A Bat Cave on the Beach! St Lucia, South Africa | Ep 4

[@bavukilevilane]

The crabs could have made an entire episode alone😂 Great content James, thanks for sharing your adventures

[@splina6086]

I find it so very enjoyable how you put these episodes together. This so deserves to be picked up by a media/tv network!!

[@wellowwanderer7619]

Loved the crabs and sound effects.

[@lisag5670]

Great video James & Kristen! I love the music you pick for your adventures 🎶📹🐾🦀🦇 And the sound affects hahaha 🤪

[@kayslowey-sly2138]

Loved the video and music. I like bats, but am scared of the diseases they can carry. I think it’s so kind of you to share with the monkeys. They are not shy about taking what they want! Thank you for making this Sunday so enjoyable. We need joy in the states right now.

[@indigogirl903]

Kirsten looked like she was afraid the bats would get in her hair!! Loved the Drunken Sailor Song! I was singing along!! Those darn monkeys!!!

[@sljallen]

Loved the video! Thanks to your teachings on Wild Earth. I knew several of those animals. I would have thought you two would have locked your food items up from the monkeys from past experiences. Lol . Nice to see Africa's beaches. That's a first for me. Beautiful scenery. Your music was lovely. Thank you for sharing. Bless you both.

[@craftystash8667]

The crabs...🤣 Those monkeys are such litterbugs!!🐵

[@susieransome4267]

I enjoyed the crabs on the beach

[@lornameerkat7480]

Just loved the sound effects, especially with the crabs. So entertaining. What a life you lead. Would love to experience all these adventures

[@LindaPolley]

Great video as always! Keep em coming and keep having fun! Those bats and monkeys are so cute!

[@nancyf52]

Those monkeys make a mess of the trash lol. Another great video and so funny...lol'd so much, oh and the crabs hehe

[@alicesrestaurant1206]

[@teresaberry549]

[@sanstar2007]

I love catching up with James and Kirsten! Always fun!

[@dorabella64]

Super funny. Loved those crabs. The music is always right on! 🐒

[@mariettawinfrey4920]

I always love your humor and the crabs did not disappoint but you outdid yourself with the photography this time. So close up and clear. Coupled with the rain sound, I really felt that I was experiencing this camping trip. I love watching your sweet beautiful wife too. Thank you so much. This old lady loves traveling with you.

[@lisaa7991]

This one is really fun! (all of them are terrific). I especially love the sound effects for the crabs! And promise me that you will wear masks anytime you go into a cave with bats and their guano!! Seriously, you need to protect your lungs!

[@carolreeve7997]

At last, an honest camping video - rain, dirt, monkeys, bugs and all! Loving this 🙌

[@JamesHendry]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@darkcloud5530]

Absolutely AWESOME! lol By the way, no worries or thought to the thumbs down brigade they just don't know who you two are! Been with ya' since 2015! Loved the musical / crab ending. Well done. Send your stuff to PBS!

[@IHeartAfrica22]

the screaming crabs - hahaha!

[@thelazyoverlander]

Don't ever change your style and sense of humor EVER!

[@atlantajuls7141]

Despite the bat waste this was fascinating, close ups were brilliant and no doubt difficult to obtain 👏👏 and those naughty Vervets 😝. Well done as always!

[@tonynz9954]

As I observed you sitting miserably in the tent with the rain pouring down, I thought of our Kiwi band called ' CROWDED HOUSE " singing 'Everywhere you go , you always take the weather with you ". St Lucia has a long way to go to catch up on Milford Sounds rainfall .If that is any consolation ! Great filming .

[@Ay-B]

I love how it looks like the bats are looking right at you. And I feel sorry for the monkeys. Too many tempting treats around.

[@michellerae5711]

Great video James, the crabs were my favourite !

[@karenmartley797]

Hello beautiful people..James and Kirsten..as always found myself laughing aloud! Crabs and monkey 🐒 so funny 🤣 and the music.. LOVE..

[@jenswildlifephotographs]

Absolutely incredible! Can't wait for next weeks episode!!🙌🏻😀

[@mrouth5691]

You’ve outdone yourself with the audio and sound edits in this one. Each piece perfect in its place. The ambient sounds in the opening sequence were absolutely mood-setting. The closing song with the monkeys made me lol. And finally what WAS that piece at the entrance to the bat cave? It sounded so familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Finally the crab traffic audio ...OMG I was 🤣 loved loved this one, James and Kirsten! Can’t wait to see what you have next for us! Thank you! 😊

[@mrouth5691]

Is that Aaron kenney- The new Order?

[@judye62]

I agree

[@amyexo]

The theme from the movie Dune.

[@elke9499]

Bats for africa but loved the crab traffic most darlings🤗🙏TY

[@mindytillapaugh3465]

Loved the crabs....the bats had faces like baby hyenas....

[@laurachristmas5974]

Thanks both of you. Thoroughly enjoyed

[@gail2485]

great video thanks - and we loved the music too!

[@Mudjie50]

Always a pleasure! Thank you for the bats, i love them. Crab scenes were hysterical along with the marauding Vervets.. Nice choices of music!

[@deborahmercer1897]

Awesome stuff!!! Made me laugh out loud several times.

[@chrystalmurray5535]

Great video Mr. and Mrs. Hendry! Love those crabs, (the bats too). You will hardly ever find a crab ransacking your campsite.

[@brentjh1]

Like your crab sound effects! They are cool and funny!

[@veragamsky1734]

You gave me a good laugh which we all need. Your a nut. So glad i went on the safaris so i could meet you. You put fun in my life. Thanks.

[@ubombogirl]

delightful! however, i see no need for the disclaimer at the beginning...i see nothing weird or silly about the episode. wait...hmmm...does that mean then that i, too, am weird and silly?! hahaha...i'll take it! if you can't have fun now, when can you? excellent work, james and kirsty! loved the bats (looked like they may have been a bit offended by the disturbance of their sleep tho :) )and the crabs...and then.......the monkeys being, well, monkeys! see y'all next time.

[@ryannsmith]

I can’t get over how absolutely adorable the bats are! I’m greatly enjoying watching your adventures, and your video format.

[@JamesHendry]

Glad you like them!

[@lynnejones-brindle1214]

Well James and Kirsty you've put me off camping in Africa 🌍 it rains just as much as England xxc

[@msdebbier]

Hey you two, good times in this one. One of my all time favourite things is watching slow motion raindrops. And Guinea Fowl were one of the birds I couldn't stop taking photos of on safari. So beautiful!!. And agreeing with everyone else, the soundtrack is excellent but the crab foley was fantastic. LOL

[@sueh1091]

the crabs bit was so hilarious! thx!!

[@olliloodla9216]

It`s so nice to hear Estonian at the end of the song ... ja sinu süda saab tantsida

[@Annie-ZA]

LOVED IT GUYS! 👌😁🤣🤣 Especially the Bats, Crabs and naughty Monkeys!!!

[@ghoo283]

Eh....bats were interesting but considering the diseases they carry...no! Lovely footage Kirsty and James, enjoyed the beach footage and traffic crazy crabs.

[@judye62]

How perfect this episode was! Beautiful beach and OMG both songs you chose made me weep, for real, in a good way. Ahhh to the bats!! I can't believe you went in there! I love this episode. I wanna be there.

[@1psfinla]

Marvelous as always! The sand crabs sound effects are hilarious as was the traffic jam. Kirsten is much braver than I am, there's no way I'd go into the bat cave! Or go camping for that matter! I chalk it up to age, I'll be 70 this year, I need my creature comforts! :) You both are such good sports. Thanks for adding some beauty and humor to our lives. Can't wait for the next episode and enjoy Botswana!

[@judytomkinson9653]

Not sure about the bats, but I loved those crabs and the sound affects. Thank you James and Kirsten.

[@6Fiona6_P_6]

Those Fruit Bats were absolutely cute. Mind you though our Australian Flying Foxes are just a tad cuter........ ⚛️☮️ 💚🦇 🌏

[@lindacooper7416]

Whenever I need a laugh James you always provide it. Thanks to you both.💜🦇🦇🐒🐒🐒🦀🦀🦀

[@mariancoady806]

Loved that. Thank you for sharing. Makes me want to go camping in St Lucia.

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

Awesome video as always!

[@cherylsibson8457]

Hey James, oh yeah, great video and seems like you had an interesting time, great editing skills, and camera work!

[@gigicostlow4414]

Wow! The bats were fantastic. Been cool to see them all coming out in the evening. I knew it wouldn't take long for the monkeys to arrive. Hehe! Cool sound effects with the crabs. Had me laughing. Another great video James and Kirsty. Thanks. Looking forward to the next one.

[@Weazle099]

3:00 OMW!! I have not see a St lucia "Vleiloerie, as I or we call them", in more then 20 years (aka a Burchell's coucal) I absolutely love its call, if there is one thing that sets the holiday mood for me its it's call...

[@longlivethefish]

Nice video... Thanks for sharing Mr Hendry!

[@indigogirl903]

WE mis you Fish!!Dive long and prosper!!!

[@longlivethefish]

@@indigogirl903 .... Indigo Girl😢 haven't b'n the same is hard specially after losing Mama fish to covid it hurts to see to much of it all around... I mean idk why it hurts so much losing friends it's unbelievable Alan Dunlap we had plans to eventually meet up all in Vegas... We were trying to have M J join us too... It was in progress than he was gone😢 Still brakes my heart idk why...

[@stuartfarquhar2620]

Been there once before … I have never before experienced such heat 🥵 …. And can see by your camera shots your weren’t lying about the mosquitoes 🦟

[@cat-zk8bv]

Those bats were giving you the evil eye. " Shining a light in our eyes while we sleep! Just wait until you're asleep tonight"! 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

[@gabrieljimenez9762]

Wetland Park living up to its name! Amazing video. So beautiful!

[@leomattil7931]

I occasionally watch bat hanging tree🙊

[@Bob32328]

James do u know the street McKenzie street in st Lucia? Well my great grandmother owned half of st lucia and she named McKenzie street cuz it was he surname

[@susanlenk9284]

Thank you for the smile you gave me and a good chuckle.! Another grand adventure. What will the future bring??

[@cookiebombay2683]

Delightful to watch from start to finish!

[@jackiealbasini5409]

Nobody does silliness as well as you do James! The bit on the crabs was hilarious! So your experience of the monkeys at St Lucia is exactly the same as ours - but did they also eat Kirsty's lipstick is what I want to know?

[@msbarb1]

Thank you for making me laugh I really need this in a world where so many thing seem crazy these days, love the series and missing you on WildEarth...BTW great taste in caps I got the same one on my visit to Southern Africa last year

[@erinnh3203]

Was really happy to see a new video, James and Kirsty. I’ve watched for years on Safari Live and I’m enjoying these videos. Take care.

[@hoochone3225]

Was so envious of you guys , walking along that desolate beach...the sea morphed with such expansive open spaces is so therapeutic...!!! That and the mountains too. (The Berg) On another note, camper trailers are not cheap....did yours leak? Cheers Mate!!

[@lindafromcalifornia1155]

Love the sound effects with the crabs. Of course, your neighbors, the Vervets came by to say hello.

[@anneliemarais1]

LOVE the part starting at 7.9 minutes

[@francescam9539]

Great video! I love the music choices, was that Dark Knight theme music? The crabs!! Hilarious! Perfect ending. 😀👍👍

[@kolbeone1]

I really enjoy the music you choose for these clips.

[@mypathunfolding]

Is camping fun yet?? Awww, those batties were SO CUTE!! I also enjoyed the crab sounds. :-)

[@sowelu66]

WooHoo 😃 #4😁

[@sowelu66]

What I have learned today 1. Weather prediction is the same there as it is here. 2. Caves are nice, even if it's not the one you were looking for. 3. Bats are cute. Guano is not. 4. Society must rename the traffic craziness. Long Live the CRAB RACE 🏁 5. House cats do not find screaming crabs as amusing as I do. 6. James & Kirsten's neighbours are very messy. See you next week 😊

[@LadyMaelBethad]

I don't believe you actually left stuff for the vervets :-D

[@housedochter]

nice to see you both Lovely from Amsterdam

[@hemaldevchand3519]

Hi James, how far was your walk to the cave from Mission Rocks.... Keep filming...you guys are awesome

[@curious1neueckeka692]

Lovely.

[@fernlintner65]

Beautiful turtle! Beautiful scenery, goofy James, and bat poop what more could you ask for?

[@wendyh3891]

Wow the monkeys are so invasive & hope they didn’t do too much damage in your tent? Was that a Purple crested Turaco calling? I love the hinged tortoise ❤️❤️ Thanks James & Kirsten for this fun video 😁 What was the raptor on the rocks?

[@Noriko1988]

:-D that ninjacrab cracked me up *rofl*... Be carefull with those bats, they might carry who knows what..... covid or some other nasty deseases :-o ...

[@J0J02007]

It is called liquid sunshine. We get that all the time in British Columbia, Canada.

[@hellosunshine9915]

Such a beautiful beach ! James I think we have the same weather channel you do 😂🤣 Thank you both!!

[@dixiee3554]

Beautiful bats. They remind me a bit of Australia flying foxes. Do you know if the ones you filmed are insectivors or fruit eaters? Loved it, as a l ways!

[@TheWildernessChannel]

Nice video James. I liked the crabs and the bats. Was that at Mission Rocks in St. Lucia near Cape Vidal?

[@RLaraMoore]

The bats were very pretty! cute faces, long snouts. what kind are they?

[@ThisAngelhorse1]

Print on Video, Egyptian fruit bats

those bats are adorable.... walking barefoot in a bat cave doesn't seem like the best idea though.

[@dontuse1029]

So these tents can't be zipped up?

[@rambofordclanhenry8521]

So you just let them have a go at your camp? would they attack if you tried to swoosh them away

[@vokstar]

I feel the monkey's pain, always a sad day when there are no more mince pies.

[@JamesHendry]

Worst day of the year

[@vickyb5935]

Loved this video! Surprised you can throw stuff away like that, knowing that monkeys can retrieve it and throw it around anywhere. Am curious about your shots of the two of you “walking away” from the camera....did you do it with your drone which you could then fly to you after that, or did you have to walk all the way back to pick up the camera?
