The commentary is brilliant!
Part of me felt sad knowing l missed out on things like big adventures, a bridal shower or honeymoon, which can't happen now as my 60th closes in. And here, redheads are hated, trust me, l have red hair + brown eyes; l don't even date! And yet despite all this, l smiled aaaaallllll the way thru this. Especially the typical James humour as his new bride hands him his cup lol!- I started watching SafariLive almost 1 yr ago now & am so grateful that privilege. This is the first time l have ever seen the lovely bride! Thank ❤️ you to Kirsty & James for the wedding clips, it made me feel like a guest!- l am sure many watching were as pleased as me to be 'invited'!😃👍 That was a SUPER NICE touch considering it is your most personal private moment that you could have chosen not to show, so thank ❤️ you for this added WONDERFUL treat!- Speaking of, all those beautiful & adorable Animals, omg 🤗🐾, the commentary 👌👍, and the camerawork 👏, well done James- and your fantastic new coffee server, lol! 😉👍🤗💖🍀🐾🌈🇨🇦
An absolutely wonderful combination of humor and wildlife travel. This is worthy of a Primetime series in my opinion, possibly on the Travel channel?
Yes! Good idea...
I totally agree!
Absolutely agree!!!!
Definitely so
YES YES YES!!!!
What an absolute delight! The Wedding, The Animals, The Camp Set-up, The Whole Thing!! Just brilliant.
Oh my gosh, thank you for sharing! My heart soars when I think .... these two brings us nature every single day, it is their job. But it is soooo much more than their job; it is their passion. Spending your honeymoon, doing exactly what you do for a living, AND loving it is beyond special!!
Hubby and I absolutely love watching you and the rest of the crew on Wild Earth! It's become our new normal to watch everyday! We wish you and Kirsten many many wonderful years of marriage 💕
The true test of a marriage - setting up a camper and tent together. Excellent work!
We agree!
Oh my, this made me laugh so much. My husband and I have been married 50 years and our camping trips ,in the comfort of a RV now, still bring out slaming of doors at times. Congratulations on your marriage. Take joy in your love and never lose your wonderful sense of humor.
Hell! This can be 3 days long and I'll be right here glued to the screen. Fantastic!
I agree with those who have said that they hope a major network takes notice. Everything is enormously entertaining, and of very high quality: photography, narration & script, editing, sound & music, etc. It's like something you'd see on the Travel Channel.
This is Roberts wife: Anita Thank you both so much for sharing this with All of Us! It looked like the lions were on their honeymoon too! Can't Wait for The Next One!
My deepest empathy with camping experience. We wish we’d filmed hubby putting up tent in the pouring rain in Yellowstone....from inside the tent! (I couldn’t; I was in the car, laughing too hard.). LOVE this!
@Penelope Jones no I gave it a thumbs up 👍
Don't worry we all struggle 😁😅sometimes.
I have been watching you on the live safari feeds. They have been a true joy - a calm and educational presence amid all of the ugly COVID-19 chaos. I came here because of all of your fun discussion about your wedding, new wife, and this channel.
It looked like a lovely wedding. A beautiful bride in a white dress, and a man in his formal kilt. You can’t go wrong with that!
I never thought James could be out of "his element". (Camping) Ha! Your taping of the wildlife is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much, Kristen and James, for sharing your adventures and honeymoon with us. I am so looking forward to episode 2.😊
Thank you very much!
Ditto
Love it....can’t wait for next one....hope he ends up putting all episodes together in to a single showing! Hope James realizes what a prize he got with Kirsten and she realizes what a talent she got with James....perfect match it seems!
That was oh so cute! Finally saw Kirsten properly for the first time 🧐🧐🧐
Thank you for allowing us into your adventure!!
I so loved the scene where you arrived in camp with the know-it-alls studiously observing you!
I suspect they can be found in every campsite south of the Sahara, or the equator at least!
Perhaps you could think up a classy biological name for them. . . like 'Campus Africanus'?
Thank you so much for posting.
You are a tonic, indeed!
Always knew James could, if he wanted, be a one-man show! Anxiously awaiting ep.2 ❤️
James and Kirsten, you are absolutely correct nothing better to test a marriage than to go camping. Besides wild life we have something else in common, When my wife and I got married we could not afford a lavish wedding or honeymoon... so we borrowed a camper and spent 30 days touring the National Parks in the USA.... 53 years later we are still together...
More more more! We need more! James and Kirsten this is such fun!
“Camping, an excellent test of our new marriage.” 🤣🤣 Truer words have never been spoken. My second favorite quote: “I then explained it to her in millennial language she might understand”. This video is killing me with laughter, thank you for filming your honeymoon adventures for our amusement!!
Good bye David Attenborough, hello James (and Kirsten) Hendry! Hysterical.
So cool to see kirsten on camera! Great to be able to put a face to the name :) she seems lovely and fun. Look forward to keeping up with your adventures.
I haven't had a chance to watch before now but timing is everything. I have been dying from this pain for hours and just like when watching the safari's, you have managed to make melaugh so hard. Laugh, scream, cry, repeat, emphasize on laugh, at least for a few minutes. Thank you both for allowing us to see into your new world together (the wedding speech killed me) and thank you once again for helping me get thru another hellish night!!
As usual James commentary during video was fantastic. Such humour in rough conditions, Beautiful location. So look forward to the rest of the story.
James - Not only did I enjoy the wildlife photography, but the manner in which the story unfolds and is told is also capturing. It is like sitting around a campfire and spending an evening with a story-teller. Brought a smile to my face. I agree with one of the other comments - should market it to one of the networks. Cheers
epic! loved seeing James' unbridled humour and Kirsten's epic sass
Yes Indeed I do believe you are going to get a contract out of this series and for more series to come!
I swear, I cannot remember the last time I have smiled that wide for 10 straight minutes. I'm obviously just going to look like a dolphin for every instalment J+K add. Big silly grin, making little EEE-EEE noises at the narration and funny situations. Can't wait for more!
Smiled, heck I had down right belly laughing going on.
WE live drives . . . Live book readings . . . Now this wonderful series . . . Have I died and gone to Hendry heaven ? 😇🤣
Please make them longer! I can watch you all day!
You're the best James! Enjoy your vaccation both of you! You gonna be sorly missed by everyone of us WE/Djuma Djunkies! Warmest wishes and best of luck from Sweden!
When I was a young girl after I got off work on Friday, I would many times go home, throw the things I had prepared into the car, put my pre-cut DRY firewood on plastic in the trunk and head to my safe camp spot. Run the HD all weather elec cord to the supply pole at each site thus having a small coffee maker, elec blanket etc. for my comfort. Taking the wood minimized encounters with snakes and made everything so much easier! I urge parents to teach your children how to camp safely. I absolutely spoiled myself! I enjoyed playing cards, hot choc. or coffee. In the a.m. it was time for fishing (always thrown back). By the way, BE SURE to check your local weather to ensure better odds of comfort! Don't forget to take your pillow! LOL to the Hendry's!
p.s. Just cause you are the only person in the tent doesn't mean it can't be a 3-person tent!
James and Kirsten, this is great. Kirsten, bribing squirrels for a picture is worth it. James, I see you still have that luck for that epic pic you want. It moves. I do hope someone picks up on you two for a camping traveling safari.
How exciting and BEAUTIFUL James and gorgeous Kirsten Hendry 💞👍CONGRADULATIONS to marriage. THANKS so much for your most glorious adventures 💋
The best narration on RUclips videos🤣 great stuff!
I have been looking forward to this. Thanks for sharing your special time with us James & Kirsten!
"One eye lion pirate" oh my gosh!! Only James, lol.. sounds like a perfect name for a child's book.. 💗
“Why does the tor-toys eat the road?” 😂 I really enjoyed this first epiode, James - it’s great seeing you outside your ‘natural environment’, which is of course a Safari Live Landy... Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for watching! Thoroughly enjoyed your bird quizzes!
James, awesome man. Glad you played along 💪🏻🦜🎶
This is so good. Kirsten did a wonderful job editing. Thank you both for giving us a brief glimpse into your lives. Love this!
James is an instant mood lifter!
Laughing laughing , have not had this much entertainment in years , James is a stand up comic and his wife a Saint , perfect couple , congrats to y’all
Well that was a blast! Lovely to see a snippet of the Hendry wedding, then the beautiful moments of jackal, cheetah, & mating lions captured on cam, ( how appropriate for a honeymoon!)
Congrats on launching episode 1, and looking forward to seeing the next as they unfold. For a lady who is so camera shy, Kirsten did very well indeed. "Hammy" Hendry
got a run for his money, though , from that tortoise, blithely shoveling in the dirt as if it was the tastiest thing on the planet.
I'm certain audience #'s will swell impressively, as people discover the joys of the splendid exploits of a very obviously happy couple , in love and sharing their adventures with the world. Kudos, James & Kirsten!
Thank you James and Kirsten for sharing you travels xx
James we miss you from Wild Earth already. Hurry back. Until then, this will fill our need for a smile. Thank you for helping to keep us sane!
Brilliant début, Jeandré taught you well! And as for -where to pitch?, how to pitch? who’s watching? and finally which bits got left behind ? howled with the laughter of a seasoned camper. Bravo to both of you, looking forward to the next episode.
Love this...not only wonderful photography but also an amazing look at Kirsten and James ( see how I gave her top billing) ...I think a TV reality show is in your future... God bless
James, great sense of humor 👏 right up my street!
Subscribed!
Oh my goodness the 2 of you really had me laughing out loud and with that waking my son who in return did not find my laughter half as funny as I did. Looking foreward to episode 2
I've watched SafariLive/WildEarth for years.I know James loves all wildlife but it seems he is especially wonderful and shares love for feathered creatures. Thanks for introducing us to Kirsten. I also am a redhead and my husband always says that is really special, and we honeymooners on Napali Coast, camping, backpacking.
You two are a joy ! Wishes for the best of every part of life to you.
💍Your wedding looks absolutely perfect! Congrats you two!! Well done!! 💐
I very much enjoyed this. If you keep putting them out, I’ll keep watching. Congrats to you and Kirstin.
I hope you get jobs as a voice over actor James. Also Kristen congratulations on making James an honest and happy man!
Incredible work - can't imaging filming so much while on a honeymoon :) I'm so happy that you show us your view of the Kgalagadi and great sightings. And its so unbelievable green - at the end of Dezember, the southern Nossob valley still was completly dry with almost no plants left, only the Mabua was lush and green. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is by far our favourite Park in Africa. Not knowing when we will ever be able to visit again (coming from overseas) and if touristic options will ever be the same as before, your images make our hearts ache..
Glad you enjoyed it! We loved the Kgalagadi too
Reality TV at its best. I can't wait for the next episode. Well done to The Hendrys. ツ
You put that together very well! I enjoyed it. Thank you James and Kirsten. In 20 years you will be so glad to have these to look back on. The best to you both ❤
Exactly what I expected from James and I love it! Thank you to you and your lovely Kristen for creating and sharing this!
So glad!
Me thinks you have some awesome talent there. Hilarious take on a serious note. So enjoyed it, have subd, and look forward to the next episode. Lekker gelag!! Baie dankie
Awesome, thank you!
Cute and interesting! They say it's a good idea to go on vacation with some kind of project, so you two are covered!
Super cool of you 2 to share your honeymoon with us! Thank you both for this
Where does a safari guide go on a honeymoon? Where else but an animal Safari! Hahaha. Great video, James. Thank you for sharing it.
Absolutely brilliant! Loved the commentary on arrival at the camp - just hilarious! Excellent sightings of the cheetah, leopard and (another) honeymoon couple - Great footage! Love the wildflowers in KTP at that time of year. Going to look forward to following this - thanks for sharing! :-)
What a terrific first instalment. What great sports to show your first attempts at putting up the tent, I would have been screaming at new husband before long! Great photography, as usual terrific humour from James and endless patience from Kirsten 😉.
Really looking forward to next episode .
You can certainly sell this to a travel channel later .❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely love this! ❤️❤️ great photography and as always a good laugh! Can’t wait for episode 2
Congratulations on your recent marriage and for sharing a snippet of the ceremony. I see it was at Brahman Hills - beautiful setting. Errol and I wait to see and hear you on WildEarth and I have really enjoyed this snippet of the Kgalagadi. Humility, humour all couched in articulate English. So wonderful to discover someone who uses the English language with clever commentary. even if we see nothing - we both wait to hear you. Keep up the good work
Thank you for your kind words
Wonderful episode, Looking forward to the rest! It would be lovely if you could make a tutorial on setting up that tent.
This was totally enjoyable!! The birth of a new popular series by James and Kirsten Hendry!
Thank you James & Kirsty for sharing your wildlife perfect honeymoon with us. I love how you started this episode with your beautiful romantic wedding. James I think you could give David Attenborough a run for his money. Looking forward to Episode 2 of the honeymoon adventures.
It's a beautiful, funny video. Big hugs to you and Kirsten.
I just adore James’ humor. That video just brightened my day! Bless his beautiful wife ❤️😂
😱 Oh no ... that was far too short ... I'll have to keep rewinding! It's FANTASTIC and funny too! 😁 What a wonderful experience. Thanks guys! 👌
PS: For those who don't yet know ... I believe that James and others from WE will be on Carte Blanche TV show on Sunday evening.
Glad you enjoyed it!
