SOOO So happy you enjoyed it..!! I grew up in this area. HUGE thanks to Morné and Lion Sands for showing you one of the MOST beautiful parts of South Africa.
Hi Phoebe and Matt, we are an Aussie and a Yank going to Capetown for a week then want to do a safari type thing like you did. I'm sure that place cost you an arm and a leg, but anyway, more details... which airport did you fly to from Capetown? How many different drives did you go on in 2 days? What do you do in between time? We're planning to be there 1st week of Feb. Any one else want to chime in on recommendations of lodges/game drives feel free.
Hi Kerie, Lion Sands is one of the more upmarket lodges and you will pay a premium price catered for foreign tourists (about USD1750 per couple per night including breakfast and lunch) It is spectacular but there are way more affordable places, most local South Africans cannot afford these prices but still stay at lovely lodges in or near Kruger Park. Within Kruger Park you can stay in a bungalow for USD120 or more upmarket lodges. There are also local tour companies that will take you on safaris tailored for you. (check out Honey Badger Safari Tours) Phoebe and Max would have departed from Cape Town International Airport and you can fly direct to Skukuza Airport in Kruger Park. Hope that helps.
I know! Aren't those little elephants just so beautiful and perfect. It was amazing being able to be so close to different animals, it really gave us a new love, respect and appreciation for where we fit into the world and just how precious animals are. Phoebe
@@travelforphoebe Yah you are absolutely right phoebe, You are so lucky that travelling beautiful & Amazing places on Earth. Thanks for your channels by sitting at home we can watch and get knowledge of all beautiful places. Matt is more lucky then you, Travelling Amazing places with the gorgeous lady in the world.
Hello! Absolutely!! I have so much in my life to be grateful for and being mindful of that only makes things better. This experience on safari was incredible and I'm just so thankful for it. Thanks so much for watching, hope you can check out our new video about Outback Australia! Have a great weekend and thanks again - Phoebe x
Hello! We had an amazing time on Safari and in South Africa in general! Thanks so much for watching, have a great end to the week and a lovely weekend. Our new video comes out this evening! Phoebe x
Hope you come back to Cape Town and visit again next time you must come visit Hermanus for the Sharks in Cape Town and Muizenberg. You are more than welcome will get you a Apartment for 3 weeks @ a less price. God bless 🙏 you. Stay safe.
The luxury of the modern world in the midst of pure wilderness. Almost insane. Kruger park is also a wonder that will leave you inhabited by those beautiful animals for quite a while. And you can safari by yourself there.
I hear you! It was something I’d dreamed of for a long time too and I’m glad I waited. Still one of the top travel/life experiences of all time for me. When you finally get there, it’ll mean so much to you, I’ve no doubt. An incredible thing to experience 🙏🏼
Hey! Thanks so much for watching our video. We share a new travel video each Friday! Hope you have a fantastic day and thanks again for visiting our channel - Phoebe x
Thanks so much for the sub! Our visit was at the end of August last year. Only tips are just to slow down and enjoy every single moment. It’s easily one of my all-time favourite travel experiences! Thanks so much for watching, have an AMAZING time 😊 Phoebe x
Me like when I saw the lion and wild dog (I think) came together and I was like fight fight fight fight fight but started booing when the wild god walked away
At least you are appreciating our wildlife. Too many trophy hunters are hell-bent on exterminating them! GGGRRRR! It is a real problem out here. Also poachers that kill rhinos for their horn. It is sooo sad!
Hello! That's heartbreaking, I'll never understand how hunters are able to take the lives of such beautiful wild animals. Thanks so much for watching our video and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. We share a brand new video each Friday! 😀🙌🏻 Have a great day and thanks again - Phoebe x
Spitting Cobras must not live there. In Kenya the van we took protected us. We stopped by a spitting cobra and the driver rolled up his window as the cobra took notice of us and reared up. You got to see a leopard!!! Twice! I never saw a leopard. Some meat was hung in a tree across the river from the lodge. The meat moved, but we never saw the animal moving it.
You are incredibly lucky to have seen hyena!! Editing this - as I am still watching the video as I type haha, you saw a leopard, during the day and in the same spot as yesterday! You are VERY lucky!
I know!! Our guides were so excited we got to see that moment and that we got to see THREE cheetah as well, it was like all the planets aligned and we got to see pretty much every animal except for wild dogs. Thanks so much for watching, hope you can check out our new video about Outback Australia! Have a great weekend and thanks again - Phoebe x
Hello! It was perfect!!! Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it. Our new video comes out tonight, it’s about Outback Australia 😀 hope you can watch. Have a great weekend and thanks again. Phoebe x
Wow - You were unbelievably Lucky to see a Rhino - especially one of that size - they are so endangered and Poachers are just running riot with them - so Sad !!
I'm really glad you enjoyed our country. I would just be too scared to go to the hippos. They kill more people in Africa than any other animal, including snakes!😰 Don't let their size fool you. They can get up to a good speed.
Oh gosh, I know haha my mum told me before I left ‘Don’t go near the hippos’ but our guides were so amazing and experienced, they made sure we were very safe and followed their instructions and didn’t get too close. Thanks for watching! Our new video comes out tonight and it’s about our trip to the Australian Outback! Phoebe x
They are only a big deal if they are on land and you are on land, or you're both in water. But if they're in water and you're on land they don't bother you much. As long as you keep an experienced eye on them you can easily tell when they are about to get out the water.
What you describe as hearing the lions growl in your heart.... we talk about feeling Africa inside you. Being born in Africa, the rhythm of Africa beats inside us...its hard to explain but I think you'll understand
Yeah, right, that makes a lot of sense when you describe it like that. I was having a hard time trying to convey how it felt, it was just..... haha I still can’t quite find the words to say how special it was. It’ll stay with me forever. It was a very grounding and humbling moment. Thanks for watching and all your comments! Phoebe x
Great video. Just a tip: Just keep in mind next time that if you come across something endangered like a rhino, mention how endangered they are and maybe include a link to an organization that fights their poaching. You are the voice of the voiceless at the end of the day.
Hello! Thanks so much for watching this video and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. We share a new travel video each Friday. Hope you have a great week ahead! Phoebe x
@@travelforphoebe thank you so much for taking time and coming here even after reading articles that generally don't mention that South Africans are basically very similar to Americans or any other country.. Your more likely to get shot in American then Africa but no one wants to hear that
The animals are pretty used to the vehicles. From what conservationists have explained to me before, many of the animals see you and the vehicle as one large entity (as long as you don't jump up and down or go to crazy on it) so they won't mess with something that large unless they are provoked or starving.
Hey guys. This is a really good channel that you guys have... Have you ever thought of including slow motion in your videos? It would elevate them to the next level! You've been pumping content consistently and deserve more people watching you! Confident you'll get there... Keep it up!

Phoebe, you forgot to head up the west coast when you were in SA, I was recently in Langebaan again, lived in cape town all my life, but every holiday, we just drove up 1 and a half hours up the coast to our little holiday house there, not a friendlier place in the world there. Im white but on my dad's side I have some west coast khoisan coloured in me, and I couldnt be prouder of that whenever i see the people there.
Hello! Oh wow, okay, we'll have to put that on our list and check it out when we get the chance! Thanks so much for watching this video and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. We share a new travel video each Friday. Hope you have a great week ahead! Phoebe x
I envy you and the thrill of your first safari. I'm heading back to southern Africa from Australia next March for more safari love for the 8th time. Just love it. I've stayed at a couple of the Sabi Sands lodges (Earth Lodge and Little Bush Lodge) and they are amazing! And the guides and trackers are top quality. If you want to take your safari experience to the next level, try a walking and boating lodge in the Okavango Delta. (Best sunsets in the world there.) Highly recommend Camp Okavango run by Desert & Delta Safaris - no, I'm not a rep. Really enjoyed this clip. That male leopard on the night drive was huge!
Hello! Oh wow, great tips - thanks so much for sharing those. Our guides did warn us we might become safari addicts. I kinda thought people just did one in their lifetime as a bucket list thing and that was it - I'm so glad there are other ways to experience it again and again because it was so amazing. Thanks so much for watching our video and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. We share a brand new video each Friday! 😀🙌🏻 Have a great day and thanks again - Phoebe x
Morne is incredible!!!! He made our time there so much more special with his knowledge and amazing energy. We were so very lucky to have him and Rector 😍 I hope we get to go back again. Thanks for watching and for the lovely comment. Have a great weekend. Phoebe x
@@travelforphoebe One has to give credit where it is due. I am glad you both got to enjoy your experience in South Africa. Keep up the good work you are doing.
Omg ...Lions ...Critters ....what else ?...Growling Noises coming from the bush ...What's this !!!...Mating !!!!!.....Oh my days ...of course it's the Animals! !.😨...Wasn't sure for a moment guys ...Fabulous Video you have made a great travel video ...Loved watching you and Matt super dupes !!!...See next time ....Regards Caen 😎 ...
I love you 😍"little gray box" and also I will write all your videos from the beginning 👉87👈. I support you very much 💙because you really provide more than wonderful content 😍 Greetings to you, you are the best role model in the whole world.😘
Wow - You were unbelievably Lucky to see a Rhino - especially one of that size - they are so endangered and Poachers are just running riot with them - so Sad !!
DUDES! You saw a leopard. I don't know if your guide let you in on how rare just seeing a leopard once is never mind the same one two days in a row!!! Lucky sods!!
I know right! Yeah they told us and we were stoked! In fact the leopard was the first animal we saw I think. We also saw three cheetah together on the last morning :) thanks for watching Gareth - Matt
You have to see a place like Kruger to appreciate what we're doing to this planet. Personally I felt I got an inkling of what it must have been like before us when I was there. Also of course what our place is in the natural pecking order in physical matters. Without our weapons and fences. It's humbling. These animals are all worth our respect for their ability to survive in the wild with nothing but their bodies. And yes they are beautiful.
YES! Wow, your comment really captured something I haven't been able to put into words myself. It truly is humbling, just as you've described. The moment we saw those lions together, it just... I don't know... it put things into perspective. It really was a life-changing experience for me. Thanks so much for watching and commenting too - your comment really resonated! P x
I am so so Glad that U enjoyed our Country and the Hospitality was Par Excellence from those who hosted U. Thanx to them U enjoyed and I am really Proud of them. May this visit breed more visits and more visitors. I was really touched by your emotion at one point and I realized how much Beautiful and Hospitable SA is. God Bless U Sister. I really liked Ur expression when the Chef came to conform Ur dietary requirements, I Like it too and very much Happy that such a small thing took U by surprise. Thanx for visiting.
Thanks so much for the kind words. We loved SA! Lion Sands was an amazing place hosted by incredible people and we were so lucky to be able to experience it. Matt
Lion Sands look amazing! I grew up on a game farm and probably don’t realise everyday what a blessing it was to live so close to nature. Enjoy JHB! Check out maboneng, it’s a very cool area with lots of interesting rooftop bars in the city.
A luxury class Safari! Thanks , was in Kruger 'way back in 79/80 so great to see animals still there. For me the Rhinos were the most impressive, the way they were like a tank, they could go anywhere they wanted without even thinking about it . Stunning, cheers Warren
The Rhinos were amazing, you’re right! They looked prehistoric to me, it was like being near a dinosaur haha. I also loved the leopards!!! Thanks so much for watching, have a great day 😀🙌🏻 our new video all about Singapore comes out on Friday! Phoebe x
Hello!! Thank you so much, we really appreciate the kindness and support. This Safari was such a highlight for us - not just of this trip, but of all time 😍🙌🏻 have a great day. Phoebe x

Hi there ! I’m from Singapore and will be in Cape Town following which il head to joburg… Cld u share how to book a tour for lion sands n or …. Ur itinerary? Thanks !
Hello: Would you feel safe repeating everything you have already done in your travels? I am suspicious of the motives of the president of South Africa, and I have heard horror stories about farmers being driven off their land, and worse. I'd love to go to South Africa; I believe it is the most beautiful country in the world. thank you
Hello! All we can do is share our own personal experiences and, based on those, I would repeat them again. We had an enjoyable time on our travels. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video - please use a mic in the future. The music was loud and the dialog was so soft it did not balance well. Overall we enjoyed the video and a sincere thank you for posting it. Cheers from SoCal
Hi! Thanks so much for watching 😍🙌🏻 we do use a mic but it’s tough for us to balance the music perfectly for every device type. We check it on our tv, phones and computer but inevitably it’s gonna be off for someone, somewhere in the world. I know when I stream something sometimes the dialogue is so soft and then the music blasts me out the room 😂 and that’s big budget! Let alone our little production here on UA-cam- we do try our best, I promise you that. Thank you so much for watching and so glad you enjoy our videos - hope you have a beautiful day over there!! Phoebe xx ♥️

Aren't they spectacular?! We just got back from our second South Africa trip last week and have a brand new Safari video going up THIS weekend :) Should give you even more inspo, I'm sure! You're going to have the most amazing time. Phoebe x
It's about 2 million hectares, about the size of Israel. That doesn't count the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park and Mozambique National Park which adds about another million all together.
You are so lucky to have had a vehicle to yourselves! This is my job to arrange safaris so it is nice to see through your eyes. Will you be visiting Botswana or Zimbabwe?
Hello! We really were - I think because we were there working they took extra care of us and we had a very special experience. Sadly, no, but I've heard they're both beautiful and would LOVE to visit! Thank you so much for watching our video, we really appreciate it. We share a new travel video each Friday evening! Hope you have a fantastic week and thanks again. Phoebe x
@@travelforphoebe sounds awesome. Contact me if you need help with planning your holiday to Botswana or Zimbabwe I would love to help 😊 victoria@indonga.co.za

Im white but on my dad's side I have some west coast khoisan coloured in me, and I couldnt be prouder of that whenever i see the people there.
Hello! Oh wow, okay, we'll have to put that on our list and check it out when we get the chance! Thanks so much for watching this video and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. We share a new travel video each Friday. Hope you have a great week ahead! Phoebe x
I loved this video❤ , a bit anxious to watch the Johannesburg one 😅 #proudly_southafrican
I envy you and the thrill of your first safari. I'm heading back to southern Africa from Australia next March for more safari love for the 8th time. Just love it. I've stayed at a couple of the Sabi Sands lodges (Earth Lodge and Little Bush Lodge) and they are amazing! And the guides and trackers are top quality. If you want to take your safari experience to the next level, try a walking and boating lodge in the Okavango Delta. (Best sunsets in the world there.) Highly recommend Camp Okavango run by Desert & Delta Safaris - no, I'm not a rep. Really enjoyed this clip. That male leopard on the night drive was huge!
Hello! Oh wow, great tips - thanks so much for sharing those. Our guides did warn us we might become safari addicts. I kinda thought people just did one in their lifetime as a bucket list thing and that was it - I'm so glad there are other ways to experience it again and again because it was so amazing. Thanks so much for watching our video and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. We share a brand new video each Friday! 😀🙌🏻 Have a great day and thanks again - Phoebe x
You looks like a actress in TV show gossip girl.
Thanks so much for watching! 😊🙌🏻
Great opportunity to go on drive with Morne. He is an excellent guide and expert birder and herpetologist. Worked with him in KwaZulu-Natal.
Oh man we loved Morne! He does love his birds! I miss the big fella :) thanks for watching - Matt
Morne is incredible!!!! He made our time there so much more special with his knowledge and amazing energy. We were so very lucky to have him and Rector 😍 I hope we get to go back again. Thanks for watching and for the lovely comment. Have a great weekend. Phoebe x
@@travelforphoebe One has to give credit where it is due. I am glad you both got to enjoy your experience in South Africa. Keep up the good work you are doing.
I lived in joburg (Yeoville) in 84-85, and Randburg in 88-89.
I took my wife to Kruger in 2008!!!!!
Omg ...Lions ...Critters ....what else ?...Growling Noises coming from the bush ...What's this !!!...Mating !!!!!.....Oh my days ...of course it's the Animals! !.😨...Wasn't sure for a moment guys ...Fabulous Video you have made a great travel video ...Loved watching you and Matt super dupes !!!...See next time ....Regards Caen 😎
...
Haahaha thanks so much Caen! Have a good weekend mate - Matt
I love you 😍"little gray box" and also I will write all your videos from the beginning 👉87👈. I support you very much 💙because you really provide more than wonderful content 😍 Greetings to you, you are the best role model in the whole world.😘
Wow - You were unbelievably Lucky to see a Rhino - especially one of that size - they are so endangered and Poachers are just running riot with them - so Sad !!
We were very fortunate. It’s so so sad. They are so beautiful. Thanks for watching Cosmos! - Matt
DUDES! You saw a leopard. I don't know if your guide let you in on how rare just seeing a leopard once is never mind the same one two days in a row!!! Lucky sods!!
I know right! Yeah they told us and we were stoked! In fact the leopard was the first animal we saw I think. We also saw three cheetah together on the last morning :) thanks for watching Gareth - Matt
you have a lucky man!
Clear picture and you are gorgeous I really enjoy your video thank you for posting on youtube
Thank you so much for watching 😍🙌🏻
You have to see a place like Kruger to appreciate what we're doing to this planet. Personally I felt I got an inkling of what it must have been like before us when I was there. Also of course what our place is in the natural pecking order in physical matters. Without our weapons and fences. It's humbling. These animals are all worth our respect for their ability to survive in the wild with nothing but their bodies. And yes they are beautiful.
YES! Wow, your comment really captured something I haven't been able to put into words myself. It truly is humbling, just as you've described. The moment we saw those lions together, it just... I don't know... it put things into perspective. It really was a life-changing experience for me. Thanks so much for watching and commenting too - your comment really resonated! P x
South Africa is amazing
We had a ball! Thanks for watching Donald! Matt
I am so so Glad that U enjoyed our Country and the Hospitality was Par Excellence from those who hosted U. Thanx to them U enjoyed and I am really Proud of them. May this visit breed more visits and more visitors. I was really touched by your emotion at one point and I realized how much Beautiful and Hospitable SA is. God Bless U Sister. I really liked Ur expression when the Chef came to conform Ur dietary requirements, I Like it too and very much Happy that such a small thing took U by surprise. Thanx for visiting.
Thanks so much for the kind words. We loved SA! Lion Sands was an amazing place hosted by incredible people and we were so lucky to be able to experience it. Matt
Lion Sands look amazing! I grew up on a game farm and probably don’t realise everyday what a blessing it was to live so close to nature. Enjoy JHB! Check out maboneng, it’s a very cool area with lots of interesting rooftop bars in the city.
Thanks so much for watching Andrea. You must have really enjoyed your childhood. Thanks for the tips on JHB too - Matt
A luxury class Safari! Thanks , was in Kruger 'way back in 79/80 so great to see animals still there. For me the Rhinos were the most impressive, the way they were like a tank, they could go anywhere they wanted without even thinking about it . Stunning, cheers Warren
The Rhinos were amazing, you’re right! They looked prehistoric to me, it was like being near a dinosaur haha. I also loved the leopards!!! Thanks so much for watching, have a great day 😀🙌🏻 our new video all about Singapore comes out on Friday! Phoebe x
One schizophrenic weirdo disliked this video.
😂😂😂 oh my gosh! Thanks so much for watching 😀 Have a great week. Phoebe x

Proudly South African❤️❤️ 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thank you for shedding light on the misconceptions the world puts on this beautiful country
How much was the safari experience?
So so glad you enjoyed it :D There's nothing quite like the bush!
It was insane... I wish we had more time there. Matt
Hi there !
I’m from Singapore and will be in Cape Town following which il head to joburg…
Cld u share how to book a tour for lion sands n or …. Ur itinerary?
Thanks !
Hey! Here’s the link to book Lion Sands bit.ly/2Lje8W3 😊
Hello: Would you feel safe repeating everything you have already done in your travels? I am suspicious of the motives of the president of South Africa, and I have heard horror stories about farmers being driven off their land, and worse. I'd love to go to South Africa; I believe it is the most beautiful country in the world. thank you
Hello! All we can do is share our own personal experiences and, based on those, I would repeat them again. We had an enjoyable time on our travels. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video - please use a mic in the future. The music was loud and the dialog was so soft it did not balance well. Overall we enjoyed the video and a sincere thank you for posting it. Cheers from SoCal
Hi! Thanks so much for watching 😍🙌🏻 we do use a mic but it’s tough for us to balance the music perfectly for every device type. We check it on our tv, phones and computer but inevitably it’s gonna be off for someone, somewhere in the world. I know when I stream something sometimes the dialogue is so soft and then the music blasts me out the room 😂 and that’s big budget! Let alone our little production here on UA-cam- we do try our best, I promise you that. Thank you so much for watching and so glad you enjoy our videos - hope you have a beautiful day over there!! Phoebe xx ♥️
just magnificent. Well done guys.
Thanks Chilli Dude!!! P xxxxx
This gave me the feels ❤ So beautiful

That sounds amazing!! You’re so generous - if we come back, we’ll let you know 😊💕
Glad you enjoy our country.😍
Hello! Thanks so much for watching, hope you can check out our new video about Outback Australia! Have a great weekend and thanks again - Phoebe x
I’m so jealous I’d love to go south Africa did you fly directly to Kruger or did you fly to Joberg
We flew to Jo'Burg first! It was a long journey but worth it :)
Am I the only who think she looks like "Blake lively" just came across ur videos loving the content 👌
hahaha well, I can't complain about that comparison! Thank you so so much for watching :) Phoebe x
Lol why you whispering 😂
hahaha so I don't scare off the animals! Thanks so much for watching our video and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it. We share a brand new video each Friday! 😀🙌🏻 Have a great day and thanks again - Phoebe x
The Kingdom of Jesus Christ is here and all are invited to the supper of the Lamb.
Thanks for watching!

We have once Francois. We need to get back there though :)
So exciting safari trip in South Africa.
We LOVED it!!
The cats are SO AMAZING!!!!!! So lucky 🐆 🦁 fingers crossed for October!!!
Aren't they spectacular?! We just got back from our second South Africa trip last week and have a brand new Safari video going up THIS weekend :) Should give you even more inspo, I'm sure! You're going to have the most amazing time. Phoebe x
@@travelforphoebe amazing! Looking forward to it 🙌🏼
So nice
am I correct, the Kruger is about 400km x 200km big ? +-.
It's about 2 million hectares, about the size of Israel. That doesn't count the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park and Mozambique National Park which adds about another million all together.
I'm just looking at you.. Damn you beautiful.
Thanks for watching ☺️
She has grand Hair
Good Girl 👍 and Job
You are so lucky to have had a vehicle to yourselves! This is my job to arrange safaris so it is nice to see through your eyes. Will you be visiting Botswana or Zimbabwe?
Hello! We really were - I think because we were there working they took extra care of us and we had a very special experience. Sadly, no, but I've heard they're both beautiful and would LOVE to visit! Thank you so much for watching our video, we really appreciate it. We share a new travel video each Friday evening! Hope you have a fantastic week and thanks again. Phoebe x
@@travelforphoebe sounds awesome. Contact me if you need help with planning your holiday to Botswana or Zimbabwe I would love to help 😊 victoria@indonga.co.za
Ah, you went to the baobab, that's my favourite part of the park, that tree is massive!
Yes, we did!! It was FANTASTIC! the whole experience from start to finish was just... it was the kind of thing you dream of! P x
All the while am thinking how expensive was this safari at the lion sands. Will i ever afford this in my lifetime.. until then we have UA-cam to watch these nature beauty
How much is cost three days including the lodge and food with out the bear or the wine, you are beautiful sister. ..
Hi Ibrahim, you can check the prices for Lion Sands here: www.agoda.com/partners/partnersearch.aspx?pcs=1&cid=1807927&hid=793473
We
great video! we are going in November! wondering if October was the time of year you went? How cold was it in the mornings?
I’m going South Africa 2020 February for 3 weeks
And I have never been on holiday for over a week
Have a great time!
These cats are so used to people, it almost takes the thrill out of the whole experience...
loved watching this! super helpful!
Thank you so much!!!
Great video Matt and Phoebe, which was the tour company you went with?
Hello! Thank you so much - I believe the name of the safari accommodation is in the video 😊 that’s the same place that operated the safari trips!
@@travelforphoebe Thank you.
