    Thank you Richard for this lovely video you have made with so much love toward the animals and birds of the veld of the Great Kruger Park. I loved all the wildlife; from the little wildcat, the birds, the leopards, lions, snake, buffalo, redbuck, snake, baboons, serval, elephant, badger to the giraffe. Your photography is clear and lovely. Thank you for taking us on this wonderful trip.😄

    Richard, we lived in RSA, Eswatini and Mozambique for a period of about 30 years before retiring and returning to the USA. We made Kruger our only holiday destination from all three countries and totally love the place. We stumbled upon your videos and immediately fell in love with them. Your videos of Kruger make us feel like we are back there as we see so many of the places that we loved visiting, especially in the Satara area. Watching your videos as you cruise up the H1-4 brings back so many good memories. And we love the fact that you always give us the names of the birds that you see and film. We also like the quiet background music you add to your films. They add rather than distract from what we are seeing. Thank you so very much for your excellent work. We'll keep watching for any new videos you post.

    That Honey Badger with baby is just amazing. Also, to have 2 leopards just sit in the road like that, a dream. I don't go to Satara nearly often enough. I tend to go to Skukuza only. Definitely need to give Satara another try.

    The birds were gorgeous! They are largely overlooked in favor of bigger animals, so it's a pleasure to see them. They have such a wonderful variety of colors; seemingly more than other places/videos I've seen. I'm so grateful for your interest in sharing them, and I've never been a "bird person." 😀

    Wonderful, thank you so much Richard. Your gentle commentary and superb cinematography are always such a treat. I like the very low key music. I would prefer no music at all to be able to enjoy the sounds of the bush but you have created a great balance. Thank you for labelling the birds. We are trying to learn them before our first Kruger trip next April!
    Favourite bit was the leopard slowly walking along the road in the mist and morning sun- Heaven! And the honey badger.

The whole thing is thrilling. I am so lucky I found this video. I shall never have the chance to visit there, so your video is the only way I can witness such things. Thank you. It is profoundly moving to see the group of elephants moving through the land. Thank you dear young man.

    Saw hyena later on...Ok Wild dogs. Thanks for putting on screen animal names.... fun to i.d. them!
    All of the cats, and yes the male leopard was stunning. Interesting genealogy with video of his ancestor...
    Just an unbelievable trip with many animals sighted. Wonderful screenshots for me, too.
    Always been a dream to get to Eastern Africa for a photo safari. With a recorder for the sounds. They are magic to me... what a peaceful video...great editing, too!

The honey badger was special. I love the S147 and your leopard and small cats were also great. The burchells coucal sighting also showed its strong feet and toes that makes it such a successful predator.

    Excellent video, and commentary. I appreciate the balanced enthusiasm for both animals and birds, it keeps the experience rich. It's uncanny how our family had a similar sighting (June 2024) of badger with baby (anyone willing to guess or ell us what a baby badger is termed?). I have been to Kruger as a child and adult and not yet seen a serval, so that was my favourite scene! I'm reminded what a additional dimensions video gives, over photos. Moving pictures with audio; feels like I was almost there, and hungry to visit the bush soon!

I we had a leopard crossing the road in front of us and then walking within a few feet of us, pausing to look at us and then continuing. We also had a close encounter with Duke, the old elephant with the huge tusks. BUT your sighting of the honey badger and cub was really awesome, as were your leopards, lions and multitudinous birds. Your editing is great and the music is quite relaxing.

However I know that everyone has different experiences and that’s all part of it!

    Wonderful video. Used to visit Kruger every year for about 20 or more years. Miss it terribly as now older & live in the karoo. Always camped & loved it. Thanks for the memories & also for naming the birds. One forgets as u get older❤

    We have been to KNP 25 times and my last bucket list is the 26th time. Satara is the best for cats,Olifants for beauty, Letaba for river viewing, Crocodile bridge for cats,monkeys. Elephants and rhino are my favourite. You had a wonderful trip.

    We absolutely take this gem for granted... I worked on projects inside the park and have some wonderful scary memories, that I will cherish...the post rain smell of the bush...adult elephants behaving like children in the dam...and walking into Buffalo...Maybe mention a few trees like the Jackle-berry...still the best sight is the leopard...great video thanks

    Richard what a fabulous video. We moved to Sweden 9 years ago. Satara was one of my favourite camps when we lived in South Africa. You have a lovely way of filming your unique spottings. Thank you.

    Always love the painted/hunting dogs. Amazed by the poor honey badger's poor pup being bounced about by its impatient (?) mother. The barred owlet call surprised me, sounding quite dove-like. Elephant squirting the raptor. Lots to delight.

    Absolutely Amazing, I landed in your channel by chance. I look after a 94 year old lady with Dementia, she enjoys videos about wildlife and nature. I was looking for something to watch and your channel pop out. She couldn't take her eyes off the screen the all time. I really enjoyed how relaxed the video was . I have Africa in my heart as I lived very close to the Cruger National Park for so many years. I wish you all the best for your channel and we will subscribe. Greetings from London.

    Thank for this amazing video , Richard . Your voice is clear and easy on the ear . I thought your music was well chosen , relaxing and slightly soporific, but didn’t detract from the images . It’s hard to choose which sighting I enjoyed the most , but the leopard in the mist is a top contender . I loved the birds and the clear identification, and particularly enjoyed the close up of the African barred owlet calling . The civet was fantastic , and the honey badger with the pup also just incredible. We are going to KNP in November and will spend time at Olifants ( S147 every day I’m sure !) . We need to decide between Shingwedzi and Satara, this video might help me to make up my mind 😂

    Hey Richard! I live in Joburg and am heading to the Kruger at the end of the month. Watching your videos has made me so keen as well as educating me about the park and all the wildlife it boasts. I think my family and I will have a much better chance at sightings now I've learnt some things from you. Keep it up your content is amazing!

    I love the Kruger park, we used to live 1 km away from the Phalaborwa gate, 36 years we lived there. Now 11 years in Jeffreysbay, but I so much miss the Kruger Park. I used to drive in at least 3 times a week, driving to Letaba and Olifants camp.
    Enjoy your stay and driving around looking at all the beautiful animals!

    I must Admit that l couldn't make up my mind about the Honey Badger carrying her little one and the Lioness pulling her cub out of the Tree - had a Chuckle watching her - looked like she was telling Cubby that that was high enough, come down now ! Thanks for that relaxing Trip shared while watching.
