A Q&A Safari in Pilanesberg National Park

I took a day trip to Pilanesberg National Park, back to where it all began 9 months ago, to celebrate WildWild Journeys reaching 2K subscribers and to answer all of your questions. Call it a Q&A Safari?
I want to say thank you for being a part of the journey so far. This is really just the beginning of a broader story and without you, none of it is possible. I feel a real sense of community from you here. I hope you get to know myself and WildWild a bit better through this video. Thank you for your questions.

    I read two great quotes last night, Byron. The first one was “Adventure has a way of introducing yourself to yourself” and the second one, which I LOVE, was “Adventure is the respectful persuit of trouble.” I’m sure they’ll both resonate with you as well… I really enjoyed this Q&A video - it’s such a great way to connect with your viewers. And whenever you have those self-doubts in the future, remember we are all rooting for you.

    Not only have we been spoiled with captivating footage, a sense of tranquility but also the calming voice of an eco-philosopher 😊 I’m thinking of staying in South Africa to better enjoy its beauty Where would you recommend for a long term stay around the Kruger? We all look forward to 10k subscribers 🎉

    I’m not sure about eco-philosopher, but thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼 You would not be disappointed. If not too sure about where for a long term stay outside of Kruger. Maybe have a look at Marloth Park? Also depends on budget I guess… I would stay in Kruger for a full experience then maybe move on to another area completely as the rest of the country has so much to offer apart from the bush 💯

    Hello Byron, congrats on 2k subscribers and you deserve much more for all of these amazing videos,thank you for doing a Q&A it helps us to know more about you and what you passion is. ñ Just want to ask where that rock is where you went to in this video n think you said it is in the west of the park because every time we go to pilansburg ñ want to go to that rock but don't know where it is thx🎉💯

    Thanks so much, really happy to have you here. That rock is on Moloto Drive. You go past Batlhako Dam, carry on past the picnic spot then a few kilometers after there is a small turn off to your right. It’s an amazing place to sit with a snack and binoculars - always something to see there 👌🏼
