SAFARI OF A LIFETIME in Serengeti National Park, Green Season

[@rugsack2005]

You got to see the birth of an elephant??? Priceless!!! Love green season in Africa.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

I know!! So incredibly lucky! I had tears in my eyes filming 🥹

[@JC-vz9vn]

The shot of the leopard 12:12 was simply amazing. Thank you for sharing, Roxy.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Ah thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it ✨

[@RoadsThatWeCraveFor]

This is pure serenity. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciated the beauty of the scene, the quality of the footage, the interesting wildlife captured, and the peaceful atmosphere conveyed in your voiceover. Keep up the good work.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Ah thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed watching

[@JadeLivao]

Absolutely mesmerizing! The green season at Lamai Camp is a photographer's dream, and the wildlife moments captured here-playful cubs, a thrilling leopard sighting, and a newborn elephant-are simply unforgettable. Nature at its finest!

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed watching!

[@DibyenduSaha-fi9rs]

Beautifully shot. Backdrops are brilliant, and so is the sunset.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!

[@joncothranphotography9375]

This is truly the stuff that "My" dreams are made of! Thanks so much, Roxy!

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Ah thanks for watching - was an incredibly lucky trip for sure.

[@ericganz4432]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience. It brings back fond memories of my time in Kenya and Tanzania as well…

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Glad you enjoyed it 😁🐘

[@Schnupp911]

Amazing work as always Roxy love your channel

[@TheMadtandemer]

Fantastic film Roxy, your work is truly stunning.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thank you so much! 😁

[@vlastimilvajnorak6024]

Hi, I have three questions for you... Did you always take low-angle shots from the car, or were you able to get out of the car and shoot from a standing position? The second question is about using a tripod-did you ever feel the need to use one? And the third question concerns distance. Could you specify the closest distance you were able to approach, for example, lions or other animals? Thank you very much!

[@RoxytheZoologist]

On this trip we were always in the vehicle, so always shooting out the car. No, there’s no space for a tripod in this jeep. Distance depends on many things - the species, if they have young with them, the individual behaviour and how relaxed they are, if they are hunting or resting, there are many factors that come into play, it’s not a one rule for all. But in all instances, you park with enough space for them to continue with their behaviour as normal, and they can choose to come closer if they wish, but not the other way round

[@vlastimilvajnorak6024]

@@RoxytheZoologist Thank you very much for your reply. You know, I will be visiting Maasai Mara for the first time in February and March in 2025 and I am also planning to go to Tanzania in June, so I was curious about your experiences. I can't wait to be there. By the way I follow you on Instagram. I keep my fingers crossed for you and wish you the best on your wildlife trips!

[@Amarrebhai]

Questions I had in mind, I went on a tiger and leopard safari recently and almost thought about getting out of the jeep to get good shots from a lower angle, but it was a good idea I was denied😂

[@bethaneydunne9682]

Amazing video Roxy love The big cats your amazing 100% support you 😊😊😊 need to go my mums from south Africa

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thank you so much :) you definitely should visit South Africa and explore some of the amazing parks there!

[@nomad-tanzania]

We are so pleased your trip was everything you wished for and more. Such a great video, well done from the team at Nomad.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thanks so much for having me - I had such a wonderful time with everyone at Nomad :)

[@GeorgeVlad]

Lovely shots! Nothing like the Serengeti/Mara in the emerald season.

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Such a lovely time to visit isn’t it - I always love being there at quiet times

[@GeorgeVlad]

@@RoxytheZoologist yes indeed, so you can hear the sounds of the bush and not distant Land Rovers.

[@WolfgangJosefFehringer]

Very, very good, thank you

[@JeffreyHauser]

Nicely done! A beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing your beautiful images with the YT community. Best wishes & safe travels.😊

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind comment 😁

[@Emily-ln3zv]

Beautiful work, what a special place you've captured so well 🤩

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thanks a lot 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed it ✨

[@Schnupp911]

Could you post a link to the monitor screen you are using on top of your SLR love that set up

[@melanieweeda4238]

Hey Roxy, I am new to your channel, but already hooked! Perhaps I am overlooking it, but I am wondering if you have a list of which gear you use? Especially interested in what you use to vlog these adventures, as I am usually not in my own videos, but I want to change that before I return to Namibia and Botswana later in 2025

[@alisonandguywildlifephotograph]

Fabulous video again…… that baby elephant ❤… nomad is a fantastic safari group

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thank you - ah I know, was a beyond magical sighting that one! Yes, Nomad are amazing :)

[@Viajeroschicharreros]

Otro bonito vídeo, ¡como de costumbre! He tenido la fortuna de visitar tres veces el África oriental en la época de lluvia "o verde como tú la llamas", y como muy bien dices, es distinto a lo que solemos ver, pero incluso el paisaje, y los fondos de las fotografías son hermosos. Es cierto que también hay menos gente y coches agrupados en torno a los animales, pero que no se confunda nadie, hay que tener en cuenta que la climatología puede jugar una mala pasada en cuanto a poder moverte por la zona, y también la menor presencia de animales que se refugian del mal tiempo... Lo dicho, muchas felicidades por tu trabajo, ¡me encanta! Y Gracias por compartir. 😀

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thanks for your message :) I always find that driving through the mud is part of the fun and adventure of the trip! If you can’t reach an area, I just accept it as part of nature and look for somewhere else, there’s always something cool to see outdoors

[@aitorzm]

Wow, the quality of your videos just keeps going up and up and up :-) I love it all! As a bird watcher, I really like this 14'16" couple, they remind me of the Egyptian vultures that come to my area to breed during the summer. Thanks for sharing :-)

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying watching :) those birds you mentioned are southern ground hornbill - an adult with a juvenile

[@mrdmahesh]

Nice skyscapes, you had really great sightings and the tattoo "Ahimsa"! written in "Devnagari" script. I come that country :) felt nice to see that 😃

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Thanks so much! Yes! Ahimsa, non-harming, me and my mum have matching ones on our wrist:)

[@RoxytheZoologist]

I have a video on my channel about my camera set up :)

[@jojobutingan6513]

Congrats on your successful trip. My wife and I are planning to visit the area in June 2025, and I'm a hobbyist photographer. My dream to visit and do some photography. My question is if I should bring my 600 mm lens (which is quite heavy). Will the 70-200 mm be enough?

[@WildstepIndia]

which camera and lens used for filming and photography yo both used ? great to see the work. keep going..

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Hey! I have a video on my page talking about my full camera set up 😁🎥

Hello Roxy. Can you disclose the price tag for this safari adventure? And what is the name of the tour company? That driver looks familiar in other vlogs. Please and thank you 🙏

@RoxytheZoologist cool👌

[@AnujRawlaVRRT]

Ahinsa is a Sanskrit word that means "non-injury" or "compassion" and is a key principle in Indian religions, including Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism. It is the practice of causing the least amount of harm to all living beings. Ahimsa is a central tenet of Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy and is considered a powerful force for social change. It is also aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 16, which aims to create peaceful, just, and inclusive societies. 🙏

[@RoxytheZoologist]

Yes, aligns with how I live my life as a vegan ✨🌱

[@twolanetravels]

What a beautiful safari! We just went to Botswana on safari. You have convinced me the Serengeti next! ❤. My Botswana video is on my channel.
