This was at Tamboti in the Kruger

Hey @@Paula-xi1lx it was unit 3

@cfwildlifephotography4143 Thanks for your response!

Thank you for the feedback @@JennyEnglish-sg5im , what about the music did you not like?

it for sure was... Very Lucky

I almost got a heart attack when I heard it the first time 🤣

@@cfwildlifephotography4143 🤣

Thanks a lot @@northern.bushman! Really appreciate the feedback!

Thank you Xipandza 😃 we were definitely lucky

@@MauroMeneguzzi-tf2jf 😃😃😃

Thanks a lot 😃

Hey Sonia, thanks for the feedback. I generally prefer to keep the clips without music to highlight the natural sounds, which I really enjoy. However, when there are distracting noises like cars, wind, or people talking, I add music to improve the experience. If you have specific moments where you would have preferred to hear the natural sounds, please let me know!

It was definitely a memorable sighting

Thanks for the feedback and confirmation of who he is 😀

Haai Erwin thanks for the feedback, this was last year February

@@shaunmoller2997 dankie vir die terugvoer 😃

@@Mrewa4 thanks so much for the support I really appreciate it 😃

Thank you for the feedback Timopo!

Thanks for the the support Timopo :) You're absolutely right, he is indeed one of the Mbiri males. Interestingly, many people assume his lip injury impairs his normal functioning, but he and his brother remain an incredible force to be reckoned with. There's footage of them bringing down another male lion about three months ago - it was brutal, but that's nature for you. It's always a privilege to witness such powerful lions in action

The light came from another guest in camp. As long as the light doesn't shine directly into their eyes, it doesn't significantly affect nocturnal animals. There's ample evidence to support this. However, it's crucial never to shine a light on diurnal animals at night, as it can temporarily blind them and leave them vulnerable. In this case, the Civet was free to move away from us, which it did several times whenever there was too much attention focused on it.

Hello Izak! Regarding the lions and vultures footage, I shot it in Full HD at 120 frames per second and then slowed it down during post-processing. As for my gear setup, I often switch between the monopod and my reliable beanbag depending on where the sighting is located relative to the vehicle. While I find the monopod quite user-friendly, I generally prefer the stability that the beanbags offer over the monopod

@@cfwildlifephotography4143 thank you for responding. In which mode do you shoot video? The monopod will definitely help to stabilize a big lens when photographing animals or birds from the driver's side which are on the passenger side of the vehicle. Do you think adding a monopod head will help with maneuvaribility of the lens?

Hi Lukas, thank you for the feedback! Keeping our speed under 20km/hr allowed us to spot this one easily. 😊

Haai Xipandza, I've been to the Manyeleti a few times now and the sightings never disappoint. It is true that poaching is a big problem, but for me this is why the Greater Kruger is so important, if you see the massive community bordering the area around Manyeleti its easy to see why they have such a big problem. They are definitely the 1st line of defense to protect areas such as the Kruger, and really need all the help they can get. If I take areas in the Kruger especially North it is also a continues struggle. There is really some horrific stories. On one trip at Punda we came across a buffalo carcass, and after 5 days not one animal came to scavenge, this is when me and one of the Rangers in the area started talking. It broke my hart to hear how prides of lions are poisoned and killed for the traditional market. So yeah it is never easy to see how animals suffer but unfortunately it is a difficult truth that we have to face, and with an ever growing human population in a country where unemployment is sky high people are forced to result to poaching for survival, so I dont see how it can get any better without people actually starting to realize the seriousness of the situation

Haai Jackie Julle sal verseker nie spuit wees nie 😀 As n mens in die hoofkamp bly is selfry n opsie, jy sal net nie kan offroad nie. Jy kan die app Field maps download en presies sien waar jy dan mag rondry. Jy sal dan daar sien dat jy redelik die helepark kan sien Die lodges het self hulle eie private konsesies wat hulle dan ekstra mag by doen maar met al my besoeke dek hulle redelik die hele park. Met my laaste besoek was ek by Buffelshoek wat heel suid is in die park maar nogsteeds het ons na areas tot in die Noordste gebied gegaan

Thank you for the comment John! Really appreciate it

I also thought about it, but I think their natural instinct will always remain

Haai Jackie, ons was beslis gelukkig as dit by sightings kom! Ek kan dit hoogs aanbeveel om die Manyeleti te besoek, ek was nog nie een keur teleurgesteld nie

@@cfwildlifephotography4143 cool, sal bietjie gaan kyk na die verskillende kampe en verblyf opsies wat beskikbaar is daar. Baie dankie! Het julle ooit in die main kamp gebly en self-drives gedoen? Want dit kyk baie bekostigbaar

Thank you so much Kholwani 😀

Most definitely

Thank you so much @XipandzaMananga 😃

Haai Buffie, when it is this dry this waterhole is one of the few water sources that will have water due to it being pumped with water by the lodge. But this usually means a lot of animals hanging around the lodge which attracts the predators

@@cfwildlifephotography4143 wow that's interesting. I know its a bittersweet photo and videos of all different animals at a water hole. You know its dry when they all gather together needing to quench their thirst. Thank you for your reply.

Baie dankie vir die voorstel Danie! Ek het nogal gedink dit sal n goeie idee wees om dit te begin doen, so ek is bly vir die konformasie. Baie dankie vir die terugvoering en ondersteuning 😃

En ons het die wit leeu gesien op H7 by die kruising van H1-3

Dankie Christo. Ek hou ook baie van Kruger so hou daarvan om te sien wie sien wat waar. Groete Danie.

Thank you so much for the feedback 😃 @5:38 that is a large spotted genet, and how you differ it from the command genet is that it has a black tip tail.

@@cfwildlifephotography4143 oh so cool I learned something I love when that happens. Thank you love your work.

@@buffiesilver I really appreciate it!

@@cfwildlifephotography4143 I will start sharing it I'm funny about who I share it with. Only close personal friends or family.

Lubyelubye rocks definitely give lion king vibes 😃
