  • Byron takes you on a self-drive safari to Malelane Satellite Camp in Kruger National Park, South Africa. This is one of the top areas when it comes to wildlife viewing in Africa, with lions, leopards, wild dogs, hyena cubs, rhino, birds of prey and all the other favourite wildlife providing excellent sightings. Kruger saved the best for last with lions hunting warthogs!
    Thank you for watching.

    What a brilliant episode! Your cinematography and mix of music and natural sounds is top notch. You really showed what makes this SW corner of Kruger so special….great predator sightings, rhino, loads of Ellie’s, the hyena den just south of Afsaal, beautiful scenery, Biyamiti Weir, and Afsaal picnic spot…..what more could you ask for.

    New to your channel….Found you through your Marakele video…
    Really enjoying the videos…Man, that looks like a Side striped Jackal….wow…bucket list sighting….you are 100% correct…screw the apps and sightings boards….it is all about ‘intersections’ , that anxiety of “did we go the right way?” Is all part of it….
    Sometimes sitting and waiting is the best….
    Being car no 74 on a lion sighting is of no interest to us…rather be alone watching the ground squirrels fighting…or getting to see the SSJ or a martial being dive bombed…..
    Some days you come back having seen “nothing” and exhausted….but realise there is no bad day in a park…as you light the fire and the night noises start
    Thanks a stack…

      Welcome to the channel! Thanks so much. we definitely think in a similar way by the sounds of things… I actually happen to be in Marakele again right now and sightings have been a real struggle so far, so thanks for the timely reminder that there is no such thing as a bad day in the bush👌🏼

    What a great video. So glad I subscribed to your channel. You are incredibly blessed to capture the ground hornbills calling out - that for me is the most peaceful calling in the bush.
    Unfortunately all of the meat in the park is shady, I caught travelers bug from the parks butchery meat in Punda and was bed ridden for a week. I stock up at The Good Meat & Deli in Parkmore, JHB. They're amazing and cut my meat especially for traveling. They also individually vacuum seal everything according to your storage. If you don't have a fridge freezer for the Fortuner, the Coleman 5 day cooler box works perfectly for vacuum sealed meat. It's about R1500, but you're welcome to borrow mine to test it out before buying one. Worked for me on a one week stay at Maroela before I got my National Luna Fridge/Freezer.
    Looking forward to more videos!

    • @WildWildJourneys
      @WildWildJourneys  8 місяців тому

      Thanks so much, Mallo. I was so lucky with birds in general on this trip! I definitely think I’ll be stocking up with meat on future trips and I’ll have a look at that cooler. Thanks for the suggestions, hoping to slowly build up to having something in the fortuner along with a rooftop tent etc one day… thanks for subscribing and watching, I really appreciate it!

    I loved your insight in to the sightings apps, there is nothing worse than seeing you just missed a big cat sighting so definitely going to give your advise a go even though I have been told this many times before😂
