- Byron takes a solo one-day self drive safari in Pilanesberg National Park, South Africa. What was intended on being a creative 'test' trip for WildWild Journeys, turned into an episode on its own!
A note on the Black Rhino charge: I am well aware of the ongoing rhino poaching crisis and that specific locations should never be shared. It is common knowledge that there are Rhinos in Pilanesberg, and this video in no way puts any rhinos at risk. The goal is to educate and help people connect with nature through these videos and experiences and maybe even inspire some to visit not only Africa but any piece of nature near them.

Great video showcasing some of the very special wildlife in South Africa - and so close to home in Johannesburg! Loved mention of the bush-drive greetings, and the spoor-tracking tips! Really felt like we were on the journey with you, waiting on the ellies, following them and trying to predict where they're moving... incredibly special sighting of the black rhino (I don't remember when I last saw some of these guys) - loved the drama of the interaction, even the other guy driving off wildly! Beautiful ending with the ellies, specially the teeny baba! Thanks for sharing this game drive with us, along with your great explanations, insights and knowledge of the bush. What a gift!
Thanks so much for the kind words Nena, I’m super glad you enjoyed it! Next episode is a lot of fun 😄
Thanks for sharing. I love your commentary and the different take you have on this. Also your knowledge is awesome.
Thanks so much for watching, Michael. It’s really encouraging that hear that and I really appreciate it
Also major fan since 1980. Great to see how the elephant population increased sons & daughters of Amarula my favorite elephant several close calls but also gave him great respect . All those bulls brought in to bring the young bulls into line have now passed miss them.
The elephant story there is very interesting. Also had the privilege of spending time Amarula before he sadly passed. Those Kruger bulls have certainly got many sons and daughters carrying on their legacies! Do you still visit?
Yes own time share June & November but make visits when Grandchildren on school.Holidays they love the park. Family favorite. Never had a bad visit
@michaelroebuck1340, there is one of the old Kruger bulls left, Nkemele
Me and my fiance where absolutely histarical when you did the bit of how to wave on Safari
As I am the one who gets over excited when waving and she is the one who acts like she is spotting something and your presentation was on point😂😂
Haha that’s great to hear 😂 there are also so many others that I forgot about - The stop and have a conversation person, etc… thanks for watching! Plenty more coming 🙌🏼
@@WildWildJourneys the stop and have a conversation one usualy causes a traffic jam cause people think you have a sighting. General safari rule, if there is more than kne car stopped check to see if they are not looking at a leopard...
Looking forward to the Kruger episodes
@@christiaangriesel8486 100% maybe we’ll cover more of this in Kruger! Cheers, also looking forward to it 👊🏼
Loooove it! 😮 Those Ellies are so cute at the end! 🥺
Ah that little one put on a real show at sunset! 🐘
Great content!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Amazing footage ! Missing the bush after that. Keen for the next episode 🐘
Thanks G! Next episode on its way 👊🏼
This is so good! Can’t wait for the next episode! 🎉
Thanks Darren! Soon 👊🏼
Its only 30 days since I returned from South Luangwa, LWR Zambezi & Mana, your video makes me want to hurry back.
Glad you enjoyed it, Mark! Next episode focuses on bearded vultures - it’s a fun one. South Luangwa and Mana Pools are high up on my list of places to visit 👍🏼
EPIC Video!! I can't wait for the next :excitedface:
Thank you sir! Next one is a fun one 😂
Great video! We got charged by a blackie in Karoo NP on our very first trip to SA way back in 2010 except he didn’t stop and we had to stomp on the gas. We were hooked and seven trips later we just can’t get enough.
Thank you! What an experience it must’ve been to be charged like that. Words just can’t describe that feeling, right?! Glad it has lead to more memories and hopefully more to come!
Thank you for the enlightening video. Looks like you had a wonderful experience. When was the video shot??? How many days/nights were you there?
Hi Jonathan & Tammie. Thank you for watching! This was beginning of July and in this case it was just a day trip - sunrise to sunset
Did you guys enjoy the Manyene tented camp?Going to Pilansberg in April with my 9 year old daughter,and looking at accomodation.Thanks :)
Hi Robert, yes that’s my usual choice of accommodation there - in a safari tent if not camping. Good value 👍🏼 I’m sure your daughter will love it!
@@WildWildJourneys Just seem like the reviews are very bad for Manyane tented camp,but thanks for the reply and keep up the good work :)
@@7wabafet also seen some bad reviews but I guess everyone’s experience is different 🤷🏻♂️ Good luck and enjoy!
