Huge hats off to the camera man, well done. Exceptional footage
I didn play in the caprivi. But walked 6000 combat miles.fully laden with50 kg kit .once 65 kg.
One night an elephant cow and calf walked inside our temporary base in Zambia. She panicked when she got to the middle and tusked my Sargent in the thigh and ploughed a few meters .he survived and his name was kritzinger .6 south africa infantry .chuck norris hold Sargent s beer
Amazing content!!
Awesome film. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
As I watch this film, it is starting to snow here in northeast Pennsylvania. The weather guru's have stated we'll get between one and nine inches of snow. Needless to say, my thoughts are of Africa. Thank you
At 36:10, this is a, "Happy to be alive laugh" because Pop's came within one misstep and your a Deadman scenario. That was about as close as it possibly could be, and live to tell about it.
Did someone order a fresh pair of underpants all around 😂
Great job guys stay safe in the hunt
Awesome film, not everyday you see how a elephant decide to go for the hunters and how well they stopped it , right at the last minute!!!.,
Wellll - I would not call that a minute! Kind regards.
Not every day I see a Comment that has NOTHING to do with what the scene SHOWS us🥳
Closest full elephant charge I’ve seen, julle is baie gelukkig! goeie jag
Way to hold your composure under pressure! Looks like a damn fine PH.
The Skimpy Shorts were possibly not Quite appropriate.......But Nice😎👍
Tent camps in Africa add a unique element to the experience.
Hunting for nature
A hunt, game trackers what would you do without em eh. dont forget to tell the children
In privious video a hippo was shot but not recovered ,why?
If you hear the voiceover the cameraman left while they were doing the recovery to tag along after a buffalo hunt
Well done, ph Malan Lambrechts!👏🐾👍
Correction
The PH in this video is actually Allen Baker from Botswana
Malan did the hippo hunts
Correction I didn't know that I was referring to the elephant.
My mistake
At a stone throw range, the PH could not shoot accurately for a BRAIN SHOT ! The was unbelievable 😳😒
I know it's always easy to sit in a chair and pass judgement from watching a video and not being the man on the ground... But from the video and commentary, they said 30 pounds max, not a shooter and instead of pulling out they went closer, personally i don't see that its a justified self defence. As the client said later on there's so many videos of people facing down charges and the elephant stopping, these give people the wrong idea and a loss of respect (healthy fear?) Personally, I believe that if you've made a judgement that it's not a shooter then pull out and leave it alone, otherwise you risk provoking a charge and having to put it down
In most cases you are correct sir. These guys were not looking for trouble. As you can see the bush is thick and they had to get close to be able to see and judge the ivory correctly. While standing there the wind changed and the bull got their scent. So this was 100% justified self defence. Once the bull approaches you in thick cover like that he gets real close before committing to a charge. All other videos you see of charges the terrain between the elephant and hunter is more open. So there were many factors here but it was justified in the end
But thank you for your comment and your valid opinion
You have NO CONTROL on what would the Elephant do at such a close quarters. Every charging situation is different. It was a DETERMINED CHARGE, head down for crushing the TRESPASSERS on its territory and the trunk tucked in. It was good their Government game scout was there as a witness plus this video. The department will take the ivory, maybe the skin too. The natives will take the meat & the PH will have the Elephant tail as a trophy 🥹
What a hunt!! Lifetime experience for sure.
W Cameraman!
It makes me sick😢
Well then, your in luck because for today only, NOBODY CARES. (You may want to take some ipecac for the nausea.)
Wow the bravery at the end of the film was too much
Do people eat the meat
yes thi are
Yes, the meat is not wasted. The local communities/villages get the meat
In my opinion one of the best PH in Africa_ Malan Lambrechts_Arub Safaris
Oh Mallory your so good. Big eh
So who paid for the elephant 😮
Such tough animals.
Good ! Nice video ! Thank your !!!
It
1979
Are these hunts free-range?
Yes
So we all witnessed the lady shooting the hippo but the last picture we saw was it escaping into the water. What's the story?
The voiceover explains that after the shot the other hunter went after buffalo and the cameraman followed him while they recovered the hippo. So it was not on film
The commentary is brutal.
Play the movie on mute then
@@AfricanSafariFilmsthis is hunting. Kind of. Hunting, at least every time I go has no commentary or music. It is about listening to the natural world around you. You do you, but the commentary on these films is horrible
The commentary is a bit over-the-top.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You left out part of video where animal was recovered. Meat was distributed to the local bush people.
passions pour des ordures
I don’t under stand why more people are killed due to the fact that the guns are carried pointed directly at one another. Pls don’t tell me they are not loaded, i have never hunted with any one less than their gun was loaded. I think you all have so much money you don’t worry about it. And all that money spent on the so called hunt could be given to the thousands of older people or help some one in need.
I don’t understand why killing an animal (unless for food) just to be killing. You should be ashamed of yourself.
And you should research the term hunting and conservation in the same sentence before giving a blind statement
Sboroni con soldi, poi non sono nemmeno capaci a tenere un fucile in mano.
Ill never understand the shooting of these animals , they arent for food
Who says they are not food? Do you have any idea how many families can live off elephant meat?
I'll never understand people who don't like hunting but still persists on watching videos showing animal hunts.
Hi Gary. Like many things in life, not being able to understand usually comes from not having enough information. 🙂 I'm quite sure that with enough information you would find yourself having a full understanding, of how to fix your car's engine, reprogram your computer or what the story is with big game hunting. Firstly, the hunting guides are very selective and choose old, retired, no longer breeding males for the paying clients to stalk and hunt. The meat goes to the local villagers. Hundreds of people enjoy a feast. None of them are overweight, by the way. The hunting fees contribute to funding of local infrastructure and anti-poaching activities. By culling old and unproductive males, who have already contributed their genes to the pool, more food remains available for cows, calves and young males. Genetic diversity is promoted. This is why it's called conservation hunting; the health of the herd is improved. If populations grow unchecked, two negative things happen: in dry years the whole herd can perish from lack of food; and conflict with local villagers becomes far more likely. Bottom line - carefully managed, conservation hunting is well understood to promote healthy, sustainable herds of wildlife. Please let me know if you need more information. 🙂
Did you not hear him say the Hippo fed the village for two weeks.
You lack the mental capacity to understand.

Grammar 😜😂😂😂
The person who hunts elephants and shares that type of content on platforms like RUclips shows a lack of empathy towards wildlife and a lack of awareness about the devastating impact that hunting has on elephant populations and ecosystems in general. Here are several reasons supporting this opinion:
1. **Conservation Impact**: Elephant hunting directly contributes to the decline of elephant populations, many of which are already endangered. This can lead to ecological imbalances and negatively affect other species that depend on elephants for their survival.
2. **Animal cruelty**: Elephant hunting, especially when done for sport or to obtain trophies, involves unnecessary and cruel suffering for the animals. Elephants are intelligent, social beings that can and will experience pain and fear during the hunting process.
3. **Ethics and Morality**: From an ethical perspective, elephant hunting raises serious concerns about respect for wildlife and the right of animals to live without being hunted for human pleasure.
4. **Legislation and ethics**: In many countries, elephant hunting is subject to strict regulations or banned entirely due to its impact on conservation and animal welfare. Ignoring these laws and engaging in illegal hunting shows a disregard for the rule of law and basic ethics.
In short, the person who hunts elephants and shares that content is contributing to animal suffering, the decline of elephant populations, and disrespect for wildlife in general. His behavior reflects a lack of empathy, conscience and ethics, and should be strongly condemned.
The term to describe elephant hunting, especially when done for sport or for trophies, is "sport hunting" or "trophy hunting." This type of hunting is carried out for a variety of reasons, but mainly due to the desire to obtain a trophy, such as ivory tusks, for display or for the personal challenge of hunting a large, majestic animal. However, elephant trophy hunting has been widely criticized for its negative impact on species conservation and animal welfare. Many people argue that this practice is unnecessary and cruel, as it involves the suffering and death of wild animals for frivolous and selfish reasons. Instead of hunting for sport, wildlife viewing and ecotourism are promoted as more ethical and sustainable ways to interact with wildlife.
Your chat GPT is wrong. Type the same thing and say positive aspects of hunting elephant and you will read a different story. Don’t be an ass, hunting protects them as they have a value and that money goes towards protecting them. How much money have you and others spent to save wildlife?
@@AfricanSafariFilms
Can't they be protected in another way?
@@joaquinuno6545they certainly can be protected in other ways. Elephant in modern day Africa require protection from 2 things
Firstly and most obviously is poaching. This is an expensive undertaking requiring, which most African countries cannot afford to carry out sufficiently on their own. A good example of this is Kenya, research the decline in elephant population after the close if hunting in the seventies. Governments sell hunting licences of a strictly controlled number of elephants to raise revenue to combat the threat of poaching. Also meat which is taken from the animals is distributed to local people, which helps to prevent poaching for protein. Revenue from hunting in many cases is ploughed back into the communities which again helps to ease poaching pressure as the animals are no longer seen as a protein source or a nuisance, but rather as a resource that benefits the community in general. Research the CAMPFIRE program in Zimbabwe to see how this works
The other thing elephant need is a LOT of land to move in. As an example, Hwange national Park in Zimbabwe has a carrying capacity of one elephant per 1km², this would mean the population of the park should be +/- 14,000 elephant. The last estimate I heard was upwards of 35,000+. This means people living in these areas face conflict with the elephants. The only way to justify a large areas to sustain elephant population is to ensure that it is profitable. This means tourism. This comes in two forms, photographic and hunting. Photographic safaris thrive where animal population density is high, hunting picks up the slack. Botswana has tried this experiment by closing down hunting some years ago. It took 7 years for them to realise the mistake and reopen hunting.
Lastly I would like you to encourage you to research these things so you can understand how Africa works. I believe it to be highly unethical an immoral to judge Africa's homegrown solution to this problem. The fact that many countries have thriving game populations is because of decades of controlled hunting.
I'm not sure which part of the world you're from but what would you say if an African was to condemn the way whitetail deer are hunted in the USA for example?
Painful to watch, especially the elephant one😢
Then why watch at all?
The guy laughs after shooting the elephant four times?
Everyone deals with a near death experience in their own way. Some people laugh, some cry and some goes quite. Until you are put in a situation like that you will never really know how you would react.
@@berrievanniekerk3359 how true Berrie!!
Amen to Berri . You took the words out of my TYPING 😮😅
I don’t understand too y kill this animals?
It's kind of complicated, I don't think you would ever understand. Now, you have a long day tomorrow. Why don't you go back to sleep and get some rest. (Don't let the bedbugs bite.)
@@dbx1233 oh your bed got some bed bags? Sorry will send u spray 🤔
Hippo just minding his own business...😢
For food size way it's okay but sometime nonsense on pride sometimes the mind intelligence not always smart
Very poor guiding it wasn't a shooter so get out of there but you had to keep going in
Bush is thick so you gotta get close to be able to see and judge correctly. Nothing wrong with how this played out at all
You shot a hippo and it slipped into the water and disappeared. You edited the whole footage because you lost the hippo with a bullet in its body. Right away you started talking about a buffalo hunt. Why shoot a hippo in the water or very close to water. It’s just irresponsible and amateurish.
Rubbish, listen again. When the hippo was shot the cameraman left with another hunter to look for buffalo while the hippo was recovered. The cameraman was not there to film it. It’s says it right there
@@AfricanSafariFilms why didn't you video the recovery?
@mandlas.4305 seriously, I literally just said that as the hippo was shot the other hunter went after buffalo with the cameraman. He could not film the recovery as he was not there to film it
Given that hippos live in water and spend most of their time in the water... Logic would dictate that they would have to be shot in or near water?
@jangulherme2243 that is correct. Most shots are while they in the water and after some time they float to the surface and you can recover the em
They are killing endangerous animals in the video I saw.
Which animals here are endangered exactly and where do you get those facts. I assume you talking about elephant… endangered NO, protected yes
So y’all go and kill innocent animals that are in an enclosure and call it hunting 😂😂😂😂
Enclosure 😂😂😂. Did you watch the movie? There is not a fence within 100 miles. Think before typing
These hunting videos should be banned from the web permanently! Instead of helping to preserve nature, these cold-blooded killers come to kill innocent animals that are just foraging and minding their own business. Shame on them!!!
Hunting is conservation. Google how hunting actually works for conservation. How much money has come out of your pocket to protect African wildlife… exactly… not one cent. So keep quiet and let us do what we do to protect our wildlife. Without hunting these animals would have no value and they would all be killed off and replaced with livestock. Smartass….
Pass!! If you don't like it. They know how to run their show. The number of animals in Africa should make you wonder. Proud of the hunters
