[@RahulUrvashi]

Loved watching this with our little daughter :)

[@liberilsiahaan9068]

Wawww bagus sekali.. ini impian sy 20 THN lalu, setelah sy pernah menonton penjelajah dari Perancis yg menggunakan mobil truk . . Trimakasih sudah berbagi dokumen perjalanannya .. ini cukup mewakili keinginan sy yg terbatas oleh keadaan..

[@hencam]

Schöner Clip, danke für's teilen 👍🏾

[@hassim02]

Great video and editing. Would’ve still been great without pressuring the wildlife with the drone and the vehicle. Hope you’re not offended by constructive criticism. Otherwise really enjoyed your content and look forward to watching more from future trips. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing footage

[@brandonsheppard1842]

Your video was beautifully shot, but in at least three different shots you were too close to (and pressured) game. You approached a heard of elephants where one of the members (I believe a female) sounded the alarm: one solo elephant that backed away from you with ears out in warning; and there were several lions that were 'pushed' by the presence of your truck. While it doesn't seem like a big deal, elephants can and do charge vehicles in similar situations - often with catastrophic consequences.

[@WildlifeObsessed]

You don’t appear to have done many Game Drives yourself - too vivid an imagination.

[@brandonsheppard1842]

@@WildlifeObsessed try again. Attacking me doesn't change the fact that I was right.

[@jambawo]

Hats off to this beautiful video, you two romantics! It’s like you paid the animals to make appearances on cue. Good editing too

[@charlkorb2717]

Definitely one of thee best videos I have seen, simply beautiful how you managed to capture the ambiance of Botswana... Thanks for sharing!

[@320highflyer]

Hello Charl.Thanks a lot for the compliment. We really put a lot of effort and time during filmmaking. Every day we spend 2 hours filming accumulated over the day.Sometimes stressful. But at the end we just love the result.Greetings

[@thandalion6313]

Superb video. Made me recall everything I love about wild Africa.

[@jameslaurie8912]

Excellent.Thanks for sharing.

[@1robhut]

Whilst I enjoyed the footage I must express the same concern as an earlier comment! Drone usage is prohibited in most national parks in Southern Africa and whilst I don’t totally agree with the outright ban, I can understand for the sake of the wildlife there has to be some control and the people using drones need to be competent in both drone usage and the affect it can have on the animals they are viewing and I am not confident that that is the case on this video! KZbin also need to take a responsibility in not promoting videos that are taken illegally an can perhaps play a major role in encouraging some form of training and accreditation for people who want to do this.

[@320highflyer]

Hello Tiro. Thanks for your comment.... Appreciated

[@JoesWildlifeAdventures]

Another superb video Tom! Easily as good as your Namibia video. I just love your transitions, aerials and music. Everything is just so well done.

[@320highflyer]

Hello Joseph, thanks for your nice compliment. Really appreciated. This great landscape and unique natural Settings makes it also quite easy to film great Scenes. Putting it together is involved with a lot of Passion and love. Hope to go back very soon. Greetings Tom

[@PenQuinToursSafaris]

Great video in the most beautiful place on earth!

[@mollicas1927]

congratulations for the video! One question: did you request permission to fly with the drone? To who?

[@jateenjain]

at 2.34 was superb dont dare, let we go first

[@rennierad]

Lovely ❤

[@joliettraveler]

What type of device did you use to hold the camera when taking pictures from your vehicle?

[@lionellacroix8681]

Hi Tom, really great video..Which video camera are you using?

[@JoesWildlifeAdventures]

Superb video!

[@320highflyer]

Hello Joseph, thanks for your comment and compliment. Greetings Thomas

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Excellent. Done similar but afraid we cheated and added load of luxuries. Am keen to do a tougher self-drive camping etc (no Lodges), so keen to learn - Vehicle hired or Bought. Have you crossed Borders with it ? Thnx.

[@320highflyer]

Good morning from Munich. Thanks for your comment. We also started with lodges only 7 years ago and on the next journeys started a combination of camping and lodging. Initially mainly in Namibia. Border crossing (e.g. Botswana) is easy with rental jeep (Savanna Car Hire). Just inform them open booking which borders you plan to cross. The border crossing is just time consuming sometimes. To buy your own car needs a good plan ahead. It will always cheeper and hastle free to rent, unless you plan a several month long trip.

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Now. (well Aug, Sept, Oct 2022) done Nairobi to Cape Town, camping etc for all but 10 nights - Land Cruiser from Bushlore. 6,750 miles !! Epic Adventure !

[@waynegifford1397]

Beautiful

[@wimdamen2001]

Beautifully shot. No problem with the drone? I am taking a similar route in September and want to take my MAVIC.

[@320highflyer]

Hello Willem, no Problem with the drone. Just use common sense and stay away from other people and especially Park Rangers. Problems might arise when you should try to take it trough Namibia customs at the Airport without a Permit.

[@wimdamen2001]

Thanks for your reply; can you get a permit in advance ?

[@zizzinpuss]

Don't, drones are banned in the parks for a reason: they bother wildlife. Don't be a smug prick like the goof that posted this video.

[@rutgerstubbe2840]

Drones are strictly forbidden in the park. These laws are in place for a reason. Of course there is a good chance you won't be caught, but don't be an asshole and keep your impact minimal.

[@erwinholzschuh4799]

hallo Mr. Tom, sehr schönes Video. Die anderen Viedeos habe ich mir ebenfalls schon angesehen. "Kaokoveld nach dem Regen" ist ein Mega Beitrag. Eines muss ich ja bemerken, Reisen mit Stil, kann man bei ihnen lernen. Italienischer Espresso, Weingläser und nicht zu vergessen das Tischtuch. Ich find´s so richtig gut (nicht ironisch gemeint). Leider gibt es von ihnen keinen neuen Beitrag. Äusserst schade. Eine Frage, hätten sie mir vielleicht ein paar Tipps zu Botswana. Anfang November bin ich für drei Wochen in Botswana. Allein mit Toyota LC HZJ 76. Herzliche Grüße Erwin Holzschuh (gerne auch per E-Mail, [e-mail])

[@africanwildlifeadventuresj6382]

Great video compliments! Where did you rent your vehicle? Checked the savanna 4x4 rental site but no car like this? Regards Johan

[@320highflyer]

Hello Johan, thanks for your comment. We always rent with Savanna Car Hire in Windhoek. Really great maintained cars and good service. Here is the link from this special bushcamper: www.savannacarhire.com.na/car-rental/1400665740/Toyota-Landcruiser-Double-Cab-V8 Greetings from Munich Tom
