True, camping in the wild is so refreshing! I spent a week at Mana Pools in the early 2000s, on my way back to Harare at the 20km marker before Karoi, I could smell the petrol, diesel and burning wood fumes from Karoi at that distance, I never smelt anything when I passed through the town on my way to Mana. The bush really does sharpen some senses.
Hello Ed,
I loved that you played some natural sounds of The Kruger with out music. We appreciate you, and your saying “Next Level”. It’s magic, just like your videos. Thank you.
Sincerely, Alison
Thank you Alison!
Such a pleasure to watch your videos. Often people make wildlife videos with loud noisy unrelated music. You really did a great job with this video. Thank you so much.
Oooh Ed, again you have excelled, videography, images & storytelling absolutely top notch - really NEXT LEVEL. Thank you for sharing your passion / job.
Thank you so much Ingo!
Hallo Ed. Been a while. 😄😄 We are always looking out for your videos. We love what you share with all of us. Looking forward to see the rest. Brilliant photography. And please don't let people dictate to you what to say. "Next Level" is how we got to know you and it rubbed off on us. What you share is "NEXT LEVEL"!!!🤣😂🤣😂
Thank you so much Karl!
No cats. No big deal. You got out there and got some great video of other things. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
That no music raw Kruger was pure gold ! Thanks for sharing 🍀
Thanks for watching!
Another great Video from you showcasing Kruger.
We like your style...agree with your comments. We feel like your guests as you continue to inform and entertain us
Thank you so much!
Yes, I’ve been waiting lets
Awsome video. Thanks. Visited Tsendze April after watching your Kruger visits and had to go and see what you are find to be so "next level" All I can say is that I will most definitely be back. Rodger and Alina is most probably the best host I have ever met. Keep it up Ed. Can not wait for your next trip.
Thank you Rean! Glad you enjoyed the trip!
HI Edward thanks for you videos ,I've been missing SA and Kruger so much as I'm working overseas now and you videos are absolutely MAGIC
keep them coming my man , good luck
Thank you Juhan!
Oats with milk and salt - Ed, that's NEXT LEVEL
Thank you so much Tristan and a huge thank you for making this possible!
Thanks Ed. Will agree 100% Tsendze is the best camp in Kruger. Just got back from a trip out there and will also agree Rodger and Elena were amazing, with Rodger spotting the Skops Owl daily for us. Was also cool meeting u in Cliffton canyon the other night..take care shits Next Level. Regards Odie
Thanks Odie!!
Brilliant as always Ed. Please don’t change your expressions. It is part of your style and what we have come used to.
Thanks Herman! I really appreciate it 🙌
So, so homesick now 😥
Never mind, one day soon I will again set foot on African soil.
🤗🇿🇦
Us too can’t wait to be back ….. miss it so much.
@@richardm-6745 👍🇿🇦
Another awesome episode Ed. I left a message with Rodger for you. 😂
Thanks mate!
Wow. Great content, I didn't forward or skip a second. Great job 👍🏾
Thank you!
Keep the vids coming brother, love it!
Another great one, Ed.
Our favorite thing to do at Tsendze is to drive to Mooiplaas Picnic spot as soon as the gates open and watch the sunrise there with a cup of coffee.
Nice video as always. And..since it’s your channel..say next level and magic as much as you want. As long as you don’t mind getting teased about it once in awhile. 😎
Thanks Rob!!
Thank you - especially for all the sights and sounds, wonderful photography.
Thank you Victoria!
Well done Ed, you do not have to change your saying "Next Level". I always wait in anticipation for your videos. My children are amazed with all the sounds coming from the birds and wild life. Keep up the good work.
Thanks you Johnny!
You was born for this my man. your episodes are top notch. wow
Thanks mate!
Nice video, you always deliver excellent content.
Thank you!
Next Level mate!!!!
Thanks mate!
I’m from the United States, but I grew up in a few countries in southern Africa. I visited Kruger several times and I can still remember the smell. There’s nothing like the small of the thatch roofs, smoke from the fire, or boerwors and meat on the braai.
Couldn’t agree more!
On the timelapse @ 25:20 the trees' leaves don't even move! It must have been one of the best evenings in the Kruger!
That was a next level:D episode Ed! The natural sounds were amazing....so calming. Thanks for putting in the hard yakka to bring it to us mate.
Thank you so much Vik!!
inspired by guy with a Merc next door, great video as always Ed
Haha that’s my uncle 🙌 keeps things simple but it works, thanks for watching!
Hi Ed...Your passion and exitement for Kruger is electric...like it...no love it..
Thank you Melissa!!
Wow....wow....wow.....Fantastic video.....LOVE the sounds off Kruger .....Great video.....on the day when I am on my lowest I came across this video.....Now I am feeling energetic again and can do a load of hard work to get my business up and running ..... then we can also visit Kruger again.......Fantastic.....Manny Thanks for this video. ☆☆☆☆☆♡♡♡
Thank you Rosa!
Hi Ed it's truely two of the beautiful places in the Kruger and like you said the scenery is magic . Thanks for a nother great video.
Thank you so much!
We left the park last week via Phalabora and the difference in vegetation between September and March is amazing. Back home now Portugal and watching this great video made me know how much I miss it already. Thanks.
The moment i see "TSENDZE" i know the video is MAGIC !!! - Awesome adventures !! Thanks Mate !!
Thank you mate!
Awesome Kruger Park animal sounds - I could just listen to this for hours at a time! (I wonder if there is a TH-cam video with JUST Kruger Sounds?)
Oh that gorgeous Timelapse at 25:33 😍
Tsendze Magic!
Really top notch 😊😊
Best place in the world, really?
Off course yes off course.
Good video.. especially the veld sounds
Thanks Carel!
Edward, you have outdone yourself once again, spectacular. Thank you.
Kruger, a home in our hearts, a symphony in our ears, an artwork for our eyes and always on our minds.
Thank you so much Darrel!!

Baie Dankie Shaun!
Keep them coming 👍👏
Thanks Mark!
Seeing that you have released a video always makes my day! Keep them coming ☺️
Thank you!
Thank you, thank you. You may never understand how special this is for the folks who are no longer able to visit Kruger.
Thank you Peter!
❤👏👏🤝
"Nature has been playing its rhythm well".This is how i feel while watching the episode.
It was really interesting to see those Zebras and Wildebeest marching together.
Love the way all the wild animals have their own special distinct colors & markings. Beautiful but none surpass my favorite-the elephants 🐘. Great trip to Kruger 🙋🏼♀️👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks Sharon!
Brilliant 🎥 👍
Thanks John!
Hi Ed. Spectacular as always. I am a great fan. Love your and Brian's excursions. You are the masters of Bush Camping and wildlife safaris. Thank you for allowing us to tag along with you. I would love to see how you do your editing. No tricks of the trade, just an overview of how you do it. God bless and stay safe.
Thank you so much Johan!
Great stuff Ed. Glad to see the trusty Desert Wolf in action 👍🏽
Thanks Bud! Still a little weapon that thing 🐺
Nice video
Wow , I just came across this jem of a video, thanks for shareing, and will look forward to more.
Thank you Steve!
Thanks so much - awesome video once again, makes me feel like I am in the park all the way from Sydney Australia - saving for the next holiday!
Thanks Bruce!
Just re watched this one again EB. Absolutely classic footage man, it's most likely just me but some of that bird sound & vision is just incredible.
To have been to Kruger that many times is testament to just how special it must be.
As an Aussie I'm so jealous. A lot of our birdlife is strangely similar, but the combo of the insane animal life you have is just nuts.
As always thank you so much for sharing this with the world ✌️👏👍
Always watch your channel, best photography and narration. Was born Zambia 1954 left for UK in 1973, sister was born in Germiston SA. Been all over SA but never went Kruger, we tended to head Vic Falls and Hwange. Thanks for keeping me in touch with my roots, miss Africa so much, must return before I pop my clogs shall we say. Excellent stuff!!!
Thank you Nola!
Any chance you will ever go Hwange or has it been poached too much? Also would love to see Durban and natal again
I love that close up of the Croc 🐊 You’re inspring me to head back to Kruger, thanks for that.
Thanks Iwan!
Next-level Ed! 😉 Hopefully @sanparks maintenance of their facilities in Kruger improves soon. Tsendze is still amazing though and Rodger and Elina are legends!
Thanks Chris!!
Hi Ed....you've done it again ,you never disappoint mate..man oooh man your video and picture quality is on the "next level"🤣😂😉see you on the next episode...
Thanks mate! 😂
Great video Ed and looking forward to your next video.Great to see Arthur joining you!
Thanks Sean! Always good to have the dad with!
Beautiful work as usual Ed
Thank you Glenn!
Had amazing experiences in shimuweni, one of the best camps!
Shimuwu means baobab in Tsonga, hence the camp name Shimuwini
Its unfortunate to hear of the state of KNP. Hopefully, with the end of global travel restrictions, international visitors will start to return to the park and generate some much needed income... Then we can only hope it is allocated correctly.
Thanks for sharing Ed. Awesome, as always.
Thanks mate! Yeah Kruger is pumping at the moment so I just think the money if being allocated incorrectly but let’s hope it improves!
Fantastic Ed, love your style and watch all your friends channels that camp and travel with you. I really look forward to your eposodes. You have developed your channel with your own style. Love your stories of krugar when you were youger. I can relate.
Thank you so much Gavin!
Absolutely beautiful peace of work and footage.. Enjoyed Watching your channel always..
Thank you so much!
This may be my fave video of yours that I have seen so far! Allowing the chorus to speak for itself... now THAT is magic!
Thank you!
Edward, another brilliant video. You have developed your own signature style. Beautiful sights and sounds expertly captured. I will be back in S.A. next week for a month which will include a week at Kruger. I was left astonished when I made my first visit last year and I can't wait to go back. I explored most of southern Kruger from Phalaborha gate down to Malelane and Crocodile Bridge at Komatipoort. Going back will be like going home again. There is something in our genes that tells us places like Kruger are our natural environment, it is where the human race evolved from and despite the diaspora out of Africa 100,000 years ago that evolved different races, we are all African.
Thank you so much Mike! Glad you had an amazing trip!
Howzit Ed. Lekker video mate. Kruger is “next level” 😊 I wanted to ask about your camera equipment…aside from the GoPro on your windscreen for in-car shots, what camera and lens are you using? From shots in the video, it looks like a Canon EOS 5D and a 100-400 L series lens? I assume you have a wider angle lens too? A 24-70 or a 16-35? But thanks, really enjoyed this one!
Thanks mate! All the camera info is in the description below 🙌
Oh Yeah, definitely Next-level Ed 👌 absolutely stunning buddy 👍👌👊✌🐺🐾
Thank you so much Herbert!!
You should explore the Masorini picnic site the next time you enter through the Phalaborwa gate. They have great history about the people who lived there and the origins of Ba-Phalaborwa
Hi ED another great video and I love your family tradition of the love for the Kruger...wish to be doing something similar with my kids. Looking forward to rest of the series...it will be NEXT-LEVEL...sorry I had to say it.
Thank you so much! 😁
You bring the bush alive Edward!! Brilliant!
Thank you Auntie Sheila!
This was next level!
Thanks Gavin!
As always... Another hot offering. Thank you, Edward!
Thank you for watching!
Sitting in a cold Scotland watching your videos,keep them up and keep lekka
Thanks Chris!
Some wonderful shots there! I especially enjoyed that sequence of all the finches coming in to drink.
Thanks Frank!
"Top notch" as usual. Thanks for including a date stamp on the video.
Thanks Mike!!
Hi Ed, Thanks for sharing, while situated in Gauteng and before kids i used to visit the park 3 times a year for a week at least at a time, now in Ct with kids (School holiday dpendant) we can't get space in the school holidays, it has left a hole in my sole. Luckily we will be doing 3 weeks Kgalagadi (Nossob) this year. Recently found your channel and enjoying it. Keep up the great footage.
Thank you so much! Enjoy the Kgalagadi
Next Level 👌👏
Edwrd~ outstanding recording- farewell. 🙃
Thanks for another amazing episode Edward. Always special watching your trips. Especially love Tsendze camp. Can't wait for the next episode.👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Karen!
Fantastic episode, well done!
Thanks Andrew!
Excellent video Ed. Enjoyed watching it.
Thanks Henk!
Another great one. Great camp. Love the sunrise chorus! Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Tom!
Love the work you do. Could I ask what cameras you use for these great shots and videos?
Hi Edward ... we really enjoy your videos. The sounds and sights make us long for another visit to Kruger.
Please could you add bird names to your videos ... especially the unusual ones like the red chested one in this video.
Thanks Colleen!
Always brilliant movies such an inspiration 👏
Tips put a dash of brandy/cognac in the oats 😋 next time
Thanks Tommy! Will give it a try next time 😁
ED is living the good life

Wow Ed, really fantastic episode bud! And forget the naysayers - 'Next level' is your catchphrase 😂
Thank you bud!!! Haha thanks 😉
Hi Ed. Fantastic filming and scenery. Thanks for doing this.
Just one comment is that I constantly have to adjust the volume on the TV as, even though you may have the music and commentary set to the same recording level, the music is so much louder than when you speak. Can you drop the music volume by 3-6dB.
My wife keeps shouting at me to turn the TV down whenever the music plays then I have to turn it up to hear what you are saying.
Otherwise we really enjoy your trips and your filmography is great. Keep it up.
Thank you so much! So all my audio including the music is equalised and all music is set to -5db. It could be the sound setting that your TV is on, try and change it to cinema or normal 🙌 please let me know if this works, I always like to hear feedback like this to try and improve the videos and thank you for letting me know, I really appreciate it!
Hi Edward love your videos please can you let us know how that Lithium 555 performs. Looking for something similar
Hi Kevin! Thanks so much! I have a review on it coming out soon! It’s an amazing bit of kit and something I would highly recommend
By the way, just subscribed
Thank you for the sub!
Hi Ed. Once again another great video. I have no issues with you taking everything to the next level🙂. Love kruger and always will. Im sure this question has been asked before. Do you have a full time job or part time? Im sure editing these vids and taking the trips takes up allot of time. How do you fit it in?
Thank you so much Andre! I’m a freelance filmmaker and photographer and we sell cleaning chemicals as a family business. It’s hard work because all these edits take place at night after the days work but if it inspires people to get out there and enjoy Africa then it’s worth it!
@@EdwardBath thanks Ed. Keep on doing it. You have a great tallent. For someone that miss SA, Botswana and Namibia like me and loved Kruger. It was basically my second home. These videos brings allot of comfort and great memories. Eagerly awaiting the next one.
Nicely done Ed. This is an awesome video. How are the roads from JHB? When I took the trip in Jan, the roads were getting worse.
Thanks mate! Yeah the roads aren’t good at all around lydenburg, dullstroom etc
@@EdwardBath - I am looking forward to catching the next "Three Musketeers" trip :-) . Sorry but I named you guys. I hope to see you guys all together soon. Perhaps a trip to Namib or Zim.
Hi Ed, enjoying your excursions hugely, but a bit concerned, heard you say earlier that the park is going downhill, please let me know why as I find this very sad news indeed!
Disappointed, no reply from Ed regarding the question I asked.
Hey Ed, Would you ever consider doing a "cut and stretch" and add the canopy to "UTE " your 200 Cruiser like those mad Aussies ?? and do you feel that the benefits of a trailer make it worth the "hassle" of having to tow it = cannot reverse away from Ellies !?!?!?!?
Hey Roderick! I have but then the vehicle wouldn’t be a daily driver because of the size and length. The trailer isn’t a hassle at all for me hey, but yeah reversing it with Ellie’s around can be quite fun 😂 thanks for watching mate!
what is the animal you hear at 8.32? Heard it last night camping in ksasgwane and wondered!
It’s a spotted hyena!
Nice video, thanks.
Without being nasty, or rude, but how come it takes so long, 6 months, to publish your content on YT?
Thanks Wayne, not sure what you mean? I’m almost uploading weekly? Do you mean why I’m far behind? If that’s what you mean then the reason is when I go on a 20 day trip in the bush no edits get done because I’m out filming 👍
@@EdwardBath yes. The video u posted yesterday of your trip to KNP with your dad and uncle, ubsaid in the video u were there in Sept last year, but it only aired on YT yesterday.
@@UUAYWHYENEE I’m still catching up on the content because when I’m out on a trip no edits get done 🙌 almost caught up though. Thanks for watching
Is it possible to drive from Tsendze to Skukuza in a morning?
