      I think once you become a UA-camr and build a following you get it for free. As it becomes an advertising campaign. Go for it. Luxury travel expert is a doctor but even on a doctors salary there’s no way he can afford this plus he’s more than likely not practicing as he’s never in Belgium always on holiday. Either that or he was born with inherited wealth and owns lots of land. I don’t know just speculating 😂😂

    The intention of "stillness" created by the interior design of Ivory Lodge, the massive beauty of the land, makes one feel one with Africa. It's as if you have left the earth and transported back in time to an utterly simplistic way of life. Every trip you have made to Africa has felt this way, at least for me. Keep going back, please. Travel safe.

    Music choices are so on point - amazing - I have lead tours for people from all over the world to places just like Sabi - and, of course Kruger is usually part of "bucket list" choices for most tourists and so it should be - to be part of Africa and to share space with out animal brothers and sisters is a massive privilege - and she is calling - always calling....

    AMAZING. AMAZING! 2 awesome lux properties with incredible safari experiences. As you are wondering through their habitat what would keep any of those lions, leopards, wild dogs to making a move to those in the open air vehicles? That is about as close as you can get to the wilderness… an epic incredible ultra lux experience. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

    Thank you for another exciting safari! There certainly is no shortage of lions in the area around Lion Sands Ivory Lodge! Or giraffes, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, impalas, wild dogs, hyenas, etc. Your accommodations were perfect and the meals looked wonderful. I was actually glad to see the rain--probably much needed no matter the time of year.

I know these videos are hard enough to make and edit without taking on "special requests" from your viewers. Have other viewers asked about the weather/temperature of your tours or am I living TOO vicariously through your great videos? ;)

    Very nice lobby and spacious villa! However, those booths in the dining area looked uncomfortable! Are guests allowed to dabble in the paints? Are you free to wander the property? Could you try for close-ups on the animals? I would love to see that! How long does a drive last on average? 2 hrs? Thank you, dear LTE! Be blessed!

    Do you actually offer travel agent services? I contacted Lion Sands Ivory Lodge and it looks like they have a pay for 2 nights get the 3rd night free special. I'm looking to do a safari (going through your videos) in March of next year. I like the River Lodge Suite also but it doesn't compare to this.

    Ive watched several of your Safari trips and I always wonder, how do they keep you safe? Private pools open to area and rooms open and walking around with no concern. They are still wild animals and people are ultimatly a meal. Are the areas fenced? Then how do you view the animals at the river? Always wondered this.
