Hello all - I hope the year has started well...
Thanks James, lovely to see you again. Hope you both are well and planning lots of trips for us to watch! Great job!
Thanks, and to you. Great footage of the buffalo. I don't think I could nod off knowing lions are around :)
Missed you and our friends live chat. Pity. Would have done wonders for my self-pity mood today. Oh my so many Beefaloes!
James have you seen this video? The buffalo skeleton in the springs in both you and this video suggests they were taken around the same time czcams.com/video/lnkR8aMamo8/video.html
Thanks for reality content in our areas. We feel proud finding our valuable resources put on global map

Mesmerising sequence with the buffalo coming for a drink.
I can't get over how GREEN those parrots were !
What would we do without your wonderful narration, Mr. Hendry - you are a treasure!
My Year just got immeasurably better, thanks to you.
Many happies to you and your beautiful wife.
Amazing work, James, as always! The buffalos scene with the dust and the music are just out of this world! 👏👏👏
Outstanding job Kristen,It was nice of you to bring James along :)
It was very kind of her
Wowza! Those buffalo kicking up a dust storm. What a spectacle!
November, 2020. I spent two nights at Chitake before heading to the banks of the Zambezi. At Chitake, we watched a pride of lions gather around an elephant carcass. A glorious time in northern Zimbabwe.
Excellent as always, but those scenes with the buffalo and dust are top level!
Absolutely!
Beautiful
I agree! Amazing experience.
Absolutely brilliant filming of the Beef - a - loes. Sadly the Lie- ons did not wish to make an appearance. Probably too well fed and having afternoon siestas. Lovely sunset under the Boabab tree. Perfect setting for a Amarula with eish !! A flat battery and a flat tyre can lead to a flat holiday. One must learn to overcome these minor obstacles.😀
The le-ons were way too well fed!
Fantastic beefalow footage! Just added sitting under a baobab tree for sunset to my bucket list. ❤️
Superb filming of the buffaloes, baboons & birds!..the music was as dramatic! Well done & thank you guys! Love & Blessings xxx
The cinematography here is second to none.
Love it all; especially the herds which are so dramatic!!!
I wish you did this for Television. It's the best safari recording on CZcams. Well done
Me too! Thank you
So excited!! Thanks James n Kirsten!
Days like this are always remembered I miss the place so much thank you
Thank you once again for sharing your vacations with us!!!🌟🌟🌟
wow the buffalo was spectacular amazing
Thanks James I have learned a lot from you I can't wait to be part of your next journey!!
Hello beautiful people James and Kirsten 🤩... thank you for sharing and bringing us along with you...so Amazing..I agree with plenty of happiness along the way xxxx
Thank you so much!
Appreciate seeing allllllllll these lovely animals including the various birdies who seem to allllllllll follow order for drinking. Missed the lions. Great filming!
Excellent thank you I Love Africa Greeting from Guyana South America
Most beautiful place … real and true African experience … hope the rain and water arrives soon
Epic shots of the buffalo in the dust! What a spot!
This commedian is a LEGEND !! 😂
Highest praise I can give you is I *NEED* to go there!
Thank you!
Not only entertaining for the wildlife, but the comedy as well. Lol! I certainly wouldn't be lazing around on the river bank with all those prey species around (including the humans) and lions somewhere about.
Awesome footage of the Buffalo in the dust. Also your commentary on Barry, which brings back hilarious memories from your WE days. Well done as always.
Stunning scenes of the beefalos-well done!
Thanks as always for giving us a window on your world. Hoping you have smooth travels and stay safe and well. Gloria
beautiful, thank you for showing me my beautiful Zimbabwe i didnt know exists
Impangele...my favourite African bird!
Keeps me enthralled as always James and Kirsten. Thank you so much for sharing.
OMG!! Wonderful photography!! Thank you!!
Absolutely spectacular views!! Thank-you for sharing this with us!!!
Lilians Love Birds >> Beautiful!!!
Buffaloes, baobabs, birds and baboons plus lions and so much more. Spectacular photography, editing and music choices. And longer, too! It's a great start to the year. Thank you both for a wonderful episode. I can't wait for more. During that buffalo sequence I kept hoping the lions wouldn't take advantage of all that dust. I was glad they didn't! I hope you got water and fixed the tire in the next episode!
Excellent filming accompanied by a Wrex Tarr commentary
Thank you for showcasing our beautiful Zimbabwe, I was born and bred in Harare and never had the thought of touring the wilderness, I am challenged!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi James and Kirsten. Happy New Year to you both and also a belated Merry Christmas. Thank you so very much for sharing your adventures with us. Greatly appreciated. From this Kiwi (New Zealander) 🇳🇿
Another place I need to visit. Thank you for sharing James. Awesome place.
Stunning buffalo footage in the dust - not sure all of them in situations like this actually get to drink.
Stirring and timeless wildlife in that fine wild area .Superb photography of the time and place.Hope to return to Zimbabwe...if Zambia doesnt distract .
Yes Baobab are so striking ..and sacred
Hello James. Thank you for this. Looking forward to Mana Pools.
Hello from Port Elizabeth ;)
A great 23 minutes and 12 seconds. Loved it. Thank you guys for sharing.
I love Mana Pools, my favourite place on earth. Never been to Chitake though, so thank you for this footage, allowing me to see and feel the place !
Definitely give Chitake a try next time you go!
Watching those buffaloes stampeding down, it’s very clear now that Mufasa never stood a chance… sigh
Just awesome!! Miss your humorous look at wildlife on "Wild Earth"!!!!
Fantastic filming - the lighting on the buffalos, the dust, close-ups, the wind - felt like we were right there!
Many thanks!
Magnificent .. love the buffaloooo … looking forward to next episode 👍😃 thank you for taking us on your holiday
Marianne NZ
Always a fun and spirited ride in your imagination. Monty Python on safari!
Patiently waiting 😊
And much appreciated
@@JamesHendry Love your video's, and watch them all. 💙
Epic cinematography so far Mr. Hendry ! Who knew that such visual drama can be found in all that beef ? Adding Zim to our list, having enjoyed Botswana so much in Aug 2021. Hoping to head back to Africa in 2023. P.S. - the Mrs and I thoroughly enjoyed “Reggie and Me” on Audible 👍
Many thanks for watching and listening...we are both very grateful!
Spectacular!!!!!
My fav videos 😁
Always enjoy the humor!
You are an amazing story teller
Thank you James
This is absolutely stunning. One of your best. Love the beef bum ending.
Absolutly spactular!!
Haven't been able to watch for a while. Great to be doing so now. Happy New year all. Let's hope it's a good one.
Magnificent "beef" capture with all the dust kicking up almost oscuring the herd from view [nerve wracking moments with kitties potentially licking their lips!] And in spite of their bulk, quite a few noticeable ribs showing - perhaps Leo noticed and decided ribs were NOT on the menu?? Completely appreciate the crack-of-dawn efforts, exhausting but wow - amazing footage James. Now for a *double cold one*
Wow, James!!! Gorgeous and artistic video photography , humor and song……..fantastic!!!!
Brilliant place. One of a kind. V jealous
Some awesome shots 👏 In fact it's so good I feel like I need a bath now to get the dusty dirt off 😊
Love the videos of your adventures.
Awesome James, I felt very thirsty after the dust show lol. Your wonderful humor and stories 💯 Thanks again, can't wait for more.
Awesome video as always James!
Informative 👏🏿👏🏿
Hello james .Havnt seen you since Covid began . Nice to see your still there .How is the crew . Love your sence of humor .😊
great job man
I watched it yesterday then rewatched it with my mum later. Just brilliant photography. The buffaloes through the dust was magnificent!!! Loved Barry the Biker Baboon. Also mum kept cracking up with all the jokes. Looking forward to the next episodes!!!
Thank you so much James and Kirsten!!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad your mother enjoyed it too
9:25 "...mother looking into the distance...as if she might have made some sort of error..." 😅😅😅
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Buffalo must breed frequently to keep up such huge populations.
This is great, the Buffalo coming in their thousands!
Superb ♥
That buffalo sighting was stunning! Happy new year!
Same to you!
As always, I am waiting to hear the good news of your new TV series contract. These are superb and sure to get you there...
You and me both!
oh, hello old man! lol!!
Your best in photography, welcome Tanzania bwana
Nice colour grading of the buffs coming down
Wonderful footage. One day I hope to see what you have seen, and to drive in a 70 series Toyota Land Cruiser in Africa.
Nice work guys... Not sure that music is really necessary, but great footage!
Loving you films James. Not only informative but portrayed in a good lighthearted manner - very often these types of youtube films are "stilted". I am heading out to SA in the next couple of months to retire and really looking forward to travelling around Southern Africa and visiting some of the wonderful sights that you have shown on your films. Can I kindly ask what set up you are using for your videos? I like the look of your rig - and although heavy looking - looks pretty flexible. Keep the films coming please.
Thank you for the fantastic entertainment! I hope you'll get a lifetime supply of Zambezi Lager for this! ;-)
That would be excellent
Great video. Like your work and your singing.
Thank you so much!
@@JamesHendry You're welcome!
Oh wow...those buff's and that dust. The Zulu name for the Natal Mahogany is...Mkhuhla, I believe. Thanks, for the wonderful footage and humorous narration
Yes! Thank you!
This place is truly a special place. I wouldn't advise anyone to visit as I want it to be left absolutely untouched & pristine, I'm selfish like that🙈...love your videos 🤣🤣🤣
😁😂😂
I hear you. Some places should stay secret
Love the mullet at 10:16 .
Its gorgeous
The buffalo scenes are amazing - were you on foot in the river bed? Whn we were there it was strictly no cars in the riverbed?
Amazing footage!
you my friend are an International treasure - never give up, however hot it gets
Thank you - we will attempt to keep going despite the heat!
Legend has it that on a clear and quiet day, just before daybreak, if you listen hard enough, you can still hear James inflating the left rear tyre on the cruiser.
It doesnt have to be a quiet day...
😂hilarious
What is that song playing during the buffalos at the beginning? It was beautiful and a great choice for the amazing footage
Love your production- what is the music in your Chitake Springs episode (first one with Lovebirds)
Fantastic episode. The shots of the buffalo herd in the dust are beautiful. I've been to Mana quite a few times but never to Chitake. Do you need to walk to get the low angle shots of the spring or can you set up near the vehicle?
Thanks Rob! You would love Chitake. You can sit by your vehicle on top of the bank but we just found going lower down was the best for filming.
@@JamesHendry yeah, most of the videos I've seen from Chitake are from the top of the bank which is not a great angle.
Barry the Baboon has a nose reminds me of a Haartebeest 😂😂😂
