I'm so happy you are redoing one of your bucket list trips, instead of having your ex in that particular memory. You now have a new, exciting experience!

[@EnjoyLifeByMusic]

This safari adventure in South Africa captured my heart! It's like stepping into a whole new world, with each animal encounter more breathtaking than the last. It's more than just wildlife; it’s about experiencing nature in its rawest form. Truly, a dream adventure that's now at the top of my bucket list! 🦁🌍✨Thanks for your wonderful sharing❤

[@lyndonlabuschagne2174]

My wife and I watched this a few day ago, we have followed your channel for about 5 years now, we both have to say that the last few videos have been great to watch, you have totally come out of your shell, you are having fun and enjoying life, maybe more than we have ever seen before. It's great to see. Looking forward to seeing more. (Malva pudding is amazing, but it had to be home made, I have a great recipe handed down from my Grandmother to my mom, to me) Cheers from Sandton South Africa.

[@sxyblnd2002]

PHOEBE! Its Nancy and Bill here! Thanks for the shout out, girl! That was so nice! You truely are like a celebrity to us! Famous Phoebe! You lucky stiff, the only leopard we got to see was one sleeping like the dead! Great view of the Kapama River Lodge too! We will probably give that one a try....amazing looking food! Thanks for all your videos, love you girl!

[@travelforphoebe]

Nancy and Bill! So glad you saw this episode and thank you again for saying hello, you really made my day/the whole trip!

[@sxyblnd2002]

@@travelforphoebe As you made ours! Keep on making these great videos! Love them!

[@jackdouglas254]

I am happy for you, Phoebe. You look so happy.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you so much! What a difference a year makes, huh :)

[@RobMagill]

It is such a joy to see you so happy living your best life. The sun isn’t as bright as you. Especially when you both jumped into the pool!! (How long did it take to dry out the jeans?!? 😊) Can’t wait to see where next your amazing life journey goes. And so thrilled that we get to join you! Rob & Erin

[@ThereGoesCheri]

Hi Phoebe! I first found you through your safari videos, so I'm so happy to see that you are BACK in South Africa!

[@alanchan1183]

So glad you guys enjoyed your trip. Despite all the issues in the country, we can still put on a show or two! Malva pudding also one of my favourites. You'll just have to come to 🇿🇦 again to get your fix!

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh, Malva pudding is one of my all-time favourite desserts! I can't believe I've never tried it before - I've been missing out this whole time haha

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

The memories of being on a safari will last a lifetime. Harriet and I have been on two safaris. One in Tanzania and the other in South Africa. We got lucky on both. Looks like you did too. One thing that we came away with going on them is the friendships that we continue have to this day. That was very important to us, not just looking at animals. Phoebe and James, you did a wonderful job capturing its essence. 👍 Sending you both Hugs🫂 and Kisses 💋 from Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh wow - how was the safari in Tanzania compared to SA? I've heard they're amazing too!

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

We liked them both for different reasons. We enjoyed more traditional food in Tanzania Chapati and Biryani and enjoyed SA for the accommodation's great views from the lodges. @@travelforphoebe

[@amyharmse5736]

South Africa is amazing! I have lived near Johannesburg for most of my life, but I've never been to Hoedspruit. It's definitely on my "one day" list of things to do as it looks incredible. Malva pudding is an icon of traditional SA foods, it's made with a whole load of apricot jam and butter. Delicious! Looking forward to the next video 😊

[@youngcrippen]

Wow! That must have seemed so surreal getting so close to those amazing animals. Living the way the should be too. Thanks for sharing this one. It's such a great watvh.

[@travelforphoebe]

Yes, totally agree :) It's so surreal! The things you get to see, these naturally unfolding moments... they just blow your mind!

[@carolineburke8002]

Gorgeous woman! You are glowing. As a fellow anxiety girl, I’m so darn proud and in awe of your strength and the confidence flowing from you. I don’t know if that ridiculously gorgeous man is part of the reason - I’m not giving him the credit that’s all you - but embrace the good and the gorgeous 😂

[@hichameboudjebha1884]

I am very happy to see you again in Kapama. The previous time was very wonderful and this time is much better. I love your spontaneity and the way you talk. I hope to see you in Sabi Sand in the future.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@SelbieMukhwathi]

Ohhh yesss, watching from South Africa in Johannesburg and yesss its Malva Pudding. Our beautiful delicious dessert.

[@kiwilisaoutandabout1320]

Wow Phoebe another awesome video. You look so so so happy, your fun, humour, chuckles, smiles, laughter, energy and enthusiasm is shining through on your videos these days. Just love them…… you are winning it is so nice to see. And yes I will tune in next week as usual

[@michaelturner1973]

Oh my goodness, brand new subscriber here and loving your channel Phoebe! I literally just said to my husband, well looks like we are going on safari now and staying here! Can’t wait to explore more of your videos. Happy New Year from not so sunny Geelong in Aus, KATIE 😀

[@sherzbee]

Amazing video! I am heading to Kapama in 2 weeks and this video has me looking forward to it even more! I’m happy you had such a great experience.

[@chrismorris9300]

So nice to see you guys enjoyed your stay here in our beautiful country. 🇿🇦

[@travelforphoebe]

I absolutely adore South Africa!

[@FelixCattenstart]

Hiya! When in Africa you have to do a safari! You almost shortened the episode to 9 minutes 😂. Beautiful scenery and animals all around during your trip 🫶. I need to go visit Africa one day. Right now I’m about to fly to Jamaica 🇯🇲 so that means a couple 2 weeks of me-time offline, living the moment. So with that, I would love to wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🎇. Enjoy the festive season 🤙

[@travelforphoebe]

OH WOW! Have the BEST time in Jamaica! I've never been but it's high up on my list. Hope you have a wonderful end to the year, Felix. See you when you get back. P x

Another awesome vlog, Phoebe! Love your expression when the elephant passes so close to you in the 4x4 😀. I am so happy you enjoy my hoje country, 🇿🇦 ...and the foods are delicious too!!! Take care and i look forward to your next adventures 😊

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh, I absolutely adore South Africa :) I would love to see more of it, dig a little deeper into all the different spots outside of Cape Town and Jo'Burg!

[@delboy6607]

Phoebe, Kapama needs to make you their international ambassador! This video was so good I watched it twice. You totally sold us and we have put Kapama top of our list for our planned Africa trip in January 2026. BTW if you want to see wild dogs we saw a pack in Hwange, Zimbabwe when we were there some years ago. Honestly, there are more exciting animals. That leopard you filmed was amazing. Good luck on your travels and keep your fabulous videos rolling! All the best from your Kiwi fans.

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh, that's so lovely of you :) Thank you! You won't regret staying at Kapama - it's the most wonderful place. The food is amazing and all the staff just make it even more enjoyable. One of my favourite travel memories of all time!

[@rachelm843]

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this episode! I never had a desire to do a safari until now, just amazed at the diversity of animals you saw. Sorry you didn't get to see a wild dog but hope the leopard made up for it!

[@travelforphoebe]

That makes me so happy that you feel inspired to do a safari! Honestly, it's one of the most amazing experiences you'll ever have in your life. It's unlike anything else :) I kinda like that I didn't see the wild dogs yet... feels like I'm saving it up! I'm gonna lost it when I finally see them :)

[@evelynbatres6820]

PHOEBE! I was at Kapama River Lodge 1 week ago celebrated my The BIG 50 for a big 5 safari celebration . Five star treatment the food is delicious. I love that the guide, housekeeper and waiter the same thru your stay. I miss Kapama 🇿🇦♥️

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh my gosh that makes me SOOOO happy! What a place to celebrate :) Yes, I love that too! All the staff are so nice, you make such a lovely connection with them. They're so fun :)

Love when you said ‘don’t get out’, lol. First afternoon with us, they bellied the Land Rover and we had to get out for 2 hours, with everything around us

[@travelforphoebe]

I mean, don't get out when ya next to a lion hahaha We got a flat tire and waited for a little while they fixed it, the scariest part was the heat haha :D

[@ingridnh1]

Amazing!! I would have been in heaven seeing that leopard so close I could touch it! Visiting South Africa and doing a safari are on my “trips of a lifetime” list! Will definitely look up Kapama’s resorts when that time comes. Everything seems so impeccable! That villa at the second camp was totally sick!! Glad you guys enjoyed.❤

[@travelforphoebe]

hahaha as you can see, we both lost it when we saw that villa! Just the most amazing experience :) I hope you get to visit soon love! P x

I'm obsessed with her music! So perfect for this video too :)

[@martinrussell1048]

Hi, brilliant vlog, how many days would you say is good foe a safari?.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks! As many as you can spare - I’ve done three safaris (an absolute privilege!) The first was 2 days and it was far too short. The next was 3 days and that was much better but having 4 days was excellent. The more days you have, the more game drives, the more chances of varied sightings and encounters.

[@martinrussell1048]

@@travelforphoebe we we're thinking a week, the Kapmama lodge looked beautiful, thank you for the reply x.

[@MegaEasyliving]

Loved it!!! I want to do this with my family. If we do this just once do you recommend the two lodges you stayed this time and how many nights of each? Have a safe trip home or wherever your journey takes you next!

at 8:50 I'd like to add, I guide once put it in a way that totally changed the way I looked at it. He said: "We look at Ellies all the time, but they also just eat and eat. They never stop eating. But we don't notice. And then, when a lions or a Leopard eats...?"

[@travelforphoebe]
