Hello all - I hope the year has started well...
Thanks James, lovely to see you again. Hope you both are well and planning lots of trips for us to watch! Great job!
Thanks, and to you. Great footage of the buffalo. I don't think I could nod off knowing lions are around :)
Missed you and our friends live chat. Pity. Would have done wonders for my self-pity mood today. Oh my so many Beefaloes!
James have you seen this video? The buffalo skeleton in the springs in both you and this video suggests they were taken around the same time ruclips.net/video/lnkR8aMamo8/видео.html
Thanks for reality content in our areas. We feel proud finding our valuable resources put on global map

Mesmerising sequence with the buffalo coming for a drink.
Wowza! Those buffalo kicking up a dust storm. What a spectacle!
Love it all; especially the herds which are so dramatic!!!
November, 2020. I spent two nights at Chitake before heading to the banks of the Zambezi. At Chitake, we watched a pride of lions gather around an elephant carcass. A glorious time in northern Zimbabwe.
Amazing work, James, as always! The buffalos scene with the dust and the music are just out of this world! 👏👏👏
My Year just got immeasurably better, thanks to you.
Many happies to you and your beautiful wife.
So excited!! Thanks James n Kirsten!
I can't get over how GREEN those parrots were !
What would we do without your wonderful narration, Mr. Hendry - you are a treasure!
I wish you did this for Television. It's the best safari recording on RUclips. Well done
Me too! Thank you
Excellent as always, but those scenes with the buffalo and dust are top level!
Absolutely!
Beautiful
I agree! Amazing experience.
Absolutely brilliant filming of the Beef - a - loes. Sadly the Lie- ons did not wish to make an appearance. Probably too well fed and having afternoon siestas. Lovely sunset under the Boabab tree. Perfect setting for a Amarula with eish !! A flat battery and a flat tyre can lead to a flat holiday. One must learn to overcome these minor obstacles.😀
The le-ons were way too well fed!
Outstanding job Kristen,It was nice of you to bring James along :)
It was very kind of her
Fantastic beefalow footage! Just added sitting under a baobab tree for sunset to my bucket list. ❤️
wow the buffalo was spectacular amazing
The cinematography here is second to none.
Superb filming of the buffaloes, baboons & birds!..the music was as dramatic! Well done & thank you guys! Love & Blessings xxx
Thank you once again for sharing your vacations with us!!!🌟🌟🌟
Appreciate seeing allllllllll these lovely animals including the various birdies who seem to allllllllll follow order for drinking. Missed the lions. Great filming!
Epic shots of the buffalo in the dust! What a spot!
Excellent thank you I Love Africa Greeting from Guyana South America
Days like this are always remembered I miss the place so much thank you
Hello beautiful people James and Kirsten 🤩... thank you for sharing and bringing us along with you...so Amazing..I agree with plenty of happiness along the way xxxx
Thank you so much!
Thanks James I have learned a lot from you I can't wait to be part of your next journey!!
Most beautiful place … real and true African experience … hope the rain and water arrives soon
Stunning scenes of the beefalos-well done!
OMG!! Wonderful photography!! Thank you!!
Awesome footage of the Buffalo in the dust. Also your commentary on Barry, which brings back hilarious memories from your WE days. Well done as always.
Not only entertaining for the wildlife, but the comedy as well. Lol! I certainly wouldn't be lazing around on the river bank with all those prey species around (including the humans) and lions somewhere about.
Thanks as always for giving us a window on your world. Hoping you have smooth travels and stay safe and well. Gloria
beautiful, thank you for showing me my beautiful Zimbabwe i didnt know exists
Excellent filming accompanied by a Wrex Tarr commentary
Hello from Port Elizabeth ;)
Absolutely spectacular views!! Thank-you for sharing this with us!!!
Keeps me enthralled as always James and Kirsten. Thank you so much for sharing.
Highest praise I can give you is I *NEED* to go there!
Thank you!
Stirring and timeless wildlife in that fine wild area .Superb photography of the time and place.Hope to return to Zimbabwe...if Zambia doesnt distract .
Yes Baobab are so striking ..and sacred
Buffaloes, baobabs, birds and baboons plus lions and so much more. Spectacular photography, editing and music choices. And longer, too! It's a great start to the year. Thank you both for a wonderful episode. I can't wait for more. During that buffalo sequence I kept hoping the lions wouldn't take advantage of all that dust. I was glad they didn't! I hope you got water and fixed the tire in the next episode!
Fantastic filming - the lighting on the buffalos, the dust, close-ups, the wind - felt like we were right there!
Many thanks!
Hello James. Thank you for this. Looking forward to Mana Pools.
Stunning buffalo footage in the dust - not sure all of them in situations like this actually get to drink.
This commedian is a LEGEND !! 😂
Hi James and Kirsten. Happy New Year to you both and also a belated Merry Christmas. Thank you so very much for sharing your adventures with us. Greatly appreciated. From this Kiwi (New Zealander) 🇳🇿

Haven't been able to watch for a while. Great to be doing so now. Happy New year all. Let's hope it's a good one.
Just awesome!! Miss your humorous look at wildlife on "Wild Earth"!!!!
Impangele...my favourite African bird!
Thank you for showcasing our beautiful Zimbabwe, I was born and bred in Harare and never had the thought of touring the wilderness, I am challenged!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome James, I felt very thirsty after the dust show lol. Your wonderful humor and stories 💯 Thanks again, can't wait for more.
This is absolutely stunning. One of your best. Love the beef bum ending.
Spectacular!!!!!
Another place I need to visit. Thank you for sharing James. Awesome place.
A great 23 minutes and 12 seconds. Loved it. Thank you guys for sharing.
Some awesome shots 👏 In fact it's so good I feel like I need a bath now to get the dusty dirt off 😊
Wow, James!!! Gorgeous and artistic video photography , humor and song……..fantastic!!!!
I love Mana Pools, my favourite place on earth. Never been to Chitake though, so thank you for this footage, allowing me to see and feel the place !
Definitely give Chitake a try next time you go!
Lilians Love Birds >> Beautiful!!!
Love the videos of your adventures.
Awesome video as always James!
Always enjoy the humor!
Absolutly spactular!!
Thank you James
Informative 👏🏿👏🏿
Epic cinematography so far Mr. Hendry ! Who knew that such visual drama can be found in all that beef ? Adding Zim to our list, having enjoyed Botswana so much in Aug 2021. Hoping to head back to Africa in 2023. P.S. - the Mrs and I thoroughly enjoyed “Reggie and Me” on Audible 👍
Many thanks for watching and listening...we are both very grateful!
Patiently waiting 😊
And much appreciated
@@JamesHendry Love your video's, and watch them all. 💙
My fav videos 😁
Watching those buffaloes stampeding down, it’s very clear now that Mufasa never stood a chance… sigh
Brilliant place. One of a kind. V jealous
Always a fun and spirited ride in your imagination. Monty Python on safari!
I watched it yesterday then rewatched it with my mum later. Just brilliant photography. The buffaloes through the dust was magnificent!!! Loved Barry the Biker Baboon. Also mum kept cracking up with all the jokes. Looking forward to the next episodes!!!
Thank you so much James and Kirsten!!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad your mother enjoyed it too
great job man
Nice colour grading of the buffs coming down
Hello james .Havnt seen you since Covid began . Nice to see your still there .How is the crew . Love your sence of humor .😊
Wonderful footage. One day I hope to see what you have seen, and to drive in a 70 series Toyota Land Cruiser in Africa.
You are an amazing story teller
Magnificent "beef" capture with all the dust kicking up almost oscuring the herd from view [nerve wracking moments with kitties potentially licking their lips!] And in spite of their bulk, quite a few noticeable ribs showing - perhaps Leo noticed and decided ribs were NOT on the menu?? Completely appreciate the crack-of-dawn efforts, exhausting but wow - amazing footage James. Now for a *double cold one*
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
That buffalo sighting was stunning! Happy new year!
Same to you!
As always, I am waiting to hear the good news of your new TV series contract. These are superb and sure to get you there...
You and me both!
Superb ♥
Your best in photography, welcome Tanzania bwana
Nice work guys... Not sure that music is really necessary, but great footage!
The buffalo scenes are amazing - were you on foot in the river bed? Whn we were there it was strictly no cars in the riverbed?
Amazing footage!
Loving you films James. Not only informative but portrayed in a good lighthearted manner - very often these types of youtube films are "stilted". I am heading out to SA in the next couple of months to retire and really looking forward to travelling around Southern Africa and visiting some of the wonderful sights that you have shown on your films. Can I kindly ask what set up you are using for your videos? I like the look of your rig - and although heavy looking - looks pretty flexible. Keep the films coming please.
Love your production- what is the music in your Chitake Springs episode (first one with Lovebirds)
Thank you for the fantastic entertainment! I hope you'll get a lifetime supply of Zambezi Lager for this! ;-)
That would be excellent
What is that song playing during the buffalos at the beginning? It was beautiful and a great choice for the amazing footage
Oh wow...those buff's and that dust. The Zulu name for the Natal Mahogany is...Mkhuhla, I believe. Thanks, for the wonderful footage and humorous narration
Yes! Thank you!
oh, hello old man! lol!!
Buffalo must breed frequently to keep up such huge populations.
9:25 "...mother looking into the distance...as if she might have made some sort of error..." 😅😅😅
This is great, the Buffalo coming in their thousands!
Nice video James. Can you share the name of the sound you used in the video
Great video. Like your work and your singing.
Thank you so much!
@@JamesHendry You're welcome!
This place is truly a special place. I wouldn't advise anyone to visit as I want it to be left absolutely untouched & pristine, I'm selfish like that🙈...love your videos 🤣🤣🤣
😁😂😂
I hear you. Some places should stay secret
Fantastic episode. The shots of the buffalo herd in the dust are beautiful. I've been to Mana quite a few times but never to Chitake. Do you need to walk to get the low angle shots of the spring or can you set up near the vehicle?
Thanks Rob! You would love Chitake. You can sit by your vehicle on top of the bank but we just found going lower down was the best for filming.
@@JamesHendry yeah, most of the videos I've seen from Chitake are from the top of the bank which is not a great angle.
Love the mullet at 10:16 .
Its gorgeous
😂hilarious
you my friend are an International treasure - never give up, however hot it gets
Thank you - we will attempt to keep going despite the heat!
Any chance you can post in 4K? I see you are filming in it (I think), the videography is great, would love the extra resolution for my big TV! Thanks for the amazing series!
Working on it!
@@JamesHendry thanks James, noticed it in the most recent!
