CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS CAMERA WORK. I feel like I’m watching a National Geographic documentary with snippets of my favorite people how amazing
Gaby Fuentes20 so true I felt the same way!!!
The Perkins : I never comment on videos but this one I had to!!!! This video has been the best I have seen from all my influencers so far ! I am so happy you got the opportunity to live your dream vacation - you two looked so happy and I wish you the best ! You so deserve it 😘
Is it just me or do Desi and Steven seem more in love than ever? I get such a warm fuzzy feeling when I see the way they look at each other 😫 so wholesome and heartwarming ❤️
I have never been more mesmerized or taken aback by a youtube creators video. I don't think you could have captured South Africa any better than you did. Thank you so much for sharing this truly magical place and your adventure, I felt like I was there.
Truly agree
But why did I cry a whole month of tears.... what am I gonna do now when my period arrives, I'm ALL OUT!!!😭😭😭😭
Giving National Geographic a run for their money lol
“She smiles and she cries and it’s beautiful.”
I’m crying 💕💕💕
Please don’t call me crazy!! But I’m very intuitive, and I feel this trip will bring you motherhood. This is the kind of happiness God, life or the Universe were waiting for you to experience before giving you the chance to experience other kind of happiness. (Hope you see my comment, if not) I still wish both be best!!!!
I literally had the same feeling!
I did too!!!!
awww this is such a freaking sweet message!
Me 2 !!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ the same feeling!
Sophia Sabbagh I thought the same thing!!
Desi.... the ELEPHANTS WERE FOLLOWING YOU THE WHOLE TIME!......that’s good luck.....this year will be amazing for you....mark my words....
Awwwww 👨👩👧👦 I really do hope so!!!!
Omg look at her now!
That’s crazy 🥺😭
@@Xndgx she's pregnant now wow
this aged well
Omg this was amazing. Steven you win husband of the year for this in my book. I wanted to cry for desi. Unbelievably perfect vacation
2 minutes in and I'm already crying lol What an incredible experience!! So happy you guys got to do this!
Dammit me too * Ugly Cries *
Agree 😖
Desi saying ''hi little guy'' to a 2000lb elephant is like my mom trying to make me feel better after gaining weight and looking a lil round during the holidays 😭😭😭
All u could say is GOD is perfection and that's the reason i had tears in my eyes.
Crying happy tears at your happy tears
Omg same!!! I am so happy for them!!!
Same here!! 😭😭😭
This footage is breathtaking!! You’re radiating happiness this whole video!! Africa is also a dream of mine and I was so excited to see this vlog!! Absolutely incredible!!
It makes me kinda mad that James Charles video of baking a cake is trending and this isn’t. This is so beautiful and unique genuine content. This should be trending omg lol
I've been to Africa too, and seeing animals in the wild fills you up with love sooooo much, you want to save them all from poachers, hunters, slaughterhouses. There's just so much love, peace and innocence about them. All the animals. All. That's why I'm stopped eating them
you've been to the entire continent? great. we have 54 countries and each of them are insanely different and have their own unique beauty. you've got to be more specific than that.
My thing is...Africa isn't a country babes... If you had respect for the place you would name the specific country you went to
Thank you. If you love animals then please don't eat them.
I am from South Africa. Lived here all my life. Seen more wild animals than you can every dream. Been on game drives hundreds of times. Believe me. I have more respect for animal than most. I eat animals and you should too.

As a South African I’m so grateful you got to experience the beauty and culture our country has to offer ❤️ thank you for using your platform to show people the truths of the vibrancy, love and joy we share! You’ll never ever forget this trip! Love you so much! Thank you!
When Desi gets emotional, I get emotional. 😭 halfway through the video, and I’ve loved every second so far!
Watched this over 5 times and each time I see something new. Thank you for show casing South Africa in a beautiful light. Indeed best gift ever ❤️❤️❤️
“We took the morning to be lazy and spend some time together.” Morning sex! 😂😂😂
Desi and Steven thank you for including us into your lives. I have learned so much from you these past years. I always cry like a baby watching your vlogs because I feel like I am a part of your journey and your successes. I look forward to investing more of my time and money into anything you create because I know you give 110%. You are motivating, so inspiring, and I honestly consider you family in my head. I know I am not alone when I see you have the same thoughts and feelings. You are a force and I am honored to witness your growth daily. Sven, you are a REAL ONE! Your relationship is so beautiful I wish you both nothing but blessing! Until next vlog my lil fuego chicken!
Pia Holler no they’d still have it. We are only the audience, but her hard work and dedication is what got her where she is.
That’s really pityful, you should work hard yourself to do such stuff, not enjoy other ppl doing it 🤦🏻♀️
Serife Ruzgar It’s really pitiful of you to ASSUME my life based on a positive comment. YOU AND I DO NOT KNOW ONE ANOTHER. GOODBYE. TAKE YOUR NEGATIVITY ELSEWHERE.
I love traveling in your perception!
The videos are incredibly good.
Congratulations on recording all those unforgettable moments.
A kiss from Brazil. ❤️
This was amazing, I grew up in Kenya for 11 years of my life and going on safaris and camping in wildlife were things my family and I did on the weekends! I WISH I had the gear to capture some of the incredible once in a lifetime moments back then, but since I've moved back to the US watching this just made me fell like I was back at home. Desi could not have explained it better, being in an environment so simple makes all of the clutter and buildup in your life seem so small. If anyone has the opportunity to travel I wouldn't recommend Africa enough, its like no other continent on earth and you leave with FAR more than just pictures. This was beautiful, you guys did an AMAZING job putting it together!
The camera quality gives me the chills!! But I’m sure it makes NO justice on the beautiful animals... I cried , I laughed, and you guys made me dream bigger 💕💕
AMAZING! 😍 Shoutout to the safari travel for asking everyone to care more about our planet! ✨💕
I’m so happy for you!!! Seeing you this happy for your dream trip had me feeling some type of way🥰 you worked so hard for your dreams to come true, and it’s showing doll. Now there’s one dream left, and I’ve helped you pray for this one....🤰🏽🙏🏻
Mrs. Cardenas this 100% ☝🏼🙏🏼
We're all praying for you Desi and Steven! 🙏
Pinkybby88 The more the better, I don’t remember the verse in the Bible but it says
Where there’s 2 or 3 in my name, in there. But imma search it and come back. Don’t wanna put something incorrect
20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
Mathew 18:20
I discovered your channel this weekend and have literally been binge watching. I live in Cape Town, South Africa and my childhood house was in Simon’s Town, which is where boulders beach is. Your reactions to the safari and boulders made me realize how I take for granted my home sometimes. I’m glad you enjoyed South Africa, it’s an amazing place, hope you can come back again one day and bring your little Perkins produce to see the baby elephants and penguins. On a side note, thank you so much for sharing you infertility journey. I have also been struggling with infertility for 3 years now and your video series have been so informative and inspiring.
I’m South African🙋🏻♀️🇿🇦 and it was so beautiful watching you enjoy and showcase our country!💖💖 this was so honest and pure🌸💓
Yesss!!! Only a few seconds in and I’m already crying! Love this so much ! Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with all of us! You guys are the best!
NLJ09 omg me tooooo! I have goosebumps
When Desi snatched off her hair cap to be camera ready..........I felt that
The way Steve looks at Desi when she’s talking about how happy she is!!! My heart is so full
Can I Just say how I cried because desi you are one of the most grateful people I have ever seen I love you guys as a couple you guys are Just so humble and that’s what I love about you ♥️you truly have an amazing husband god put you with the right man for sure 🙏♥️
Lmakeupbysheaa yuI
I couldn't stop smiling while watching this. Thanks for sharing this incredible experience!
Tell me why I was crying almost this whole video. Ugh makes me want to take a trip. And to think I am actually South African and have family there and take for granted the beauty... ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING.
Victoria Journey Your ignorance is showing
no you're not. you're of dutch descent. sick of white colonizers and apartheid making white people claiming south africa. y'all really have some nerve!
Being born in South Africa makes you a South African. Imagine telling someone born in the USA that they aren't American?
This is the real BTS of "The Lion King" lol. This looks so surreal. I would cry to if i saw an 🐘 they're just too precious.
Watched this without taking any breaks that’s how good it was😭😭 Love from South Africa❤️
Idk why but I felt the sadness in my heart when you guys left the safari area . I wasn’t there but smiled the entire way of this video such beauty peace and tranquility in watching these gorgeous animal in their home , these travel vlogs you and Steven make are phenomenal ♥️
STOP the lion cub noises 😍🥰 my heart, that is my dream
I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭 this is so beautiful and pure! Ahhh the herd of elephants are adorable and put the biggest smile on my face. I was just in Thailand and saw elephants there for the first time in my life and it was the best experience of my life. I can imagine how incredible this trip was for you two! Thank you for sharing your travels with us 🥰 Y’all captured South Africa beautifully!
the way they treat elephants in thailand is disgusting. please reconsider supporting people who chain and abuse elephants.
You guys are so so lucky to have seen African Wild Dog! They are so rare and so endangered. We went to Kruger Park last year for a family trip as my parents are from SA and saw some Wild Dog; they had not seen wild dog in all their 30 years of going into the bush. My mum cried when we saw them. Much love from New Zealand xx
No better place to take a wizzz. Love you guys for putting that in the vlog. Such a beautiful trip. You guys are so blessed! x
So I came back from my exam - i finished up the vlog and it is amazing. This is one of my dreams to be brave enough to fly out to SA to see all the amazing animals. My fiancé was watching it with me and he said Thank you because you took us there and we no longer have to go. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 he is cancelled. LOLOL
MsCtina nothing scary about coming here!
Kat van wyk I’m scared to fly on a plane. 😩
MsCtina LOL omg something my husband would say 🙄🙄
Yesenia Garcia LOLOL
I sobbed. Don't ever let this man go. He loves you somethin' fierce. You guys are beautiful.
I don't know why I cried when Desi cried. I am completely emotionally invested in her happiness
Ok well, after watching this i dont wanna watch any other YT video. Nothing can top this vlog, well maybe when you adopt Elefante. Thank you Desi and Steven for sharing this amazing experience with us, every single second of this video was simply amazing. 💜
Anybody else crying along with Desi cause she and Sven both deserve everything wonderful that's happening for them - AND for the many more wonderful things to come? Probably the most beautiful couple EVER (inside and out). Happy Anniversary you guys.
Thanks for sharing your beauty with the world ❤️❤️❤️
BEST. VLOG. EVER!!!! Omg that was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!! I cried so many times with you Desi. It’s precious in every way. Also those elephants LOVED you honey!! You will never forget the way that trip made you FEEL!! God Bless You guys xoxo 😘 ~Miranda 💜
@ people in the comments remember that this is just ONE country in Africa, and Africa has 53 other countries within it that look totally different from South Africa, with different people, and different cultures and languages. Africa is a continent not country, if you "want to go to Africa" you gotta be a bit more specific as to where.
Hafeezat Bishi YES !! Preach ! ☺️😅
Yesssssssss
I do badly want to see the pictures you took!!!! You have to display them in your house!
You should sell the animal portraits & the proceeds can go back to the animals ❤️🐘🦒
Daisy I would support for sure!
Such a good idea!!!
So amazing! Loved watching this you guys
What a truly incredible experience... thank you guys for taking us along! I felt every single emotion you guys captured 😭 so beautiful
I cried the whole freaking video. I have the same obsession and dream but with marine mammals. Whales, sharks,dolphins and to see you making your dream come true through hard work and dedication makes me feel like I can make it happen too.. all I need is to be hopeful,hardworking and always reach for the stars 💖 you guys are amazing
Incredible! Every hour is golden hour! Dreams come true, every one should be lucky to have a partner who shares your dreams.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Yours and Steven’s genuine excitement was so heartfelt!!!!
Omg!!! Breathtaking, thank you for taking us along. Beautiful
52 minutes? Oh yes! 😍
Here I am at the gym thinking “ok I’ll watch Desi’s South Africa video while I do some cardio” GIRL YOU RLY GONNA HAVE ME DOING THE ELLIPTICAL FOR AN HOUR BC I WILL
went on a safari for my 23 birthday in South Africa it was magical. We spent almost a month in Cape town, we rented a car, and just experienced living there, and it was like we were on a different planet. Just too beautiful! One day we hope to go back and live there permanently. South Africa was made for us.
Desi.....I love you so much. You’re literally so genuine and watching this makes me so happy!
So so glad you guys had your guide talk about how important it is to take care of the planet! It is all of our responsibility to do everything we can to care for this beautiful planet and the beautiful creatures living on it! Living on this earth is all we have and there is no plan B for where we can live. We should all strive to educate ourselves on the negative effects we have on this planet and what we can do to care for it better!
I just can't take my eyes off the screen! This is epic!
This is truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. You two are so blessed and thank you for sharing this experience with us. 💛
Desi and Steven than you soooo much for sharing these precious moments with us! I cried it was beautiful and I’m so happy for you both!
The way Steven looks at Desi ..... That is Love!!!! Xooxo
Do I have stuff do? Yes BUT am I still going to watch this 53 minute video? YES ❤️
I have no words! Just thank you for allowing us into your lives this way. I felt like I was right there w you guys, everything looked so amazing! Love u guys! And I know 2019 will bring all your dreams to life! ❤
the lion cub playing with her mother was so precious.

desi is literally me the whole video
What a dream. You don't need to talk, the video says it all. Chances are I'll never get the dream to go to SA so thank you so much for sharing. Just Beautiful. I've never seen videos on TV or anywhere else as good as what you took. AMAZING
Everything is possible 🙏🤗

I literally smiled the entire time I was watching this! ❤️ Thank you for sharing with us.
This was such a beautiful vlog. I'm so glad you guys decided to record some footage not just for you guys to have as memories but to share with us! I've always been fascinated by South Africa and its beauty of animals but watching this really inspired me to put a South African Safari on my bucket list. Truly so breathtaking to watch!! Now I gotta find me a Steven to go with!
Desi's reactions whenever she see the animals is soo cute
We need to get Steven a metal for finishing this vlog forreal 🥇
You are so pure hearted. I just love, LOVE, watching this.
A trip of a lifetime. I was emotional from the beauty through a screen. Thank you for sharing your beautiful trip with us. Blessings!
So so happy South Africa was everything you wanted and wished for 💜❤️ come back and visit us again soon! 🇿🇦
when you seen the video was 53 mins & still did NOT care! You are so genuine :)
Absolutely beautiful. I love seeing the genuine emotions you’re feeling being there. ❤️
love that you're showcasing our beautiful country! So glad you had a wonderful time in South Africa
Desi’s skin was glowing 😍😍
Desi & sven when you guys book trips like this do you do all the booking yourselves or work with a travel agents? Love the vlog!!! ❤️
Never thought I would love a RUclipsr so much! Thank you so much for including us and sharing your experiences. You don’t even have to talk in a vlog and we will watch it bc it’s you !!! Everything about you is just so amazing and makes me happy. At the end of the day you will put a smile on my face. You deserve all these trips Desi!! Btw you and Steven are freaking goals, I feel the love and I wish you both more blessings!!! ❤️❤️ love you Desi keep on grinding !!!
Literally cried the entire time! thank you for sharing this with us!
Hey Desi and Steven, this is my first time writing a comment on RUclips although I watched your videos before and all of them are awesome but this one.. it truly inspired, moved and touched me right in my heart and soul.. the first night me and my boyfriend met (who is also my soul mate and I can't wait to marry him) he called me' ''my little elephant'' (it may not sound cute in English but most definitely does in my language haha) and since then our dream is to visit Africa and see the elephants so seeing this video made me cry the whole time, happy tears of course and I only wish I can one day experience what you guys did. Thank you for capturing the beauty of those animals and also the beauty and kindness of your hearts! Lots of love from Croatia :)
P.S. guys could I please get a like so that Desi and Steven can see this and know how thankful I am for this video? :)
“I’ve never seen you get up faster” 😂
This video is emotionally the most beautiful and satisfying one I’ve seen on RUclips so far. Thank you Steven and Desi for sharing your amazing trip to South Africa. I could feel the love for just being alive and for the amazing animal kingdom in Africa. You two are an example of a married soulmate bond. I deeply admire you and wish you both all the live prosperity and happiness throughout your life together. A fan from Suriname 🇸🇷 South America
Desi is so grateful for everything!! I love her so much she deserves everything she works hard for
I'm happy for you two! We used to talk about doing big things in life. Stoked to see your happiness and success.
This was a beautiful vlog! I’m so happy you guys got to live in that moment, such an extraordinary one at that 😭❤️
This is absolutely breathtaking, I’m so happy to see you guys thriving!! Love you des and Sven !!!!!❤️
THIS WAS AMAZING TO WATCH! It was so cute to see Desi excited and feeling so refreshed - such a a great present from Steven! Love you guys!
Your excitement in the intro 😩💜💜 I started tearing up when you said “my dream” 😭💜 cuz girl. I react the same way when I get excited for something I’ve always wanted, like a giddy little girl 🥰 I’m like two minutes in to the video and it’s already amazing!
*update* just finished it. Omg 😭 all the elephants and the lions! The tour guide speaking about protecting the environment and the animals just made my heart hurt because I will never understand how people can hunt these animals ‘just because’. I am inspired to go on a safari and if I can I’ll adopt an elephant too 🐘I see so much love and admiration for these creatures radiating from you that I can feel it through the screen. I’m so so happy this dream came true for you both 😊
Needed this, been down for a few days and seeing how happy you were to go, makes my heart happy. ♥️
I LOVE LOVEEEE THIS! From watching this video I can tell that both of you were in sync with each other , both of you had a purpose wether it was as small as capturing a photo or making dreams come true for someone else! The footage , the photos , the food, and just being in nature I hope really recharged your energy and your spirit because I can see it on both of your faces 💜 the best video of all from this channel 🙌🏽
The whole vlog was absolutely breathtaking. I'm so happy that you had this healing andcleansing experience. Thank you for sharing.
