I read two great quotes last night, Byron. The first one was “Adventure has a way of introducing yourself to yourself” and the second one, which I LOVE, was “Adventure is the respectful persuit of trouble.” I’m sure they’ll both resonate with you as well… I really enjoyed this Q&A video - it’s such a great way to connect with your viewers. And whenever you have those self-doubts in the future, remember we are all rooting for you.
Wow, both those quotes resonate with me big time. ‘The respectful pursuit of trouble’ is so well put. Thanks Vil, that means a lot. Thanks for watching and will chat soon!
Byron you have made realize the gifts I have as a Zimbabwean with family in SA some through marriage. I really undervalue the goldmine in astounding nature we have in our corner of the world. Thanks for showcasing our beautiful land , flora & fauna.
Hi Byron - wonderful video and congratulations on getting to 2K subscribers. Your dedication and hard work are definitely paying off as your videos are really getting to be top notch. 👍👍
And just like that, I'm booking a trip to Pilanesberg National park. Grateful you're giving this a go because you truly are talented, and its always extremely refreshing to shut off from the business of life, and enjoy your videos. Thankyou
Another beautiful and deep episode Byron Thanks for sharing and awnsering all the questions Congratulations on 2k, definitely only the beginning with the high quality videos,you will be celebrating 10k in no time🎉 Nothing quite like sharing a high 5 in the bush I will definitely be interested in a wildwild journeys "experience"😁
Thanks so much, Christiaan! Your questions were awesome and helped make this Q&A better 👌🏼 hopefully many milestones to celebrate in the future… and yes! Who knows, maybe that will be a thing one day 🤞🏼
Ah Byron, we all love what you do and your thought processes. I always appreciate the openness..Of course we want to grill you! Loved the rhino and smiley terrapin too. Cheers :)
Not only have we been spoiled with captivating footage, a sense of tranquility but also the calming voice of an eco-philosopher 😊 I’m thinking of staying in South Africa to better enjoy its beauty Where would you recommend for a long term stay around the Kruger? We all look forward to 10k subscribers 🎉
I’m not sure about eco-philosopher, but thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼 You would not be disappointed. If not too sure about where for a long term stay outside of Kruger. Maybe have a look at Marloth Park? Also depends on budget I guess… I would stay in Kruger for a full experience then maybe move on to another area completely as the rest of the country has so much to offer apart from the bush 💯
Great episode again Byron, look forward to the next adventure that you will be heading to. The banks of the Zambezi trip further in the year you will treasure many epic sightings there and my bucket list indeed I won't reveal the name but I know where you heading 😂 Enjoy it bud 🐾🐾
Congratulations Byron, 2K is a great milestone to reach and I've no doubt you will double that very soon. Your insights and knowledge are so valuable and your bucket list trip sounds amazing. I look forward to learning more in time
Hello Byron, congrats on 2k subscribers and you deserve much more for all of these amazing videos,thank you for doing a Q&A it helps us to know more about you and what you passion is. ñ Just want to ask where that rock is where you went to in this video n think you said it is in the west of the park because every time we go to pilansburg ñ want to go to that rock but don't know where it is thx🎉💯
Thanks so much, really happy to have you here. That rock is on Moloto Drive. You go past Batlhako Dam, carry on past the picnic spot then a few kilometers after there is a small turn off to your right. It’s an amazing place to sit with a snack and binoculars - always something to see there 👌🏼
Hey Byron Another great episode 👏🏼 You’re making world class content that you should be extremely proud of. Really looking forward to the future content you have planned and wish you all the successes you deserve for all your hard work - it will pay off 😎
Great Q&A session Byron. Congrats on 2K and climbing. Looking forward to the next video and of course your trip to the Zambesi later this year. Waiting in anticipation of the next one
Thanks for yet another lovely video. I suspect that you are going to visit Mana Pools later this year. Wherever it is I am looking forward to your video.
You mentioned that one of your goals was to ‘connect people with nature’. You must have heard of WildEarth, the TH-cam channel that brings live drives from SA to the rest of the world. With your previous experience as a guide and your comfort in front of the camera, you seem a great fit to work with them…
Love the vid, keep it up 💪! As a youngster I would love to visit Pilanesberg with you, been visiting Pilanesberg for a couple years now and would love to learn from you
You actually should have said 3x world champion. Just because. 😮 But on a more serious note. A Safari journals book for the future would also be something to think about maybe.
I’d love to visit these places, but probably not anytime soon as it’s not really affordable for me yet. Hopefully one day when this channel becomes more sustainable 🤞🏼
Hi byron. We are going to Pilansberg friday and we wanna know if you can maybe tell us wich is the best road to drive (from Pta) and wich gate would be the best to go in sorry i know this is a weird question but i know that you have been there before😄 im also looking forward to the video about the place you were a few weeks ago and posted the 5 pictures of!🎉
Hey! I’m not sure on the best road from PTA but Waze would definitely do the trick.. I personally usually go in through Manyane, the earlier the better and would try be all around the centre of the park in the mornings and late afternoon as its best for all sightings there and the other parts of the day I would explore the rest of the park. But also just go with your gut at the end of the day 👌🏼 I hope that helps in some way!
What a great video. Really so inspiring. I'll be doing that bucket list destination of yours from 24 Aug to 3 Sep 😅 Hope to bump into you if you're there at the same time!
Hello Byron. I have been mesmerized with your awesome journeys. I have so many questions, wonder if I can DM you? My quick bio, 77 woman. Career was professional photographer, mostly for magazines. Live in San Francisco. My process was with film, 35mm, 120. I mostly worked in fashion & portrait. I printed in my little darkroom & hand toned. I also became a printer for other pro’s because I am a perfectionist. My art covers subjects of people to animals in the landscape shot in B&W and toned. I am very competent with digital for many years esp. in post editing however I always strive to edit in my camera. Ok enuf of that! I’m planning a safari to Kruger in 2026! Being older has given me some limitations, even though I had camped alone until 2021. ⛺️Perhaps I can speak to you.
Hi there, thanks so much. Wow, sounds like an interesting career with many changes along the way! You have a great idea to go on Safari - it can be life changing in a lot of ways. You’re welcome to DM me on Instagram or send an email on byron@wildwildjourneys.com
@@WildWildJourneysThank you so much, completely missed it! Just been on Holiday to Pilanesburg and saw the Big 5 and it was just an incredible, life changing experience!

Great quotes, Villiers
Bucket list on the Zambezi MUST be Mana Pools. Spent awsome times there. Heaven on Earth
Just got home from this amazing trip. What a place!
Byron you have made realize the gifts I have as a Zimbabwean with family in SA some through marriage. I really undervalue the goldmine in astounding nature we have in our corner of the world. Thanks for showcasing our beautiful land , flora & fauna.
We really are so fortunate in this part of the world 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for this! You have to do a part 2!
Thanks Thomas! Great to hear.. Maybe this should be done for every ‘milestone’ the channel reaches?
@@WildWildJourneysdefinitely!!
Thanks Byron, great video!
My pleasure, thanks for watching
Congratulations on passing the 2000 subs mark 🎉 follow your passion, the rest will fall into place!
Thank you Dalene! Yes, love the simple and solid advice 🙌🏼
Hey Byron
Another great episode 👏🏼
You’re making world class content that you should be extremely proud of.
Really looking forward to the future content you have planned and wish you all the successes you deserve for all your hard work - it will pay off 😎
Hey Mike, thanks so much for the kind words! It’s extremely encouraging 🙏🏼 thanks for being a part of it in some way too 👊🏼
Hey!! Thanks for the awesome content. I'm really enjoying your videos. Keep it up!
Thanks, appreciate it!
Wonderful video B. Once again you are inspirational.
Thank you Michael! 🙏🏼

Thank you so much Carol. Appreciate it!
Thanks for yet another lovely video. I suspect that you are going to visit Mana Pools later this year. Wherever it is I am looking forward to your video.
Thank you Simon! I think my hint was a bit too obvious… yes, I cannot wait! Lots to come before that though

Hi there. Yes, I’m a fan of WE and what they do. Thanks for the suggestion it’s maybe something to consider one day…
This place is my childhood❤
Love the vid, keep it up 💪! As a youngster I would love to visit Pilanesberg with you, been visiting Pilanesberg for a couple years now and would love to learn from you
Thanks Diego! Appreciate you watching 👊🏼
Okavango delta!!.
The “world champion” sighting was quite cool😂
Was wondering if anyone would catch that 😂
You actually should have said 3x world champion. Just because. 😮
But on a more serious note. A Safari journals book for the future would also be something to think about maybe.
Thats true! Hmmm that's an interesting idea as well. Who knows...
Ok compromise, I’ll come on a safari with you, but I’ll stay quiet in the backseat doing my own photos until you need a high five. 😂
“Pretend I’m not here” 😂
Hi again Byron. Will you be venturing to Arusha, Serengeti & Masai Mara sometime?
I’d love to visit these places, but probably not anytime soon as it’s not really affordable for me yet. Hopefully one day when this channel becomes more sustainable 🤞🏼
What camera / equipment do you use to take the photographs?

Thank you, why don't you use a beanbag?
I find it restricts smooth movement and to be honest I’m in a bad habit of forgetting to use it 😂
Here in the Netherlands, I always have it lyjing in my car.😊
What camera / equipment do you use to take the photographs?
I’m using all the same equipment listed in the description 👍🏼
@@WildWildJourneysThank you so much, completely missed it! Just been on Holiday to Pilanesburg and saw the Big 5 and it was just an incredible, life changing experience!
@@bhavma1408 that’s brilliant! Such a special place. Life changing sounds about right 💯
