In this episode, we get up early in Crocodile Bridge and have a slow morning, but things quickly heat up with a nice Lion sighting, and then we get a great tip, which leads us to an epic cheetah sighting.

      Hi Anne, thanks for your comment. Glad you have enjoyed the videos. The easiest way is to just ask the manager of the restaurant, he will point you to the correct tree. But let me try explain, at the restaurant, if you go to the end of the deck where the stairs go down onto the grass, he usually sits in the tree to the right above you. He takes some finding, he has great camouflage.

    Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon. Matthew 24:7-14 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Everything written is happening as you read. Revelation 12:1-2 1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. This sign has already appeared in the sky as described in the Bible, this is a warning, the wrath of The Lord is about to be unleashed upon all disobedience. Time is over, repent of your sins, the only way to salvation is Jesus Christ, trust Him have faith in Him. We are going to be taken up to The Lord.

      Thanks so much for the comment. The next Episode is coming this Thursday. I use a GoPro Hero 9 and a Nikon D5600, but have upgraded my DSLR to a Nikon Z5 since recording this season.

    Great video. There is not much info on the internet regarding the X-trails capabilities. I am surprised that it coped so well on soft sand. Is this the 2.5L 4x4 Auto model? Have you don’t any modifications, more specifically tires and suspension? Our X-Trail has standard Yokohama Geolander G91 tires and it has handled some off-roading very well. Something we would need to change in the future. I’m interested to see what the X-Trail can do without the luxury of low range 4x4. Cheers

      Hi Trevor Thanks for the comment. I also found it very difficult to find information on how capable the Xtrail is, and am also pleasantly surprised about how good it handles. The model I have is the 2021 1.6 Diesel Manual Tekna and I have not modified the vehicle at all, even the tyres are the standard tyres that come with the car. The vehicle handles very well, just don't stop on a flat in thick sand, and you are all good. I didn't feel like I needed low range 4x4, but the approach and departure angles are a bit of a problem, you really have to be careful not to hit dunes that are too steep (have a big approach or departure angle). I really enjoyed my 2 trips to the Atlantis Dunes and as mentioned was very happy with the way it handled, as always, go with someone that has a very capable vehicle to help you if you get stuck (Like i did when i stopped on a flat in soft sand). Cheers Kyle

      @@life_of_lotz thanks for the reply. thats good to hear that your x-trail is standard as it gives me a good idea of what it can handle on soft sand. We're not looking at doing much soft sand driving but its good to know whats possible before faced with making a decision to drive on sand or not. We've done some acsents and descents over rocky terrain using 4x4 lock and it performed well. The ground clearance is not great and teh front bumper is a bit low but thats ok for the driving that we are willing to do. We're planning a trip at the end of teh year and hving an idea of what terrain it is capable of driving over is great as we dont want to miss out on any potential sightseeing opportunities.
