The Cheetahs with the crocodile!! It made the trip. National Geographic class. Superb! Went to shingwedzi many times, just one cheetah. My best leopards, lions, and elephants come from there. It's my favorite camp.
Makes me homesick watching this :-) Sadly, been nearly 5 years since I was back in the Kruger and travelling the same roads. Thanks for sharing and great work
@@MarkDumbleton I'll have to make a plan. I'm from the West Coast of Canada. I was in Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa in 2008. I also visited Kruger NP. But now I am overdue for a visit. Thanks!
Lovely Mark..fine wildlife and photography...cheers from Manchester UK and a safari enthusiast..(though from experiences in Zambia Tanzania) Bird photography and calls lovely to hear.
One of the best Kruger vlogs I've watched in a long time!! Very cool. And Brilliant sightings. The male Lions chasing the others out look huge! Wonder what happened in the end.
Wow thanks so much! Really stoked to see a comment from you 😊🙏🏻 and thank you for the compliment! Means a lot! Yeah those Lions were big! Apparently they chased out some young males, super cool to see!
Lucky you .. Went for a week around the S56 , and game yes .. Cats only one Leopard for 20 secs on returning trip around the high road before the H1-6 crossing heading Letaba , by the H14 to Phalaborwa was also a beautiful area .Better on game that the one going to Letaba . Also the Shinwedse S50 was quite silent. on cats . I miss the howling of the hyenas and Jackals at night which before i heard in KTP ..but now all of these fantastic sounds after the COVID time KTP Park closure have disappeared ….i wander why .
Thanks for the comment, game viewing can definitely be hit and miss. I too have had trips that yielded very few sightings. Interesting what you say about the sounds at night, I haven’t experienced that decline.
So enjoyed watching all the fantastic birds and animals that you saw on your holiday. Thank you for sharing. I love the Kruger National Park and looking for birds and animals. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Shingwedzi has always been my favourite camp and area. When I was there and Punda Maria a year ago, there was no wildlife around Shingwedzi, whilst Punda Maria was fantastic. I am glad that it seems to have returned to Shingwedzi.
Amazing video Mark! We're actually leaving for Kruger in 3 weeks. Spending 2 nights at Satara. And then meeting up with friends in Shingwedzi and ending off with 2 nights in Pafuri. We usually frequent the south more, so it'll be our first time further north than Letaba. Looking quite forward to it
Thanks for watching Jackie! That sounds like an amazing trip! The south is very productive for game viewing but the traffic is a lot more. The north is amazing, I’m sure you will enjoy it a lot!
@@MarkDumbleton I keep on looking, love your river photos Funny, it's just mostly dry riverbed and veld, but yeah, it's so much more hey. It's all in the feeling. Tip: ever heard of Marloth Park? There you can walk the southern fence of Kruger, for miles. Different feeling than driving, but without a guide that controls everything. Wonderful flood plains views over the croc river. Birds and smells and your own pace
Always great seeing videos about the North. Great video overall honestly. I spent 7 days solo in shingwedzi round about the same time, First day I checked I was told about the cheetahs and crocs however didn't seem them but then the next 3 days produced magic catwise(four leopards in two days) and a couple of lion sightings four days in row, Great Video
Loved this video, the cinematography is beautiful, thanks so much for sharing. We have never been brave enough to self drive in Kruger 🤣 But have really enjoyed Sabi Sand and Timbavati and are 100% addicted to safari
Thanks so much for the comment! You absolutely need to do a self drive in Kruger, it’s incredible! Sank Sands and Timbavati are incredible areas, I can see why you’re addicted! 😊
Really enjoying your channel.. Thanks. I was in Tanzania 20 years ago. Its been far too long. I must get back. Also, I'd love to see some of your images (maybe from raw to final) from this trip (looks like tough lightining). You do such great work, I'm curious to see what you pulled out from this trip. cheers-Greg
Thanks so much for watching Greg, and I appreciate the comment. I’ll see what worthwhile images I have from the trip, but not sure I got anything great and worth sharing. I mostly shot video on this trip.
Really awesome video! Footage looks great and the sightings...well...it can't always be luck, you always find the good stuff :) Looks like you've moved to Sony too?
Thanks so much for watching mate! The sightings were great, but as you know, sometimes we find nothing. I haven’t switched to Sony, just had an opportunity to test drive some Sony gear. I did enjoy it!
@@MarkDumbleton I’ve been wanting to reduce my kit for a while. But I love my 400 f2.8 the Sony 200-600 seems so convenient also the OM 150-400 Will you be sharing some insights on the Sony? Hope so!
That Sony 200-600 was a real winner in my books! And the Sony AF was top notch! Much like the Canon I guess. I definitely would like to share my thought on the Sony gear, hopefully soon.

Thanks so much for watching mate! I hope you will be able to return one day for a trip!
Super footage Mike. I just cannot wait to go back.
Thanks as always Carol! I also can’t wait to go back! I’m addicted 😂
I love your vidoes and photography. This is what it should be. I hope I get lucky to come visit Africa again.
I hope you do manage to visit Africa! It’s a special place! Thanks so much for the comment.

@@MarkDumbleton It's a pleasure! I've subscribed, so will keep a look out for more.
Thank you!!! More to come for sure! Kruger is such an amazing place! Appreciate the sub 🙏🏻
We enjoy watching this with our kids. They can easily follow as there is more than enough animal activity in the video.
Thanks!
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!

So happy you enjoyed it Katy, thanks for watching! I love the Kruger so much too, and I’m happy I could share my trip with you.
Cheetah, waterbuck and crocodiles. Must have been an adrenaline booster. Epic sightings and a great video.
It’s sure was! Incredible to see. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻

Interesting to hear, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Amazing how the movement of wildlife can change in specific areas.
Thanks so much for sharing, greetings from the UK.
Thanks a lot Louise, thanks for watching.
Incredible- must go back!
Thank you. Kruger is fantastic!
EXCELLENT!
Thanks so much Peter! Appreciate it!
I really enjoyed this video! Letaba and Shingwedzi are two of our favorite camps 👍

Absolutely beautiful HD video and editing Mark, really stunning!

The female leopard was just wow
A real beauty right? Thanks so much for watching.
Awesome sightings and amazing footage as always, Mark! Can’t wait to chat to you about your new gear 😎
Thanks so much Villiers, thanks for watching!
Absolutely stunning video. You've done a great job. Can't wait to go to Krüger next july.
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching. Enjoy your Kruger trip next July! Exciting!

Thanks for the comment. I’ve heard of Marloth, never been but it sounds great!
Thanks Mark - excellent video and brings back vivid memories of my 3 visits to KNP (last visit in 2007). Such a fantastic place, we must return.
Thanks for watching David! You have to return, it’s such a special place! What camps did you visit on your trips?
@@MarkDumbleton We've stayed at Skukuza, Lower Sabie, Bergendal & Olifants. I'd like to visit the northern part of KNP next time
Nice! The northern part is my favourite! Satara and Shingwedzi are my 2 favourite spots to visit!
Wonderful, so gentle and beautiful ❤. Went to school with your Mum 😁.
Thanks so much for watching. Awesome, I’ll tell her you commented 😊

Thanks so much for watching Mashudu, and thanks for the comment. That’s an excellent tally of cat sightings. Which roads did you see the cats on?
Loved this video. I recently came back from Zimanga in Zululand and I just loved South Africa. Going to return in a year or so.
Awesome! Hope you had a good time at Zimanga! I absolutely love that place!
@@MarkDumbleton It was incredible. Already planning a return there.
Very nice! Try go in the dry season if you can, August / September then the bush is dry and the animals frequent the waterholes a lot more
Loved this video, the cinematography is beautiful, thanks so much for sharing. We have never been brave enough to self drive in Kruger 🤣 But have really enjoyed Sabi Sand and Timbavati and are 100% addicted to safari
Thanks so much for the comment! You absolutely need to do a self drive in Kruger, it’s incredible!

Thanks Mark, enjoyed the video

Are you allowed to get out on that bridge?
Hi George. Yes you are allowed to get out on the Shingwedzi and Letaba bridges. You just need to stay inside the 2 yellow markers on the bridge.
Wow. Thank you. We are from namibia. And are planing a trip
