    This is marvelous! The lions, the springboks, the music. And the zebras grazing in the background, acting too cool for school.

    Hoo Ra. Spectacular. The vistas with rays of light streaming from the clouds. Tri focus of hunting lion, running impala, and grazing zebbies. Masterpiece! The zebra, the bat ear foxes, the jackals, lion fur ball, bugs and birds. Yes! All yes!

    Wonderful photography !! Those poor lions . They had as much chance of catching. Now if it had been an All Black . Well enough said . a Springbokken as a British Lions fullback would have of tackling a Springbok winger in full flight for the tryline. Now if it had been an All Black. Enough said.

    The footage of the lion walking along with the springbok & zebras was incredible to see. Then the lion walking inbetween the hundreds of springbok like she was at a smorgasbord taking her time to choose her meal. It is a shame you had to go back to the camp while it was still light. Awesome video as always. Hi from Queensland Australia 💖

    ( I’ve made sure my peepers are well and thoroughly in working order for this episode. So I don’t go thinking the Lion are Springbok and vice versa. Or thinking any of the birds shown in this episode are Antelope) ....... I still can’t get over such graceful and aesthetically pleasing looking Antelope coming out with vocalisations like they at times do......... And I know all good adventures have an ending but still I don’t want the next episode to be the last in this series. It’s been a thoroughly enjoyable brief sojourn in Mother Nature’s wonderful playground ............ ⚛️☮️ 💚🐾 🌏

    These are my thoughts watching this episode: Waking up to beautiful Jackals! Sighhhh.. The Zebra camera work made me laugh! Im so sure thats the same Zebra that photo bombed last time! Very cheeky with the whistling! Loved it! The clouds were impressive. The, Pale Chanting Gosh hawk was fascinating to watch as it tried to break up the dung lump. Love Elephants, can never get enough of the grey beauties! The Bat Eared Foxes where delightful! I must say I was pretty impressed by the Springboks. Very brave being near the Lions like that! Last but certainly not least, the music through this episode was sooo enjoyable. Thank you both James and Kirsten so much for a wonderful episode. Just about my favourite so far. Blessings always
