    The one place that is not boring is Mana pools ! Each day offers something different. Heaven on earth ! Zimbabwe has a gem . It’s wild .. it’s natural, it’s beautiful ! It’s not Kruger so it’s not commercial . Let’s hope it stays this way !

    Carmine Bee Eaters cutting the air like minature dragons while dazzling the eyes with their brilliant colours are beautifully captured James, as is the totally satisfying *pfffffft glug gulp* sounds of a parched desert being refreshed!! Well deserved after a long day's adventuring 📷🐗🙈🐘++😊

    Your sense of humour and story telling cracks me up, putting a smile on my face on a cold winters night in London!

    Thank you James and Kirsten for another entertaining episode. The footage of the two species of bee eaters, love birds, queleas and ground hornbills are outstanding. As ex-Zimbabweans now living in New Zealand this series is wonderfully nostalgic and makes us determined to visit Mana Pools again in the not too distant future.

    Yes the weather may be foul but as for the "A lot of wind ". When you have a lot of baa boons eating copious amounts of wild figs, well yes you will get a lot of wind !! It just comes with the territory. Tony and Byron may both be slow learners, but that could be because they were schooled in South Joburg and Uitenhage respectively. However both have exquisite taste when it comes to beersies. Castle Lager only.

    Another wonderful episode! Loved Byron the eland and all the Staceys, good one Kirsten. Carmine bee-eaters are fast becoming my favorite bird. (those were carmine bee-eaters weren't they?) James, your voicing of the ground hornbills was too funny. And the young elephant so close must have been very special. Then there were the baboons. If you run out of material (like that will ever happen!) you could do a whole episode of just baboons! For just a moment I was concerned about your camera burning up but since you weren't concerned I took a second look and realized the fire wasn't that close. Thank you both for this wonderful series of what looks like the most fabulous place. Just one request, more Kirsten!

    Just a quick question about the baboon eating the figs: the figs all look alike - I`m assuming they`re not ripe?, however the baboon is picky which one to pick, picks it, takes one bite and throws it away - his reasoning? Thanks!

    • @JamesHendry
      @JamesHendry  3 года назад

      They're not alike, so they pick the ripest ones. They're also very wasteful
