WARNING - Not for sensitive viewers. Mother Nature can seem so unfair and cruel. However, it is moments like this that will instil the confidence & known-how in this young cheetah, so that one day soon they will be able to hunt, capture and ultimately kill. For without these skills, they themselves will not survive. This footage was captured in March 2024 on the southern plains of the Serengeti...

Are you sponsored by Olympus im looking to upgrade and id like a non bias view
do they like its taste?
Good video
🫳🏼 👍🏼
Wonderful trip ! What are the rules in the Lower Zambezi about getting out of the vehicle to shoot? I know you can do it in Mana Pools, but I wasn't aware it was allowed in Lower Zambezi as well.
I have alot of books with Tim being photographed also Ulysses , i'm honored to see him every time , majestic creature beautiful.
Fantastic video. Thank you.
way to much of you and way too little of what was seen - couldnt watch half of it - just trying to help you get views
Thank you very much for your comment and advice, we are sorry the report didn't live up to your expectations. Have a look at Mike's gallery and written piece here wild-eye.com/trip-report-treasures-of-the-lower-zambezi/ should you wish to see some of the awesome images captured and sightings experienced.
Beautiful narration and feels like i was in the safari along with you.Good job✌️
Thank you so much! We will definitely let Mike know that you enjoyed the report! Click here wild-eye.com/trip-report-treasures-of-the-lower-zambezi/ to check out the full report including some awesome photographs from Mike.
Glad to see that Pinky the Poser is still around 🎉
She is such a wonderful cat and every time one of our guides heads to the Lower Zambezi, they can't wait to catch up with her and her sister.
Fleisch mit Fleisch gefüllt. Wie ich's auch mag. Oder so gesagt Kaiserschnitt auf die harte Tour 😋
Very nice. I also like to add-in a very subtle vignette, to increase the sense of 3-D and direct the viewer’s eyes towards the subject.
It really is such a powerful editing option, that works for just about everything other than shots with a bit to much sky. Thanks for the comment!
hello I am 9 years old and just by watching your videos it looks so fun .I cannot wait to come with my family
“Nature is beautiful” At that time Nature..
The confusion about ISO (pronounced 'eye-soh' according to the International Organization for Standardization) is that people think that it's something that it is not - because so many popular sources get it wrong. ISO is just a guide to setting exposure - an 'exposure index' in the jargon. Exposure is determined by scene luminance, shutter speed and f-number and it's low exposure not 'ISO' that causes the noise. If you don't have much scene luminance, need a fast shutter speed and have as low an f-number as you have what are you going to do? You've got more chance of a workable shot if you press the shutter button than if you don't, so you press it and see what you can do with it.
Did you forget to turn the lights on?
he forgot to raise his ISO ; )
It is on m43 😄 But yes, there are some amazing denoising tools available these days.
Late arrival to this news and having only just recently learnt about the very special, but rare Tuskers who still roam this planet, makes me all the more sad that the world has lost such a magnificent Titan of the savannah. This video and the photos and footage that exist of him are all we now have left to remember the life of Tusker Tim who clearly left his dusty footprints on the hearts and minds of so many who admired him. RIP big boy😢
Gerry can’t thank you enough for persuading me to go on the Svalbard expedition. It was simply amazing!
Was so great sharing the experience with you!! Thanks for making it another amazing Wild Eye adventure!! :) G.
What a great trip we had!
Natures cruelty!
This is torture🥹🥹
It isn't easy to watch. However, it is fascinating!
Well, nature is cruel. They didn’t just kill that prey. . . they terrorized it first.
Not an easy ending at all. But very valuable lessons for the young cheetah. Often, we find the mother will eventually kill the prey due to the cubs taking too long and potentially attracting other predators.
Great story. I can't wait to travel with you guys again.
That baby has helped the dogs live a day longer away from extinction.
Damn!
Shame, Gerry, we didn’t see any photos from your trip.
Very impressive demo, covering many aspects of the software (photoshop in particular) I was unfamiliar with. I’ll definitely be saving and referring back to this one; thanks!
Thank you, we will be sure to let Gerry know about your comment :)
Wow what a great tutorial!
thank you so much for your comment, we are so glad you enjoyed the video!
Handsome guy hopefully he is still around.
Training day. Good job cheetah mama 👍
Great job
Wonderful
I’d actually just crop the shot the way you zoomed in at 13:30, as that puts the attention on the cub where it belongs.
They're just playing with dead meat that's all
This is the most exciting, beautiful country in the world to be so close and enjoyable wild animals. ❤🌹🙏🥰🩵
Good morning handsome. I enjoy your videos and I thank you for sharing with so many beautiful and exciting animals especially the one you sent me with the elephant drinking water from the swimming pool. God bless you 🙏. Good luck on getting the power pack.
Exciting!!
Fabulous compilation. Magnificent shots. Exhilarating scenery. High quality presentation. Beautifully done!!
涙が止まらない…ティム,ずっと大好きだよ🐘💕ティム,沢山の愛をありがとう🐘💕この動画を見た全ての人々にに,沢山の幸福が訪れる事を願っています✨ティムの美しい魂に光あれ✨感謝🌏🐘✨
And then they say Humans are the most cruel animal.
You don't see wild dogs using live specimens for vivisection or using a nuclear weapon on another species
You see the unequal tusks on most of the last big male tusker Elephants because the ones with the symmetrical tusks where killed by poaching and this one when it was younger was nit a desirable target vs the others. 15 years ago You would be able to see huge male big tuskers and both tusks would be equal shape and size and both the size of this Elephants right tusk.
Thank you for bringing back this series after a gap. This series is just awesome and I have always been a fan and learnt a lot.
We are so glad to receive this comment, thank you very much! We will be sure to keep them coming on the last Friday of every month :)
Love the footage! Will there be an Image review video from the trip?
Thank you so much! We are sure there will be, but nothing confirmed just yet.
🤔 show the incredible things you are talking about. Talk over the wildlife/safari shots less talking heads and forget those amazing hotel room shots of beds and the multiple pillows 😔
We are very sorry that the trip report didn't meet your expectations. Some of the most common questions we get about this tour are in regard to the accommodation and hospitality and so we tried to focus a bit more on this aspect. None the less, thanks for your comment, we look forward to sharing more content from this tour in the future!
how would you compare Mala mala with Nottens?
Man, I envy you people, what you do for a living.
It is indeed a fairly enjoyable profession!
Lion vs Caracal is better

The bonding is just fascinating. Thank you
Really well put together video. Mana is a magical place
