Mana Pools - A Wildlife Photographer's Guide.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Have you been to Mana Pools? If yes, please tell us what you thought of it. If not, will you be going now?

[@Radiohutch1]

Well done William. Yes, I have been to Mana Pools. As a matter of fact it was the first park that my wife and I visited while on our maiden safari in 2004. Most memorable was spending two days canoeing on the Zambezi with the pods of hippos nearby, a den of baby spotted hyenas, a few enormous male lions. And the herds of elephants and cape buffalo. Zimbabwe is such an amazing place, extremely rich in wildlife.

Mana Pools is the most amazing safari destination in Africa. So wild.

Mana Pools will be forever in my memories, such a unique and amazing park. Your video captures the athmosphere

[@PangolinWildlife]

Thank you.

[@janiszeh]

I was there 7 years ago. We spent a week camping in different spots along Zambezi river. What an amazing experience it was. One of my biggest dreams is to come back there one day.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Its still amazing!!!

[@bricecanon]

Thanks William this remind me one of the most amaizing time I had in wildlife. I loved that place so much. Your video is brilliant, your work awesome

[@PangolinWildlife]

[@sarelalberts8890]

Thanks for sharing William .Mana is a wonderful place .From there you must go onto a houseboat on Lake Kariba .

[@PangolinWildlife]

Sounds great!

[@BethHutter]

We were in Mana Pools this March. Cloud was actually our guide- it was lovely to see him in the video. It's a very special place. We stayed at Zambezi Expeditions. Not fancy- but really up close and personal with the wildlife. Had hippos grazing outside our tent, eles wandering through camp, AMAZING!

[@PangolinWildlife]

So happy it brought back such great memories for you

9:01 We saw that little cheeky peek Will 😉 Great video, and being able to photograph on foot, wow.

[@PangolinWildlife]

😁

[@vivianefrancart5065]

Wauw, that must be Miraculous to be there. I find it very beautiful qua fauna, but that's thanks to the climate. Let's hope the climate stays there as it is. this is a wonderful safari, I am going to inform myself better about the possibility for older people because AFRICA IS IN MY HEART SINCE I WAS EIGHT. MANA POOLS IS ALSO HEAVEN ON EARTH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS PRECIOUS MOVIE🌷🌱🌳🍀♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@paulcooper8818]

[@exploringcapewinelands2210]

A magical place with so many memories

[@PangolinWildlife]

Yes it is!

[@MovingPicturesAfrica]

Beautiful shots. You've got me thinking it's time to get back to Mana.

[@PangolinWildlife]

You should!

[@18shahul]

Wonderful capturing ...

[@PangolinWildlife]

Thanks

[@JoesWildlifeAdventures]

Great video, you really captured the magic of Mana Pools! Been there twice and it really is an exceptional experience. To get so, so close to those huge bull elephants on foot is an experience like none other. We once had the one they call Tusker touch the tip of our canoe with his trunk and on that same trip had Boswell walk right up to us as we sat on a big log. Not to mention getting to walk with wild dogs and lions…..it’s truly a next level trip.

[@PangolinWildlife]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your experiences too!

[@IrenevanBeek-u3d]

Thanks. Hope to come back. Visited twice.

[@PangolinWildlife]

[@brucegardner4057]

Hi William, wonderful video and as every comment so far it's impossible to pick any favourite clip. I was with you a few weeks ago on a amazing trip to the Chobe, Okavango Delta and Kalahari .In a couple of weeks I shall be Pangolin again, this time in the Serengeti, not sure yet who will be the host but I did throughly appreciate your help and encouragement coming away with thousands of images which I'm still sorting. I must say your video is very tempting to book this trip. Very Best Wishes for the New Year to you and all at Pangolin. Bruce Gardner

[@williamsteelphotography]

Hi Bruce! So good to hear from you. You will be with Janine, Guts and myself (which I'm so excited about). Looking forward to an amazing trip with you. Mana Pools in 2025 sounds fun 😉

[@alisonschwier542]

Looks wonderful. What time of year are the bee eaters nesting in the river banks?

[@raylander6329]

Great video and photography; love the low angles, and loved the B&W shot of the elephant reaching high up for leaves. You guys have trips there? But it did not look like there are places to stay, except for very basic ones.

[@saisparshan999]

Hi William would you mind sharing what lens and camera body you’re using in this video please?

[@Pascaledegermay]

hi, can you explain me what is your camera setting for your incredible photo of the wild dog. How can you have a nice pokey behind and a blur on the first plan. sorry for my bad English !!!! thanks a lot for your answer. (I came in pangolin last year and I hope I will come back one day)

[@beatrixp447]

I would love to visit Mana Pools since I grew in Zimbabwe, but it sounds very expensive.

[@Mr09260]

I take 2 Lenses 70-200 and the Nikon 180-600 for my 1 camera Nikon Z8

[@PangolinWildlife]

Good choices!

[@佐藤貴紀-j3u]

ジンバブエの平原に、アカシアの大木が増えたら良いですね‼️

[@Conorwinters]

Why are there collars on all the male elephants?

[@PangolinWildlife]

They conduct research on their movements...especially the larger males with big tusks.

[@jimbird963]

Is it a no no to say how much this cost ❌💀

[@norbertschulte4979]

Sorry, but Not in german language

[@PangolinWildlife]

Does it auto generate subtitles in German?

[@wilduntamedphotography1260]

Du kannst deutsche Untertitel Unterhalb des Videos beim Zahnrad Symbol aktivieren wenn dir Englisch nicht liegt. Oder du besuchst auch meinen Channel der 100% Deutsch ist😋 Lieber Gruss Marco
