I love the fact that Kirsten could not give a damn if the stupid bird flew or not. She had far more important issues to deal with. Irritating flies. Good on you Kirsten !!!

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Loathe flies...irritating expletives deleted.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Especially the stinging ones.

[@veragamsky1734]

awwwwwww. That mantis looks just like the one you drew. Still want a shirt with it on. It is such an adorable one. I really like how you pick the right music to go with the situation.

[@mindytillapaugh3465]

whenever I watch your travel stories, I can't help but think to myself "Why would anyone want to live in a house, in a town - when you can spend your days driving around and being a part of the natural world?" Thank you James for sharing your corner of the world with us ! PS - I have taken numerous screen shots from the WildEarth drives over the past year, and one of my favorites - that I have printed out and hung on my wall - is of you holding up a dung beetle on its dung ball.....thanks for always reminding us of the power of the little things (like Myrtle !)

[@readytogo6569]

❣️👏

[@Sacrosanct77]

I sit on the edge of my seat and watch wide-eyed and am certainly amazed at James' ability to go long periods without blinking.

[@brencurtis718]

loved the sable and to see Chobe in the wet season. Miss Disho our guide there

[@loksterization]

Sable are lovely, something one rarely sees in Kruger these days.

[@spacemanspiff01]

Loving the music choices, guys.

[@mandyl4310]

Beautiful music! And beautiful video, so lovely to see you guys having fun. 😊 x

[@ingemanders5714]

Fantastic as per usual...only thing I don't like..is the episodes are too short...I could watch these all day :)

[@ryandunn9887]

Dig that opening tune guys. Cheers for the memories!

[@JamesHendry]

Thanks, the opening song is called "I Do" by The Hunts

[@kathys7283]

@@JamesHendry I am about to go in search of it!! Great song!

[@ginlynh1229]

Seeing one sable is awesome, seeing an entire herd is spectacular. Wow.

[@samanthav8728]

I loved this! You both are so lovely together! My commercials were delightful and no bother to let run through! Hope it helps some James!

Thank you so much!!

[@JamesHendry]

Song in the beginning is by the hunts - called "I do" - kzbin.info

Kirsten You have my sympathies. Fly up one’s nose eek yuck no Makes one’s flesh kinda crawl ..... Having said that...... The scenery was most splendid. A wonderful collage of flora and fauna........ ⚛️☮️ 💚🐾 🌏

[@cat-zk8bv]

Hello to everyone again. 💖

[@kathys7283]

Love see the -gloriosa lily-- have some coming up over here in Alabama, usa!

[@sheilaleiss5401]

This was the best video of the series--loved the music.

[@howardweber3986]

Sherryl Weber....Wow! Amazing! So lush with wildlife! So gorgeous! Thank you!😍😍😍 Just a thought...do any of the animals ever go into the “ablutions “? Maybe a pair of thong sandals would help with the thorns? 😂😂 Shoo fly shoo! 😬😂 I think the baboon has the hic-ups? Lol The Sable is a beautiful animal....I’ve heard they are quite rare.

[@JamesHendry]

Thanks so much! Yes, we had a squirrel in the ablutions, but the door is kept close to try keep them out. Would not want a lion joining us in the shower....

[@mariettajanssen8149]

Thank you for promoting our country Sir 🙏🖤really appreciate it

[@crispy63]

Wow James... you Sir have outdone yourself. That there was a mighty fine video if I must say so myself. 🐘 elephants and South Africa 🇿🇦 oh and a wife! 😂 Great vid chap!

[@lauramannathoko7991]

Chobe is in Botswana actually not South Africa

[@ghoo283]

Enjoyed the sable, baboons, darter and Myrtle. Great music too

[@JamesHendry]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Beautiful stuff James.... Please fish silly 😂.... Schlong🤣🤣🤣

[@adu6th]

Thank you so much for reminding me of home... couldn’t make it back for the easter holidays but your videos make the situation whole lot better.

[@kathleenjones1399]

Lovely visit with you both! Thanks for bringing Africa to us out here. Hope to come there some day. Hello from Washington state ❤️

[@lisaa7991]

Lovely fun episode as always!

[@4x4offroadtravels]

Great job, great voice for KZbin! Calm and relaxing.

[@JamesHendry]

Thank you! 😊

[@christaylorphoto]

This is fantastic, thanks for sharing, superb camera work and genius narration! Great to see Ihaha again. What’s the camera support thingy you have on the car door? I NEED that in my life.

[@JamesHendry]

Thanks so much! It's called a safari mount - we got it second-hand from a camera shop in Johannesburg called Kameraz

[@christaylorphoto]

@@JamesHendry Thank you.

[@JamesHendry]

@@christaylorphoto Hope it's helpful? I wouldn't say our one is the best out there...

[@christaylorphoto]

@@JamesHendry Thanks, doesn’t seem to be a huge range out there, just like the idea of a steadier camera than the usual resting on a beanbag method!

[@christaylorphoto]

We had a great trip out there in Jan last year, (vid on my page if you are bored), stayed in the same campsites as you. Very wet but like you say - a great time of year to visit.

[@panterachild3206]

miss seeing your adventures! best of wishes

[@cvarchfan]

Absolutely loved this episode!! I always have to wonder how you rarely wear shoes while walking through your camps?!?

[@JamesHendry]

I really should wear them, just nice to feel the soil between the toes...and the thorns.

[@furiousdoe7779]

What sweet the first song ...... did you have some quarrels underway ? By the way fantastic how you synch the music from Straus with movements . Kristin has to put less sexy shirt .. the little flying creepers are attracted to her legs and arms ...... quite amusing ...and sometimes irritating for the cameraman ... .. nice play for theater . You gave me a laugh and smile ... today . Shared it.

[@charmainrhind5564]

Also you look exactly how I imagined while reading the book

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I so enjoy the stories you tell about the animals.

[@kathys7283]

I am about to binge watch all of these! Please go into the Drakensburg mountains and share. On Safari Live, we've only heard about them and seen them in the distance. I hope y'all will go exploring there and take us, too! Blessings sent to James and Kirsten Hendry!

[@kidzdmd]

That sable calf .... :)

[@wimdamen2001]

Interesting disconnect between your wife & you:)

Smart man. Loll. You will never win.

[@nolavout3025]

Love your videos, just subscribed, hubby wonders why your missus always tends to wear that hat, looks ex British ww2, just wondered?

[@hawaiiguy1640]

Awesome video - I was wondering if by any chance there are automatic transmission 4x4 vehicles available for rent. I checked out Chobe4x4 and only saw manual transmission vehicles available.

[@JamesHendry]

They only come in manual configurations unfortunately.

[@rahulrathod-vx6yv]

Looks

[@unopamushango3752]

Bothers me that it's not a Motswana making these videos but I can't hate on this quality content. I wish to make similar videos in the future.

[@paulrobson2323]

You remind me of JOHNY MORRIS on BBC in THE 60s UK

[@gigicostlow4414]

Another awesome video! So many animals and no rain. The slow mo of the sable was sooo cool. Poor Kirsten. I don't blame you not sitting still. I can handle sitting still with a mantis or a cicada or even a big spider on me but not those pesky nasty flies or mosquitos. Thanks again for taking us along on your adventure James and Kirsten.

[@marylovelace7471]

So lovely❤

[@tonynz9954]

What ,no sundowner apple juice to accompany that beautiful sunset ! Shame on you James !

[@JamesHendry]

Alcohol ban in Botswana...it was tough!

[@bushlover4268]

Lovely video - Thank you. The Sable and baby sable are too beautiful. Saw sable in the Orpen Mluwati Concession in January - magnificent animals. Your videos are wonderful.

[@traveltime6975]

Stumbled upon your video today and it brought back so many good memories.....as we too stayed at camp #7 when we visited Ihaha seven years ago! (And I agree, it was a superior site.) We didn't have the luck you had at the ablution block though; it appeared baboons visited before us and the place was a wreck. But we did have a funny final morning in our camp: I woke up first, and heard my wife snoring and snorting loudly. She has sleep apnea and we travelled with a battery powered cpap unit. I figured the battery must have died or her mask gone askew to produce the loud breathing. But then I heard the loud breathing joined by the sound or ripping grass. Well, the wife doesn't usually eat grass, so I opened my eyes and rolled over..and she was sleeping like a baby with her mask on. So I unzipped the tent, and looked out to see a hippo standing on the grass right next to our truck, having a happy breakfast. A bit of an adrenaline rush, as we scooted to the high side of the tent in case he knocked into the ladder and turned our bed into a ramp. All ended well. Thanks again for your posts!

[@charmainrhind5564]

I've read two of your books and I was hooked. Forgot to cook supper because I was lost in 'return to the wild'...

[@stuartfarquhar2620]

The more I watch … the better it gets … you should have been a comedian … you’d make a brilliant field guide 👍🏻😅

Lovely, can you please assist with contact details of ihaha campsite Chobe. Thanks

[@dumanimjo609]

How long....how long must we wait for new content!? For the love of all that is good, go on an adventure and record it for us to see!!

[@paulrobson2323]

VERY INTERESTING AND FUNNY

[@Caroleandabby]

Curious what the large horned animals at the end of the video are.

[@JamesHendry]

Sable! Beautiful animal

[@hellosunshine9915]

Anyone else rewatching these wonderful episodes again ? I just love them ❤️

[@vickyb5935]

I enjoyed this episode and it`s nice how your adventure is not just about the BIG animals(the ones most people want to see) but some of the more unusual or smaller ones. Wanted also to ask Kirsten about the binoculars she used in episode 3, using them with her glasses. I am wanting to get a good pair for an eyeglasses wearer but would hope they wouldn`t be too heavy. With distancing and some lockdown, haven`t gotten to go out to “try” binos that I could use with glasses - they really work???

[@JamesHendry]

The binos we use are really good, works perfectly with glasses too - en.leica-camera.com/SPORT-OPTICS/Experience-Nature/Binoculars/Leica-Ultravid-HD-Plus. Hope this helps!

[@ryannsmith]

I love this series. It's the perfect mix of gorgeous scenery and wildlife, vlog, and your commentary and interactions are the cherry on top. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@JamesHendry]
