S1 - Ep 193 - Addo Elephant National Park - Another Fantastic Visit!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2022
- Coming all this way to the town of Addo in the Eastern Cape and not visiting the Addo Elephant National Park was completely unimaginable to us. So, that is exactly what we did. There is so much life in the park. We saw kudu, zebra, warthogs, hartebeest and of course elephants. Even the dung beetles we saw were fascinating. What fantastic sightings of elephants we had, they were so close! We even saw two huge elephant bulls having a little bit of a fight and the rest of the herd running in to stop them. I don’t take chances with elephants, so made sure I kept my distance. We waited till the whole commotion was over and slowly slipped by unnoticed. Then we unfortunately had to leave this fantastic place and head to our next destination. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #addoelephantnationalpark #easterncape #elephant

Interesting to see kudu feed on grass.........first time in my 64 years, netjiese video
You make an interesting point, we didn't even realise that they weren't eating leaves as we usually see them do. Great eye for detail! 👌🏻 They're truly magnificent antelope! 🦌 Thank you as always for watching, we appreciate that. 🚗😊
That was fantastic to see the elephants.. Thank you
So happy to hear, we also loved them! 🐘😍 Thank you for watching!
Loved to see the warthogs, bushbucks, kudu. The vegetation surprised me, after weeks of arid austerity.
The animal sightings were really rewarding that morning.The different types of vegetation were very interesting to us. Thank you for watching! 👌🏻🦌
Wow oh wow amazing
Oh, i loved seeing all the animals! The park is so beautiful!
Oh the elephants!!!!! My absolute favorite 😍 💓
This episode was absolutely 💯 👌 🔥
Thank you so much! 🤗
Wow that was amazing. Elephants are one of my favourite animals. Beautiful gentle giants ❤, one has to respect them
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. We haven't been there for years. Great to see the bush looking green and healthy and the park's accommodation looking fantastic.
So glad you enjoyed this episode! It was a fantastic visit with such rewarding sightings. The park looked really good and it's so great to see! 🐘🌳
Wow! The elephants are so silent considering how bulky they are! We also suddenly saw them come out of the bushes and had to watch in wonder as they crossed over to the other side and just melt into the bushes❤
I really like your movies. You have been to interesting places and it is a special pleasure that you move the camera slowly! It would be nice to see more home decor :)
Thank you, we're so happy to have you along! 🐘🤩 We remember you loved the wire artworks in one of our previous videos. We'll definitely stop at places like those again when we happen upon them and film some of the items. 😁🚗
That’s a big herd of elephants! Wow !!!
wow, now this bring back memories. I love this place. Come to louisiana. I will be your host, stay here and take you to New Orleans and Baton Rouge both just an hour away.
We hadn't been to the park in quite a few years when we visited this time and it was like seeing old friends again when we saw the elephants for the first time. We just love them! 😍🐘 We may just take you up on that offer, we love the US and would love to explore the country one day! Would love to see Baton Rouge and New Orleans, we've never been to either. 😁🇺🇸
Wow! Just breathtaking to see so much wildlife! Saw loads of warthogs and zebras too!
Die diere intreseer my so elk een het sy maniere so pragtig dankie dat ek dit kon sien so mooi en die Muskruier wat alles so intresant bymekaar maak o so pragtig dankie diere is so pragtig ❤😊
O my word that was awesome guys.. really enjoyed the ride with you both and your commentary 😄 exciting what you were going to see next, what a lovely huge hared of elephants and the unexpected.. like the jackal..that was cool.. I'm sharing this to SA friend's in the UK, who really love and miss home.. Thank you, Njoy 🎉🐗🦓🐘🐘🐘🚗☁️🌥️✨
We're so glad you enjoyed the drive through the park with us. 😁 The sightings were so rewarding and we can't help but be super excited every time we get to visit a National Park. 🤩 The jackal was really cool and so unexpected. We hope your friends in the UK will also enjoy this one, thank you so much for sharing. 😊🚗
@@DustBugsTravel absolute pleasure..I'm sure they going to love it as much as I .. thanks again for sharing your adventures 🚗✨💖
Yay you sure seem to have had the full Addo experience. There can be days when one sees very little, and even no elephants. Well done, and thankyou for sharing. I agree dont take chance's with any wild animals but I would think an elephant would be number one , loved it.
It was a really rewarding morning and fantastic being so close to elephants again. We absolutely adore them! 😍🐘 Thank you for taking a drive through the park with us. 😎🚗
Well that was a nice short visit to the park. But one thing I notice more and more is that your wife wants to camp...I can see you renting or buying a camper soon.. 🙂
😁 And I'll be happy to! She must just say the word. But methinks when push comes to shove, she'll back out rather quickly! 🤣🚐
@@DustBugsTravel 😄

Yippeeeeee!!!!! Been at this park April of 2016💃 I’m excited to re-visit in your back seat! Thank you guys❤
Beautiful Chalets👌👌👌
The views!!!!! Stunning👌
Dankie vir die deel!
Sure, glad you liked it! 😍🐘
This was such a great episode for me. The last time I was there was in the 1980ies. Ugh you guys 😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥💥💥
Thank you so much! We're so happy that you travelled there with us again! 🤩 Hopefully it brought back some good memories for you. 🐘🥰
Thanks for an amazing video transported to South Africa I've tried to explain what it's like to leave home for a drive and see all the wildlife in a park unless you have done it you can't explain how good it is the amount of elephants the fighting the power they have to just turn a vehicle over really enjoyed it I am so glad I found this site keep up the good work 👏
It's true that we're indeed very fortunate to get into our vehicles anytime we wish and see the most amazing wildlife up close and personal. Respect for the wildlife is key. We love sharing it with you and are so happy that you enjoy it. 😍🐘
Beautiful video! Jul neem my nou ver terug. Ek was jare gelede daar ♥️
It really is a wonderful park! Hopefully you get the opportunity to visit again soon. 😍🐘
Amazing, geogeous animals and you saw so many different ones. That was so good last I was there was many years ago, it has changed a lot since then. Those first 4 elephants were huge. Those 2 vehicles surrounded by the elephants must have been scary yet thrilling. Just loved all the different places to stay wow. Thank you so much it was amazing.
Yes, we were really happy with all the animals we saw, we loved every single one of them! 🐘🦌 Hopefully you were reminded of some good times you spent in the park. 🚗🤩
Thank you for another amazing trip you two. Even a stretch of gravel road! I haven't been there myself and never thought there would be such a variety of game in an "elephant" park. The wide choice of accommodation is also impressive.
I can't wait for our next trip.
Stay safe!
You know we will always squeeze gravel in, given half a chance! 😝 The variety of game is really impressive and we had abundant animal sightings. They even have lion and leopard there, but they remained hidden from our sight this time around. I hope your trip is around the corner. Until then, we'll continue to whet your appetite for the long road. 😉🚗
very nice. never been there. time to go😁
Oh, absolutely! You'll love it! 🤩🐘 Glad you enjoyed.
Yay! Elephants! My second fave animal after cheetahs.Good to see old Hapoor again. Expensive but well worth saving up for. Interresting that girl elephants have their breasts between their front legs. And ag mama! The babies are too cute. I think the herd, which seems mosty mums with babies, were more excited over the fight than scared. Perhaps a new bull trying to take over?
We love them too! 🐘❤️ I don't know elephant behaviour that well, but I think both males may have been in musth, which I believe make them more aggressive. Glad you enjoyed it with us. 😁🚗
@@DustBugsTravel I think you are right
