    Nicely created Byron . It was good to meet you at Mana during my one month long stay , you kindly helped a friend with her file transfer on her PC , much appreciated . Mana is a very unique and wild park . I have photographed it for many years now , it always delivers more than one expects . But never go with expectations , this season was the best year I have experienced in terms of sightings. You did a fantastic job on your videography , well done . Best wishes Ross Sayers Photography .

      @@WildWildJourneys keep up the great work Byron , you got a great channel which I throughly enjoy , this one you did justice to a special place where I was born . You had a brief stay but you captured lots in that time , Mana is doing it tough again this season with what looks like a bad drought with just about all but long pool drying up totally if they don’t receive rain soon , I fear the worst if they don’t get rain soon sadly . It’s the food the wildlife don’t have , water is plenty because of the Zambezi . Stay well .

    Boy you had fun. Love your editing and camera eye. I believe Mana pools is in the top 4 of Africa's best national parks. I might be biased being a Zimbo myself but I am sure many would agree. The place is magical. I hope they keep the Ellies population in check otherwise we will lose all those trees that make the place a mystical paradise. The bird life is incredible too.
