Thank you for your presentation. It took me back many years to 1958, when my father who was involved with the National Parks, improving their dirt roads. He sent me to join my cousin inside the Ngorongoro Crater where he had a tent camp not far from the lake. The following morning he sent me to fill the diesel 44 gallon drums in Karatu, but when I reached the top of the rim, I found that it had rained, with the road surface of red soil so slippery, that on going down a gentle slope, the vehicle slipped into the side ditch. I walked all the way back down to the caldera floor, and had to pass the seven lions I had seen earlier, resting on a small rise, obviously well fed. I remembered what the locals had said, not to run and carry on slowly. Just as well they already had their meal for the day.

Great coverage! Thank you! I am heading there in the next few weeks. What is your camera and zoom specs? How much zoom do you think one needs to get close up shots/video? I have a Nikon D850 with 28-300mm lens. Would that be adequate? Is tripod a must?
@EllaMcKendrick
@EllaMcKendrick Жыл бұрын
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I use a Panasonic GH5 camera with a Leica / Panasonic 100-400mm lens. The GH5 is a micro four thirds camera, not full frame, so that lens is the equivalent of a 200-800mm on a full frame camera. It's hard to advise on how much zoom you need. I don't think I ever zoomed the full way with my lens on this trip. The animals are very well habituated to vehicles so a lot of them are pretty close to the roads. Regarding a tripod, it's perhaps not essential for still photographs but for a video, especially if you are filming on max zoom, it's good to have. At times I did balance my camera on the side of the car and the clips were okay once I added a stabilisation effect in my editing software. I hope this helps you! I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time!

You were right in your previous video. This visit has been more incredible than the last. What a spectacular place. This reserve is actually located in a caldera (which is the bottom of a collapsed crater). I recommend that on your next visit to the Canary Islands, you go to the island of La Palma. Where you can see another volcanic caldera (La Caldera de Taburiente). It does not have so many animals, but it does have impressive vegetation and plenty of water. Congratulations for your videos. Better and better.

Hi Ella, This is absolutely magical . You've done an extremely amazing video I felt I was there. Now let me bug you about a query of mine. I was planning to go for safari in 2020 which Mr Covid didn't like. Now I am planning for next year, I am divided between a self drive in Kruger SA or this one. Since I am intending to take lots of photos and I will be carrying a bunch of camera bodies n lenses , I would really prefer to have the safari vehicle at my disposal rather than going with a group. So just want to know if you had a similar arrangement , if so , from where and how much did it cost you . Any guidance will be appreciated . Cheers

Wow, that sounds like an amazing trip you have planned! My experiences in Tanzania have all been positive. I'm guessing you'll be on a guided tour? If so they feel incredibly safe - you're with a knowledgable driver guide at all times who understands the animals, customs and roads which really makes things so much easier. Everyone I met was extremely friendly and welcoming and I encountered a few solo traveller women on my trip too who were all having a great time.

Great video with excellent commentary. Looks like you had a nice day for it too. I was there in 2008 and it was bitterly cold for our game drive. I was intrigued to see that the road leading down to the crater has been surfaced. When I was there it was a steep and rough track that was scary in places. At the picnic area most of our group had parts of their lunch stolen by the black kites and at least one person suffered a head injury from their talons. Perhaps not obvious at first but the animals of the crater are facing an uncertain future long term. Very few animals are able to enter or leave the crater so there is much inbreeding resulting in genetic problems.

Time back, some young male lions arrived from the Serengeti Park side, and chased away the old ones, so a new generation was conceived. Nature always sorts itself, as long as we do not try to interfere, as the weak ones are the first to be eaten. Before trying to remove the Maasai from this area, they should read "In the Dust of Kilimanjaro". Africa can teach us so many things, but for me the most important lesson was that of seeing the "humanity" in the original villages. They had virtually no material wealth, hence no reason for the envy that we see in our present "western" society.

You can visit at most times of year and see so much wildlife! The only times I'd personally avoid are April and May as this is the period of the long rains. September is my personal favourite month however.

What lens were you using for your safari footage?
@EllaMcKendrick
@EllaMcKendrick Жыл бұрын
I have a 100-400mm Leica / Panasonic lens for my micro four thirds Panasonic GH5 camera. Because the camera has a 2 x crop factor that's the equivalent of a 200-800mm lens for a full frame camera.

I had no idea Lions laid on their backs. That was really cool watching the little cat hunt for its prey. Do they eat bugs or rodents?

Yeah lions really do lie out just like regular cats! I guess they have no natural predators so don’t fear laying out. Servals hunt for rodents so I’d guess that was what they were going for.

That depends where you want to visit in Tanzania. You only really need to spend 1 day in Ngorongoro and I'd also recommend 1 day in Tarangire. If you'd like to visit the Serengeti as well then I'd allow at least 3 nights in the Serengeti. Hope this helps!

The oldest human skull was found around ngorongoro in a place called Olduvai Gorge. I believe this place could be the original of humanity. I believe Ngorongoro/Africa to the be motherland of the world. Visit this places you will realize and feel the reality. I am from Tanzania.

They probably would be nervous and would have to be very careful. Lions don't typically see humans as prey but you wouldn't want to take your chances there
