Wild Zambezi - 4K Full Documentary

- After almost a year's absence from youtube, Leo is back with a brand new half-hour documentary filmed in Africa in the summer of 2017. Join Leo on his journey across southern Africa to explore the fascinating wildlife that calls Africa home. In the first episode of this two-part series, the Natural World Facts team head to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe before travelling to Chobe National Park in Botswana.
This documentary has been nearly one year in the making, so we hope you enjoy. Watch part 2, Wild Okavango, here: • African Wildlife Docum...
All footage is original and filmed by the NWF team.
This was my first full-length documentary project, filmed in the summer of 2017 while on location in Zimbabwe. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and all I took (apart from suncream and far too few clothes) was my little handheld camera, and some SD cards with barely enough memory. What came out of it is this, a half-hour documentary featuring all original footage presented by myself, and I'm very happy with it. It took about a year to edit, with very limited resources by way of CPU but (luckily) access to Final Cut Pro. I hope you enjoy it, and I'd appreciate any feedback greatly.

So yeah, this is what I've been working on for the past year. Sorry for the hiatus, and thanks ever-so-much for sticking with the channel! We filmed this last summer when we got to go to Africa (Thanks, Grandpa!). I filmed every second and now have compiled and edited it into a full-length documentary. This is the first documentary in what will be a two-part series. The next part is yet to be finished and will document the wildlife of the Okavango Delta in Botswana (also filmed by me last summer).
Natural World Facts thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it 😁
Natural World Facts
Hey! Remember me?
Wow! Great documentary!
Yah course I remember? How are things? So glad you enjoyed!
Natural World Facts
I’m fine. What about u?
Hope u enjoyed ur trip!
dude post more vidoes
Glad for my music to be used in the opening scenes footage. great job keep up your hard work!
Shameless
This videos deserve 1 million likes.
You're like a young Brian Cox, but of our nature on earth instead of space. And that's pretty cool. Keep it up, Brian Jr! I hope to see your documentaries on the BBC in 15 years or so.
Okay, I know I've already commented but I've just sat down and watched it in its entirety on my television and WOW. Seriously, Leo, what you've completed here is outstanding. The filming itself was well done, the post production editing was phenominal, and the music is perfect. I loved the Of Monsters and Men covers atop images of such magnificent animals (and knowing the lyrics to those songs just made me smile because they lined up so well). Even the clip at the end after the credits just to make it more personal (and awkwardly hilarious). I know I said it before, but I am beyond excited for the follow up. Also, it looks great on a big screen, and, frankly, I prefer it that way. Well done. Truly. And now I'll scamper out of your comments section; I just had to say all of that!!!
You have no idea how much this means to me! Thank you so so much for all your kind words, I am so glad it turned out this way and that people are enjoying it. Also, well done for noticing the OMAM songs. They’re my favourite band of all time and I couldn’t help but sneak one of their tunes in here 😂.
Again, thank you ever so much. Editing of part 2 is well under way and this comment is definitely going to be a big motivation for me when editing. Also, thanks for watching it on your television, I was always interested how it would look and so I am very glad you think it looks good on a big screen. Righto, gotta get back to editing, and sorry if I am slightly absent from commenting on your videos for a short while but very very soon I shall have more time on my hands to do so and relax.
Hey, no rush at all. I'm content just knowing the awesomeness is coming. ;) Glad I could be a motivator. =) And, yeah, I'm a total OMAM gluten, too. I have like all of their songs on my iPod. My go-to feel good music.
Cool. Just out of interest, do you know any of these bands? If not, you might like them. (I love music and never miss an opportunity to share my suggestions 😂)
- Boy and Bear
- Ben Howard
- Lumineers
- Passenger
- Stu Larsen
- Mighty Oaks
- Sons of the East
- Axel Flovent
- First Aid Kit
- Paper Kites
- Head and the Heart
Haha, sorry if I got a bit carried away there. All the best to you!
First Aid Kit yes, but the rest no! I looove searching out new music so I will happily try them!! Thank you!! My contribution would be Low Roar - little more downtrodden but still sublime ;) The best to you, as well!!
I like Low Roar! Yeah, very relaxed songs. In that case you may like Angus and Julia Stone or Message to Bears.
Leo is so cool!
Living a safari. I never realized you were seemingly so young, looks like you could still be a high school student here.
Excellent documentation as always !
All I can say is that the work done for this video is impressive, I wish you luck in teaching the world about all the great animals of the world.
Thank you so much. I would've like to have finished and uploaded it sooner, as this was actually filmed last summer, but in the end, I'm glad I spent as much time on it as I did. I really hope this payed off, and that you enjoyed it while finding it educational. if you're interested there'll be a part 2 coming out soonish about the Okavango Delta.
I will never be able to see these magnificent animals and the breathtaking lands of Africa but this is almost as good. Thank you for allowing me to discover Zimbabwe and Botswana through your eyes Leo !!
Aw I'm so glad you enjoyed.
" When I was a child, I thought like like a child." Consider that quote.
That's my home 🇿🇲 Zambia
This is incredible, inspiring to see someone around my age doing stuff like this
I loved every minute of this! Made me feel like I was there. Great format, like a home movie and a nature show rolled into one! Adding this one to my permanent playlist. 👍🙂
Oh wow thank you so so much 😊😁 i really appreciate that
Note that subtitles are available if you need them!
Simply Amazing!! Loved it and thanks for the information
Loved this, it was amazing, thank you for all this incredible footage! And that last little cheeky clip at the end was hilarious 😂
Absolutely beautiful, animals, flora and fauna. Excellentjy informed commentary and wonderful musical accompaniment. Thanks to you all.
Good clip!
Super cool!
Thanks Aaron :)
So impressive, fantastic quality documentary, well done, thanks for all your hard work bringing us these!!! :-D
beautiful you are a talented young man keep it up ..Love it!
Wow so beautiful made! Great documentary my friend.
I especially liked in the dark when you all were in the Jeep mom elephant was pushing baby to hurry and get out of the road.
Incredible footage and great narrating. Pact with information as we watch the magnificent wildlife all around you. Nice to see also while on this adventure.
Can’t wait for Part 2.
Take care friend from Florida🏖☀️
Aww thank you so much for your kind words!! I am soo glad you enjoyed. Part 2 is coming sometime soon. Take care from London!!
I just found your channel, and I'm so happy I did! This is so well produced. It's obvious how much effort and time was put into this. I can't wait to see the next one, as well. Really awesome work!
Thanks so so much. Yes, it took me a year 😂 but I got it edited and uploaded in the end. It was an amazing experience to actually encounter such awesome wildlife in its natural habitat. This documentary is the first full-length video I’ve made, and unlike my very old content where I’d stand in front of a greenscreen and narrate facts to stock footage, I filmed all this myself. It marks a new era on my (humble little) channel in which, going forward, I’ll be making more full-length documentaries as well as short fact files filmed out in the field like my british wildlife vids. It’s so much more fun seeing the animal in person and filming it myself, and so I’m glad you enjoyed it and appreciated the effort I put in. Part 2 of the Africa Documentary will be coming soon, I’m still editing right now but stay tuned.
P.s I subscribed to your channel too and will be checking out your content as well ☺️
Ahh!!! I was just telling my co-host (the guy who does the voice on some of the episodes on our channel) that I had stumbled across your content and that I was really, really hoping you would be doing more documentaries. I'm so happy to hear that is your goal!! I can completely empathize with wanting to be out in the world and experiencing everything for yourself. That is such a novel approach that hardly anyone here on TH-cam does. You have definitely earned an avid fan!
Oh and thank you for subscribing!!! =)
Thank so much for support. I have just watched a few of your videos. They’re so well made and well edited. I am addicted. And what I find so interesting is how your fact files are not just about the ‘biggest’ or ‘famous’ animals. You’re able to make brilliant fact files on animals even I have never heard of, like your latest Tadpole Shrimp video. The narration is so clear, too. Love them
Oh wow! Thank you so much!! Seriously, I am so delighted for the feedback and support. I'm so happy I found you!!!! There are not a lot of small animal enthusiast channels on here. =) It's nice to find a like-minded person.
And thank you as well!
I just found this in my recommended. You should post some more videos
Aww thanks, well I just posted the next instalment in the Africa video series- it's a little shorter but I'm releasing the Okavango series as episodes so it's more manageable to edit, but I hope you enjoy.
Day 3 of continuing my binge watching... 🥤🍿
good background music which is suitable for wildlife
I appreciate your work you and your team young man I wish I could be doing what you do, but I know there is an appointed time for everything. If you look deep into the nature you will see something else....
You actually did it after all this time!
Yeeess. Hi!
💜💜
Absolutely amazing footage!!! Beauty like this makes me believe there could be a God.
In my mind, it's quite the contrary. It makes me realise how utterly beautiful evolution can be, and it just makes me more interested in finding out more.
you dumb fuck
Who?
Its so interesting that herbivores are the strongest and most powerful things alive when we usually think predators are the ones with all the power
Nature has some funny ways of working, but I think that’s all a part of its charm ;)
It’s the quirks that make the natural world so fascinating to study - the way creatures of the deep grow so huge, the way some animals work together in symbiosis, the way male mantids let themselves be cannibalised all in the pursuit of sex (I mean... if they’re that desperate).
That ending was something I admit I don't see in every Elephant-featured documentary. Well done. I am now afraid of elephant penises.
😂😂😂 I hadn’t expected it either haha
this is the first time , that i seeing your channel . great job and good luck ..
know you have follower from libya . 👍
👌
You’re lucky to go there
It was an incredible experience :)
who scripts this? this kid is good
so they actually did clone david attingborough XD
Good video, but in some parts the music drowns the dialogue.
I’ve binged most of your videos. I’m wondering if your still active on this channel and working on the next part!
I’m hoping to upload more in the future. Africa part 2 is being edited, however it has been on hold for quite some time as I’m in year 11 about to take my GCSE exams. As such, I’ve had very little time to edit or make more videos in the meantime. I’m so glad you deemed by channel binge-worthy, and I really appreciate your support!!! There will be a part 2, I just can’t say when exactly.
Thanks again! I hope you have a wonderful day :)
It's on its way today
