Really enjoyed your video. I am planning to visit in 2026. Will you be working with Pangolin ?
@@mozzamhosein6476 thanks very much! Don’t know that far in advance yet unfortunately, but hope so!
@@karolinanoreewild are you having workshops in 2026?
@@mozzamhosein6476 I’m planning to, but don’t have any exact dates yet! If you’re interested I can add you to the waiting list 😊
At 9:08, was anyone else yelling at that dude in the boat to put a rear lens cover on his lens?! 😅
Hi Karolina, is it possible to go on a photo shoot or trip with you such as this trip? I know you host some safaris listed on your website, but I am interested more in say a collaboration or learning and helping wildlife trip. I posted a video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p5mCzbyTiNvffto.htmlsi=npkALynYwaQ6eCGr that I would have liked to include some of this video you made or went with you to create my own video.
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!!!!
@@mikehoffman4521 Hey Mike! Yes you guys were there for many of these amazing sightings! It was so great hosting you guys, you have the most amazing positive energy that really is contagious! It was also an honour to see Brenda fall in love with photography! Hope she keeps it up 😄 Well done on going through all the photos, it’s not an easy task! I’m sure there’s some bangers in there! Hope to run into you guys somewhere in the future, all the best! ❤️
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.
@@dragonredlodge that’s wonderful, I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic time! I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future videos 😊
Great video and congratulations on getting to work with Pangolin, they are top notch
@@joejames4231 thanks! Yes it was an honor!
I am going there later this month for the third time in two years and can’t wait to return. This time I am going on the tour recommended in this video, to spend three days on the boat and the rest of the visit at the hotel. This is a great video which fully covers the Pangolin experience, with guides and facilities which are second to none. I highly recommend using Pangolin for a photo safari.
fantastic video, thinking about taken the boat/land tour, what month(s) would you recommend I love taking bird photos, thanks
@@perryelder5045 thanks! I was there in June and it was great for both birds and mammals. But I’m sure you can read more about the different seasons on pangolins website 😊
Awesome video making this place one of my must visit destinations
It looks amazing, what month where you there as I'm not sure when the best time to book with them would be?
I was there in June, but you can have a look at their website where they have more info about other times of the year 😊
Do you think a shimoda action x50 v2 is too large to take on safari from the US? Thank you.
BTW, I am an Olympus shooter so my “big” lens is not so big.
Beautiful footage Karolina, you did amazing job explaining and showing those lovely creatures, etc. Look forward to see more from your talented works. When I can make it there, I definitely would reach out to you. Cheers...
@@narinthip3058 thanks very much appreciate that!
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 😊
@@karolinanoreewild Thanks and yes it makes sense. I see you have trips planned. I will look at your website more.
Great video Karolina, thank you. If you had to recommend 2 lenses to take on the 6 day Pangolin Chobe River and vehicle safari, what would they be please? I shoot full-frame Canon.
@@petejousiffe9386 thanks! I’d say the lenses I used the most for wildlife was my 200-600mm and 70-200mm 2.8, but it all depends on your budget etc. If you have the budget for something like a 400mm 2.8 or even 600mm f4 that’s a fantastic option!
thank you Carolina for your fantastic video. It is very impressive to see how perfect the conditions are to photograph animals at Pangolin. Wonderful and amazing Pictures!
@@roland-heine thanks Roland! Yes it’s an incredible place for photography, so many incredible opportunities!
Excellent video 👏🏻
@@simeonbennettphotography9111 thanks very much!
Looks like an awesome place.
Poor leopard's foot was all swollen up, maybe a tumour. Hoping he/she gets better. And Great Photos 👍
@@stripes_in_raw you’re right, didn’t notice that before! I’m sure she is going to be fine though, she had a kill in a tree when we found her (she is the one in the photos in the tree) and as long as she’s able to hunt she will be fine!
@@karolinanoreewild yeah 👍
I enjoy your videos. I think you may be auditioning to take Danielle's place at Pangolin. If so I hope you get the job.
Thanks very much glad to hear! Sorry to disappoint, this wasn’t an audition, I’m not looking for a full time position since I run my own business, this was just a freelance job 😊
Great video Carolina! As always your photos are superb.
Thank you so much, really appreciate that!
This is such a good photo!
gorgeous images :)
I left South Africa 10 years ago for the UK, but I think of home almost every day.
Ser bra ut Karolina!
Very nice work. Hard to say if the Zebras or the Leopard in the tree is my favorite. Again beautiful work. Wouldn't mind seeing a vid on the nine photos & how you decided to put them together if you feel like doing so.
Thanks very much glad to hear! That’s not a bad idea, will keep that in mind!
Beautiful prints - you have such a great eye for composition! The leopard in the tree and the kudu are my favorites! Can you please share where you get the aluminum and fine art prints printed? Thanks!
Great video!
Really great video!
Amazing pictures and great video! I’m really glad that KZread told me to watch this video. Had to subscribe. I will watch all of your videos.
Thanks so very much, appreciate that a lot!
Just found your channel! Your work is so amazing.
Thank you so much really appreciate it!
Amazing prints 😍
Thank you!
Excellent photos Karolina 👏🏻great video 👍
Thanks very much!
absolutely beautiful photos karolina! the compositional shot of the leopard in the tree is i think my favorite, just like it is yours. i remember you telling us about it on our klaserie workshop and showing us the editing process! the first two i know the practically real-time stories from instagram about how you got them and they are gorgeous too, but so are the serengeti lions with the beautiful landscape! you are just extremely talented and creative, and for me personally the best wildlife photographer out there, my biggest inspiration, roll model & teacher, there’s no question about it!
Oh thank you so much for those kind words Scuba, really appreciate it! 🙌🏽
You have such a nice channel, hope your subscribers will grow fast. Really good camera bag video, I hate when creators don't show how gear fits in the backpack, it's the best part!! It'd be nice to see other gear videos from you. Greetings from Italy!
Thanks so much for these kind words really appreciate it! And this motivates me to keep going 😄
You keep saying "R5" which as a Canon shooter I found confusing.
Hahah sorry there’s more types of R5s 😂
Is it raining in your nose?
Excuse me?
@@karolinanoreewild Hovno
You can shit
Hey! Loved this video!! Was just wondering what hot shoe phone mount that is??
Hi! Thanks very much! This one is from a brand called Puluz 😊
CHECK OUT HEIPI 3-in-1 Travel Tripod IT IS VERY CLOSE TO THE PEAK DESIGN, BUT MORE ADAPTABLE, IT CAME OUT AFTER I GOT MY PEAK DESIGN.
Hi Karolina, nice video, thanks. I am a big Peak Design fan and backed a number of their Kickstarter campaigns including the travel tripod. However, that is the one Peak Design item I cannot recommend. It does fold nice and compact but it is not stable enough particularly with the lowest segment extended. The peculiar cross section shape of the legs may be good for compactness but not for flexural stiffness, which is key to tripod stability. I sold mine (carbon version) about a year ago. Cheers, Urs
Hi! Thanks very much for letting me know highly appreciate the advice. Is there another tripod that small and lightweight for travel that you recommend? :)
I had high hopes in the Benro Theta, but they took a number of wrong decisions at the end of the campaign and I will try to get my Kickstarter pledge refunded. I opted for the Max version. With Theta no longer being a viable choice I look into established brands like Gitzo, RRS, Promedia Gear, perhaps also FLM. Peak Design probably wins the compactness/lightweight competition on all accounts though, if that goes on cost of stability it is not a good compromise for me. That does depend on use case though. The PD will certainly fair better than your current super cheap tripod. Cheers, Urs
I had the Sony 200-600mm 5.6-6.3 G Lens, I sold it because it is a bit too big and heavy for hiking and sometimes there was trouble with the stabilizer system in combination with the cameras IBIS which led to slightly blurred images. Now I got the Sigma 500mm 5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens, which is very compact and Light weight, no trouble hiking for hours just holding it in your hands, I can recommend the Sigma.
Hi, nice purchase the Sigma. Doesn't bother you cannot use 1,4x and 2x tc? Have you tried it with Sony tc or have you just switch to L mount? I thought it was the perfect 200-600 substitute, now I think I have to buy the 300 2.8, but double the price
@@ph_anto No it does not bother me, I would not use teleconverters anyway ! I needed I crop from 61 megapixels, I still have 26 megapixels in APSC mode and that I can also crop from. I thought o buying the Sony 300mm 2.8, but then the Sigma 500mm 5.6 was announced and I ordered it. The Sony 300mm 2.8 is double the price plus teleconverters ! It is a mess to use teleconverters. I am happy with my choice of the Sigma 500mm 5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens, I have used it a lot since March, it is very easy to use and you can hike with it in your hands for a long time without problems. About 300mm, sometimes I use my Sony 135mm 1.8 GM as a "300+mm", just cropping from 61 megapixels, still very sharp images !
@@cameraprepper7938 That's what I thought. I would use it with A7RV or A1 with crop mode, but with 200-600 and 300+2x in apsc I'd still have 900mm, with Sigma only 750. Due to centuries of unregulated hunting, here in Italy mammals and birds are very shy and millimeters are never enough. Anyway, thanks for your report!
I use pretty much the same camera gear and love it. My current backpack is the Lowepro tactical BP 350 AW II, which is great, but doesn't carry any extra, it doesn't even have side netting pockets for water bottles which still surprises me. I have extra tactical pouches, but they can fall off. Would love to know how much the fully laden backpack weighs in this video weighs, it looks awesome ❤
Thanks! I haven't actually weighed the fully packed backpack, but think its around 12kg in total :)
Please keep going your videos, I found this video very informative.
Thank you that's great to hear and definitely motivates me to make another one!
Man do I hate human beings sometimes, but you guys are just fantastic !!!
Much to heavy equipment .... and with my OM-SYSTEMS equipment I have lighter portable equipment with 3 cameras (OM-1 , E-M1X , E-M1II) 6 lenses 300mm f4 pro , 150-400 F4.5 Pro , 12-40 F2.8 Pro , 40-150 F2.8 Pro , 2 teleconverter 1.4 and 2.0 , and lens 7-14mm pro f2.8 Pro , and a 17mm f 1.8 for night . I am not a pro but I travel with this kit for years and put it in a Peak Design Bag. and Cube medium for the big lens and the cube large other lenses. In the bag chargers , big Garmin (street nav) , DJI Copilot 2TB , and a 10.5 inch iPad Pro. The cubes I can take out during the trip in the car so easy to separate . SD card holders are much too big for me... ! By the way all goes with me during the flight in the overhead storage . OM-System has no problems with dust .. even not during weeks in Kalahari .
what is your social links and how does one contact you for photographic safaris
Hi! My instagram is karolinanoreewild and you're welcome to contact my on [email protected] for photographic safaris or check out my workshops on my website karolinanoree.com :)
How much does the full bag weigh?
Is the bag to big for a carry-on ?
No it's perfect size for carry on :)
Thanks - Does the Shimoda cube have a frame and keep its shape or is it quite soft/malleable?
It's a very sturdy frame, which keeps everything in place :)
