S1 - Ep 437 - Lower Sabie Rest Camp!

[@barbaraholzmann946]

You guys made this lady cry. I am sitting here in British Columbia, Canada on a cold overcast and snowy day longing for my homeland. You brought back many childhood memories of the Lower Sabie section of the Kruger Park. What amazing luck you had during your time there, spotting all of the big five! I have been following you for sometime now and you really fill my heart when I am homesick. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

[@neilblunt1926]

Then come back and enjoy it.

[@laliedutoit]

Thanks!

[@DustBugsTravel]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you for being so generous. 🚙😊

[@terrimeyer3815]

Sho....snorkeling elephants, just loved that. So much going on in this video from baboons, birds and everything possible to a snail. But the highlight for me was the leopards measuring the road right infront of your car...It is wild you guys......just wild Shops are well stocked and the places seem very clean. Now I also want pap and wors...yum

[@MrHammerkop]

In three words ... _God's Own Country._ Your videos have done more than the usual tourist board productions in promoting South Africa as a travel destination. Among those who know, and need no persuading, are the many, many South Africans who now live elsewhere - your videos wrench at our hearts, but in that special way for which we say thank you. You keep the flame alive.

[@Ryangiggs1118]

Love the nature of SA. All the best and stay safe all the time! thank you for the video!

[@kong-ky1sf]

Always a pleasure watching this wonderful couple enjoying another adventurous trip in the bushveld of South Africa.

[@thewanderer58]

Awesome! Lower Sabie Rest Camp has always been one of my favourite camps in the KNP but, because of it's popularity, it is usually difficult to secure a reservation there any time of the year. I look forward to the posting of your onward journey ..... 😊

[@flodillon991]

Awesome I just loved the baboons all in the road. The leopards were very special. Thank you

[@laliedutoit]

Great Video, I Especially loved the Sun "Set and Rise" Dam and the Leopard. 😄🍷Thanks a Mill🙏

[@beryl9538]

Wow some elephants are huge. Love the animals.❤

[@neilblunt1926]

No words are necessary to describe Sunset Dam. Spent many hours there being entertained by the late afternoon baboon troop.

[@brianblyth9790]

Can't wait for the next episode

[@vimilchar]

We love you two. ❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗

[@neilblunt1926]

And I am one of those many thousands who has spent many wonderful hours at Kumana. I've seen it bone dry to double the amount of water you saw. Brings tears to my eyes.

[@maureenrule8244]

Amazing adventure. So excited. Our trip is booked.

[@1812nico]

Hi you two! What an amazing trip again! I loved the shot of the elephants bathing with only their "noses" sticking out to breathe. The leopards were also a beautiful sight to see so up close. The krummel pap made up my mind what to have for breakfast tomorrow morning. Thank you for enduring the heat to treat us with these wonderful views of nature. Keep safe!

[@annawitter5161]

I am sure there is an African story of the origin of the holes in the elephants ears. I will research that one. I always loved the Geraldine Elliot stories "The Long grass whispers", and "Where the Leopard passes" which are ancient African stories. Mostly relating to Chinyanja, the language of Nyasaland, which became Malawi (well, sort of!) Interesting enough is the similarity of this language to isiZulu and isiXhosa. So must be of the same origin. Watching the animals makes me think of the animal characters in the stories. Thank you. I think this my favourite episode from our Kruger park tour

[@guillaumedeswardt6876]

Lucky you seeing so many leopards!!!

[@claudettehancocks1715]

Love these videos on the Kruger. Was very disappointed last night that you didn't post.😂 I look forward to seeing a new episode every evening. Thank you so much!

[@revinot]

Wonderful footage, thank you for sharing

[@mariusroos]

What an pleasant trip. Thank you well done. We saw quite a lot in this trip like vegetation and animals. Kruger rocks. I will be on the next trip for sure. See ya

[@charlietreston4035]

Hi guys another amazing video so many things to see you can wait and wait for a leopard and then two come along love the story of the guy with the slingshot and the monkeys lol .the views from the look out stunning.Pap n wors with Lion larger my mouth was watering the sudden rain storm so real and your fire kept going brilliant!!! The bridge swept away by flooding crazy totally enjoying these videos. The sign saying about offenders will be prosecuted reminds me of a sign on a farm gate ( trespassers will be violently assaulted survivers will be prosecuted) lol thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one

[@frederikbrits9559]

Allways great the luiperd

[@tillabezuidenhout6460]

Such fun!!!!

[@thebuffalooverlander]

Great series and can’t wait to get back to Kruger end of this month . Thanks for sharing

[@funkdunk]

Firstly congratulations on reaching your 24k subscriber milestone 👏 Your footage has been incredible, especially of the Leopold and of course all the other animals. The KNP shops of the 80s /90s era used to be an affordable experience, today the shop's merchandise seems more geared for international tourists than locals, though the merchandise that is on offer really looks good, especially that Lion Shirt. Nothing better than drinking Lion in the Kruger Park 😊 That tented safari camp really looks great as does the Mugg n Bean restaurant overlooking the river. Although the communal setup also makes for meeting new people and enjoying my favourite "pap en wors / vleis" with that sauce ...your "kannie dood" fire 🔥 was nothing short of a miracle or the magic of your channel.

[@maricharlesscheepers3924]

Wow, how lucky you guys are, to see a leapord 😊

[@gollygosh40]

top class!

[@MK-gn1nz]

That view! Not one pesky human in sight 😅

[@neilblunt1926]

The view from Nkumbe westwards towards Skukuza is brilliant. In my opinion the best in Kruger. I want my ashes scattered at that viewpoint.

[@eddiesmith6132]

Lower sabie was the best holiday I have ever had.

[@neilblunt1926]

Your first viewpoint with the Kudu was looking eastwards towards Mozambique. Magnificent but the best was still to come.

[@rosemarymoolman6765]

Wow, you were so lucky with your leopard sightings. They were beautiful. Lower Sabie is a lovely camp.

[@dawnbarnes1361]

OMW what a fantastic trip, awesome animal sitings! Those Baboons were so funny they really looked like gangsters🤣 And we have a Super Braai Master not even the rain could put out his fire😅😅😅 Thanks guys!! ❤

[@maricharlesscheepers3924]

And lions too ❤

[@doktorgebhard1587]

Pierwszy komentarz 😃😃😃😃

[@etiennebeukes9384]

The Baobab is down the closed road. The road does cross the river and rains could have caused the park to close the road. The road ends at the Baobab. It is huge.

[@beryl9538]

I always get nervous when the vehicle is switched off and I hear Curtis starting it when an animal is getting close. Please take care. Thanks for the footage.

[@sicko_the_ew]

I think you might've missed a nice close leopard sighting on foot the picnic spot. It's a pity you didn't pick up the dropping to feel if it was warm - although I suppose that might've spoiled the visit a bit. :D

[@joh5073]

Absolutely loving your videos, just noting there aren't as many baboons and cheetahs around?

[@DustBugsTravel]

You're correct. We definitely saw less baboons than on previous visits, I'm not quite sure what the reason for that could be. 🤷🏻‍♂️🐒 As for cheetah, we saw them on almost every single Sightings Board, but that was the closest we came. They somehow eluded us. 😞🐆

[@lindawebster5336]

Love love ur videos. Have just started watching. U give so much detail. I used to live near the Kruger and unfortunately had to move away. I miss it Sooo much. Keep up the good work.

[@neilblunt1926]

There is often a big pride of lions around Maziti. Also seen + - 1000 buffalo come through to drink there. I'm surprised at how low the water level was.

[@timoouwehand6178]

You missed the Boabab tree .... check it out at 7.02? Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!

[@DustBugsTravel]

Nope, I checked and checked, but there is definitely no baobab that we can see. 🤷🏻‍♂️🌳

[@memoryzwane5796]

I discovered this channel today and guess what I have watched more than 5 episodes

[@DustBugsTravel]

Welcome! 🙋🏻‍♂️ I'm glad you enjoy our videos. There are plenty more for you to enjoy! 🚙😁

[@memoryzwane5796]

I enjoy them a lot thank you very much

[@francoispieterse7371]

Whiteback vulture and if i remember correctly the Baobab died.

[@lynettewilleston1812]

Busy Lower Sabie, hey!! What time of the year were you guys in the park, guys?

[@DustBugsTravel]

We arrived in Lower Sabie on Friday, 8 December 2023. The date is always indicated in the intro at the beginning of each video. 🚙😁 The camp was quite busy, but then again I think it is most of the time.

[@lynettewilleston1812]

I was asking because we thought the tired rd between Skukuza and LS had been repaired already. I'm surprised to see it still down. Enjoying your explicit details. Where dis you buy that (what looked like absolutely delicious boerie) you ate at LS?

[@DustBugsTravel]

It was indeed delicious! 😁 We bought it at The Park's Shop in Lower Sabie.

[@claudettehancocks1715]

Did you find out what happened to the baobab?

[@DustBugsTravel]

Nope. We asked around at Tshokwane and at Lower Sabie, but no-one we spoke to could give us a definite answer. I think it's most probably along the stretch of gravel road that was closed at the time of our visit, but I'm really not sure. 🤷🏻‍♂️🌳

[@claudettehancocks1715]

Just loving these Kruger videos. Our go to after supper 😂

[@bobbonani]

Hi guys just watched this episode on my wife KZbin via smart TV.... Did you guys do this journey on a Renault kwid.

[@DustBugsTravel]

We did indeed! 🚙😁

[@maricharlesscheepers3924]

Female leopards also mark their territories territories

[@tillabezuidenhout6460]

I don't expect you to answer my comments. I just make them.
