FABULOUS!!!! And Pete has got to be a total video savant--he has gone from amateur to epic pro in no time flat. It just started and I'm already blown away!
Somewhere there is a shot of me absolutely caked in mud thanks to Simon and Dacar😂 felt like the guy riding sham in that last scene of Secretariat (if you know you know)😂
When I did a similar trip with Ant's they said the horses are allowed to graze because it signals safety to the *animals* you are watching. (Also nice for the horses but not why they do it.) With these outfits the houses live out on the reserve, the animals get to know them and if the horses are relaxed and grazing the wildlife will relax as well.
The history of the Boerperd is divided into two phases. A first phase took place between around 1652 and 1836, when the first horses arrived at the Cape - Barb-Arabian crosses imported from Java. Bred with Andalucian and Persian Arab horses, these animals formed the basis of a recognised breed known at the time as the Cape Horse.
Oh, so cool that Simon is with you guys! He is so funny! I absolutely love what your new editor has been doing with your vlogs Meg. She's definitely up your game. Not that they weren't great and fun before. 100% huge fan! Can't wait for the next vlog. It is just beautiful there, the horses look great and like so much fun to ride. Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you and Pete. ❤❤❤
have to say...the minute Smiley-Simon appeared I think there was a collective HURRAH from even you lot but definitely the audience!! Best addition to the team ever!! 🌟🌟
20:50 not Simon saying "impala" with a shot of Elands 😂(Lovely montage after 22:05 though Peter!) Fascinating to see how lush everything is! I have family in SA and I guess I've never visited at the right time for greenery. Very pleased you got to meet some Boerperds, they are lovely horses!
Only half way through and Kate’s witty humour already has me howling 😂 what an entertaining trip you must have had 😂 looking forward to watching the rest of it!

NATURE ,OUTDOORS AND LIVING THAT CHILL LIFE IS WHAT WE IN SOUTH AFRICA BELIEVE IN. LOVE FROM DURBAN- SOUTH AFRICA. 😎💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🙂🙂
Never seen Botswana in the "green coat"..... so incredibly beautiful!!! Love that you are joined by Simon and Kate!!! ❤❤ Really looking forward to more content!!!
What a stunning place! Pete must have enjoyed getting to play with such beautiful shots compared to rainy old Blighty. Gorgeous horses - looked so much fun.
The last time I was in Tanzania East Africa my then husband & I went in a hot air balloon journey to follow part of the wildebeest migration 😀 It was fantastic.. Enjoy you're time out there, I know you will 😊 xx
As a ex South African Love how she pronounced boerperd 😂. Joburg with its summer rain and lightning storms you must have been surprised to have rain storms in 30°+ weather
just came back from half a year of volunteering at a horse farm and a safari lodge in southern africa and you’re really making me miss it :’) you captured the african wildlife experience beautifully
I hope you had a great time in South Africa on safari. I live in Johannesburg area and have my lovely horse Capi who really looks after me being an older rider. I love all your videos really learnt a lot and find you really fun to watch. Enjoy yourselves. I hope there are more videos of your trip. Regards Jane.

Boer means farmer. Boer is an Afrikaans word for farmer. Afrikaans is another language spoken in South Africa.
@@kristiwetsel9531hope this helps 😊
Afrikaans people in South Africa are decendants from Dutch and Huguenot settlers in the 17th Century who came over to South Africa

Boerperde they are so good horses I also own one
Hope you enjoy you trip meg❤
Ah " boerperde" now I understand . I'm from BE and have never heard of these horses. Are these "farmerhors" a breed of their own?
