What a a gentleman a conservationist. I am deeply honoured to have met this giant in Conservation. My family is wel steeped in Conservation with my father, the late JohnMartens whom led the charge against sand mining in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park then the St. Lucia area, and a brother whom has led a global lifelong career in nature Conservation nd currently MD of Cape Fynbos Conservation Trust. So proud of this man and his achievements in Conservation in Eswathini. Bayete! Ted Reilly, siyabonga!!!!!

Beautiful nature! Cameraman and video editor have made great job 👍 Hello from Kazakhstan 👋

I love the video. King Sobhuza II and Ted Rieley did an amazing job. IT's rooted in the Swazi way of life. Life is not complete in this country without the wildlif which is intricately linked to clans that make up emaSwati. Most are totems... without them there are no emaSwati.

We camped in that exact spot in Mlilwane a few weeks ago 🤣🤣 Did the Scaly Feathered Honeyguide call all day from the tree above?

Excellent video Dirk! I always enjoy the Ironvan Adventures...Great videography and job on capturing the various elements and sitings. I will definitely add this trip to my log and visit soon! You've inspired us! 🙂

I am definitely disappointed on the short trip of the beautiful country, yet happy to see the Kingdom Land of eSwatini. Mate where do you get the music playlist? If you allowed to add the playlist on the description, please do.

Awesome Dirk. Great excuse to avoid me and in all honesty far better 😂😂😂😂 I’ve only traveled through Swaziland but it looks like I need to visit there more too. Amazing. Thank you for sharing

[@gcinamaseko5652]

Dude!!!! Thank you this is exactly what I needed 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@waynemushyz3927]

Lekker man 👍😅

[@neilarmitage6632]

My adopted country. Not by design but more by accident 😊

[@neilarmitage6632]

Where is your new shop ?

[@garagepie]

We were there with my family a few weeks ago. The camps and parks are pretty quiet. It's amazing how people will flock in their thousands to Kruger and camp with 100's of people and Eswatini there's almost no one. Many of the 4x4 guys in SA seem to like driving on the tar roads 😏🤣

[@Deontjie]

Because every now-and-then locals in Lesotho and Swaziland decides to stone tourist's cars.

[@martincordner9611]

All your trips you guys do do you need to have a 4x4 or can you use a Toyota 4x2 diff lock

[@valdolandman5297]

Dirk jy moet asb meer videos doen. 1 per week....asb😂

[@unconventionallifestyle4827]

Why spoil the natural wildlife sounds, with recorded music ?

[@lionridds]

I think the idea is that we go and experience the sounds for ourselves...It's a vlog...For that reason 😂

[@suzonsafari1094]

Dirk jy stel nooit teleur nie!!

[@benardobonyo7418]

Thank you for the video, but stop glorifying the white man too much. Africans have lived in Africa for a while and taken care of their wildlife, both flora & fauna. It didn’t take one white man to conserve all that. Respect Africa and Africans in general please

[@lionridds]

I think you missed the point in and of the video...Just saying.

[@benardobonyo7418]

@@lionridds you should stop thinking, not good for humanity or your health, #myopic.
