    Another great video Sam. When the time comes - and with your permission - I will contact you so as to learn what to do to travel to that part of the world and experience Africa. I would say within the next 5 years I will make my way there. I read in one of your comments you offered to assist someone if they needed it and I hope I'm not being presumptuous. Keep the videos coming.

  • @petermosherthepoet

    It seemed around the 5:30 mark of the video, the animals got spooked coming up that channel next to where your cameras are. Before that they were coming up in droves. Are the animals afraid of people and the vehicles they ride in? BTW Fantastic video, I long for the day I, too, can watch that migration across the Mara river. The sights and smells and sounds must just be other worldly when you're right there watching it. Thanks for sharing.

    • @samhankss
      @samhankss Рік тому

      Hi Peter, sorry for the late reply! So the wildebeest are quite cautious animals but in truth they just follow one another... so if one just happens to decide to go another way, quite often the others will follow. Animals generally will choose the path of least resistance which will depend on the individual. I hope you get to witness it one day too, it's a sighting beyond belief!

    Hello Sam, Sorry I am not a English speaking person so sorry if my question is not very clear , frist ...Super pics I must say I love you B-W versions .I will be in Amboseli in 10 days and I was wondering how they allowed you to get out the jeep , I have been there before and there was no way the driver let me out what was very frustatin . Did you had to be giving permission by the park authorities or where You just lucky with you driver ? Luc , Ps; I am using my wife account

    • @samhankss
      @samhankss 2 роки тому

      Hi Luc, thank you so much for your kind words. We were in a private concession, which adjoins the park, so not in the National Park itself where you are not allowed to alight from the vehicle. I worked with an amazing guide which of course makes things much easier. , but if you are not in the vehicles that are allowed into the concessions, then you are unlikely to be able to get out of the car. I stayed at Tortilis Camp which has its own private areas. Hope this helps.

      Thank you Sandra. They eat most vegetation. As it was the end of the dry season, sources were limited, however there are forested and swamp areas that provide a good bulk of their food during the drier months.

      So they are youngsters looking for their mother's. Unfortunately when you have thousands of animals stampeding, many young ones get disorientated and lose sight of their parent. In the chaos and confusion they have stuck together and decided to go back to try and find their mums.
