Raya, sorry this is a long one. First of all, I'm so glad you came this far both in RUclips and in life, I've been watching your videos from the begining and I can tell from the other side of the screen how much you've grown. Second, I would like to ask a few questions that you can maybe put on a Q&A, so here they go: -how did you tell your parents you wanted to drop the "average" life and start travelling the world? -did they accept it easily or did you have any arguments? -how do you manage to pay for your travels? Is it all youtube or do you work sometimes? I hope this one doesn't come out as insolent! Thank you very much for showing me life can be lived in a different way! :)
My aunt and uncle just moved to Africa so some of my family and I are planning to go there and visit them next year. and now I can't wait to go there!!!!!!! This looks awesome!! Really needed this
I found your channel after you appeared in Stephen and Jess' videos from your trip and I absolutely love it - including this video! Seems like y'all had such an amazing trip! (:
WOW. Raya loved your video. You have inspired me to travel around the world, be free and enjoy life. A few days ago I was searching You Tube videos on South Africa and today I see yours. This is exactly what I would like to do when I go there. Thank you for uploading
Such an amazing vlog Raya!! It was filmed SO well and it all looked so amazing and spectacular! Also congrats on how far you've come!! I remember watching you're vlogs when you were around 5k subs and I'm just so happy to see where you are now!! 💕💕
Wow Raya your videos are few and far between but are definitely some of the best on You Tube! Your perspective and "camera work" on what ever it is your filming is always so incredibly beautiful. I love that you talk or explain a little about where you're at or what your filming, especially when it comes to wildlife. Such a great opportunity to show us not only the beauty but educate us a little about the realities and challenges some of the wildlife around us face.....thank you......can't wait to see what's next! :)
This vlog was amazing. ur editing skills are.. wow, it was so well put together with the music and clips and smiles and people having a good time and animals.. I really enjoy ur style because u not only film what ur doing but you always throw in a bit of education as well. I smiled the entire video! Thanks for making my day Raya. xx
Raya everything about this was beautiful! The shots, the landscapes, the animals the tranquility and so much more! You also look beautiful and you have such a sparkle in your eyes!
Great work Raya. I have fallen in love with South Africa since we have visited last year. Such a beautiful and lovely country with amazin nature and nice and friendly people.
you improved so much since your first vlog, well done Raya, I love your videos, you are great!!! Keep it up the good work, you are such an inspire person!
Love your video!😄 You and Louis should definitely go to Peru, it has one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world:) you can literally go skiing, hiking, canoeing and visit one of the worlds ancient ruins, Machu Pichu!
When I saw the Elephants I was also speechless! They always have been my favorite animals! It's so cool to see animals in the wild being free rather than in a zoo. What a beautiful vlog Raya great job!
I loved seeing the different vlog versions! I've watched Louis', Kalel's, and now yours. I'm extremely jealous of all the fabulous sights you got to experience, but I'm so happy you guys were able to share it with us. I really wish there was something more that we could do for the rinos - it makes me so sad to know that there are only a few of them left in the world. :(
Golden Wanderlust Have you watched the other RUclipsr's videos? I haven't gone and checked them out yet - but I plan to. Louis' diving vlog was beyond amazing.
Raya, thank you again for your last video, and now thank you for this beautiful vlog, and sharing your impressions. Your videos are getting better and better, love it! xo
You're such a wonderful and incredible person Raya, thanks for sharing! I can't wait to travel the world and to be able to share those experiences with loved ones :)
This video is so exciting! I'm going to Africa for the first time this year and going on my first safari... yippee! This video makes me excited. Happy Travels :)
I absolutely love your videos Raya! They make me so happy :) Only this time I wanted to share a few thoughts on your comments with you. You said there's a rhino being killed/dying every six hours...it hurt me as much as you hearing that, but the next second I thought: omg we are killing thousands of lovely animals EVERY SECOND...for nothing... :( And your thoughts about those animals living in the wild and the beautifulness of observing them there...soooo beautiful, I agree 100%...and still we are caging billions of animals...again for nothing...just because we feel like it. I hope this world is turning for the better really soon... Much love and please keep up doing those great vids!
looks like an amazing trip ill have to add it to my list i have just conquered europe on contiki and I'm editing the videos for my channel as we speak! have fun!!
Hey, great video! I went to Namibia in May, it was awesome! I made a video about it on my channel. Since then I'm in love with Africa! Definitely going back!
Невероятно! Райче, може ле да дадеш малко повече инфо за местоположението и "хотела", който между другото изглежда страхотно. Lovely Raya keep travelling and making us part of it! 😘 #allensupercute
Raya you're awesome , I love your travel vids and q and a but honestly you tubers never mention how they can afford these trips and how to budget for them. Your parents clearly have money and support you , but how would be suggest to someone who doesn't have that ability to travel and stuff ?
This is incredible Raya!
+Christian's Travel Vlog i love her vlogs !
I absolutely loved this Raya! What an epic trip with wonderful memories. Loved the music choice too. =)
Thanks Ange! It was such an unforgettable trip, your country is amazing!

Aw thank you!!
great video! i love the music you used and especially how you matched the beat to the video cuts. perfect!
Glad you enjoyed my home, Raya! South Africa is a very special place.
The very second this video started and I saw that sky my eyes grew about 5x their original size.
This African trip was one of my most favorite trips that u and Louis made for sure... Loved it... And ur video presentations are great too :)
Raya everything about this was beautiful! The shots, the landscapes, the animals the tranquility and so much more! You also look beautiful and you have such a sparkle in your eyes!
I love game drives, one of my favorite things to do. Can't wait to go on more in the future!
So beautifully captured Raya! Your vlogs just keep on getting better and better. I always get excited to see your vlog in my feed. ✌️💙💛💜😝
Watching louis' daily vlogs, and then yours, yours is like an awesome summary/highlight reel. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS RAYA :D
I'm going to Africa this summer and it looks so beautiful now I'm super excited
Never taught about going in a safari until watching your video. Amazing!
Great work Raya. I have fallen in love with South Africa since we have visited last year. Such a beautiful and lovely country with amazin nature and nice and friendly people.
Yeah guuuurl, awesome video :) I'm so glad that you had a good time, the bush is my ultimate happy place
Thanks! Omg it's so amazing, I have to come back (and this time you're coming along!)

They are so insanely beautiful! Yeah that was my favorite part, getting to see all these animals in their home :) thanks!
+RayaWasHere No problem!
I loved seeing the different vlog versions! I've watched Louis', Kalel's, and now yours. I'm extremely jealous of all the fabulous sights you got to experience, but I'm so happy you guys were able to share it with us.
I really wish there was something more that we could do for the rinos - it makes me so sad to know that there are only a few of them left in the world. :(
+SeeKaysee Omg i do the same, the points of views are all so different, yet similar at the same time. The lions were crazy close.
Golden Wanderlust Have you watched the other RUclipsr's videos? I haven't gone and checked them out yet - but I plan to. Louis' diving vlog was beyond amazing.
Enjoyed this vlog very much. Well done, Raya!
looking forward to more videos from South Africa.

Невероятно! Райче, може ле да дадеш малко повече инфо за местоположението и "хотела", който между другото изглежда страхотно.
