    The one place that is not boring is Mana pools ! Each day offers something different. Heaven on earth ! Zimbabwe has a gem . It’s wild .. it’s natural, it’s beautiful ! It’s not Kruger so it’s not commercial . Let’s hope it stays this way !

    One of the most amazing things about God’s given wildlife I love the most is the color of many birds. Some brilliant colors..beautiful! I mean seriously, beautiful bright blue and rich red, just beautiful!

    Thank you for another stunning reminder of home. Mana was and will always be my ‘happy place’ with some amazing memories from there.
    Your sense of humour and story telling cracks me up, putting a smile on my face on a cold winters night in London!
    Thank you for this amazing series, which I will definitely watch many times more in the future. Kind regards to all.

      I just about died laughing when he told the story about the couple (from NY?) and the wife who thought she saw a snake chasing them, all in character and with special voices. I'll look for it, and if I find it I will come back and include a link.

    Carmine Bee Eaters cutting the air like minature dragons while dazzling the eyes with their brilliant colours are beautifully captured James, as is the totally satisfying *pfffffft glug gulp* sounds of a parched desert being refreshed!! Well deserved after a long day's adventuring 📷🐗🙈🐘++😊

    Thank you James and Kirsten for another entertaining episode. The footage of the two species of bee eaters, love birds, queleas and ground hornbills are outstanding. As ex-Zimbabweans now living in New Zealand this series is wonderfully nostalgic and makes us determined to visit Mana Pools again in the not too distant future.

    Yes the weather may be foul but as for the "A lot of wind ". When you have a lot of baa boons eating copious amounts of wild figs, well yes you will get a lot of wind !! It just comes with the territory. Tony and Byron may both be slow learners, but that could be because they were schooled in South Joburg and Uitenhage respectively. However both have exquisite taste when it comes to beersies. Castle Lager only.

    Another wonderful episode! Loved Byron the eland and all the Staceys, good one Kirsten. Carmine bee-eaters are fast becoming my favorite bird. (those were carmine bee-eaters weren't they?) James, your voicing of the ground hornbills was too funny. And the young elephant so close must have been very special. Then there were the baboons. If you run out of material (like that will ever happen!) you could do a whole episode of just baboons! For just a moment I was concerned about your camera burning up but since you weren't concerned I took a second look and realized the fire wasn't that close. Thank you both for this wonderful series of what looks like the most fabulous place. Just one request, more Kirsten!
