I have been watching your videos all afternoon and decided this like the song: You are simply the best; better than all the rest...that is all I know of the song but you are fantastic in making these wonderful videos....thanks so much for your time!!!
Thank you so much for your high praise of my homeland. Zimbabwe has its problems yes, but the landscape and wildlife will forever be the attraction. This series in Mana Pools, has certainly bought back so many memories of our visits to the area. We spent time with Painted Dogs, lying in the shade close to the road. We saw the biggest crocs we had ever seen at Long pool. Having a huge bull elephant wait for us to pack up our fishing equipment, as this was his crossing point on the river. His footprint obliterated 3 of the 4 indentations from my camp chair! The eland and buffaloes wondering around Nymepi camp in the small hours of the morning. Magical Mana always delivers. Thank you for this series, I look forward to the last episode. Kind regards.
Great vlog! You area wonderful couple and while watching, I reminisced the years I had with my late wife. I am hoping to get to the pools in December 22. As weather is as predictable as lottery tickets, I am hoping the rains will be slow to arrive. I was fortunate to miss the heavy stuff last November/December in Namibia and hoping my luck will hold in that regard. Your videos are awesome however, I would love to see some of your still captures included for the added inspiration. I bet you have some amazing shots. Lastly, come to Canada (west coast in particular) and capture our grizzly bears gorging on salmon in the rivers on their run. Thx! Keep up the great content and team work, it fills my heart to see people like you who are enjoying and sharing a wonderful life. Greetings from Canada🍁
Let’s all go to Mana Pools next year! I’m only seeing this tonight. 2/22/2022. Both of you, me, all of your families and whoever else wants to come! Let me know.
Oh, please make as many episodes that you can. I watch them all!! I cannot always watch at the exact moment, but always watch them all. Just love all of your adventures!
Thank you so much for allowing us to come along on your adventures. I get so excited when I see you have posted a new video. One day it is my dream to go on a Safari with James and listen to all the stories and laugh at all the silly voices you do. You two are AMAZING!!! 😍😍
Hi James and Kirsty, sorry I missed the live chat but have to say that listening to all your answers and stories on this video, is equally as interesting as the actual episodes themselves, so informative and adds so much context to your episodes, in fact if it was combined (take us through your episodes in a live chat) that would be amazing.
You guys are such fun to watch. I love the interaction you're just great together. I enjoy your stories and all the good information that you share. Thanks for taking time to do lives and of course your video series too. Keep safe and well, Gloria 🐂
Sharing your vacations with us is so wonderful! And yes, keep going on many and sharing!!! Would love to see you back on WE. You, James, were the 1st guide to answer a question of mine. (I really had no idea how the live chat worked, so here is my "thank you" for answering my question!🙂❤
Thank you for sharing your trip to Mana Pools and all your other Safari's. I watch the 1st to the last and wouldn't want to miss any of the episodes. I really don't understand why people wouldn't be hooked after watching the first episode. I would love to go on Safari to any location with Wildlife. First I would need an idea of cost, dates, then time to save....probably 2 years! So I am thankful for RUclips and content myself with watching other peoples Safari's. ❤🌹🐆🐘
I was unable to watch live this morning but rest assured i watched the chat start to finish! You both do such a wonderful job. I also can not imagine not watching the entire series! I'm off to see the latest episode... Thank you both & Take Care of your lovely selves 😊😊
Thanks for the chat and catching us up with you. Just so you know, I watch every episode of each series and I'm sure most of us do. I do share with others also. You both are so good to share your time and talents. I hope WE takes you up and has you do some drives as you are sorely missed. Your videos get better every time. I think you do great work and you get even better. Now I'm going to be greedy and ask for a new Songs and Stories when you have the time! But don't let it take away from finishing your book, which I am eagerly looking forward to! Take care and be well!
Hello beautiful people James and Kirsten..missed this chat live but loved hearing you both chat to us all..may never see and experience what you share with us all so love you both sharing your adventures with us... Maybe one day you could come Down under..WA and check out our Wildlife xxx
Loved the wild dog sound. Sounded like a car I once had. A 1999 VW Gold MK4. The starter had a problem so it would make a "barking" sound at the end of its cranking cycle and then my engine sounded exactly like that. The previous owner took out all the silencers. I called it Scorpion 🦂. After that good sound demo from you, I think I should have named it Bingo the wild dog.
I did feel bad for not watching all the Botswana episodes - so I went back and looked but there is no 13th episode! However, the 12th was wonderful - as were all the others, of course. Thanks to you both for making every episode a gem.
So James. You sang happy birthday to yourself, I think. While in Mana Pools or therabouts. Is it your actual birthday? What date is your birthday? Love your videos btw.
Enjoy your shows. You should make that trip to Malawi. When we lived there the parks excellent. Kasungu, Majete this was just a wilderness area with large herds of Sable . Now a up market park . Banks of Shire River nesting site for Carmine Bee Eaters. Lake beautiful and people unbelievably friendly.
@@JamesHendry Not good to go at present due to floods in Lower Shire , Malawi is poor but people magnificent and never had any problems there ,Zim , Zambia , Kenya, Mozambique . I used to drive down from Malawi to RSA only problems always Biet Bridge coming into RSA. Botswana also excellent. Uganda even in days of Idi , a good friend of mine played rugby with him when he was in lived in Jinja. Different before he was president .Keep Safe ,God Bless you both.
A wonderful series James and Kirsten, I look forward to future episodes. You are probably aware that a Zim businessman, Peter Evershed, was killed by lions while showering at Chitake Springs in 2010.
From Ex-Ranga to a Ranga, slightly disappointed that Kirsten didn't want to come to Aussie to see Platypus :D Thank you both so much for these chats though, even watching them after they are done it does feel like you are part of the convo. Cheers :D
@@JamesHendry It is worth a visit, even though I am really rather biased. Added bonus can potentially see some Devils too, though they are far harder to see than Platypus. There is the odd nice winery and we do a decent dram down here too.
The wild dogs have become master baboon hunters .. no other place know in Southern Africa has any packs of wild dogs have done this . The reason been is the baboons has worked out when hunted by leopards they generally always run up trees .. so can a leopard . So now the baboons have decided to keep running past the trees but they lack the stamina of that of a wild dog . So in the end the baboon runs out of puff so to speak, making them easy to catch and consume. I have been fortunate enough to have witnessed many wild dog hunts at mana pools. Chitake is a another part of mana that is wilder than wild . Dangerous at night if camping.. never venture out at night when at Chitake ! The baboons at Chitake are also very different in personality . They seem not to harass the public or even make eye contact with humans . Long pool yes is the one pool that has hundreds of flat dogs ( crocs ) 😂. Zimbabwe has so much to offer in terms of landscape . Wildlife is so much better in different regions of Zimbabwe if you know the country… fortunately I was born and raised there . Walking on foot around Mana is generally very safe if you understand the body language of the animals.. be aware of your surroundings and be vigilant at all times . You see more on foot and experience more of the wildlife seeing them in their own habitat more than from a vehicle.
You two are so much fun! But if you really want to see wolves in Yellowstone the main viewing season is winter…..and winter in Yellowstone is FRIGID. I am also dying to go see them and trying to decide if I can handle the cold. Also the states that comprise or surround Yellowstone have opened up wolf hunting to such an egregious degree this year, that everyone is waiting to see how the tourism industry is impacted. A full Yellowstone pack has been decimated this year alone….by baiting them out of the park. There are many groups trying desperately relist the wolves on the endangered list in the US but it hasn’t happened yet; We are fighting hard though. Stay tuned……and be prepared with some serious clothing and winter gear if you want to go see them in Jan-Feb-March.
WHEN U WALKED WITH THE WILD-DOGS UNLIKE WITH MOST PEOPLE WHO DO IT YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE CORRECTLY +KNOW WHAT SAFTEY PRECAUTIONS R NECCESSARY+DON'T DO NONSENSE.
James never stop being you.your awesome.thanks for the the clean entertainment.
An excellent talk on how they manage to make their amazing journeys that result in these great videos.

Also FYI I watch every single episode of your travels…..maybe not live but certainly soon after
Thanks Lisa!
