Greetings and thank you for sharing this Beautiful sky and surrounding area Are those bees that are buzzing or out insects native to the Area Thank you
Very sad news about this countries decision to auction off 57 beautiful elephants to be used as slaves internationally. They’ve rounded up 42 already. I find this atrocious and extremely sad..
It was and is absolutely incredible to see this at the pan and it is also amazing to see how nervous it was
Wonderful! It was very nervous, which I guess is to be expected if it isn't familiar with that waterhole. What a lovely surprise for all!
Woohoo 🥳, it’s looking so green it’s awesome
A little caution there, but perhaps, it will slowly become accustomed to this water point and join us a little more frequently! What a beauty!😍
I hope so!
Wow! Great to see this newcomer to the water hole.
What a beautiful sight. Truly wonderful to see. Thanks so much ❤️
Wow that's so cool! Are there more animals in that area that we haven't seen yet?
@@GhostOfBillCooper you definitely didn’t understand the comment enough to make a joke about it
@@proskilztimez2785 Or they are completely new to this channel as what the comment was hinting at should've been obvious.
I too would like to know if there's other rare animals in the area that we've yet to see on the cam
Really beautiful sighting, thank you for posting.
"Gregarious animals, hartebeest form herds of 20 to 300 individuals. They are very alert and non-aggressive." Wondering why it was alone.
And the desert is starting to green!! Love summer
What a day! First the Red hartebeest and later a Buzzard also. Both animals were first seen at the Waterhole.

Looks really diffrent.. Very cool! Are they always solitary?
No, they are normally in small herds.
Beautiful animal! 🙂
I saw that live today during my lunch at work.
A lovely surprise.
Awesome. This animal is also known by the name of Topi, if I am not mistaken.
Cool.
Wherever prey goes, predator too.
I expect Leopard soon, maybe even a very lost Lion?
Great sighting hope it's not the last time we see it
This is the first time I see a bubale.To see and review thèse rare moments 👏🤩
Odd how many animals prefer to drink out of the mud puddle rather than the pool.
Greetings and thank you for sharing this
Beautiful sky and surrounding area
Are those bees that are buzzing or out insects native to the Area
Thank you
Definitely bees ...
Yes, those are small bees buzzing in background
Ooooh, the Flies!
Bees 👍
What a surprise
Are Animals like hartebeest and wildebeest more Nervous when they're on their own?
Yes they are more skittish when they are alone
What is a hartebeest? The animal front and centre? Never heard of it before now.
Will chat be coming back to NC?
Yes it will
Is that a salt or mineral block the animals go to and is it provided or natural?
Yes, a natural salt rock that is provided
Wond ❤️
Why is it all by itself?
It must have wandered off on it's own from the herd to get water
@@NamibiaCam Okay, that makes sense. It must've been really thirsty. :-)
🥰
🎉 woohoo

Namibia?
That's illegal.
@@springbok4015 yes, I just read this in a National Geographic article today.
@@AShyLily apparently not when the government approved it.
That pays for the anti-poaching efforts. Poaching is BY FAR the bigger threat.
Nature is so great, that abject paranoia is required to stay alive. Glad we've separated ourselves a bit from that.
Why is he alone?
So alone
