Awesome! It was always a bucket list item for me but unfortunately I’ve left it too late and can no longer physically undertake such a trip so I am enjoying this vicariously through you! If you ever want to put out a compilation of the best of Africa from your videos, that would be awesome! In fact that might be an idea for each continent!! A project for when you return home!😂

In 1986, I had the good fortune to go on a safari tour around Kenya. It was a wonderful experience and one I'll never forget. Seeing all those animals in their natural environment is a real thrill. There is nothing like sitting on the veranda of a game lodge, having a cold beverage, and just watching a variety of animals do their own thing in the distance. Again thanks for sharing your adventures.

My husband and I love south Africa and visited addo and many other parks. The "garden route" drive is fabulous, the northern route is diverse and varied, Giants Castle area, epupa falls is amazing. All these locations are easy to drive to, easy to find lodging and many private parks are available. If you go to Kruger, go to the private concessions, - the main tarred park is great if you want to share your sighting with 30 other vehicles and the traffic jams that go with it. As retired nomads we have spent a great deal of time in Africa, Botswana is fabulous and expensive, Namibia is inexpensive, not crowded, and truly magnificent. Kenya is good, safety should be considered, Tanzania is vast and magnificent. Loved your series. I lived in Angola for a year, you were very very lucky, we lived a mile from work and it could take 20 minutes to 4 hours.....safety was a major concern there. I lived in Ghana, it's a shame you only had 1 day. Anyways, great to see you exploring so much, enjoy your new adventures.

We were in Addo in February! Also did a game drive. I so agree about the type of vehicle. We had the open air vehicle you had on your second experience. At Addo we saw huge buses with 50 people trying to see the wildlife. I was very glad I did not choose that option!

I live near Addo and this video was recommended to me! Really glad you got to stop by this park, I go at least once a year. It's funny that you should mention how large the Addo elephants are. They are actually smaller than the average African elephant. And the females here have no tusks. The reason why the elephants are brown is purely because of their mud baths and the calves are born grey. We did have a record breaking bull elephant quite a long time ago, Hapoor ("Bit Ear"), whose death cast you might have seen if you went to the base camp's educational centre. Tour guides used to out the car in reverse the moment they saw him. We often come across a hostile male elephant in the bush corridor after Spekboom. It's a long straight road where the elephants can't really move off easily, so when a male in musth is in the road, he will often get tunnel vision, wag his ears and start trotting in our direction. And we have to reverse allllll the way.

I did a 3-day safari in Kruger National Park in South Africa. The only of the big 5 I missed was a lion which was sad because I love big cats. The driver on my last day knew that was the only one I hadn’t seen and tried really hard to find one but no luck. I did gain a huge appreciation for elephants though!
