Wildlife up close and personal | Game drive through Hwange National Park Zimbabwe | SafariLife S1E27

[@christophegeorget9855]

I met Adam at the Watershed during the last weekend before lockdown; this is the first time that I subscribe to a channel..that's how much I fell in love with the work, art and passion in the frames! Now that we can enjoy the process of creating magic, how could I say no?

[@AdamandB]

Who is ready for another instalment of "Monkey Wars" - if you do not know what we are referring to, click the info card linked to S01E15 ... where it all began ... dum dum dum.....

[@TheKStone20]

Self drive from Main Camp to Sinamatella should be amazing. I will add it to my bucket list. Thanks for the video A&B

[@gopikasidhu1298]

This is amazing thank you for this channel. We have a large print of the Zebras' playing in the mud at dusk. We bought this piece on our last visit in December 2019. It came back home with us to NYC! Reminds me everyday where my heart is. Africa!

[@slkamson]

Love the pic of all those birds in the tree!

[@lee-anneduplessis764]

Beautiful photography - makes one feel as if you are there in person

[@ceciliacastro8213]

Thanks Adam for the much needed distraction. I’m tuning in from New York City and your Safari life videos are very up lifting. Thanks again.

[@kevinhoole]

Your photographs are incredible, and watching what you guys are up to is inspiring (and pretty envy-inducing!).

[@debbievanniekerk7499]

Beautiful! We are so fortunate to have such beauty nearby!

[@hannerefsholt2047]

Adam, it reminds me so much of my travel many years back, I get tears in my eyes!

[@AdamandB]

Thanks so much Hanne 😊

[@charstew7834]

Great insight to how your beautiful photos are created!

[@priestasasober]

Beautiful footage. Brings back so many memories of my times there!

[@natalielord927]

Love this video and brings back amazing memories of my trip to the Kruger. Looking forward to being able to take my kids on safari once they're old enough.

[@antonjantunen]

Great shots of elephants! We saw your pics at the Waterfront last year and hopefully one day we'll have one of those on our wall.

[@marionlusar4734]

found your pictures at the watershed in cape town and loved to see them

[@24taryn]

Hwange is so beautiful, thank you for sharing!

[@lukeguiot]

Met you at the Watershed in 2018, love your work! Great to see behind the scenes! Wishing you well from Scotland.

[@jeremychan7984]

We loved your work when we saw it at the Watershed in Cape Town and couldn't help but buy a print to bring back to Australia with us. Fantastic footage of the elephants!

[@AdamandB]

Hey Jeremy. Which one did you end up buying? Would love it if you sent me a photo of it hanging up.

[@melodyedwards9581]

I like this one the best. Awesome vid. Congratulations!

[@kanaditya]

Amazing man! Love the videos. Waiting for the videos from Botswana. I have a soft spot for Botswana. It’s just special!

[@lenah5513]

I met Adam at the Watershed in March 2019 after visiting a preserve in SA. This vid reawakened the sense of wonder I experienced while watching a herd of elephant. Thanks for reminding me of how wonder-filled the world can be.

[@AdamandB]

We love hearing comments like this! We share our passion for wildlife for exactly this reason. Hope you will be able to join us live tonight - we have linked the reminder in the comment pinned to the top of this video.

[@Charlotte-jv7ol]

Hi, It's so nice to see you! I was in cape town in february and march for an internship as a nurse. I was at V&A waterfront where I saw your work and I was in LOVE! I really like your pictures! It stood out for me from all these nice shops. Hope you are doing well. Greetz from Belgium

[@alishavanderstraaten623]

Fabulous viewing ! Thank you for taking the time to film a little piece of your lives in a world so crazy right now ! Stay safe !

[@kristieleonard2595]

Keep the fun facts coming ! Thanks for your amazing work.

[@helenemara]

Hi from Tel Aviv! I was really blown away by your photography last year in Cape Town and love seeing your adventures!

[@lcbeith]

The decor 🤣🤣 but who cares that is the most incredible spot! Enjoy

[@vickiewagner7929]

Delightful! Thanks for sharing.

[@aamaze1966]

Our first visit in March was amazing but short. Can't wait to come back to Africa. In the meantime, I will live through your videos and photography.

[@nicolebhark6581]

Am so lucky to have one of Adam's incredible photographs! My husband and I fought over the herd of elephants photo vs West Wind. You can't go wrong with either one. Thank you for your adventure filled videos and sharing your stories with us. You are so talented!

[@AdamandB]

*blushing* Thanks so much Nicole. I take it you ended up picking West Wind? The behind-the-scenes footage from that shot will be coming up in the Botswana leg of the trip. Hope you can join us for the livestream tonight.

[@kellielike]

Beautiful. I wish i was back in the safari!!!

[@rosskenny290]

Victoria falls, a place on my bucket list, and luckily not too far from home.

[@000AmericanGirl]

Wow great Video 😍 Love the cut! Greetings from Germany

[@ellendean5217]

Love your videos, lifting our spirits in lockdown!

[@buraktuzunalper6628]

We got to see your amazing work back in 2018 during our holiday in Cape Town, and just realized through your recent email that you have some great content here too, will definitely keep on following. Greetings from Amsterdam!

[@valeskafischer5989]

Thanks for that little insight of how you take your Photos, i love how you not just take a photo of an animal but of an awesome scenery, like the light and the clouds on that photo of the elephant you show in the video. Keep up that good work!

[@AdamandB]

Thanks for noticing that. That is something I am passionate about - capturing the wildlife AND their habitat - especially as these are being destroyed by humans - who knows how much longer we will have these wild places???

[@rishiwijeratne5280]

Great work! Hope all is well in SA!

[@briantilley8011]

I visited Hwange in September just before meeting you in Cape Town. The elephant population is amazing at Hwange but I was concerned at the time about the amount of water and vegetation available. I'm glad to see from your video that it was much greener there in December than when I visited. In the meantime, spring has finally arrived here in Ottawa where the urban wildlife is less exotic consisting for the most part of squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks, although watching a red squirrel chase very much larger black squirrels away is a bit entertaining.

[@irmasopic]

I'm such a big fan of your work and this is the first video of yours I've watched. Keep them coming! 😊😊

[@swiswi128]

I have visited Botswana in 2012, on a road trip from Namibia to Victoria falls. Such amazing memories that come back to life with your video :) Thanks and cheers from France! Alex

[@AdamandB]

Hey Alex! Hope you will be staying tuned for the next couple of videos - we have just finished posting videos from Zimbabwe (will cover some highlights in the livestream tonight) and will start posting videos from Botswana next week - some pretty epic shots.

[@thorbens.3447]

Amazing job, guys. I met you in my parental leave in the craft market in Cape Town one year ago. I was more than impressed by your amazing pictures . It would be more than awesome having one here in Europe!! :)

[@2kadavy2]

Amazing video, Adam

[@martas.4900]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@leylaonal9868]

My husband and I visited your stand at V and A on honeymoon and just love your work. Brilliant video- very relaxing to watch!

[@AdamandB]

Thank you soo much Leyla :)

[@lorelei2876]

Amazing work guys! I just went on my first safari in March! I was supposed to go on from Tanzania to South Africa but the virus hit and i had to fly home to the states. Cannot wait to go back! But in the mean time I'll watch your videos! Thanks

[@darceyjordaan]

Beautiful filmography.... dreaming of being on safari whilst on lockdown in the UK. Plenty of planning time - loving all the detail provided, definitely getting lots of inspiration.

[@kaydeenell4947]

A treat to see such beauty when we are currently unable to go and see it ourselves. While watching, I kept swooning over the scenic frames, and thought to my self "that would be an amazing print", and just then, you showed us the photograph taken at that time. Excellent eye Adam ;) Looking forward to seeing them at the Watershed soon.

[@AdamandB]

Hey Kaydee. Thanks so much. Not sure if that photo will become a print. I usually take thousands on each trip and end up with maybe a handful that become prints. Always looking for something with that WOW.

[@henniejacobsz8631]

Hi Adam. Thank you for sending me the e-mail about your KZbin Page. We met you more than a year ago when we were in Cape Town for the Argus cycle race. Was great meeting you and we have been upgrading our house and still trying to decide which of your AMAZING photos to select. So for now it os amazing to watch these videos of you and where you go to find these amazing shots. Keep it going. We are watching all the way!

[@AdamandB]

That's great to hear! We are working on our online store - so hopefully that will be ready just in time for home decorating😉

[@springbok1978]

Stunning! I was born in Zimbabwe but haven't been there since. Safari Zimbabwe is going on my bucket list! :) As well as going to Cape Town and your shop on the Waterfront again. Groete uit Duitsland, stay safe!

[@AdamandB]

Ah Zimbabwe is really special and we would love to go back there soon. Mana Pools is something else but even Matusadona and Gonarezhou were super special.

[@AlexaNdra-en1vq]

Its so much fun to watch your videos of the 90 day trip. Its always inspiring me to plan another tour...thank you for that...an I love your photographs

[@AdamandB]

So glad you are enjoying the videos from the trip. What has been your favourite park so far?

[@rebekahlewis5257]

I love your work. I saw you at a small gallary when I was 16 ago in KZN, South Africa. One of your zebra pieces really stuck with me and I was shocked that all these years later you still connect with fans. So happy to receive the email !

[@AdamandB]

Hey Rebekah! That's amazing, glad I saved all those emails.

[@cliffeaton6025]

Adam I am so glad you have time on your hands!!! Time to produce these amazing videos, which are so inspiring. I considered myself a reasonable wildlife photographer until I met you and saw your prints in CPT. Keep safe and well

[@AdamandB]

Hey Cliff. Thanks so much for the kind words. These videos are loads of fun and we have really upped the game in the latest expeditions - so hopefully they will just get better and better over time.

[@uraniabellos8414]

Ah how beautiful. All I've been wishing for during lockdown is to be able to go to the Bush. Lol, and shout at some baboons.

[@AdamandB]

Ah the baboons. Hope you can join us for the livestream tonight. We are actually going to recap the Monkey Wars from the previous episodes since the Monkey Wars continue in the upcoming episodes in Botswana.

[@jamescherryholme6170]

Visited the Watershed in January 2020 while we were on holiday in Cape Town... we were mesmerised by the emotion and the feeling captured in the images and would really like to be able to hang one in our living room one day. Keep up the great work Adam and B.

[@AdamandB]

Thanks so much James!

[@edithniessen9175]

Thanks for the awesome video of the Hwange NP. Your work really inspires me and hopefully oneday soon we will be able to visit ourselves. Adam you rock :-)) Looking forward to see you back at the watershed.

[@AdamandB]

Thanks so much Edith!

[@charlesashwell4901]

Hi from the Ashwell family! We bought the huge Lion print from you at the Watershed in January. Safely home and framed above our fireplace. Loving seeing your videos 😊

[@AdamandB]

Hey Katherine! So great to hear from you and glad that the lion is watching over your fam. Please send me a pic - love seeing my work around the world.

[@ipisapabepellepe]

Amazing video Adam!

[@lisafalquero4056]

I just love hearing all the sounds of the wildlife and the silence (compared to living in London) in the bush! Definitely makes me want to go back on safari so bad!! 😀 plus of course as usual your pictures look insane!

[@ilanadutoit7141]

I saw Adam's work at the Watershed in December - and it took my breath away! I have never been a big "wildlife prints in my home" type of person, but he has changed my views! Absolutely love his work! And how nice to now be able to experience the wildlife scenery with him.

[@AdamandB]

Thank you so much. That really means a lot to me. I try and capture the spirit of the Africa in my photographs. That sounds a little strange, but if you can capture that magic, then it becomes more than a wildlife print.

[@MegaBoorad]

Looking forward to seeing the rest of these updates!

[@vschmidt8232]

With all the lockdown and #stayathome situation it´s nice to watch your videos - as kind of escaping method ;-)

[@AdamandB]

While the lockdown has been tough, having a way to connect with likeminded people like yourself has get us going - cannot wait to explore again and will definitely appreciate it even more.

[@ThePhrozenShade]

My gf and I remember meeting you at the V&A a couple months back, truly unforgettable work! 👌🏽 We’re saving for a big print for above our bed... difficult to choose though 🙈

[@oliviafountaine2086]

Great to see you in action and an insight into how you capture your fantastic pictures! Looking forward to putting the Lion picture up in my flat in London.

Thank yo so much Tania. That really means the world to me. Hopefully when you come back I have some new ones hanging up.

Wow, amazing!

🤩🤩 it was so much fun.

[@sarahcarden5508]

Beautiful! I’ve always wanted to go to Hwange. Elephants will forever my favourite, and that photo of the ellie at the Shumba Pan hide with the clouds in the background is stunning 😍

[@mollyclaflin1723]

So cool to see the behind the scenes for your beautiful photographs! I love photography, but got stuck in a sandstorm on my FIRST day in Namibia in December, and sand got into my camera meaning I spent three weeks in Africa and took no photos! :( I was so glad to meet Adam in CT and grabbed a giraffe print to relive my Namibia memories through his gorgeous photos instead. Can’t wait to go back!

[@AdamandB]

What a tragedy!!! I would literally die if I could not take photos ESPECIALLY in Namibia. Guess that means you have a perfect excuse to come back again 😉

[@JessicaTownsend81]

Adam , you’re making me miss Africa too much! This is great! Thankfully we have all your work on our walls to keep us sane in lockdown ! Keep posting these videos 👍🏻

[@jilschwarz7330]

So glad you‘re sharing these videos with us. Met you at the watershed last year and absolutely fell in love with your pictures. I remember you saying you are travelling a lot and it’s great to see some of the adventures happening behind the lens 👌🏼

[@robynambler1479]

Thank you, being on lock down it's great to bre reminded there's still a beautiful world out there

[@johngatward4928]

Top work Adam. Sadly CV19 has meant we haven't been able to get your amazing pictures framed yet. Excited to get them up on the wall when this is all over and bring a little bit of Africa to Hampshire, UK. Look forward to sharing more adventures.

[@AdamandB]

Can't wait to see it - please send me a photo of it hanging once it is up.

[@emiliejones1547]

Hello from California! A friend and I stopped by and chatted with you about your photography at the Watershed last November. Meeting you and seeing your incredible photography was a highlight of our Cape Town experience. I scroll on your Instagram and color curated Instagram quite often to look at your photography. I love how your youtube channel reminds me of my experience in South Africa and makes me want to come back and explore more of Africa!

[@AdamandB]

Awh Emilie that is great to hear 😍South Africa would love to have you back once things go back to normal.

Amazing to be reminded of my trip to Botswana. Great footage of the elephants. Don’t think I would be brave enough to do an independent trip but would be wonderful to be just you and the Wildlife

Adam, I met you at Watershed in December 2019 before we headed to Sabi Sabi for our first Safari. It was everything we hoped it would be. Life changing. And I have a large print of your giraffe on the cloudy plain, lit by a single ray from the sun, on our wall at home, to forever remind us of our trip.

[@tracicook5448]

Hwange was among my earliest safari experiences. This brings back so many great memories. Your photos capture very special moments and now with the videos we can see the moment in between. Keep up the amazing work!

[@scottstirling1885]

Was in Hwange in April 2019, my first time back in Zimbabwe in almost a decade. Had such a great time, those Main Camp chalets are in better shape than I expected.

[@alenadp]

So many magnificent animals! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@AdamandB]

Which one is your favourite?

@@AdamandB If i must choose- the elephant- partly as it brings back my own memories of being on a safari drive and our driver backing up as an elephant was heading straight towards us with his ears out...

[@maarittastula1902]

Adam, meeting you at Watershed was one of the best things to happen in SA last autumn. The zebra and elephant on my wall are now a small consolation when spending time mostly at home. When looking at your video, I almost was there adventuring the wild life with you two! Heading for better times!

[@AdamandB]

Hi Jenny :) I am so glad you enjoyed the videos. The only problem I am having is that I get a photo that I feel is worth printing once in 10 000. So a lot of the video is waiting for that magic to happen

@@AdamandB You're lucky, when my family and I travel I miss my smoothies and homemade acai bowls so much! But it's worth the sacrifice for camping! 😁👏🏻 Yes! So true, I love having my blender cup as my drinking cup too! Plus it fits in the dishwasher so nicely! A great combination is Apple, Baby Spinach, Celery, Orange, Vanilla Yoghurt, Milk, Banana, Chia seeds and a teaspoon of honey for a little sweetness. Already knocks down 3 of your daily fruits and 2 of your veg, plus you have the dairy and some Chia seeds for extra vitamins and minerals. It's such a power smoothie and tastes amazing!

My mom contemplated buying a huge picture of a giraffe for about an hour and wanted to ship it back to the Netherlands, but ended up not to unfortunately.. at least we can follow your instagram channel to see more pictures, and also some awesome cinematogrophy of Africa to reminisce about the incredible nature (especially during these homebound times..) Greetings from Amsterdam :)

[@AdamandB]

Hey Suzie. Great to hear from you. The lockdown has been pretty tough here but at least it has given us the time to work on these videos and the online store (which we have been meaning to do for ages). We can definitely ship the giraffe in a tube to Amsterdam (maybe a cool present for you mom). Hope you can join us for the livestream tonight?
