Nature and wildlife sounds from the African savanna

  • This is a sound recording I made in South Africa two years ago. I had woken up at 3 am and went out to catch the dawn chorus. After a short drive I split from the group and walked by myself for about an hour.
    This spot I found was quiet and peaceful, just perfect for recording. I dropped my rig and walked around for a bit, bumped into a giraffe and a warthog and took a few landscape photos. I also spotted a distant Eagle Owl, which can be heard softly in the recording.
    Every time I listen to this I'm transported back to that spot. Sit back, relax and try to imagine what it felt like to be there. Enjoying these videos? Feel free to support me by:

    Out of all the results for "Savannah Ambience," this one stands out. The rest just don't have the same atmosphere.

    It's wonderful to think that these sounds are pretty much the same sounds that surrounded our ancestors, Homo Sapiens, when they split from the other Homo species and learned to walk and hunt bipedally 4 million years ago.

      Some of that information is probably encoded in our genetic material.
