. I want to go back now! 😊
And yes, obviously I also can't believe Adam saved Tania from a lion 😂😂
I hope you had a wonderful trip! 💕
How serendipitous! I've been researching safaris and more specifically Tanzania! Thank you so much for sharing this. Incredible! ❤🎉 -western NY Aimee

I am a seasoned safari traveler and I enjoy watching this type of videos for the wildlife and nature footage, mostly. Beyond professional documentaries, it’s great to get a glimpse of what fellow travelers may have been lucky to spot on their safari. While I don’t think that anyone would expect you to be the ultimate safari experts, there are still a few issues I feel compelled to point out.
First, you identify several species incorrectly:
1:45 The animal you refer to as an impala is a greater kudu (female).
3:54 The animal you refer to as a male impala is a greater kudu (male).
4:52 The animals you refer to as ‘hunting dogs’ are black-backed jackals. When speaking about the ‘dogs’, you say they are ‘rarely seen’ and scavengers. Well, the ‘hunting dogs’ are indeed rarely seen at Ruaha, but they are not scavengers. Quite the contrary, they are Africa’s most prolific hunters who often see their kills stolen by larger predators such as lions or hyenas. Also, the correct name would be ‘Cape hunting dog’, ‘painted dog’ or most commonly ‘African wild dog’. The animals seen in the video (black-backed jackals) are easily spotted on safari (not ‘rarely’) and they rely on scavenging to a certain extent, indeed, for their survival.
17:46 The animal you refer to as wildebeest are African buffalo.
As someone who is enjoying their very first safari and sharing the trip as you go along, I find it rather bold that you promote Ruaha at the expense of the Serengeti. You do so in the video when describing how you had a tower of giraffes all to yourselves, and in the video description when you say, ‘Skip the Serengeti & go on a Safari to Tanzania's Hidden Gem - Ruaha National Park!’. While I obviously understand our very human need to rate and compare, and while I absolutely respect your right to express your opinion and thoughts despite a lack of first-hand experience, I cannot help but gasp at this idea.
First, I’d suggest you visit the Serengeti and become familiar with the many different areas and corners it boasts if you feel the need to compare it to other parks in Tanzania. I have been to the Serengeti many times, and I can assure you that it is a mind-blowing location that boasts the same sense of vastness, wilderness, and isolation. Granted, there will be some vehicle traffic around the most coveted sightings on the busiest roads in the Central Serengeti, but the park is vast and if you plan correctly (with the help of professionals in the know, preferably), you can feel like you have an entire slice of pristine East African savanna to yourself. The problems of overcrowding you allude to are most often associated with the Masai Mara in Kenya, and to a certain extent the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.
But as far as wildlife encounters are concerned, the Serengeti is hard to beat in terms of quality, variety, and abundance.
Which brings me to my next point: for three days on safari in Ruaha, it seems like you didn’t see that much. Therefore, I don’t understand your comment ‘All the wildlife, minus the crowds!’ (In comparison to the Serengeti). This can happen anywhere, but your chances for great sightings in three days would have been much higher in the Serengeti! So, I would very much encourage any first or one-time safari traveler to specifically consider the Serengeti (or the Okavango Delta in Botswana) for this kind of trip if they want to maximize their chances of having a stellar wildlife experience with hospitality to match. To those in the know, Ruaha is a great park for sure but the less obvious choice precisely because sightings can be erratic. That’s part of the reason why the Serengeti is more popular.
Like many RUclipsrs doing this type of video, you also succumbed to the urge of repeatedly alluding to the imminent dangers on safari. Lions that are too close to the tents, keeping an eye out for lions and leopards during picnics, ‘mean’ lone buffalos who may attack you… These are cliches which do a huge disservice to the safari industry, in my opinion. First, let’s start with the facts: any incident on a quality safari is VERY rare. So rare, in fact, that when an enraged elephant bull toppled a safari vehicle in Zambia a few weeks ago and killed a lady in the process, this made international headlines. Of course, safety is to be taken very seriously on safari as one is out in the wild, but I’d argue that, statistically, a safari is not more dangerous than a city break or beach holiday. Above all, remember that you are under constant protection of trained professionals and companies who try very, very hard to provide a magical experience to their guests. Lions don’t raid safari tents, and breakfast spots are selected specifically with total safety in mind.
By no means do I mean to interfere with your storytelling, and I also understand you somehow need to package the trip and the footage in a way that excites viewers and boosts your ‘Likes’. But to someone who is very familiar with this style of safari, I also felt compelled to point out that there is a different way of looking at things, especially since you actively give advice to fellow travelers.
Finally: it would be helpful if you disclose whether you paid for this trip yourselves like any other guest would, or if you reached some kind of arrangement with this company and they hosted you for free or reduced price. This would help us understand why you are promoting Ruaha (which is undoubtedly a great destination) and telling people to skip the Serengeti, as this may very much be in line with the company’s commercial objectives (even though they also host safaris in Northern Tanzania / Serengeti).
Hi Pedro, thank you very much for taking the time to share in all your safari knowledge. We have lots to learn for sure and are only able to share based on our limited, personal experience and memory of what the guides explained to us at the time. We would love to experience the Serengeti one day and be as fortunate as you to be able to go back time and time again for multiple safari excursions (beyond Tanzania too). This trip is truly is the best thing we’ve ever had the privilege to do. And given that you feel that we didn’t actually encounter that much wildlife in 3 days (even though to us it far exceeded our expectations), well it just goes to show there is more for us to discover. 😊 Tania
@@JitsIntoTheSunset Hi Tania, I am glad that the safari bug bit you - I vividly recall my first safaris and the excitement of seeing everything for the very first time. I do not mean to belittle the sightings you had, and one lesson I have learned over many safaris is that you should appreciate EVERYTHING you get to see. It's not just about ticking off the Big 5 and big action, all the time. But I still need to make it clear that the wildlife experience is going to be a lot more rewarding in the Serengeti, most of the time. In any case, out of fairness, I still think your viewers deserve to know who paid for this trip as it will help them put your experience and, above all, recommendations into perspective. I have worked with several reputable safari specialists and I can simply not imagine them recommending Ruaha as the ideal destination for someone who may just go on safari once, as spectacular, wild and remote as the park may be. You have quite a sizeable audience and seeing that most guests will have to spend at least several thousands of dollars on any such trip, it would help to know whether your recommendations are based on any commercial arrangements you have with a safari operator (or not).
Watching from Northern Ireland
Amazing! So fun to know where you’re tuning in from 💛 Thanks for spending your Sunday with us ☺️ xx Tania (Greetings from the Philippines!)
@@JitsIntoTheSunset I should have said I’m from the Philippines, watching from Northern Ireland! You guys are amazing!
Welcome again
Really enjoyable and a great insight, thankyou.
Wow what an incredible way to see Africa with your amazingly talented videography. Thanks so much for sharing.
Amaaazing
We cant believe Tania saved Adam from a lion! Loved this video! We went on a safari just like this and relived every moment with you! Such a great feeling!
I had 3 months overlanding in Southern Africa ,one of the best things ive done in my life.
That looks to be an amazing reserve .
A cold beer please
That scene where Adam saves Tania from a lion is just crazy :-) Really enjoyed this one. African safari is on our bucket list and maybe Ruaha will be the place
Your films are just so beautiful.
Thanks Kristina! ☺️
I can't believe Adam saved Tania from the lion! .... :-) How could you not watch to the end and want more! Incredible film Tania and Adam. Thank you so very much for being willing to share your incredible experience through your camera lens with us. I felt all the feels following along on your epic adventure and cannot wait to watch the next films. The quality of your filmmaking and storytelling is spectacular. We can feel your heart and joy and gratitude at having these opportunities and the way you interact with the people you meet along the way is a beautiful inspiration.
Gosh this was fabulous from start to finish! Brilliant videography, fabulous photos and Tanias lovely voice over made this one of my favourites! Can’t believe Adam saved Tania from a lion! 🥰
I can’t believe Adam saved Tania from a lion. Wonderful video, makes me want to go on safari. It is like watching a National Geographic video, the quality of the videography is very professional. Can’t wait for the next one!
I can’t believe Adam saved Tania from the lion… What an absolutely incredible video. We were emotional watching it. Surely that’s the best poo with a view ever!!!! Can’t wait to watch the next one. 🎉
I can’t believe Adam saved Tania from the lions! Wow, that was incredible, the close up shots of those giraffes, elephants and lions, were stunning, their features clearly captured on your footage and not always displayed so clearly on regular wildlife films. How surreal to enjoy breakfast and drinks (did they do Calvados?) in those surroundings and with lions nearby. Watching those just feet away, must have felt bizarre and certainly a little (or lot!) scary! I can quite imagine the balloon ride being other worldly, up there looking down at all that wildlife in miniature, with just the occasional blast of the burner, to disrupt the calm, quite magical. Well done, that was so worth waiting for and will of course, be rewatched!
