So glad we found you You tube channel.

The Hendrys have done it again👏👏👏

[@mindytillapaugh3465]

Oh Mr. Hendry..... all my life I have dreamed of Africa - and for most of my life, it was as unreachable to me as the moon. Until 2019 when my lifelong dream came true, and I traveled half way around the world and stood on the Mara. At that moment, my long held belief seemed true....that Africa is where God goes when he/she wants to remember the world as it was - before man came along and messed it all up.... Seeing that elephant standing on its hind legs brought that all back to me, and brought me to tears. And for that, sir - I am eternally grateful - THANK YOU !

[@desertrose2059]

Magnificient work again! How beautiful Mana Pools look!! That is a wonderful acrobatic elephant, loved it!

[@tuberyyz]

Absolutely beautiful James and Kirsten ! 💕🇨🇦

[@judyjennings691]

Incredible to see the Ellie's stand on their hind legs to feed. 🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lisag5670]

Hi Judy, wasn’t that incredible and the tusks…just beautiful

[@graemethorne4967]

Fabulous, rather entertaining indeed, reminds me of our Zambezi valley tour 1987 Happy to see it’s still a wonderfully enchanting wilderness. Lovely film sir and ma lady

[@narellethorne819]

[@goldengirl54]

[@sueh1091]

happy belated birthday dear James Hendry! we love you! so glad we still get to see videos you share and make. keep making them! hope you enjoyed your birthday!

[@christinafreeburn1888]

The final episode was excellent!! What an amazing team you both make! Thank you James and Kirsten for sharing this part of your life with us. It allows people like myself who are disabled and housebound to have an amazing African adventure. 🐘 Sending you love and wishing you happiness from Toronto, Canada.❤️ (and Boswell....you rock! 😁)

[@lynnknight2192]

A true privilege to spend your birthday at a magical place like Mana Pools. Thank you for sharing it with us in your soulful way.

[@layalabi1667]

Wow!! That was an unforgettable wilderness moment with the elephant!! Thank you!!!!

[@roses9339]

Your style is wonderful, this is the first time I've seen your vids. You remind me of the shorts prior to the main movie when I was a kid. The chap always spoke as measured and comically as you, so it was entertaing and beautiful. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (71 yrs)

[@lisag5670]

Happy Birthday James! What a beautiful place to spend your birthday. Looks like it was awesome The encounter with the ellie bull was incredible 🐘

[@tonynz9954]

Congratulations Jamesie on becoming yet another year older and perhaps wiser like Daddy.. What a fantastic birthday present .Mana Pools in all its glory. I am sure that bi-pedal ellie used to perform at the Boswell Wilkie Circus. So pleased to see that you managed to keep a calm head whilst dealing to that damn irritating tyre. A lesser man would have resorted to obscenities and a lot of kicking. Ah but on one's birthday, one must maintain a calm demeanor at all times, even when semi- naked. Absolutely wonderful filming from both Kirsten and James. No doubt the birthday was celebrated with a bottle of apple juice costing an exorbitant amount of Zim Dollars.

[@delsurf71]

Very much enjoyed the entire video. The bipedal ellie shots, the young bull and the spousal banter that I can only in vision may include more censored words on this platform were great also. Thank you.

[@NgonidzaisheNgonidzashe]

What a series! Hope I can visit Mana Pools someday.

[@lindaroberts4307]

An awesome series! What a beautiful place!

[@dotholbrook46]

Thanks. I loved it. You guys are awesome. Loved the face you made James when you showed your love of the nuts

[@sparra3819]

Humour, interpersonal snippets, animals sharing moments of their lives, glorious scenery complete with enveloping sounds of the bush all come together in 24 minutes that plays like a full length feature film. Honestly, a wonderful creation.

[@cynsab9789]

Well done James and Kirsten! Absolutely beautiful series. 🙏🙏🙏

[@rhodesia1578]

Happy birthday James .. soon this year I hope to return to my beloved Mana pools.. my country of birth.. my home . Thanks for your blogs !

[@debb713]

Wishing you a Happy and Blessed Birthday, James. Thank you for taking us with you on your trip and letting us meet Boswell as well. Enjoyed every min of every episode.

[@vickyb5935]

James and Kirstin, that was, for me, the most beautiful trip you have taken. Mana Pools is so special…I still can`t get over how ALL animals room the landscape together in harmony. When you ended with „return…to heal our human souls“, I teared up! Your photography and music made this into a special time to „escape“ from my everyday life into the beauty and peace of Africa - thank you!

[@aussielady4]

James... you capture spectacular footage...🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Oh and happy birthday to your mother who shares your day too.. Bless you both...🍾🍾🎂💐

[@jeffreyrule8143]

Happy Birthday James. Thanks for inviting us along.

[@roamingrhino8846]

Spectacular. Incredible encounters, especially on your birthday. How very special.

[@dixiee3554]

Thank you James and Kirsten. So beautiful. Your videos make me want to visit Africa. ❤❤❤

[@snipchick]

Magnificent as always. Thank you for sharing James & Kirsten. ❤️

[@peanuts1173]

This was beautiful and funny and thank you for sharing! Happy Birthday James! You and Kirsten are the best!!

[@nancyf52]

Thank you James and Kirsten. Always enjoy! The ellie on his hind legs was great and so was the footage. Your Birthday is also mine so I know it was in October 21' hehe

[@riabb8725]

Wonderful @James, the ending brought a tear to my eye. Tour words touched my heart and soul.

[@etienneswart8700]

Hi James, vast improvement on your video. Please share you equipment you use. Especially the tripod and the tripod head you fix to you window Many thanks

[@kaywoodward9283]

Good intro music. I wasn't sure what it was at first, then realised that you had done Happy Birthday to a different pace. I had a friend who played piano and did the same thing. One Sunday near Christmas he was playing "She'll be coming round the mountain" before a church service. Only a few people realised. The close up encounter with the elephant was amazing. Then he seemed to go to sleep. The scenery was awesome. I wish I could be there too. I must put this on my bucket list.

[@karherineware3508]

James, I have been truly enjoying your videos from the past year or two. You are honing your skills well. I enjoy your voice, thoughts, humor, and perseverance. A wonderfully unique gentleman. Congratulations on your marriage and child! Thank you for sharing your experiences!

[@SandraNelson063]

James...is an actor playing a stereotype character. He's darn good at it. That takes WORK. As someone who worked hard for a Theater BA, I appreciate his efforts. The elephants and lioness are quite beautiful.

[@mnm25479]

Absolutely enjoyed the elephants. Wow, that was one gorgeous bull. The young guy with his crossed legs looking bored and curious at the same time. And, that cute baby elephant pretending like it knew what it was doing browsing with its family...

[@guidemonkey]

Good to see you thriving in '22 James! Many exciting wild life siting to you! And all those that you care for! Say hi to my people! Especially the chimps!

[@annahasty7191]

Happy Belated Birthday!! 🎉 amazing footage ❤😎

[@witchothewood2666]

Happy birthday, Mr Hendry! Your videos have a timeless and dream-like quality, so calming and peaceful.

[@1psfinla]

That was spectacular! Beautiful filming, editing, music, I don't how you do it but these get better every time. That elephant encounter must have been so incredibly special. Seeing Boswell also wonderful. It's good to see and hear more from Kirsten also. Your closing comments were quite profound. Thank you as always for sharing with us, can't wait for the next series!

[@JoseRodriguez-zy6jq]

James you are the best at what you do. Entertainment!!! Happy birthday James.

[@janpowers8952]

Excellent as usual! Best thing I have watched since your last episode. Thank you again for all you both do!👍🏻👏🏻💜

[@tallyho2655]

Thank you James, as always this series is stunning! Looking forward to hearing the title of your new book this year :)

[@debrabolton9372]

Happy belated birthday, James! I loved the footage of the elephant on his hind legs. Truly my favorite wild animals. A dream of mine is to visit Africa and witness all of its animals. If not to be, I have beautiful videos to watch like this one. Thank you! ❤️

[@gizmo7962]

[@sueb6831]

All over Southern Africa sunsets are deemed the bees knees. Ony if u are on Lake Kariba on L Malawi etc. It is the sunrise my fellow bush seekers that is truely sepecactuler. As James so abley showed.

[@dfoel]

James, this was fantastic. Everything about it was delightful!! Thank to you and Kirsten ♥

[@apogeeous]

Thank you for sharing your stories. All these places are quickly becoming top on my vacation list. You are an amazing videographer!

[@thejerseylady1]

Birthday blessings to you, James. Gloria 🐂

[@ubombogirl]

sorry for no doggies on your bday, james! however, you DID get some delightfully amazing ellie-fant footage. looked to be a nice bday...well, except for having to change the tire 😕. thank you to you, kirsten, and the in-laws for sharing your adventure with us. hope to see y'all next time wherever the road carries you. 😁

[@janpowers8952]

Can’t watch premier but will definitely watch later!

[@FIORGOBASAUDEAMUS]

[@jdm1078]

Very cool, nice work Hendry's!!

[@rachelbarrie5359]

I love the ending James, we will all do this, those who love animals and nature itself ... one day we will walk together in perfect harmony. Thank you so very much to you and Kirsten for sharing your travels. Where to next? Loads of love from this New Zealander 🇳🇿 ❤❤

[@ca_rusty]

Well done to you both on another outstanding series. Beautiful Mana - makes me want to go back so badly...

Happy Birthday Mr Hendry clap clap clap

[@ginalopes6083]

Hope you had a wonderful birthday. Def bucket list to go see the ellies go up on their hind legs to get the high stuff. Just incredible!

[@stevekurtube]

Bravo James and Kirsten ! Thanks for such a moving and beautifully filmed/edited finale. James’ humour combined with calm observations of a bull elephant at 20m left us gobsmacked! Where to next I wonder ?

[@sashakat4692]

What an amazing and magical place! Thanks for sharing it with us. Happy Birthday!

[@Mudjie50]

I love your series. Happy Birthday and wish you all many more seasons in the land where it all began. Can't wait to see what is next

[@giz1847]

Exceptional video!!!!

[@atlantajuls7141]

Great Birthday! From one enchanting moment with a powerful yet gentle giant to a display of your powerful pecs lifting that flat tire 😂. But really, that moment with the Ele made my heart swell. Glad it was a special day and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@clayfaith7342]

I missed the notification again,I"m sure this will be a great video by You and your Team.Now leave me alone while i watch this episode of wild life in Zimbabwe.Be back in a few to give my thanks and opinion :)

[@RLaraMoore]

that was so beautiful. thank you for such an exquisite production. 💖

[@vokstar]

The boiled peanuts didn't sound fantastic, tho typically I go for the roasted type ones, or if I'm feeling adventurous wasabi peas. Fantastic stuff though, that Ellie standing on it's back legs was magical. It was nice to hear James while it was doing it too, one wonders if thats what BBC camera operators (The beeb should get in touch for that kind of footage) are like when they get that kind of shot. Cheers once again for the vids they are so much fun.

[@africassky]

Beautiful

Master piece episode. How don’t you have 1M subscribers?????

Fantastic, thank you!! Hoping for more trips very soon :)

[@JamesHendry]

I hope so too!

[@homeafrica8565]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful adventures in Mana Pools. Spending time with Boswell on your birthday, Wow! So jealous!!!!! You’ve certainly captured the stunning beauty of Mana. I loved spending time at the river, a very special river in my life story. I would also like to say, thank you for making me totally ‘homesick’ for Zimbabwe and another trip to magical Mana. Precious memories in a pristine National Park. An amazing series, thank you. Best wishes and look forward more adventures with you both. Kind regards.

[@JamesHendry]

I hope you get back at some stage!

[@homeafrica8565]

@@JamesHendry thanks James. Problem is: if I do come back, I will never leave again! Still love Africa and miss it too much. Kind regards to you both.

[@rbeard7580]

Sorry I missed it, but I never got a notification. We watched the replay. My fav was the athletic elephant with ginormous tusk. That, and pretending to like the wife’s gift of stale peanuts. (One does that for the “boss”.) It must really add to a self-drive to be able to interpret tracks & other signs. BTW: My wife is also better than I am at spotting things in the bush.

[@rtrouthouse1506]

Lovely

Finally the long awaited day! 2 weeks or is it 3? (It felt like forever!)of waiting impatiently I must say! 😊
