Elephants become a main feature, with a simple lesson in authenticity being revealed.

Mapungubwe has never looked so beautiful! 😍 Stunning production, Byron, and loved the authenticity all-round…
Thanks for taking the time to watch. Super glad you enjoyed it! Mapungubwe made it easy for me to show it off 🙌🏼🐘
Byron, thank you for this excellently produced video. I go to Kruger as often as I can, but I have never been to Mapungubwe. Your video convinced that I have to het their soon. I think I will go in summer. It is just beautiful.
Thank you Thinus, that’s one of the best things to hear. I got very lucky with those flowers. Apparently they sometimes only last a few weeks after a lot of rain, so hopefully you can experience that too. I plan to try it in the dry season as well to see the difference.
It felt like I was right there with you! Absolutely brilliant, thank you sooo much Byron.
Thank you Sean! It’s such a beautiful and underrated place 👌🏼
Thank you so much. This is a work of true beauty. I love Mapunguwe. I have visited in each season and stayed in each camp. This has captured the soul of Mapungubwe. Elephants and dolphins seem to capture the authentic soul of all life.
Thank you so much, Wendy. I’m so happy that you think I’ve done it some kind of justice 🙏🏼
I like that you include dolphins there as well. I totally agree!
Well done Bud, you are an inspiration to both young and old. Keep it going and long may the journey last.
Thanks so much, Doug. Off to Kruger again next week for the next journey - can’t wait! Thanks for watching
So beautiful…love all the birds and smaller creatures and incredible scenery!
Thank you Charlotte! It’s an amazing place
Breathtakingly gorgeous 🩶
Thank you, appreciate it!
Hi Byron, living in the Netherlands and missing the South African nature and wildlife, a film like this brings us back. Looking at a beautiful green Mapungubwe makes us want to visit the park again, after our first visit in June 2023, but this time in January.
Thank you very much.
Glad I can bring the Wild to you all the way in Netherlands! I would highly recommend it. Apparently you have to be lucky to get the flowers but it’s beautiful either way. I, on the other hand really want to try it in the dry season.
Thanks for watching.
A true child of the African bush! Awesome video, awesome person.
Ah, thank you so much! Appreciate you watching
Hey nephew, time to get a rooftop tent!
Wonderful episode! Jacqui and I were mesmerised.
Hey Uncle! Agreed, it’s high up on the wish list… along with many other things! Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it 🐘
Wow. I should definitely pay Mapungubwe a visit. I think I will. Production quality on this video is also excellent, well done. 👍
Thanks Iwan! Yes, I would definitely recommend a visit 💯
Another beautiful video Byron. Well done and looking forward to more videos!
Thank you Patrick! 🙏🏼
Gorgeous landscapes, awe inspiring sightings …am really loving your videos. You have a great way of bringing nature on screen, great photos and really enjoy your narrative, personal and pure. Hope you make many more videos!
Wow, thank you so much! So glad you’ve been enjoying them. Happy to have you here and I definitely plan on making many more 💯
Magic. No more words. Your words and pictures touches my soul. Thank you so much.
That’s amazing to hear. I’m so glad. Thank you Dorothee 🙏🏼
Wow how amazing is this video, you are an incredible wildlife photographer, what a inspiring video, you are made for this
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Amazing!! The peace and tranquility that comes with being there, being so small in front of such beauty, is my paradise on this planet, ugh how I miss SouthAfrica...but there is less time left to return, in two more weeks I will be there again. Thank you for the feeling you put in your videos, they make me feel again that emotion and those feelings that only SouthAfrica has given me.
Thanks Mariana! They say that feeling of being small and insignificant you get from nature is the gateway to peace.. really glad you’re able to connect with these videos and hope you enjoy your time back in SA!
Have to say - the wasp sighting: amazing!
Ah, there were so many little things going on at the camp! It was very cool to watch 💯
Incredible content again Byron. Such amazing beauty in this country.
Thanks so much Matt. Endless beauty. We are so so lucky to be here!
Awesome episode Byron
Ellies truly are speicial
Looking forward to the vision, sounds like some exciting wild wild journeys ahead 🎉🎉
Thanks as always, man! Exciting indeed 🙌🏼
A stunning video I esp loved the sound track just makes all the shots come to life even more. What time of year do you film this video. I love the flowers, the green ness of the bush and the ealry morning light. This park has always been on my bucket list but would like to go when the park is lush and green. thank you for the amazing videos .
Thanks so much Geoff! This was late January - I got very lucky with those flowers as they only bloom temporarily after a lot of rain. I would highly recommend it anytime of the year, I think it’s very under appreciated.
Thanks for the beautiful content Byron! Living in the UK at the moment and missing SA and the bush so much. Watching this makes me feel just a little less homesick. Looking forward to the next one ❤
Hi Desi, I’m so glad it’s helped a bit with the homesickness! Someone the other day said it had the opposite effect 😆 thanks for watching!
Great episode 🙂. Lovely to see the bush so green (and yellow). It was so dry when we made our first visit to this special place.
Thank you! Ah, it really blew me away. Would love to go back in the dry season later this year.
Another wonderful viewing experience for the family ❤ thank so much! Looking forward to the future journeys with you and growing the campsite crib 😂
Thanks Sis! Cribs bush edition 😂

Thank you Chris. Ah, great I’m sure you’re going to have a great time - happy sightings out there! 🐘
Thanks for sharing another beautiful video! I've enjoyed all your videos, especially Northern Kruger. You are incredible lucky with your sightings :) Hope the good luck continues :)
Thank you so much for watching these videos and for the awesome compliments. You’re right, my luck has been unbelievable 😂🤞🏼 thanks again!
Brilliant video. Thanks so much.
Thanks Simon, appreciate you watching
Epic!❤ i've never been there before! thanks for the epic adventure!❤
Highly recommend it! Enjoy 🙌🏼
@@WildWildJourneys thank you! i will visit it someday!
Lovely video Byron. Looking forward to the rest of the series :)
@@sawildlife24 thank you! Should be quite the rollercoaster 😁
Top quality content Bud, you're living the dream
Born in your blood man, looking forward to the next lot of content 💪
Thanks so much Cole! Loving the experience and can’t wait for the rest of this year 🙌🏼
very nice work man, i am convinced now to go. thanks.....Peace
Great to hear! Thanks Craig
Amazing great quality footage presented in one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Awesome storytelling, top notch. Please continue your journey and keep on sharing with us. I just became a follower. Thanks for sharing👌
Thanks so much for that Jaco. Really appreciate it and happy to have you here for the larger journey. 🤝
Such a great episode 👏
Thanks Cuzzie! 👊🏼🙏🏼
Off to Kruger in May. This sure looks like a spectacular place.
It’s certainly worth a visit. Enjoy Kruger, I’m sure it will be amazing!
Your imagery is awesome. Big fan. How do you like shooting with the R6? And kind of settings are you using? I shoot with an 80D and a sigma 700mm when I go to SA. But I can tell the clarity differences between the sigma and canon.
Thanks so much! I love the R6. Think it’s great value for what you get. One thing - It can sometimes overheat if taking a long video on a hot day but it’s only happened twice to me so far.
I’m shooting video in manual and adjusting iso and exposure according to light and the scene…
I like sigma as well. Used to use their 100-400 and it really did well
There's really a ton of ads in this video....I have never seen so much in a single video. Makes this difficult to watch, sadly. Otherwise, fantastic video and content, beautiful.
Sorry to hear that. Thank you for letting me know, I’ll change some settings and make sure on future videos too.
Also, thanks for watching despite that 🙏🏼
@@WildWildJourneys of course, your videos are of unusual high quality! I've watched most of them already, loved the Kruger ones.
@@loksterization thank you, might be going back there very soon!
