MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!! Hope you all enjoy our final travel video for the year - what did you all get up to for the holidays?? We will be putting together our Christmas vlog for you next week and what we have been up to - but would love to know what you have all been up to?
Well Stephen we sat back in our recliner chairs and watched the most fantastic and cinematic masterpieces of your episodes!! whilst in our small town of Noosa Australia. Happy New Year Team!! Wherever you are, be safe, take care and we will all be waiting patiently until the new year where we will be waiting for the next chapter of “Flying the Nest 2025” Be there or Be square! Take care and God Bless you bloody Legends ❤🙏😇👍🇦🇺
I have seen few travel videos and I must say yours is the best of all others travel videos. You guys must get an award for best travel and family UA-camrs. ♥️♥️♥️
Love it! It’s like watching a full-blown travel documentary or a show straight off the Travel Channel. Your channel is the ultimate destination where every video feels like an exciting journey of knowledge and discovery!
I love to witness the genuine love you share within your family, it always brings tears to my eyes as I’ve watched you over the years go from 2 to 4, you are giving your children the best possible childhood one could only dream of, and enjoy every moment with positivity! Your vibes are incredibly warm & inspiring 💛
This little series has been unreal….. loved every minute. You are such amazing parents for exposing your children to these cultures and show there are such good people around the world
This was truly EPIC! The crossing got me tearing up just watching your video,I can only imagine what it's like seeing it in person. Thanks you so much for another magical episode. It's so sweet watching Koa growing up so much these ladt few months.
This was so much fun to watch! I love how Hunter and Koa share their cup of hot chocolate , their little safari outfits are the cutest! Good job waiting so patiently to see the migration! The sign Hunter colored is super cute 🥰 🎉❤
This is incredible!! You’ve given your children the most amazing core memories of their life. You guys are the coolest parents you should be so proud. I love that I’ve seen all your journey since the beginning🤍
Been sick and then hubby got it so I’m late to see this one. WOW this was amazing, when they crossed it brought me to tears, just beautiful. Your family gives out such joy into the world, thank you! 🧡🖤🧡
Thank you for showing us around Africa especially this experience with the great migration in Serengeti. Hope you have had a great Xmas where ever you all were.
Binging and loving this Tanzania series. I’ve been once before in my twenties and now 10 years later looking forward to going again with kids next time 🥰
I’m in my art studio allowing my thoughts to roam and thought about your travels and why I wouldn’t miss an episode. Simply, I love the way you parent your children! It’s a model for how we can talk to each other. Laughs, learning, listening, waiting for the person to speak, respect, tolerance, joy in the other, appreciation of nature - all this and more. Happy New Year!!
Amazing series, what a great year! Looking forward to seeing what 2025 brings for you guys . Also Steve definitely sounds a bit more south African in these videos!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! That was a magical, beautiful time in Tanzania!! This series was absolutely amazing to see. My heart is just pounding with excitement! I m so thankful for your videos. I really enjoy watching them. This series was breathtaking! I’m sorry I know I said that already. That was incredible. Lots of love, 💖 see you next year
Fantastic vlog. One of your best, which says a lot! I did this exact trip back in 2005. We started at the Masai Mara in Kenya and followed the migration on a hot air balloon. The most incredible experience of my life. Our tour continued into Tanzania at the Serengeti. I did feel nervous about the lack of fences at our accommodation though. Kudos to you for not being nervous, especially with 2 kids! This Africa series is the grandest scale you guys have ever done! ❤🦁
Thank you so much for your kind words! It sounds like you had an amazing experience back in 2005. The Great Migration is truly something special, and we’re thrilled to share it with everyone!!! wow seeing it in a hot air balloon would've been SO magical!
Hi guys! Hope you had a very merry Christmas and your New Year’s going to be one of the best yet. I always look so forward to your videos. They make me so happy because you guys are so happy and smiling. You have two of the most beautiful kids on UA-cam. I love watching them grow and see how much they are learning from your adventures. Wishing you all the best in the new year I’m looking forward to all of your adventures. Lots of love from Arizona your friend Tracy.❤❤❤❤😊🎉🎉
@ thank you so much for always responding. That is so kind of you to take your time to do this. Not to be too forward, but sending lots of love that you might give us a third child! Lol! 💝😘🙏
WOW!! I am not sure I would not freak out being that close to lions, elephants I would love lions umm lol. Hunter and Koa are so cute during your safari ride!! That tent in the middle of the Serengeti I am in!! I would love to do this trip in a heart beat bad back and all!! Hunter and EPIC cracks me up!! Hunter Jones now that is a movie I would see on the big screen. I want Hunter to be my tour guide on in the Serengeti haha (like the Jungle ride in Disney Land). That sign was a great idea!!
@@flyingthenest Christmas was fantastic! We had lots of family and friends to be with before we go overseas again for New Years! We leave for Tokyo early in the morning tomorrow and we're excited! 😁
Wauw fantastisch video your Series n Tanzania just an Eye opening seeing all the wild life Seeing it through Hunter and Baby Koa. Just so special ❤. To be able to see those Elephants, zebras etc so close up is a Dream come true . Merry Christmas hope you had a wonderful day 😜. Wishing you all the very Best for 2025 🍾🥂 looking forward to hearing what your plans / Adventures are . Safe travels 🥰
Hi Stephen, Jess, Hunter and Kia, wow! What an experience for you all! Just incredible to watch on video, but in person you’d get the full vibes of sound and tension building until the animals cross over. Hunter, ‘your grass is greener’ sign worked and what a beautifully coloured sign it was too. Weren’t you nervous sleeping at night, or was there some sort of security? I would have been terrified. Happy New Year to you all! ❤
aww thanks for the lovely comment Vanessa! honestly it was such an incredible moment leading up to it and hten when it happened the adrenaline was pumping!!
Great video! Serengeti is my favourite park in Africa! We had lions and buffalo outside our tent and a jackal in the washroom! Also, I thought Hells Gate National Park in Kenya is where they got the inspiration for the Lion King? Could be wrong..keep up the great vlogs!
The puzzle piece was Tunisia, which I thought you would be all over Steve, considering you are the Star wars nut! It was where they filmed Luke's home planet shots. You can actually do Star wars tours there to the locations that were used in the film. Now you know😊
@flyingthenest happy New years, guys. Hope 2025 is full of adventure, creating beautiful memories with your gorgeous family. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride. Stay safe and healthy. XO

Absolutely. I always go back to their videos, even after Rick Steves. It feels more joyful and makes every place come alive.

word of the day!
@ and she used it well.
The puzzle piece was Tunisia, which I thought you would be all over Steve, considering you are the Star wars nut! It was where they filmed Luke's home planet shots.
You can actually do Star wars tours there to the locations that were used in the film.
Now you know😊
hahaha i know right need to head there one day!
@flyingthenest happy New years, guys.
Hope 2025 is full of adventure, creating beautiful memories with your gorgeous family.
Thanks for taking us all along for the ride.
Stay safe and healthy. XO
