I got excited and thought this video was 150 minutes 😂
Ha!
😅
Simply Awesome! I don't know how I missed this, but I'm glad that it popped up!
Thanks for bringing us along. ❤
Oh my! Thanks for sharing this drive with us. Cheetahs are my favorite Safari animal. For as fast as they are they are so elegant. Daniel did a great job! Beautiful shots!
Welcome back. Really appreciate your sharing a little peak into your safari.
That was a fun watch! Nicely done.
So cool!
Steve that was spectacular photos and videos. It's look like your having a great time. Enjoy the rest of your adventure. Thanks for sharing!!!!!
I feel so fortunate to have been able to go on a safari in 2016. I have been on a lot of vacations, but nothing tops a safari.
Well that went straight to awesome! Thanks for posting.
The less-than-perfect shot of the cub was perfect and the cheetah images were amazing!
WOW! The going up the tree at 9:46 was amazing. Great timing, great capture!
One of my favorite places on the planet. Thank you so much for sharing. You did get lucky with the leopard!
Awesome Steve. Nothing on Earth like an Africa Photo Safari for people like us.
Great video ending as always! And of course awesome photos too!
You're living the good life Steve, congrats!🏆
Great!
Fabulous, incredible, WoW! Love the interactions you captured!
Many thanks!
Just. Stunning. Thanks Steve. Thanks Daniel.
Glad you enjoyed it👍
Amazing! On my bucket list
Thanks Steve for sharing this, really needed this as I am craving this so much. Been there for two times(2018 & 2019) and not been able to go back since.
Steve. I can relate to that big smile on your face. Getting great shots puts a big smile on my face too… along with goose bumps. Thanks so much for sharing your special shoot with us. I felt like I was there with you. I’m patiently waiting for your next video.
🙏
Wow, Steve!, Holy-moley! These shots are nothing short of epic. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Thanks for bringing us along.
Glad you enjoyed it
What amazing photos- l’m drooling likes those giraffes- would love to be there. Your blogs are always inspirational- thanks for the glimpse of your photo excursion.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic shots! When you got all excited and the go pro dropped, the anticipation of what you were seeing was killing me!
Ha!
fabulous! Thanks for logging!
Thank you for sharing an Africa vlog! Loved to watch it, truly incredible!
WOW!!! That's all I've got to say, that and thanks for sharing Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it
Steve, yes was 1 of my all time favorite videos of yours. The photos and the experience were priceless. Thank you so very much for sharing this amazing adventure.
Glad you enjoyed it👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is such a treat to see you doing what you love best. And the results are truly amazing! Wishing you a safe trip home, and I am looking forward to see more of your Africa wildlife photos!
🙏
I'm glad you were able to vlog in Africa. It is truly wonderful to see. Also, if you need to drop the go-pro to get the image, do it, I'm sure that most of your subscribers, being mostly photographers themselves, understand completely. Glad to see your videos again. If you are still in Africa, enjoy.
Great shooting as usual, Steve.
Oh my. Thanks for taking us along. Wonderful video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome is an understatement, thanks so much for sharing Steve ;)
I had to watch this one again after getting back from the Mara in August. It was a lot greener when you were there. We had a great time in Africa, would love to go back sometime.
So cool! so inspiring!
I loved this Steve. The photos you made were amazing.
Thanks so much!
Wow! So cool! Beautiful and awesome!
Completely amazing Steve. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome Steve. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome, indeed! Incredibly beautiful captures of the big cat. Swoooon!
Thank you very much!
Really entertaining video Steve. Well done 😀👍😀
Looks like a great Trip Steve, stunning wildlife, surroundings and of course Photography. Very very nice 👍🏻

Nice sunset shot! 🐆 in the 🌳 was also 🔥
Thanks for the vlog Steve, that was a great experience. Love the cheetah photos
Wonderful stuff Steve. Your enjoyment of the experience really came across in this video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very enjoyable! Love the idea of photographing in Africa!
Not sue a safari would have been on my list ...
But seeing this with you has me thinking.
Thanks for the great content.
Hi Steve, an amazing video! I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing! Mask Mara looks like an amazing place with an abundance of photographic opportunities. Maybe someday I will get to experience it, but for now I’ll live vicariously through your blogs!
Such an awesome experience, Steve. Thank you for taking us along. I always look forward to your vlogs. Wonderful shots of the lion cub.
👋👋👋
Glad you enjoyed it
That was fun! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for letting us tag along with you!!
Thanks so much. I probably will never get the opportunity to go on an African safari so it’s wonderful that you share yours. Great stuff. Look forward to more. 🦁🦒🐆
It is a wonderful experience. Work on it! Greetings from Jamaica
This day was like striking gold! Thank you for taking me/us along for the ride as I would have liked to have been there grabbing shots as well.
That Cheetah...boom!
Boom👍
wow!!
Brilliant, its soooo difficult to vlog and nail the shot. I have been a few times, but still want more. Never happy and need to manage my expectation. Thanks for sharing
Simply incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you sir 🙏

Felt like I was there! Thanks Steve!
What an experience! Thanks for sharing the adventure.

Hey Steve. Are you going to give us the pleasure of seeing your top 20 photos of 2022? Your videos and photos are amazing. Keep up the great work!!!!
Yes, soonish
Fantastic as always Steve...made me wish I could have made the trip...great images, can't wait to see more!
Maybe next time my friend...
I commented before watching the whole video, the leopard photo was incredible. The cheetah was amazing, I just need more of this.
This is just awesome! Thank you for sharing part of your adventure. All of the pictures were wonderful, but that cheetah on the termite mound was amazing.
Do I know you, bro? :)
@@RogerZoul 😃 Yes you do
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mate we loved that,
Wish you did more in Africa. Beautiful photos.
Me too!
Love the video. Great shot of the cheetah at sunset. Awesome to run into you! I’m still procrastinating of making videos.
Thanks buddy! I need to give you a call soon to catch up👍
Fantastic video Steve 👍
Thanks 👍
You are such a great teacher Steve. The whole video was wonderful but for me the leopard going up the tree was the best . I'm going to try to copy that with my tabby back here in Wyoming.
Thanks! And good luck with that... 😂
Yay, African vlog!
Super video and great images!
Thanks!
The last sunset and the leopard in the tree.....Incredible!
🙏
Hi Steve, a wonderfull oportunity beeing alone in a car with a excelent driver, great video, good pics!
Been there july 1992, with a Nikon F3 and a Fe2, a dont know the brand anymore 100 - 300mm and a 500mm mirror lens. And Kodachrome 64 ;-))
Should try to digitalise the slides now with the best tech on market...
Wish i had the possibilities of now then ;-))
We did a 2 month trip, Kenia and Tansania, Safari, treking, Mt. Kenia and Mt. Kilimanjara, diving, having a great time...
And sincwe so me tie i think about going there again...
You make the feeling bigger!
Thanks a lot!
WOW
There are many YT photographers who are sensational but your amusing gaffs and go pro mishaps makes me feel like I too may someday overcome my inexperience. I understand a true artist makes it look easy but thank you for all the beauty and kernels of wisdom!
Haha thank you 🙏
Wow, great shots, but the little dude lion nursing was amazing!
Yes it was!
Great footage. Awesome photos
Thanks!
Great video Steve
Thanks 👍
How about some shots of the vehicle layout. Your bag, Sun and rain protection
AWESOME!! And painfull LOL!! I took my wife and three kids there in February 2018 for 9 days and I recognize some of the areas you showed. One of my daughters still has the Kenya bead bracelet on that she got there, it NEVER comes off!!! Gotta do it again!
Amazing photos Steve. The giraffe 🦒 photos were 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks buddy🙏
Awesome, really nice experience, lucky you!!!
Yes it was!
Love the video! Cracked up with that comment about the Go Pro 😂.
🙏
Great video. I am planning a Safari in Tanzania as soon as I can… I can’t afford a 400 and a Z9, but my 100-400 plus TC and my Z6II (waiting for something new) hopefully will be good for that
Awesome stuff, Steve!!👏🏻
Are you planning another book from all of your Africa work? I hope so!!
Books are sooooo much work and I can't find the time...
safi sana...
Wow amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
👍👍👍👍👍
This was absolutely amazing! I am planning to go to Tanzania in June. Still undecided what lens I’ll bring. I’ll have 2 cameras for sure. One for closeup, the other for wider views. Hard choice between heavy, big, sharp and creamy background or versatile, light, small and busy background. Nothings perfect!
You can't go wrong either way 👍
Just yesterday I was thinking, when will Steve be back and share his adventures with us... And wala... You posted today... AWESOME stuff man...
Glad you enjoyed it!
too tired for a short drive in the afternoon? When you are there? You wouldn't have been so lucky with me! ;-) Fantastic sightings! Thank you for sharing!! More more more...
It does get exhausting when you are there for three weeks, going non stop every day....
👍🏾
ah, you've awakened my Africa itch again....
Was getting ready to write a comment at the end and then that sunset made me start crying...
Magic 👍
I went to East Africa Dec 24 2001/Jan 24 2002. I had a 2.1 MP Kodak camera at that time. It wasn't really possible to crop in post. It had digital zoom, and you didn't have to worry about changing lenses, because you couldn't. :)
Some of these deer-like critters (deer, elk, moose, bison...) curl up their upper lip so some scent particles land on an extra scent gland - particularly if a female-in-heat is nearby.
You probably already know this, but the male giraffes are not just being friendly - they are sniffing the posterior of the female (her urine) to judge if she is in heat yet. If she was, they would be bashing their heads against each other to see who would be her 'boyfriend'.
Cheetah like to find a high spot so they can see longer distances. Leopards do of course. I have also seen lions climb acacia trees as well - big males maybe up 2 meters. They do have difficulty climbing down though.
I am jealous. I may have to go back soon.
Brilliant to see first hand experience of shooting in the field in Africa. So glad you made the vlog… I’d be very interested to find out if you managed to get the 400mm f2.8 lens hood in the Gura gear bag.
Yes no problem 👍
🤯Fantastic!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it. How did you film and photo the leopard climbing the tree at the same time?
It must be breathtaking being there, your photos certainly were stunning👍👍👍👍
Two cameras👍
You made some excellent photos but I especially liked the giraffe photo with just the neck of one sticking up in the foreground. Thanks for squeezing us in. Wish I could have been there if only to handle the GoPro for you.
Many thanks!
