Best camera is the one that you have with you. You created a great video with an iPhone. Good job.

I don’t care if it is about bikes or not. I see Alee, I hit like.

Beautiful!!! Still... I haven't seen a single bicycle in this video. Just kidding - loved the material.

But fossil fuel vehicles.

Thank you both for sharing your experience and I hope the rest of your adventure in Africa is equally amazing. I look forward to seeing your next video. Good luck with all, you are both inspiring ✌️

The quality of service is impressive: here's your plane, luxurious tent with professional cooks in the middle of nowhere, a car with a knowledgeable English speaking guide and security (all the crew seem to be lovely fellas)... and most importantly myriads of wild life species chilling in your presence. Who knows, maybe that theft has not only been a valuable lesson, but also saved you from much more catastrophic losses in the future.

Amazing in so many ways. Inspired choice of music.

I honestly wouldn't have known this was shot on an iPhone! The quality is 100x better than most videos I see on here! Do you use manual settings on your iPhone? My iPhone footage never looks this good despite having the latest model. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! This is all standard iPhone camera settings. Shot in HDR.

Sweet.

.-) I've been waiting the whole time to see you come around the corner with your new bike and test the new tires between the lions and elephants...just kidding, nice video - thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing

Sorry to hear about you having your equipment stolen, but the iPhone is pretty darn good. I would never have known that this is not your regular equipment.

That was amazing. I would definitely go there if I plan on a safari. Now I'm going to watch the next video in my recommended list: _"30 Times African Safaris Went Horribly Wrong."_ ;-)

I would so love that. For me there is something kind of spiritual about real nature. Am currently reading Ray Mears book We Are Nature, wherein he explains a lot about stalking to see such things but there you just need to go for a drive! I would even love listening to all the night noises to get a feel of what's going on and maybe next life come back as a Lion as seems to have it's good points lol, though that big old male looked kind of sad.. You can see how it's all in balance and connected and based on simple grass and rain. Those leopards are so beautiful. Love the guide explaining all and what a lucky guy but he's probably so used to it that it's just another nothing special day.

Less bikes, more yikes...I likes. 😊

HY!! Tks for the vlog. Do you know of any companies that do good/budget safaris for families? Thanks.

which month would n the year this trip was made? Look nice to try it near future. Thanks for sharing ❤

We visited in January.

I’m interested in knowing what month you were at Pom Pom. Looks very lush!

We stayed in January. It was a bit wet at times but the rain was usually over quickly.

Thanks! Will be there in late March.

Another “one of your best” videos, I hope National Geographic contacts you ASAP

May I ask......where was your equipment stolen? Maun? SA? Another camp?

At a camp in Botswana. It seems that people have worked out that tourists are relaxed about their belongings while at remote camp sites (three cars were broken into at our camp in one night).

Ah man, that theft must have been devastating for morale, wallet and even portfolio I suppose. Has it happened to you before?

This was the first time I’d ever been robbed!

I am so torn about this...on one hand conservation is important...maybe if humans learn about animals they will want to protect them....but on the other hand...going into these spaces is dangerous for both the humans and the animals.if an animal protects their space...they pay with their lives,all because humans just have to insert themselves into every single space....like they have'nt taken enough from these amazing animals.

This is even more complicated than that. Thanks to tourism people have work and they don't become poachers, for example. This is of course still an oversimplification. There are no simple answers to conservation problems. It is always a compromise. I don't think we should exclude people from the natural world. We rather should seek solutions benefiting us all. We are a part of this world - we just need to relearn how to live in balance with other creatures. Easier said than done, though.
