Thank you Marlon for showing me how beautiful my country is #Zim🇿🇼

Fantastic video - going there in 2 weeks 😊😊😊

I have been on many safaris across southern and east Africa, and Mana is a special place that has a magnetic pull to it. Been there twice already and plan to return many times in the future!

We were blessed to visit Mana Pools in 2018 and it was as magical as you have described. The best food we had on our entire stay in Africa too.

Great video Marlon, can't wait to watch some more of your videos!

Amazing video and great footage ... waiting for more and more great stories from the wild !!

Thanks my friend, appreciate the support!

Wow, didn't know about Mana Pools. ON my List now

Mana Pools!! It's calling to me!! I can't wait to come on safari!! I'm so happy that you started a KZread channel!! This is perfect for you! You're such an amazing story teller both in your photos, videos and in your narrations!! Thank you Marlon!!

Mana pools is the jewel in all the parks of Zimbabwe, which are so diverse in what they offer. Mana pools is like the wild inquisitive, yet genius kid. Hwange is the adult mature kid, where the presidential herd reside(elephant population of gigantic proportion). Matusadona/Chizarira, always provide the best black rhino residency, and Gonarezhou is part of the transfrontier park, incorporatinH 3 parks within 3 countries. However, Mana Pools stands apart from the other parks for its wilderness forests, diversity of flora and fauna, and unspoilt wildrrness. Welcome home guys to Mana Pools.

Nice video Marlon. My new favorite KZreadr!

I visited Mana Pools in the 1990 's , would love to visit again when world travel opens up again

Thank you very much Damian, I appreciate that alot. It’s about time I get on to here and you can expect most of my future focus to be here. Thanks for the support!

Marlon well said … Mana is my home land I have photographed there over many years .. my longest stay was near a month and even that is not long enough.. it definitely will steal your heart and you always come back again and again.. it is a place I call “ Heaven on earth “ ! It’s so very pristine and unique unlike any other national wildlife park in all of Africa. No place in Africa will offer a better landscape and that beautiful light is something unique again. It’s paradise beyond words . Great work on this blog . Much appreciated !

@@sirclassics_uk hi there I think you are directing your comment to Marlon ? Maybe just use the comments bar instead! But yes you are correct in what you say … Some South Africans abuse the Mana area and leave litter etc around. It’s often spoken about in the friends of mana group on fb .

@@rhodesia1578 Yeah ..thanks the comment was meant for Marlon, anyway are you saying that most of South Africans visit mana pools and leave litter everywhere?

@@sirclassics_uk I would say some of them as it’s not entirely fair to say most or all , there are also some locals from Zimbabwe who are also contributing to litter . But it’s also people who over speed around the park creating unnecessary dust . Some drive off the designated roads which is not permitted , in doing so they ruin the natural landscape leaving vehicle tracks all over . I have personally witnessed this behaviour many times . So it’s just a matter of respecting the park and respect the rules . That includes the Zimbabwe people themselves .

@@rhodesia1578 Eyy...that's so bad I don't know why many people take advantage of Zimbabwe losen rules .I watched a lot of these animal documentaries and it's really sad.

This is superb. I have been wishing to visit mana pools but don't know from where to start. Outstanding video.

November, 2020. I spent a week at Mana. I had the entire park to myself. I recall only seeing two other vehicles during the week, both were staff vehicles. No other tourists to be found. The most magical place on earth.

Stretch is a family friend of ours, we in New Zealand and dying to come home for a holiday and visit their place! Thank you for the video, always good seeing snipets of home and getting good reviews.

2:40 "...and the animals for the most part..." Reminds me of two old sayings... It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. Don't try this at home children.

I hope we meet next year!

Awesome video bud. Great photography and professionally presented and edited. Keep it up I’d put my money on your channel exploding soon. 🤙🏻🤙🏻👊🏻

Hello Marlon, curios what product do you use to get your hair to stand up. Thanks

Thank you marlon

You could’ve showed more of Mana pools and narrated in the background, People don’t click on the video to see you telling a story,

I wish they would leave mana wild. Too many camps etc have gone up there.
