[@pauldarbishire7226]

Thanks for an awesome video and for bringing back so many happy memories. In the early 90's I worked for 4 years on the Lesotho Highlands Water Project and spent every long pay weekend travelling, in my Opel Astra and camping in southern Africa's wonderful game parks. I had the great honour and joy of spending a month in the Kruger at the end of my contract. A week of that month was spent at Tsendze in Autumn '94 in my little 2 man tent and small camping set up and it was glorious.

[@EdwardBath]

That’s such an awesome story Paul! I’m sure you saw some amazing places! Thank you so much for the awesome comment and story mate!

[@josephdaigneau430]

Great video very well done

[@EdwardBath]

Edward, wow what a great video. The Kruger is such a special place. Its a spiritual experience and rejuvenates the soul. Im from Caoe Town & try get to Kruger at least once a year. I didnt manage to get there last year but have just returned from 2 weeks in Kruger. Thanks for the great videos. Cant wait to get back...... Hopefully June/July

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much Justin! It certainly is an amazing place, I hope you had a great trip and thank you for all the awesome support!

Hi Ed. HIP KZN was established in 1895 being the 1st National Park in SA. 😊 Kruger 2nd.

[@davehowell6453]

Gidday Edward, maaate! Two extra a's for you in mate today! When I hear your intro 'Howzit guys, so we're out here on our way to Botswana', I get this tingle up my spine and I know I'm in for a 30-minute treat. Suddenly, the world becomes a simpler place - no covid here, no horses being abused in Port Elizabeth, no death and no decay! (Sorry, I got a bit deep there!) All I need to do is open my eyes, open my ears, and take in the indescribable beauty of Africa! The sights and sounds of Africa, seen through your eyes and your lenses. Edward, maaate, you've exceeded you own high standards. Especially the birds, and their calls! You are one of the few that gives them their rightful place. God bless you, Ed. You keep me sane in a time of insanity. Dave

[@EdwardBath]

Wow Dave thank you so much for this awesome comment! I’m glad that you enjoyed the vid and that it made you enjoy the fantastic parts of Africa! I completely agree, it definitely helps get through the tough times this side as well! As always thank you for all the awesome support and I cannot wait to meet you some day! God Bless 🙏

[@sherylevans495]

Great video of one of our favourite campgrounds as well. Miss Kruger awfully and watching this made us very heartsore! (Now live in Canada)

Thank you so much Sheryl! It is an amazing place, hopefully you can come back and visit soon 🙏

Fabulous! Thanks for another great experience. My family and I were fortunate enough to enjoy not only the Eastern part of the country (Blyde, God´s Window, Kruger etc.) but also the Northern part in February this year only just before lock-down. This vid struck a cord. Thank you for all your great content. Very much appreciated. Looking forward to the next one.

Hey man, love your videos, they make me so excited for my trip to kruger next week, just with your intro, when you say you headed to Botswana i almost clicked out of it because I thought it was a different video.

[@wernerziemerink]

Great video Edward. The night sounds and early morning Spook voël (gray headed bush shrike) calls, just put a smile on my face. We have made our booking and will be in visiting the park early next year. Can't wait.

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much Werner! The bird calls certainly are amazing! I hope you have a great trip 🙏

[@rbeard7580]

Thank you so much Murray! Much more to come!

[@crl633]

Tnx, excellent video. We got evicted from Tsendze on the morning of 25 March 2020 as a result of the Covid lock down Regulation after only two knights in this amazing camp. Very disappointing, it was our first time there. Just got back from SANPARKS in Pta, fully refunded and planning to go back asap. We found the dogs on our way out in the middle of the road at the Letaba-crossing, as it they wanted to say goodbye.

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much Carl! I’m really sorry to hear that 👎 I’m glad they sorted you out and hopefully you will be back there soon! Keep well mate!

Fabulous Edward! Really well put together. Wild Dogs have always been known as Painted Wolves, as this comes from their scientific name, Lycaon Pictus. Falling into the Genus, Lycaon. Thank you again for your wonderful videos.

[@EdwardBath]

Thank you so much Drew! And thanks for the info🙏 someone corrected me at camp after seeing the dogs and called them African painted dogs so thanks for clearing that up!

[@stephandelange3625]

Must say I like your camera work in general but not so happy with the repetitive use of “awesome, great, fantastic” it’s too much. You tend to repeat yourself a lot rather use the video with voiceover as you did at some places. Also found the “selfie” work too much, that is where you tend to repeat yourself. Use your companions as a starting point to pan over the dam for example and voice over it in post-production (video editing stage)! Otherwise a good video. Teach your girlfriend how to use the video camera while driving high speed on wet roads!

[@EdwardBath]

Hey man, thanks for the tips but I don’t appreciate you telling me how I should shoot and edit. My stuff is not scripted and is shot as it happens. You state “video editing stage” here like I don’t know what it is? I am a person that really enjoys constructive criticism but you are basically telling me what to do and you are getting this production for free. I use the terms “awesome and fantastic” because I am thrilled to be out there in the bush, are you not happy out in the bush? Please show me your KZbin channel so I can go and crit your work and how you present. Cheers
