You make me homesick for Africa Botswana. I need to come back and I like what you do. Keep safe

See you guys sometimes in future. You rock...👌👌👌
How lucky you guys to be out on the river!! i wish I was there... xoxo
It is so beautiful out there...
Like watching a Nat Geo, great stuff!!!
Awesome, thank you! High praise indeed.
Thanks for sharing all of you - my favorite stretch of water in the whole world ................. I am so jealous!!!!!
Hi Neville. Great to hear from you. Hope you are well.
I love these videos!
The Captain is shooting with Nikon !!!! Great video guys
Well spotted. Loads of new Nikon content coming in the next few weeks. Stayed tuned...and subscribed!
I can't wait to go there soon.
Fantastic to see you guys out on the river again,wonderful filming and as ever photography at it’s best,thank you.
Many thanks Laurence!
What a delight to again view some of the activity happening on the Chobe River. Phenyo, the young Captain was just in training last Nov. 2019 and we had some interesting conversations about camera equipment. I was using professional Nikon gear which he seemed to be impressed with, as well he spoke of one day maybe being able to acquire his own personal professional gear. With the photo experiences available it would be a shame if he didn't progress to become a world renown wildlife photographer. It was a pleasure watching this video and to see that young man's smile again. Just as I remember him during our short visit on the Chobe River photographing together.
Im sure Phenyo is watching. if not I will pass on your comments to him. Thank you.
I Love Namibia, the Kalahari and the Karoo. I have never been to Botswana, one of my great dreams. However, as a widow and Pensioner, I do not think this dream will ever be realised. With the COVID Pandemic I have lost my income as well. I am also in Tourism and have 2 Self-catering cabins, that was and is my only income. So I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for sharing this video. At least I can imagine I am there while doing a virtual tour with you. Enjoy every second and know how Blessed you guys are to be able to do this. Stay safe and keep them coming!
Thank you Sanet. I hope your cabins are fully occupied again soon. All the best.
Thanks for the video. Lovely to see the river again and be transported back there. You have a special place. Looking forward to joining you again soon.
I really think it's about time you came and see us again soon Stuart!!! Take care and love to the family.
My heart is full, thank you for sharing your cruise with us. So well filmed. I imagined I was part of it all, planning my shots, and enjoying
Not too long Cheryl and you will be there......
It`s my dream to go on this trip. oh well.
Appreciate the tutorials and tips - thank you
Its a pleasure Sarah.
Amazing video guys. We are so thankful for being with you for a week. Just arrived back to California and remembering the good times we had; What a classy operation; Guts was our awesome host and impressed us with the detail of thinking that goes into photography and everything else; It’s not just pressing a button. Thank you, Guts. Everyone was just awesome on the Voyager as well at the Pangolin Hotel. We got to meet Sabine and Janine. THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT EXPERIENCE. Kate and Ray Lander
We SO hope we can come to Pangolin again in 2021. We had such a fabulous trip with Charl - can't wait to return. Chobe and the Okavango Delta are both incredible and Pangolin is the very best!
Thank you Jann.
Amazing video, guys - thanks. Brings back such special memories. Stay well.
We will Les thank you.
What a rare moment: 4 of the Planets' most experienced Professional Photographic Hosts on a one of a kind photographic platform, guided by Pangolin Chobe Hotels' "King of the hospitality hosts"!! Pangolin Photo Safaris - simply light years ahead.
Thank you Tjaart.
Brilliant, like it. Very informative and good tips. Will definitely try some of those techniques. Keep it up, love watching Pangolin on the Chobe.

We are optimistic that normal service will resume by then.
Simply beatifull...
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing cant wait to join you guys. Thanks
Its going to be great!
First I want to say thank you all for all the photography instructions, I have learned a ton! I’m watching all the videos for the second time. I hope to see you on the Chobi in 2022 or 2023. It looks fantastic! Keep the videos coming. :)
Great to hear! Thank you Steven
So awesome!
Glad you enjoyed the little trip on the Chobe ;) -Sabine
The driver looks like a kool guy.....good skill.....well done
Love all your posts, feel like I've been transported back to the Chobe. Can't wait to return
Looking forward to seeing you again Denise.
We are coming!! So clear that you all love what you do - very magical and emotional to watch.
Oh the life of perfect light and peace. Let’s hope 2021 will be a much better year you you guys . I would love to join you right about now as that sun sets over the river. Wonderful blog thanks 🙏🏻
We're keeping our fingers crossed that things calm down for our trip with you next year. We love your videos and tutorials please keep them coming.
We intend to Jim. Looking forward to seeing you.
That boat is wonderful as well as the shots produced aboard it. And you can do it bare foot... I love it!
After all you are on holiday with us :) cheers Janine
@@PangolinWildlife I wish! That for sure a dream trip!
Awesome...more content coming up yeiiii 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yes indeed!
Wonderful !!
Thanks Richard.
Great people on a lovely river - miss it a lot!
Thanks Brendon...Hope you are well!
I always enjoy watching your videos. I feel like I always learn something . Hopefully Abby will get the opportunity to come and visit late next year.It’s on my bucket list.
You guys should have used a 24-70 or 70-200 for large mammals, particularly to include the environment. That elephant scene would have been a perfect example. Although you'll surely get more chances...
Great video the joys of having something all to yourself peaceful relaxing
It sure is
This is 100% on my list to be a part of this fabulous adventure. Thank-you for all your shares ...love it all!.
Pleasure Michelle. See you soon.
Great to see you back out on the river, with the amazing wildlife on the Chobe. I actually had tears in my eyes watching this. I am sad we had to postpone our trip, but at the same time so happy to see you out there, and I'm learning more about photography each week. Thank you for sharing and keeping the dream in my heart. We'll be re-arranging our trip as soon as it's safe to do so.
Glad you enjoyed it. See you soon!
Beautiful! Thanks for bringing the adventure to us. Great tips!
Our pleasure!
I just cant wait till we can again be on the river with you guys. We were booked for this year and are devastated it all fell apart. As soon as we get word we will be there. Phenyo our great mate, made our stay very special.
Fingers crossed! We are hoping it will reopen for everyone soon.
I have to do that trip, I love your programme and teachings.
Thank you, Alberto. We look forward to seeing you one day....soon I hope.
Looks fabulous. Here in Uk it will be a while until safe to fly if you are vulnerable. Something to look forward to when the time comes
Hopefully sooner rather than later eh?
@@PangolinWildlife You are on my wish list asap
I hope the countries there and our country too open up soon! I need to see the animals again and feel nature all around me!
We hope so too...hopefully sooner rather than later.
Great to see again guys - just as beautiful as ever ! Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing cant wait for travelling times again. Was in Tanzania and Kenya last year following the Wildebeest migration which was the most amazing experience of my life. Chobe was next so just cant wait for when we can start travelling safely again. Your tutorials on photography are awesome I have learned so much, thank you
Amazing! Looking forward to welcoming you to The Chobe.
Your on my bucket list......soon I hope.
I a, so jealous of you guys having a River to yourself. I know you miss the clients, but we will be back next t year
Can't wait to see you again Buddy!
Small world Buddy! I didn't know you also travel with Pangolin! Maybe our paths will cross there!
@@vsmcl3979 that would be cool. Actually, until last year, I made several photo trips to Florida each winter (Feb - April) to shoot birds. I'd like to start that back up so we may run into each other in more than one place.
@@BuddyEleazer That would be fun! LMK in advance and we can hook up.
These images are wonderful! We can’t wait to plan our safari when things are more stable!
You know where we are. Ready when you are.
What a great video!! Enjoyed it so much but it makes me long to return again. Hope to see you all in 2021
I hope so too!
Love the Chobe River, so sad our trip to visit you in August this year is postponed till August next year - only bonus is that I have extended our stay with you. Always learn so much from your videos Thank you.
Thanks for the smiles. So look forward to being able to join you back on the Chobe
Hopefully not long now.
Thank you for sharing - I got quite emotional watching, one of my favourite places the Chobe River - so fortunate to have experienced Pangolin last year and just love it! Enjoy those quiet moments while you can - we are so looking forward to coming back!
We are looking forward to hosting you again.
Hey guys. Fantastic and educational. Really appreciate your videos. Just a query what cameras and lens are you using ? Best wishes from Ireland. Some day a dream to get to South Africa. Stay safe. John
Lucky you. The best I have is garden birds coming to my feeder!
Have you seen Charl's video about the hide he made in his garden? ruclips.net/video/XxMPPSqDJaA/видео.html
Wow miss you guys - thank you for sharing this video. Enjoy nature at its best
Our pleasure!
OMG you have brought tears to my eyes. I didn't realize how much I miss the Chobe and Africa until seeing this video. I should be packing for departure but alas.... not meant to be. And, as Buddy said, I too am jealous that you have that glorious river to yourselves! Enjoy the tranquility and will be there soonest
It would be better with a few fellow photographers to enjoy it with!
Just stunning! Really hoping to join you guys for 2021 🤞
I hope so too!
Wonderful. We can't wait to be back there
Looking forward to seeing you.
I am so hoping to be able to come in March 2021--if we are allowed to travel by then from the USA!
We are optimistic that you will be able to.
What joy to work in such a natural environment. I would love to have a job like that:) Enjoy it, stay well and healthy. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Margaret. Hope you are well.
Great to see you all back in action. Thanks for the lovely shots to wet our appetite. All the best and hope to see you soon. Johann and Henriette
Thanks 👍 Looking forward to seeing you.
I miss it sooooooo much! Please give my love to the elephant babies!!!!
We will. Thanks.
I need to do this, it looks amazing.
You should!
Had to stop the video. I'd like to be surprised at least a little when I get there.
WOW! Absolutely stunning. Chobe has been added (close to the top) of locations I want to visit. Hope to make a booking with you as soon as global conditions permit.
Hope to visit soon...
Excellent!
Beautiful as ever! Loving the imagination used by the team when taking shots of the Ele's! Thanks for sharing and of coarse I'm super jealous : )
Thank you so much!
Nice choice of music to beautifully produced film.
Thanks Hugh. Janine did the edit. We are very proud of it.
This is a dream, I have to do this, i love take pictures wildlife but, I dont speak english very well and i have not someone to go with me. I don´t have courage for to go alone.
Hi Natalia, we would take such good care of you and have a lot of single travellers ... as we have all our meals together in a communal fashion you will never feel alone. Cheers Janine
@@PangolinWildlife Thank you so much for your attention . 🙏😊 Next year maybe. I'm gonna think about it.
See you all in November! Save some good shots for us:)
What i would give to be back in southern Africa 🌍
It can be arranged!
@@PangolinWildlife In Corona times I don't see any possibility, especially for flying via ZA.
Nice video. See you next year instead of next week! Can't wait!
Thanks! You too!
I really enjoy your videos. They are very well done and your photography guides are outstanding. I hope you can get back to conducting photo tours soon.
I hope so too!
Dit was nou lekkerus!
Dankie Willie.
I found you guys by chance. I've always wanted to go to Africa and have looked at other photo safaris before. Yours actually look worth the price. It's become a goal of mine and feel much more attainable now that I've found something specific. Maybe in 2 years I will have saved up enough to go. Hoping you guys will keep having your Best of Chobe budget safari option available.
Hi Gabriella. Glad you found us. Of course we will have budget options available always. Most of our clients don't want 5 star luxury but rather more time in the bush to get more shots for the same price.
Hmm.... well, please wait for me, getting there to be with you all is a dream with a plan behind it! Hope to meet each one of you! What a nice video and happy that your back out on the river! Stay healthy and eat spirulina ! )))
Not sure they have much spirulina in The Chobe but we can try!
Kyk, nou is ek moerse jaloers!!! Enjoy it!
Thank you Johann
Hey guys, really homesick but great to see the team well :)
Cheers mate...hope you are well. Plenty of time to go see if you can find the infamous Knysna Elephant(s)!!!
Lucky of you now that it is not crowded. When I went there there were too many boats.
Were you with us Ivan?
Mein Gott!! Wie schön du bist! Sei mein kleines Elefantchen 😍
Vielen lieben Dank, die Elefanten werden auf Dich warten bis die Grenzen wieder öffnen!
@@PangolinWildlife 🤗😍 mich können keine Grenzen aufhalten
Great video, keep them comming guys.
We will!
@@PangolinWildlife I really like the videos that show the animals you get to see on one of your safaris, but would love to watch one where you follow a group during their stay on a Pangolin Safari.
I’d just love to know what it must be like staying at that incredible hotel or riding on the river boat during one of the drives, or staying on the house boat.
Your safaris look incredible & meticulously planned & organised & I love the gimbals on the boats.
I’m never going to be able to afford one of your safaris, but I would love to watch someone who can & be able to see the excitement in their face when they see an elephant up close or experience something for the first time.
I loved the images that you guys managed to take during your outing especially the elephant close ups.
Really sorry about the long reply. Mark🇬🇧
@@SuperFucdat Thank you for your reply...which can never be too long when so complimentary! Its a great idea. As soon as we are open again...which we believe will be soon...we will give it a go. Thank you again and keep well.

🤩
;-)
Well done all at Pangolin, l have done two safaris, but would love to do one with the emphasis and backup you provide. Look forward to talking to you in the future. Thank you.
Thanks Gerald. Looking forward to hosting you on your third! Is there anything you haven't seen yet? Any particular subjects you are still after?
Hello I had a question I am asking is a canon powershot sx430is 20MP 45×optical zoom extended up to 180× great for safari photography?
I love your opinions that's why I am asking
Your Fan😎😎😎
We always say that the best camera is the one you have in your hand. Canon make very good cameras throughout their range.
@@PangolinWildlife very true it's all about the skill you have
what month was this ?
Have you ever been to The Chobe? Did you know about The Chobe before this video?
I have been but never really went into the river before
Next time!
I enjoyed a Pangolin Safari in 2017 and love to watch your videos for inspiration, tips and to reminisce!
@@sirromja you have to come and see the hotel now!
2008, at the lodge in the park. Both land cruiser and boat trips. My wife is not an animal person but was in love with wildlife, especially the elephants that were almost close enough to touch. Would love to return. I have recommended Chobe to many people. Can’t go wrong with Chobe. Also went to Etali in SA. Luckily, other places too!
Please get your airports open and I'm there
Ha ha. If we could we would....Not long now though.
Great video! Where can I find the music you used here?
We usually use Artlist so might be in there. Have you tried the Shazam app? can listen to the tune and maybe identify it. Free download.
Thank you! By the way, I have found Pangolin videos to be the most informative to me, personally. I have learned something new from all of you. For example, Charl's hints on bird behavior/behaviour was enlightening!
@@scottthompson5263 Thank you. Will make sure Charl sees this. Hope to see you in The Chobe one day!
one day I will make it out there to see you all then you can show me how to take photographs
It would be our pleasure.
What's your airport code when booking flight ticket?
Kasane is BBK. That the closest to the Chobe and where our place is. www.pangolinphoto.com
Why were you not allowed on the river before??
Hi Hugh. the river is the border between Namibia and Botswana and was out of bounds for a few months during lockdown. Delighted to say that is no longer the case.
I wouldn't be so worried about death of field getting close to the croc, I'd be more worried about being eaten.
