"potty mouth" when you said it I laughed harder than the cuss words...lol

[@lindao1327]

That was brilliant! It was like sitting watching a documentary. Seeing the lions was the high point for me. You are doing great travelling with Crusoe and have every right to feel overwhelmed at times. When he’s older he will look back and thank you! Stay safe and keep enjoying what you do.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Linda, that’s really encouraging and we so appreciate it. Have a great week and we will see you on Sunday x

Hi Sharre!! Friend, how are you!! Africas heart beats strong and we are loving every minute. This epic journey is coming to an end sadly, with just a few weeks of exploring on this continent before heading to the next big adventure. Mixed emotions. Sad to leave but very excited for what’s waiting!! 👍🙏🚐🐘

I just watched the last two episodes and I have to say I spit out my tea and giggled when Tara swore about the elephant!! It’s refreshing to see someone born into the wild life still have so much awe being in their presence. That little man is gonna have so many special moments because of the two of you!

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Debra! Tara doesn’t swear often, but that was a properly “#*$%” situation!! Great to hear from you, and thanks for watching friend. We are loving this journey and are so grateful to have you joining us. Lots of adventures ahead and fairly soon, we will be changing direction and heading to a new continent. Watch this space!! 🙏👍🐘🦁🐘❤️

[@hughprice2310]

This was a superb vlog John and Tara and just shows what can turn up in the bush if you provide your own itinerary. It can be more rewarding, rather than charging around trying to see everything. In many ways, visiting in the so called ‘wet season’ can give rewards! 👍😊

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Hugh! We quite agree, there’s always surprises in the wild.

[@dihowardwood1067]

Hi guys fantastic footage really great ,you are so lucky apart from finding the only police car for miles. Stay safe and enjoy

Well, what an adventure!!!! You got me excited when you mentioned hyenas. They are amazing animals (and much maligned by Disney). See the lion cubs was fantastic. I love lions. They are so cute and cuddly!!! Can't wait to see next week's video.

[@TheNewbys]

We agree Mike, hyenas are amazing and so misunderstood. Sadly none this time, but the lions were super cool to see!

[@peterwhite9261]

That road reminds me of some of the off roads in my home town in Labrador. I thankfully never got stuck or broke down though. Only black bears, wolves and Moose to worry about. Your tour was much more exciting. When John cussed and the camera was on Cruso, he did not look happy! LOL! I would have cussed too!

John was also sorry about the fine, but when you have broken a rule it’s not so bad to pay the price, it’s the rules that you didn’t break and still have to pay for that are frustrating, right!

Thanks Doron!

Tara I wish you had been making videos when our kids were young. You would have inspired us (well probably me!) to push that bit further with family adventures. Now our children are older though, you are inspiring me to definitely push myself further out of my comfort zone in future adventures with just the two of us. Another awesome episode, thank you. 💚

[@TheNewbys]

Ahh Emma, this is such an incredibly kind thing to say. To hear that we’re inspiring you to the edge of that comfort zone is amazing, well done you. Keep at it, and let us know where you guys head off to - there will be magic there, no doubt. 😊

[@karenwiltshire4311]

Another fantastic video, good for you going in hunt for the foot prints, and so lucky to see them. Giraffes are amazing such an amazing animal to watch go about their day. Nata lodge what a lovely stop to relax In the pool after a long drive. Wow that drive rather you then me! Have a great week

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Karen! We agree, we could sit and watch giraffes all day, such peaceful and graceful creatures.

That’s great Veerle! Not sure if the flamingos will be there, we think they might be a wet season thing, but worth checking that - and it’s still so worth it as it’s beautiful. Have a great trip! 🦩

[@tiinah-b2326]

After all that careful searching, I am glad you were rewarded by finding the lions, but it was the giraffes that took my breathe away. They were truly beautiful. Continued safe and adventurous travels 😊

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Tiina!! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! We agree the giraffes were our favourite too. In fact Crusoe has learned to say “raff” we think he is saying giraffe!! 🦒🦒 Great fun!!

100%- I agree with comfort zone limits. We’re an Aussie family that packed up everything 7 years ago and moved to India. Comfort zones……wow they’ve been extended to the max. With 3 boys in tow and most of the travel done with just my boys and I……travel certainly opens your eyes and allows you to realise what a wonderful world we live in. I always say to people……take the leap.

Thanks Amanda. India! Cool! We love it there, Johns been up and down several times. We have a “kind of” plan to visit next year. Let’s see. Well done you, with your boys. 🙏

I must admit to being tummy churning teeth clenching concerned when you were going through the “puddles” Can remember if it was pelicans or flamingos you missed out on if it was pelicans pop around to Rockingham Western Australia MY pelicans flay over twice a day….we call them “my mates” they are so clumsy looking on land and the complete opposite in the air soooo graceful catching the thermals. You can’t have everything you missed out on seeing the flamingos but at least you go to see the policeman up close and personal Thanks Ingrid from WA

[@TheNewbys]

Haha thanks Ingrid! You’re lucky to have such unique big birds for company, I once met a rescued tame pelican called Big Bird at a camp called Greystoke Mahale in Tanzania and he was the most incredible character. They’re amazing birds. Thanks for being here! Xx

Your family is inspiring, I have never wanted to be somewhere where I'm not at the the top of the food chain. I guess if you stay inside the vehicle you're okay. From your promo of next week, Crusoe can't quite grab a meercat. Kind of a good thing, they can bite pretty hard. Good thing lions and elephants can't climb ladders. 🐘🦁 Follow other people's tracks... easy enough until you come upon one huge puddle. I could watch your videos for an hour.
