Wamkilekile - Adventures of the Transkei
Ойын-сауық
Our last episode here in South Africa is your classic tale of adventure, and like all good adventures, everything must go wrong in order for it to go right! In “Wamkilekile: The adventures of the Transkei” Koa and I take all kinds of twists and turns amongst the rugged terrain that's the “Wild Coast”. We find a giant sea cave and attempt to surf through it, run into @Bloudam and dove the murkiest-shakiest waters I’ve ever been in, and we meet an incredible local boy by the name of “Moush” who takes us around his home and introduces us to the village Sangoma, a witch doctor!!
Thank you at Vulkani Back Packers and Swell Sco lodge for hosting us!
Thank you, Koa Smith ( @itskoasmith ) for becoming my co-host haha.
Thank you Cory Martin for being the best human and a fantastic DP

Sam. I watched this video as a filmmaker in South Africa and my first thought was, sh*t, no one I know could tell this story better and do our country a better service than showcase where we are from like this. Thank you! Did you ever make it to a town called Knysna?

The Kei is beautiful!!! This is my backyard. Playgrounds in Paradise. All praise to our Creator , Jehovah
Never even heard of this channel but the algorhythm finally got one right. This series has made my soul smile brighter with each episode. Thank you for creating this. Everyone needs to watch so they can see the world through peacefilled eyes. Hugs
Don't ever.....I mean EVER stop filming 📽️ You have a gift Sam You are a natural born story teller and a badazz cinematographer you speak from the the heart and you see things which most people overlook. That's a gift man. Keep rolling brother ✊
Dude, I'm half way through and I am just in awe. I'm literally in college for film and this is better than 90% of the things the students are making. The sound design, the color correction, the editing, the audio quality, everything is top notch. So so impressed. This is Netflix level production and storytelling. Keep it up.

@@CaptainPotter Great minds think alike... I was just looking at a volunteer trip opportunity in Belize around marine conservation. Lots of scuba involved, which I haven't done but would love to learn. Hoping I can make it work this summer... we'll see. In the meantime, I'm off to Ireland in a couple weeks for a driving tour of the Emerald Isle with friends. Yewww!
No way… we are so impressed at how you caught the rogue drone! We’ve already lost one drone and know the STRESS of technology going wrong. Anyway, as always, a beautiful video. The way you tell the stories of the wonderful people around you is very inspiring 💪🙌

I've watched 4 episodes of "Back to the wild" now, and it's the greatest shit i've ever seen. Way more capturing than any documentary or other similar tv show that could have shown the story, and with far better story telling than anything i've ever seen on KZread. It is honestly a surprise that this channel doesn't have millions of subscribers.
the beauty captured during your adventures is so inspiring, and truly warms my heart. Thank you for the 18 mins of pure joy and contentment. It's really interesting because I am "American"...well on an application I have to mark "African American" even though I have no family ties to Africa as I know it. So, I noticed that while watching this, I have an endearment in my heart towards the locals but , I also share a strong connectivity to you and your team as well. Because as American's, we are one culture. I don't know if that makes sense, either way... all of it combined was pretty gnarly. Keep up the great work guys! It's perfection.
I like how all the kids were munching on sugar canes 😁

Swimming in the murky shark water is so gnarly
I don't comment on videos often, but I mean, the cinematography was amazing, the sequence where you clean the fish in the ocean and cook it is just so beautiful. Definitly one the best video I've seen.
Beautiful video, it captured Coffee Bay so well and really tell the story of how our people will treat and welcome you. I just cringed on the part we’re you had the kids so full in the car, it was not safe to do that but all good because no one was hurt. Next time come to Port St Johns or Mbotyi Lusikisiki
everyone. drop everything and absorb this series. amazing. inspiring. wholehearted.
Such an incredible series! So much life and beauty.

So much joy and stoke in this one! It was awesome seeing the hole in the wall from the air! Spearfishing in low vis, whales, dolphins, waves, hanging with the kiddos, seeing an herbalist when you weren't feeling well and so on. I literally could have watched this as a full length feature!
Okay surfing through sketchy spaces and spearfishing in murky white shark waters is cool and all, but did yall see this dude catch the drone?!!!? Lol thanks for putting a smile on my face and making today a bit lighter than it was 18 mins before. :)
