    I just saw the title of your video and knew exactly where you were heading to. Pangolin Chobe Hotel, one of my favourite places on earth. Thank you for bringing back memories.

    Hey Karolina!!! Great stuff here, Brenda and I even popped up a couple times!! We were with for the dead hippo adventure. Going through my 4500 shots and I’m down to 450 I’m gonna keep! Shinde followed and was terrific also. We could not have imagined a better photo host or driver(NJ) . Much thanks and happy adventures in the future!!!❤️ …….So many great shots….📸 and Pangolin was top shelf!!! Great video!!!!

    We will be taking the same Pangolin Chobe safari next March. Sabine's video ("Take more Video!") convinced me to take as much video as possible, so I'm practicing this year to prepare. Perhaps you could also produce your own video(s) about videography under safari conditions - settings, recording, workflow, data management, etc.? Thanks.

    Hi Karolina, can you tell me how you worked with this group or any group? I find it an amazing opportunity. Yes, I am still learning many things, so am interested in how you were able to do this with Pangolin. I may never get this opportunity and that is ok, but I am also interested in how I might get good videos as well as photographs. It is difficult to get both. Thanks for the video.

    @@loustravels5858 hi! I’ve been working as a photo host for my own business for more than two years now, and worked in the bush for four years before that, so already had experience in the field. How this opportunity came about is they reached out to me asking if I’d be up for freelancing. When it comes to video and photo, I simply switch when I feel like it. Mostly prioritise photo, since it’s my profession, but do video when I’ve already got the photos I want or I feel it’s better for the story. Hope that makes sense 😊
