Thanks so much for all the amazing work you do with your videos, Ed! I am always watching and enjoying from Switzerland. Would like to say thanks and support you a bit due to all the issues you had. Looking forward to Mapungubwe, was there in 2017 😎
Hi Vanessa! Wow thank you so so much for the contribution 🙏🙏🙏 it makes a huge difference and means a lot. Thank you for always watching 🇨🇭
I always use a Teflon sheet on my skottel braai. It doesn't make the skottel dirty and you wipe the Teflon sheet clean with two wipes.. so quickly and easy
@Edward Bath best UA-cam content creator ever. big up mate!!
We are a couple in our 70`s in Western Australia and would like to say Thank you so much to yourself, Ryan and Christoff for all the awesome videos you share with us. We appreciate everyone of them and have to say we have binge watched them all! We await in anticipation for the next one to come. We have to say awesome awesome awesome love them all. Take care and God bless you all.
Thank you so much! 🙏
Hi Ed, watching your second video after storm river. Hats off to your skill of involving us with your adventures is unreal. Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Ed. Once again you take us along on your trip in such a way it makes us want to be there with you. You, Ryan and Christoff are the class of the field as far as genuine from the heart (not contrived) video tours of Southern Africa are concerned. Privileged to be a Patron.
I agree, keep the bloody noise down. Worst is when yobbos crank up their music, REALLY!!!Why???!!! The bush creates its own amazing symphony. Love the Kruger. Great Video, you transported me back there for 60mins. I live in Oz now, but last year travelled to North of Kruger. My fav thing to do when I'm in SA, Kruger...and Pilansberg.
i think this is one of the best videos yet, i love when you get really personal into the area and the animals showing everything even getting the firewood. Makes me really miss that area, i cant wait to visit kruger/ Mokopane and the area again, still my favorite area in the world.
We were at Tsendze at the same time as you and Ryan 💪
Thanks for another lekker 👏🏻 👏🏻 episode Edward ~ bringing Kruger to us on yt and especially the northern parts I Love ~ next time have a dip in the swimming pool IN shingwedzy its a MUST at sunset. Can't wait for the next episode to drop ~ Take care
HI there great trip and vidio,strapped wood on a roof rack always tend to shake lose back in the day I used a small cargo nett strapped down over all the goods on top.It also provide good secureti when you are not at the car.It worked well .
8ta Ed is Frans in Phalaborwa here I am a very big fan bra like to say the video I love most watching from my you tube downloaded is the one u make with Ryan the one u slept at Tsendzi latest one I can't stop get enough of it last but not list u are the one u made me and my family to love land cruiser 200 series ❤cheers kip well and wish u can make more videos and b Blessed 🙌
Hi Ed. You won't believe how happy am I to know you are back. There is nothing as relaxing as your adventures. Thank you so much
Yes Ed! Can’t wait to watch it!
Very nice! Got a good spot eh?! Epic!
Hi Ed. Absolutely love your vids. I meant to ask you if you will maybe consider doing a live where you explain to us what routes you took and so on just to guide us that is only starting out now and planning a trip locally? Costs and so on. Like to hear from you and keep up the awesome content 🎉
I'm glad all went well with your vehicles (100 & 200 series) . . . super excited for you & the team bud!
I can't wait for "Welcome to Sena Matela" intro from our other friend @4x4ventures . Been following since 2021.
Watching from West Australia, home of the Pilbara and the Kimberleys, and I am........insanely jealous. Such a brilliant video. Thank you.
It was great spotting you at N1 South today.
And thank you for taking your time to greet back and chats at toll gate.
My day made.
I can’t wait for your next upload 🙏🏾
Just loving sharing this with you guys... (with your "Boet" - Eish, here in the UK, I miss hearing that!).
And that fry up at Tzendze? Man, my mouth was watering!
Just brilliant!
Awesome video as always. We are very happy to hear your vehicles are all good again.
Glad the car is back on the road
As always amaizing thank you for sharing your journey with us love it
Eish Ed, brilliant as usual. Amongst all the amazing bird and bush sounds, the sound of LVF is always one of my faves. Thanks again for am amazing trip.
Great video, Ed!! Keep it up mate 🤙🏻
Thanks Legend!!
Epic mate keep them coming! Glad the cars are sorted!
scope owl thinking - look at those tasty steaks, lamb chops, beers ..... oooooh all I had for dinner was a dry cricket ...... another good video tickety tick
My envy is as green as the Kruger for this one! Cheers for sharing all your travels. Go well gents 🍻
You and the bearded monsters get better each episode ! your editing and music are top class and put you at the top of the UA-cam nature adventures. also love the way you are bringing in more and more of the camp life / tec / anecdotes so we follow the trip in its entirety and its ups and downs. always look forward to your and Ryan's episodes and the enthusiasm you display. You guys have become family as im sure to many fans and thats no mean thing..... pity about the noisy neighbors you had as they can destroy camp life so easily and i have to say that Bush etiquette has dropped dramatically over the last 10 years ............... keep it up 👌
Thank you Fergus!
Thank you for your awesome sharing of another wonderful trip. Love that you focused on the early morning bird sounds. So miss that and it did my heart good!
So glad you are back , you are such an inspiration to get out there and explore and enjoy the outdoor life. Your videos are amazing. So happy to see the 200 again, amazing vehicle .
Thank you for an exceptional episode
I grew up on the border and you touch a very soft spot in my soul
I grew up with the camp being called Punda Milia meaning striped donkey but the person who established it wife was Maria so therefore the name change. Thank you so much
Another great video Edward. I like the music mix.
Off subject. Just finish my 2nd 3 week tour flying on the wildfires here in Canada. I had the privilege of flying some men and women of South Africa, who came all this way to help in an unprecedented fire season. They have been working hard, their presence has not been taken for granted and very much appreciated. Thank you South Africa🇿🇦
Stunning views!!!!❤
Thank you so much !!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
We have been waiting for your next journey 😃
All the way from here up north you have some fans
So amazing to see so many zebras
2 x fridge/freezers and a trailer on such a big vehicle for 1 person on a short trip. Ed i think you should get a RV and be done with it 😅
Great video, nice to see all the beautiful bird and animal shots! Some of your best yet!
Great work together guy's excellent netjies!!!!!!!
I'm so happy for you being on road again!! Fantastic😅❤
Wow that one scene for a minute looked like Tanzania with mountains in the background where the Ostrich made it's appearance.
Hey Ed, Ryan, this episode is again incredibly well made. Lovely personal insights, the videography & editing really top notch. Ed, I really like that short bit on the first morning, with your face actually showing your joy at being there, and your soft tone &voice reflecting respect and awe at the African bush. Oh how I'd love to travel with you guys, sharing the bird sounds & sightings, as well as all the other animals. Thanks for sharing, for the effort of putting it all together in this way. Greetings from Germany, cheers brothers!
Thank you legend!!
Ed good to see the 100 is still going... really liked this episode not sure why seemed a bit different to normal more POV... and well when Ryan got all emotional about his tent that was real moment too... cheers bru
Wow EB I could smell that breakfast! We're loving seeing all the sights & sounds & so glad your vehicle issues are long gone.
Thank you to you & the team once again - all the best from the Noosa Hinterland in Queensland Australia ✌️👏👍
Thank you Ed, for taking us (again) with a great adventure.
What an awesome episode bud, and an even better adventure with you. Great production Ed and I always look forward to experiencing new adventures in Southern Africa. I look forward seeing the next one legend 🍻
Thanks Legend!! And thanks for the awesome shots that made this possible!
That morning chorus - fantastic
What a thrill!! The best episode ever. Wildlife, birds and scenery off the charts fantastic, but what I loved the most was the personalization that made me feel like I was there with you. Those tremendous meals, purchasing firewood and Ryan explaining cost, the visit to the grocery store ...... this is what sets you apart. Simply the best!! Please tell me what you stuffed those mushrooms with, they looked phenomenal.
Visiting Kruger National Park is an incredibly rewarding experience, provided you approach it in the right manner and the right time. Your videos are spot-on touching every crucial information and mostly they inspire more people to get out there and take a break from the cities and luxuries so they can experience a beautiful and peaceful world that is waiting to be explored 😊.. one more thing I like the way you guys are able to communicate and support the local people
Keep it up buddy, I didn't see Chris this time.. 😊
Thank you🙏
@@EdwardBath you're welcome
Great show...good pic quality..thanks again guys..
Awesome footage well done. Looking forward to your next episode.
Thank you for being back, positive, so much energy. You inspire me❤
Enjoying the Channel! You're filming is really good. Thanks for sharing. Subscribing for a lot more! 😀
OK, so seriously boys, this is one of the best videos you’ve ever put out…. Well for me anyway. Maybe it’s because I also just love Kruger and especially Tsendze and Punda and can just relate so much. But the way you make the bush and the braai and everything just come alive with your narrative and footage, is just amazing and I can smell those chops and taste those beers. Thanks for also giving Rogerz and Helena the accolades they so deserve and for making Tsendze such an incredible place to be. As for the noisy neighbours…. Ya, enough said . Well done gents and thanks for sharing this adventure and making me seriously amped to get back there again
Love your videos can't get enough I recon Noah had enough of the noise of the animals on the ark and kicked them all of the ark in Africa lol there is so much to the country than just animals the landscape is beautiful the mountains the valleys and the desert
One love
Hi Ed you made me fell inlove and reconnect with nature, I’m so happy that both your vehicles are up and running, this would mean more content coming from you I’m so happy for you
You are a MASTER with the camera!!!❤
I came back for a second viewing. I think my first week long expedition in my recently acquired 76 Series Landcruiser has to be Tsendze, I have to start somewhere and get my feet wet. By the way, I could smell those chops from here and I am in London at the moment.
I’m so happy to have you back Ed. You’re legend.
Thank you Legend!!
Spectacular video from Africa. Amazing wild animals up close & personal 😊 My always favorite- the elephants 🐘 When you two take over the grill at night I feel I can almost smell the great aroma in the air! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Five Star cuisine 😊 Sure it drives your neighbors & animals 😜 crazy. Super job, Ed & Ryan 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸
Im not much of a camper but i might just start because of this wonderful video. I also love how you guys make it a point to pronounce African names as they should. Well done Edward and Ryan! This is a pure South African video.
Work on the Limpopo not Limpawpaw. Po. Po. 😉
What a great episode, the photography, music, really entertaining and something to be proud of, I almost lit the fire a few times for a braai, it was so realistic. Job well done - Travel safe and thanks for all the filming you do.
Thanks for an amazing episode. I swear my wife smelt those chops and looked over at my iPad..Now I have to go and buy some Jimmys😂…you really captured the feeling of being in the bush…Really enjoy your channel….Top quality as always
All that cooking, I could just taste and smell how great it was.
Fantastic, looking forward to next journey but can I ask, do you boys feed the whole Campsite when you do a cook up 😊 some amount of food.
Great episode as always Ed. Really informative and detailed. So relaxing watching you on the adventure!
Epic as usual Ed, I’m so happy both your cruisers are back in top form mate. Love those seat covers are they Tecla?
Yoh! The food man, i think this episode you have really shown us the cooking. Enjoyed it, i am worried though Ryan never cooked again was the stake ok? He turned out to be meat shaker at the end. 😂
Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching and for the contribution Andrew! I really appreciate it!
Hi Ed AND Ryan. I am going on my very very first camping adventure with my wife this September at Tsendze... yes I did fishing trips etc as a young person, but because of responsibilities etc could never afford the time and or gear to do it. Purchased a conqueror comfort last year and will b retiering soon and hope we will meet by accident on one of your trips. I need to do this right now before the age catches up with us. Nice video yet again and glad your cars are sorted........Can't wait😁👏👏👏
Epic episode🔥🔥
Love this ❤❤❤
Beautiful 🎉
Lovely episode. I wasn’t expecting it so soon after the Namibia series and it was an awesome surprise. . Thank you. We were at Tsendze and Punda Maria last month and it is still so green with plenty of water. Weren’t you disappointed that you can’t drive over the dam wall at Grootvlei any more? One criticism: that big light on a stick is horrible. We had somebody with one next to us at Balule and had to ask them to put it off as it was lighting up our camp site - we prefer to see the stars and only use a candle - careful you don’t annoy your neighbors with it - I am sure you use it responsibly, though. Looking forward to the fever tree forest episode as well as camping in Mazhou.
Thanks Steve, trying to keep the uploads consistent but it’s tough. Completely agree, I always have mine on the lowest brightness and never pointed at someone’s campsite. Not being able to drive over grootvlei is a big disappointment, apparently some guy rolled his vehicle off it and that’s why it’s closed
We were thinking exactly the same thing about that light. We also had neighbours with a light like that. It was terrible.
@@justus.genstef ja, I don’t know who thought it was a good idea. I am glad I am not the only one. And the people that use them have no idea how horrible they are to their neighbours. I almost want to start a campaign against any company who makes or sells those stupid things.
@@SteveNuns lol 😂 I hear you they are horrible. We were so shocked the first time we saw a camper use one of these, We must admit it did create a bit of anger in us, that light is blinding bright!
Quite a bit to ask...
1. What drives you to do this? I know it's a combination of every aspect but what's the one thing you enjoy? Being on the road, the solitude, the landscape or the animals? Or that cold beer by the fire perhaps?
2. Were you guys with a group of people or does Ryan really chow that much coz that was a ton of grub.
Finally thank you for the content. I've finally come to terms that as much as I enjoy your adventures, it's the mood you bring in with you sound selection that got me subbed
1. The motivation is to inspire people to get out and experience these incredible places.
2. We cooked a lot but had plenty of leftovers 😂
Thank you for watching the channel 🙏
@@EdwardBath inspire you do. Keep up the good work mate and we'll keep watching
Ed you are a special man. Thank you for the vids
Thank you! 🙏
Edward, it's because of you that I had to upgrade my tv!! Your videography is too good for HD tv, you have to get a 4k! So I have. Thanks 😋
Love the programme, but would love to have some onscreen names of sightings of especially birds.
Hey Ed..great video as always. Glad your vehicles are working and back in action. I was wondering..when you went on game drives how did you keep the fridge in the trailer running?
Thanks Rob! I plugged the trailer fridge into the Flexopower lithium 555 power pack when I went on game drives and also charged the 555 via solar
Jy was absolutely amazing en n bron van inspirasie vir ons Seun
Great video Ed. Always a joy to unwind the day and watch your videos. How did you end up solving the fuel consumption issue on the 100 series?
Thank you legend! I had the diesel pump and injectors reconditioned 🙏
@@EdwardBath Glad to hear you got it sorted out. You can call that ordeal as history at least. Thumbs up!
@@edwardzammit3714 thank you bud! What a mission but it’s over now. Thanks for the support!
Thanks
Thank you so much Elsabe! Your support makes a huge difference 🙏
H Ed, as usual a fabulous episode and and a good mix of game sightings and camp life. Please can you tell us what you eat with your meals besides the copious quantities of good quality meats. Do you eat any vegetables or salads.
Thanks Ken! Yes we have a mixture of fresh veggies and salads in the beginning of the trip and then frozen veggies towards the end
Ed trips makes you wish you could tag along 🔥🔥❤️
Great video. Just one question!! What camera system are you using? Is it dslr or mirrorless...... You guys produce quality videos, clarity, colour...... One of the best.
Thank you! I use a combination of a canon 5D mark iv and canon 80D 🙏
Thanks for sharing these great experiences with us. By the way: I can't believe that you both use fire lighters for your campfire - where's the challenge? 😅😉🤘🏾
Hey Edd when you use the whole packet of fire lighter you certainly will get any fire going 😂.
Hey Garry! Unfortunately not the thick mopani wood 😂
Hi Edward, could you please post some info on the radios and antennas you use on your vehicles?
Love your content Edward, but the number of ad breaks is a bit much. Am watching from the UK so maybe just here.
Thanks so much Alan, unfortunately it’s the only way we earn money on UA-cam and can pay for these trips, I completely understand your frustration though, wish I had to do without it
34:30 the grrrr as only a Toyota can 😂
Hi ED. Love your Channel. when can we feedback on the situation on progress on the 200 Series. Also what was the real damages.
why do they hv to put the wood in plasic bags???
I also don’t understand this, maybe to keep it dry? But it doesn’t do that either
hi is it safe in the kruger park ? like crime ?
Hi, yes it’s perfectly safe
Look good, nice episode, but I expected more "wild" animals 😔
Thanks but it’s not the zoo, it’s luck of the draw with the predators
Pop next time in at Total Masorini Phalaborwa for free ☕️
A whole packet of fire lighters! No wonder it gets the Wood going 😂
First of all it was half a packet and you clearly haven’t tried to light thick mopani wood
I was only pulling your leg on the fire lighters, great video!
Bruh that's not how you use fire lighters 😂 seriously. Chop your wood into kindling and build your fire. You only need like 4 little cubes. Old mate is out here using entire packets to start a fire 😂😂
Okay mate! You chop wood for a couple of ours in Tsendze and see how you do with the neighbors you prick
