    It has been some years since I have hung around the Wild Earth crew on the daily safaris. So it was both heartbreaking and thrilling to hear my favorite guide crush utter the word "wife". Congratulations! Upon googling to find the details, I see that I am rather late to the party... but what delightful news and I hope the honeymoon phase is still going strong. I am glad to see that marriage seems to have only improved everything talented and lovable about you, James. Thank you to you and the family for sharing this adventure through this work of art and humor.

    As a fan of paleontology, that image of the buffalo skeleton upright in the mud surrounded by carnivores is profound to me.

Both quality of video and music. I loved everything but I have to say those carmine bee eaters are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, it's the closest I am likely to get. Happy and healthy new year to you both and your families! Can't wait for the next episode and a live chat!

    Some gorgeous Fauna. The addition of Birdlife anywhere invigorates and brightens up any scene. The Lions thankfully appeared friendly or they were still digesting their last meal and/or bipeds aren’t quite to their taste........ Looking at that Buffalo’s skeleton reminds me that I’ve heard that there’s an appalling drought going on in Zimbabwe right now and it’s been the case for a few years now. Just how dire is it at the moment?....... Thank You for another great post.......... ☮️⚛️ 💚🐾 🌏

    Wow James, those trees after you left the Zimbabwean airport were mind-blowingly gorgeous. Their beautiful purple flowers reminded me of the purple lilacs that only come out once a year here, May-June. Do you know their species, please?
    The red birds flying around the waterhole are gorgeous!! Our most common red bird is the beautiful male Cardinal, however the tawny female is really quite pretty herself.
    I know the rooftop camping is for safety not fun, but it *does* look quite fun!
    How brilliant that you are so close to your in-laws that you will actually vacation/work together!- l know we marry our spouse, not their entire clan, but it is the most beautiful thing when you do embrace each other!👌🏻💖
    Thank 💐 You for taking us along for this visually stunning journey!😄👏🏻
    Travel safely (🦁🐗🐍🐆🐃🐘🦏🦡🦛🕷️🦂 will likely be much more painful than covid😉). "Happy Trails to you!!" 🌍🍀🕊️🐾🌈🇨🇦

    After so many delays it's so nice to see the first in the series. Have to say when flying I like to sit where I can see the wings, something so cool about the way they flex, I understand that some might find it disturbing but after doing some engineering and seeing how they do a destructive test on a wing it's quite reassuring how they move. Glad there were some lifer birds too.
