Day 10 - Mkuze. THE FIG FOREST WALK AND THE MAGNIFICENT PEL'S FISHING OWL!

[@erwinkruger-haye2698]

Great video…spent 4 nights there in May 2023…very wet year and we struggled for “big” sightings, but we were 1st guest to do bush walk with Patrick after the floods….saw the Pels too….the hides in that place are next level…..that walk is so special…you are right, the park just needs more visitors…we literally were 2 or 3 vehicles in the entire main park…only saw other people once…

Lovely - will definitely have to add Mkuze to our bucket list of places to visit, we are keen birders so this looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully narrated. Love the music and the birds

So great to see you two promoting my favorite park. Mkhuze is very close to my heart and it was soul destroying when I was there in Dec 2018 and there were no other people and the facilities looked so run down. We’ll be back this year Dec. Really looking forward to reconnecting with true nature, and maybe seeing my old ‘Pel’ again.

After 21 nights on our north to south trip of the Kruger, we're back home in the UK and managed to finally catch up on your latest videos. We had a wonderful time and so blessed with great sightings but boy, was it hot! Mid 40's for nearly a week. So glad you got to see your owls. Merry Christmas to you both and safe travels ❤️

Big cats and the some stunning birds, including THE owl. Your videos inspire us to pay closer attention to the birds. Kayaked through a mangrove swamp in SW Mexico, with the local birder. Saw many many kinds of herons, spoonbill, white and brown pelican, frigates!! and an osprey.

My goodness I'm jealous of your Pel's Fishing Owl sighting....been chasing them for years.

[@silkestruebing4175]

Thank you Rikus and Stacey for your lovely videos. Our family follow them and it allows us to experience your journey as if we are there with you. Many thanks for this.

[@staywithstacy.andrikus]

Thank you so much for the comment. We really appreciate it ☺️🙏🏼

What an incredibly special place, I absolutely love Mkuze. So glad you guys finally got the Pel's!

[@staywithstacy.andrikus]

Thank you Brendan! We were so stoked with the Pel’s 🤩🙌🏼 Such an amazing lifer and beautiful bird to see. We are not going to the bush this holiday so we are binge watching your videos at the moment 😉 Great content, already booked our stay at Pafuri River Camp thanks to your videos 😋

[@lieplana8711]

Great video. We had such bad luck last month as we went to the wetlands and really wanted to do the Fig forest walk to spot the Pels but apparently there is only 1 guide that does this walk and he was on leave from the day we arrived in KZN until the day we left. We will go back next year to find it. Thanks for the video.

[@staywithstacy.andrikus]

Thank you! Sorry that you couldn’t do it. We were there for 4 nights last year December and the Forest was flooded after all the rain. Still LOVED our stay, Mkuze is so special and so beautiful 🤩 But so happy we could do it this time. Hope you guys can do it soon 🤞🏼 Ooo.. and congrats with the babs on the way ☺️ Looking forward to your videos with the three of you 😉🙌🏼
