Blood Moon over the Salt Pans. Wild Africa Ep11.

With this episode I conclude our 2018 Africa expedition and shoot, with just one more remaining. In this episode we photograph the blood moon lunar eclipse over from Lekubu Island, Makgadikgadi Pans.

Jeremy, you're certainly not that guy. I'm glad you're not a professional photographer. If you were, you'd probably be the _only_ employed nature photographer from North America. Seriously Jeremy, your work is amazing. I don't even know what else to say - except that I have to read the credits to tell your shots from Andrew's. Les

[@stevenk805]

I could have watched 10 more minutes of the slideshow at the end. The music/backgrounds sounds coupled with the images were pure majesty. Thank you!

[@takayama1638]

Yes.

[@gtr-34]

Agree !!!

[@MarkRose1337]

This series is easily your best ever. What a magical finish!

[@cameronwood1994]

Someone below described this video as "exploring the indescribable majesty of God's creation", and not only do I think it describes your programmes, but overlanding as a whole. I really think that this series has seen you back at your very best. You really have recaptured the magic that made your Angola trip to discover the source of the Okavango so magical, and expanded on it. This to me is overlanding. The vehicles are just the fantastic by-product which allows us to reach the amazing places that few ever get to see. Thanks for the videos Andrew, they brought a tear to my eye.

[@davidwoods80]

Andrew, that final group of stills evoke a sense of sadness or loss, as if you don't expect to pass that way again. Let's all hope that isn't the case.

[@rdolan14]

Stunning... absolutely stunning. I have been waiting patiently for this episode. It did not disappoint.

[@atomicsmith]

Been a subscriber for some time, but I must say your cinematography and storytelling are truly amazing. One of the small number of true artists on KZbin. Thanks.

[@tomsviewphotographyadventu2514]

Your love and passion for Lekubu Island and the Makgadikgadi Pans really came through in your narrative. Your love for Africa came out in the photos you and Jeramy share at the end of the video. Looking forward to the stories from the cutting room floor!

[@getoffmycliffguy]

Wow! I binge watch the whole Wild Africa series and it was fantastic. Your visuals are amazing. You guys are great photographers! lol. Thanks again.

[@NormW64]

I did not expect that "the end" so early... eager for more! Excellent my dear friend!!! Thanks a lot!

[@edwardgodsell]

So Andrew and Jeremy do we call you the light wispers, well done good to see the southern cross in there too the great sky's of the southern hemisphere.

[@cjwei1766]

The last few minutes of this video was breathtakingly beautiful and my favorite part of this series. What is the song playing at the end?

[@wanderingambience799]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you. I am inspired and I also overwhelmingly miss Africa. I want to go back, back to my Africa.

[@briank.c.3647]

Oh! my goodness!!! These were the best photo's and video. You did awesome! Enjoyed it all........Brian,

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Andrew, do you still like the Osmo thingie? Seems like a great "quick cam."

[@jeetts59]

Beautiful video, nice images and informative regarding the history. Regarding places that stirred the soul, for me it’s the Simpson desert, no place on earth makes me feel peaceful.

[@Christian76S]

andrew, you should check out the VR/AR app SKY VIEW LITE. with it you know where sky objects are ..

[@AKapsa]

I have a bittersweet feeling finishing this African series. Bitter couse Im siting ir small squer, room in small northest europien country, far from these wonders. Sweet because I loved it, every second of it, and small viruslike idea creeps in my mind, "maybe one day..."! Thank you Andrew!

[@muhammadnimji4626]

Absolutely beautiful! This reminds me of an overland safari from Nairobi to Lake Turkana and back. On our return journey we drove thru the Chalbi Desert on our way to Marsabit and on to Isiolo in the Kenyan Rift Valley. In the midst of this vast desolate land we set up camp for the night. As the moon arose around 2:30 am the Kenyan Savannah sparkled as though we had entered a diamond mine with a clear yet star filled sky. A rare view of Mars could be seen using binoculars! We took turns to protect our camp from wild game and Somali Shiftas! As the moon started to set around 4:20 am we were fortunate to have a most spectacular sunrise. A sunrise and a moonset all in one glimpse! Truly a once in a life time experience. Africa, is truly a blessing on this planet!.

[@WhiteCavendish]

Absolutely spectacular. This is what overlanding is all about for me - exploring the indescribable majesty of God's creation. Seeing things and places few others get to see. Thanks for sharing these magnificent images with us.

[@paachi]

Brilliant shooting Andrew and Jeremy. This and the previous episode with the elephants were my favorites. Seeing the pictures and videos it bought up a quote from Ansel Adams - "Shooting with intent"..meaning capturing the emotion that you feel in a scene rather than just document. Your pictures and videos take us through the emotional journey. The choice of music is just spot on. Brilliant stuff. I have so much to learn. Keep up the good work mates!!

[@legolas0305]

Oom well just amazing! Like you said in one of the episodes "how can you describe this". Whilst I enjoy you building the trucks, you do it for a reason, and reason is to experience this. Oom thank you, Baie dankie for taking us with you to enjoy such a beautiful setting.

[@BittnerBuddenbrock]

Been on Kubu Island in 2015 - your video and stills brought me back to this indeed magical place! Thank you

[@BuzzOverland]

Hey that song you playing during the display of the pictures and in episode 10 during drone shots is so emotional and makes me love your work even more. Thanks to you i love and appreciate my country Botswana more. Can you share the name of the song. And when are you coming back for another expedition of Botswana?

[@jrheathrow2040]

One of the best series in the world, this entire Africa series took my breath away, please keep on doing this Andrew you are so amazing at it. I now feel obliged to pledge on patron

[@4xoverland]

Patreon makes these possible. Without it, I assure you, they couldn't. And the more I get, the more trips I can do. Close to 90% of Patreon funding goes into shoots. The balance goes to camera equipment for those shoots.

[@Trekkies900]

Wow wow wow. Andrew this last one was magic. Entire series as well. Typing here from Twee Rivieren after me and the wife did entire Kgalagadi mostly Bots side for the last 3 weeks. Congrats on another great episode and hoping for many more

[@takayama1638]

That place does have a unique and unusual beauty. Hey Jeramy. Wow, Andrew, it was like, all of a sudden, it ended! Absolutely excellent!

What else can I say about this but Bravo? 👏 so wonderfully put together I truly loved every episode of this series. I think this was worth several cups of coffee and a coke! as soon as I figure out this Patreon thing :)

[@vinbar35]

Watching the moonrise over the Boa babs made me muse how many of those has that tree seen? Andrew is right that Africa isn't all about the animals.

[@benjohnson1082]

Absolutely amazing Andrew, thank you for for allowing us to bring you and your many art forms into our lives through your videos.

[@RoshanKaniyath]

Very Beautiful. Can you pls share the track ..

Wonderful episode. Enjoyed following along your planning process for the moon shots. The stills at the end were stunning. Thanks as always for bringing us along.

Amazing Andrew, thank you....

[@riteshmishra908]

loved this episode very much.......

[@fionamoffat6943]

Andrew, you must release the last ten minutes as a stand-alone video; a great example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. Have been watching on a loop at work, can’t get enough of that song with yours and Jeremy’s photos, just inspiring.

[@fionamoffat6943]

Maybe it was three minutes...

[@wolatzakholi2257]

Wow great wild photos 👍

[@cornevantonder]

One of the best places to camp and enjoy the peace and quiet

[@flapbean]

Absolutely, inspiring

[@FrigidColdFlying]

Amazing finish to the series. Loved watching this one. Happy you were able to return through Botswana. I wish you had both been able to see the moon rise over the Pans. I've seen it a few times so red I had to check my watch to make sure it wasn't the sun rising already. It's magic sleeping out on the Pans. Not another sleep like it. Totally alone. Haunting.

[@pauls4708]

what are the (presumably birds)birds that to my uneducated ear sound like Hyena,s? Amazing immages there your love for the place come through.I dont know what is about 4wds that make some people wnat to drive all over everything they come across

Fantastic!!!!! Thank you Jeremy and Andrew. Love to know who’s singing on the soundtrack. She has an amazing voice 👍❤️

And to Jeremy ... I’m studying art practice/fine art with an emphasis on photography and I can definitely tell you photography could be your second calling if you wanted it to be. Excellent work!

[@philgrant7205]

What an awesome series. Thank you Andrew. This last episode was breathtaking. Bravo. I never comment on KZbin clips. This time I had to.

[@swidahooverlanding2867]

I can only go to places like this through you and your channel. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us less fortunate fellows. See you on the trails, George.

‘Awesome’, ‘wow’ - overused superalatives that don’t do these images justice. But ‘wow’ - thanks for sharing.

[@Dorko85]

Unreal footage and pictures

[@ajvdaa]

Again a fantastic episode, this one I already watched twice. The different choice of classical music really puts the right emotion in place.Overall I love you're work with the mix between 4x4 technical information and pure beauty of mother nature. Well done!

[@boddina]

Wow! Just stunning clips and images you've shared here. Thank you!

[@wesleymcgonagle6653]

@Jeremy James is a great Photographer as are you Andrew, the Fact that you and Jeremy are out there capturing the images the way you perceive them makes you both photographers/photo journalist etc. excellent work again Andrew... I do have one suggest check out PhotoPills App it is an amazing tool for locating constellations, sun and moon rise etc.

[@kellydrolet4740]

Andrew you have set the destinations for our next trip to Africa - fantastic images! Thanks to you and Jeremy - wonderful work.

[@aussievaliant4949]

I've enjoyed every one of these episodes of Wild Africa. I get so immersed in the experience that when an episode ends, it's a bit of a jolt back to this reality. Judging by the comments here, the experience is similar for many of us and shows what an accomplished person you are. Many thanks.
