KINGS CAMP and Rhino Conservation in the TIMBAVATI - Lost in Kruger Luxury Finale 4K
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- This week we head to the beautiful ultra-luxury King's Camp in the Timbavati Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park. We were there to donate our time and skills to help make a promo video for their fundraising marathon, the Timbavati Traverse. The funds from which are going to the anti-poaching teams in the Timbavati, that are literally on the ground day and night trying to protect their Rhino.
This is really an important episode to me, and that's why it is a little bit late. I really wanted to get the tone right, as there are some very serious conservation issues to be dealt with! I hope I have got the balance right, as I know TH-cam is not too fond of pure hard core 'boring' conservation!
Hopefully you enjoy it, and if you want to help make a difference, these are some of the places you can start:

This series has been an absolute joy to watch! Thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to visit (virtually) the stunning African wilderness.
My absolute pleasure! :)
Such sadness.. a loss like with Anton is more than a tragedy… it’s a senseless loss of human life . He dedicated his life to protecting the wildlife and sadly it cost him his life .. through organised crime .. a syndicate of evil beyond words . Anton’s life was priceless compared to a poacher and the head of the snake who pays these poachers . My respect and condolences to such a good man .. rest in peace Anton .. your service was not in vain . The fight continues and will always continue ! Excellent episode 🙏🏻
Bud, probably one of your best yet. Love your work.
Hope to see you soon.
Thanks brother, really appreciate it! Trying to continuously up the game!
Wonderful safari In timbivati, we love it there stayed at umlani in August. Sadness that Anton was murdered in July outside his home. Thank you for all you brave rangers that help protect the wildlife.
So tragic :( :( :(
RIP Anton Mzimba ..Hero🙏….Guys never give up Fighting Against Rhino Poaching..For Anton 💪💪💪🙏
🥺🥺🥺🙏🏻
Gorgeous! would love to hear the interview you did with Anton!
Thanks Kelvin! I'll let you know when it is up!
What an incredible episode Tim and Bianca! Thank you so much for sharing the information regarding the importance in nature conservation. You can see and hear the passion in the rangers as they talk about the animals they protect and the love they feel for them. The way you have captured this episode is definitely one that gives you goose bumps and brings a tear to ones eye. Your channel offers a range of topics and footage which is just spot on. The Kings Camp looks incredible, perfect setting after a day in the bush. Another fantastic episode with such diversity.
Thank you so much, the algorithms on social media these days seem to force you to pick a niche and stick with it, so the variety of things we do is probably short term a negative for the future of the channel, but I hope that with enough viewers like you, that see it for what it is and really appreciate it, in the long term it pays off! Appreciate the support!
Such sad news about Anton....
Great series Tim
😥
Brilliant video. Kings Camp is amongst the best.
Thanks Carol, it really is so beautiful hey!
Wow! Incredible game drive loved the leopard sleeping in the tree ! Thanks for highlighting the excellent conservation work done by the lodge. Hope to visit there one day..funds permitting 🙂
Thanks for the support David!
Wow excellent, I was horrified to hear the rhino statistics! 70% of Kruger’s rhino poached! Shocking and so sad!
Ps I am the granny who introduced myself to you in Skukuza in October, love your videos!
It really is so sad!
Thanks for the continued support Gill!!
your videography is absolutely stunning
Thank you so much!
What an incredible video! One of the best episodes yet! The content involving nature conservation is so important so thank you for sharing it. I would love to see the footage of the conversation you had with Anton on the link between unemployment and poaching.
Thank you Kerryn, it's so difficult sometimes, because the casual viewer does not appreciate this much conservation and tunes out, so the video is not doing great. But our reliable return viewers, know how important it is, and love to dig a little deeper. Tough balancing act sometimes with youtube!
Great job guys, looks amazing, such an important message too.
Thank you Iona! It's a pity the more serious conservation stuff doesn't do great on TH-cam!
Absolutely loved your series! Well done! We are heading to Kruger soon and this has really helped with our planning. Thanks!
So glad you’ve enjoyed them Jo! 👍🏻🤩
Enjoying this channel I discovered today 😊
Welcome and thank you!!
Hey everyone! I hope you all watch this the whole way through there are some important things we should all hear, but if the conservation stuff get's a bit much for you, I have added chapter markers now for your convenience!
The conservation aspect will never and could never be a 'bit much' because at the end of the day, that is why I watch and subscribe! What I find so special about your travels is that you've tied together all of the other lodges and camps that I have been in love with. When Covid shut down international tourism, a number of lodges brilliantly opened their doors to virtual safaris. The best part of the virtual safari is the conservation aspect.
@@tdkid1 Thank you, I really appreciate it! And feel the same way!
Great video, music used is awesomely appropriate.
So glad you enjoyed and specially enjoyed the music, its been such a learning curve, don’t go watch the oldest ones haha you will cringe!
Here from My Life in Africa vlogs.. luv the fortuner btw💫💫🤙🏽
Thank you, and welcome!
Such an epic series of videos guys, looking forward to more! Enjoyed the luxury that we don't often get to see, thoroughly enjoyed it! Well done to you both on bringing the conservation front to your videos, great message!
Appreciate the support Rolly!
Hi Tim & Bee,
Thank you for sharing this. Another great video. Yes please do share the link between poaching and poverty. So many people dont know all this.
Thank you to all those involved in this fight.
Regards,
Paul
Hi Paul, thanks so much for the kind words and the support! I am working on a short edit of my conversation with Anton, it is probably going to wreck all my TH-cam metrics, but you're right, people need to understand these things better! Will let you know when it is up!
Wow! What breathtaking sightings, amazing video Timo!
Thank you Brombino! :)
I've explored other overlanding videos and channel but this one man...😽✌its different just one straight story and really nice people who interact with their viewers...wow love you guys.❤
Amazing thank you!!
Fantastic episode. Loved the wild dog with wildebeest shots. And so cool they let you fly your drone (I'm guessing regular guests are not allowed to do that).
Thank you! Yes definitely not normally allowed and we were only allowed to do it in a specific area with no guests or game around. Perks to working for free i guess haha!
I’d love to see more about the anti poaching please. This is such a epic edit brother
Thanks Anton, really appreciate it! Will work on a short edit of the chat with Anton. may make it my first TH-cam short...
Great video as always, however the luxury lodge reviews don’t appeal to us.
Miss the real people roughing it on a budget and trying to make the cost of overlanding work.
I believe that’s what most of us do
Thanks for the video
Hey Lourens, we appreciate that. They are a critical component in sustainable conservation though, so will still intermittently tell these stories! We overland for 3 months in SA then mozambique and then the Kalahari after this so hopefully you love those!
Tim as always lekke episode great animal sightings oom paul se tuin altyd n wenner Epic
As always, thanks shaun! Appreciate the continued support!
Looks like suite no 5 😂 just stayed there as well….
How beautiful!
It makes me so sick what is happening with poaching. It’s so senseless and useless. Also please show the video you did with Anton, if not to remember him by and continue his legacy. Another senseless loss. RIP Anton ❤️
😢😢😢 i must
Tim Bianca were are you
No longer Tim and Bianca unfortunately bud. 🥺 but there is a load more content coming soon, I’ve just really been struggling to get through the editing on the last couple with B still in. ❤️🩹
