The fact that you name the animals and birds is priceless. Top standard videos. Thank you.

Many thanks. I work on the basis that not everybody watching will have visited these places and seen the animals and birds so may not know what others might find obvious. Glad you appreciate the captions.
Great video and camera work. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.

Great footage all the way through. You're a skilled photographer. I love the beautiful, slow pace in your videos. I was there 22 years ago when it was The Kalahari-Gemsbok National Park and am still dreaming of coming back one day...

Thank you very much! You'll probably find a few changes in the camps but the park will be much the same I guess. Still not many vehicles there which is one of the things I love.
Love the video, you are really showing us around this lovely park!

Lovely to haver these to look forward to on a Saturday morning with our coffee. That leopard looked pretty amazing - what views you had. A very hot time of year though

Many thanks for watching. It was certainly hot but, surpisingly didn't feel as hot as the Kruger later on which was a good 5° cooler!
You are exceptionally lucky. My family have been here since 1654 and we still haven't ben fortunate enough to get where you are . Twice. In my dreams will we go there

At one time it was on our bucket list as well but it turned out to be relatively affordable and easily doable. Start planning, start saving! 😄

I am so envious of your sightings!! Just amazing already. We were there late Feb/early Mar, and luck was not on our side (40+ temps too!). Looking forward to more episodes. Keep up the good work.

We were there the first two weeks of February so I hope it wasn't us that scared all the animals away for you! We definitely saw more on this trip than we did in May last year but there were still several very quiet days. Condensing a full day's driving into 15 minutes does tend to give the impression that it's action all the way but, as you know, it's not like that. All you can do is leave camp first thing every morning and trust that lady luck shows her hand.
Thank you for sharing your adventures, since I'm kinda stuck at home, with some breathing and health issues, I really enjoyed the video. God's beautiful creations, oh how beautiful! I hope you both get plenty of rest and fluid in between your adventures and stay safe, Have fun, God bless

Yes it was hot but I was surprised at how well we coped. In a later video I mention that even one of the camp managers was compalining about how hot it was!
What a great start to your trip and beautifully filmed and interspersed with fantastic photos. We are already looking forward to the next episode. By the way which car did you choose for this trip?
@oldcodgerwithacamera
Жыл бұрын
Many thanks for your kind words. The car we 'chose' was a Hyundai Tucson but we ended up with a Toyota Corolla Cross which the agent at Tempest said was a 'better car'. It was perfectly okay and coped well with the Kgalagadi roads. We would have preferred a Fortuner but it was 3.5 times the price!
Awesome videos. Thank you for sharing? Can you tell us what video camera gear you use?
