So what is your favourite clip in the film?
My favourite sighting was definitely Du!
Oh myyyy, you really want us to choose? ;) So many incredible vignettes, Lions at water, wide-angle elles at the hide, heron w/ oof elle in back round, wide-angle lion walking toward remote....thanks for sharing with us!
What's not to like? Just incredible variety of wildlife, interaction with young, beautiful video!!
My favorite clip was elephants 🤩
Fantastic video and a good all rounder. I especially enjoyed all the babies as well as the interactions of all the various animals at the watering holes.
So relaxing to just sit and be absorbed by this video.......... Thanks for the escape!
Beautiful footage!
It's Amazing footage of wild life at Botswana...Liked .
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful Sabine. Can't say which is the best clip. All beyond description. Well done and God Bless.
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous clips, hard to choose a favorite - African Skimmer on flat water, Elephants in front of setting sun, lion cubs with mother, could go on and on. Well done
Many thanks Sven!
Delightful. Favourite clip was the sequence with the croc and the dragonfly
Super cool wasn’t it? not something you see too often.
Superb video. I enjoyed it very much
Glad to hear it. Thanks.
I must say, this is the most beautiful wildlife video I've ever seen!
Botswana and the Chobe are simply magical and this film portrays the magic beautifully. Of everywhere we've traveled, Chobe holds the top place in our heart.
Thats wonderful to hear Jann.
Brilliantly captured and connected together. I would love to visit Botswana
Fantastic artwork, Sabine! Evoked so many good memories on Chobe :-) I loved to see the skimmers again. Because just a couple of them arrived, when I was there.
Difficult to choose any clip... all spectacular.... 👏👏👏
Wow...the Jackal encounter was nice to watch. Uffff! and that low angle footage with the Elephants.....wow! 😲....thank you for that.
Its our pleasure Omar.
every single clip is fantastic. I love the wilddogs, the chewing giraffe in slowmo, and of course all those baby lions... we have been there in oktober and come back these september. can't wait for it.
Simply just amazing!!!😍 My heartbeats cannot stop punding hard!!. I have been in Africa but nothing compare to this. I must go back, perhaps with Pangolin 😍🤩😍
Amazing film, stunning photography and absolutely joy to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure!
I was mesmerised watching . I hope to visit soon in 2022. Fantastic photography.
We look forward to seeing you
WOW! What an incredible video. Unbelievable that the camera was not stepped on by the elephants. Hard to pick our favorite, but strangely enough, the dragonfly riding on the crocodile was exciting for us. Yes, we are enthusiasts of odonata!
That dragonfly is proving to be a real hit!!!
Great video. My favorite clip is the elephants at the water hole.
Lovely isn’t it. Great footage.
Amazing video photography. Well done 👌👏🏻👏🏻👍
Thanks Cliff.
Can't pick a favourite as all the clips are EPIC!!! Soo looking forward to visiting with you in May 2022!!!
Can't wait!
Absolutely stunning collection of footage. I feel a range of emotions after watching that. Thank you for sharing. The tortoises were hilarious
Missing this so much. Beautiful video Sabina
The crazy things are how close you get to the animals and the beautiful light🌟
Beautiful! Our cats love it too
Sabine, Thank you for posting this amazing video. Absolutely fantastic. We stayed with you in 2019; hoping to return someday.
I hope so too!
not sure how you can single any one animal as best, they are all magnificent and each day is a life & death struggle for them to exist
no matter what the species, you can see a certain bonding love in the families
this video was truly unequivocal
Thank you very much indeed.
That was fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing video. Thankyou. I have no favourites, they were all amazing.
Glad you like them!
Lions, always enjoy seeing lions.
Captivating animals!
Praise God!
Wonderful relaxing video!! The whole thing was my favorite!! Wildlife at its best..Thank you for sharing.
Its our pleasure. Glad you liked it.
Sabine, Fantastic. This is a masterpiece of the channel. Very well done. We missed the atmosphere and want to come back again. I am extremely thrilled with the joy and can wait to come and see all of you again in the beautiful and warm hospitality of Pangoline. All the best from Turkey. Happy new year.
Wow, thank you!
Lovely, great movie
Wow Sabine. Truly awesome.
Excellent work well done. Botswana is an amazing country and we are glad more people will know about it.
Thank you.
I love those lower shots to the ground or water. Not easy unless you are in a hide or outside the car.
Or you are willing to sacrifice a GoPro or two!
I loved the whole video, but as a favourite it would be the silhouetted elephants at sunset
Transported me back to your boat on the Chobe. Loved it all, but especially the elephants from ground level. The soft and gentle footprint.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautifully done, a really stunning collection of clips!
So difficult to pick out one favorite clip when they are all so incredible. Really love the leopard shots and the elephant silhouette shots, both of which I hope I get to have a go at when I am with you at the end of January next year - really looking forward to it.
Always always the Ellies😊
Brilliant video. The ground/water level shots are spectacular.
Glad you like them!
Amazing, so beautiful video!!! Love the music too!!!
This is amazing.
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen 😉👍
Impossible for me to pick out one clip. Everything is beautiful .....
Thank you Pablo.
I loved the elephant silhouette scene. I'm so looking forward to having the opportunity to visit one day....soon!
High Class stuff !
Awesome compilation of best frames, compositions, lighting conditions etc..truly a treat to the eyes. Thank you Sabine and team for all the tips and recommendations. We just returned from a safari trip in Kenya and I used a lot of your suggested tips with excellent results. Keep up the good work for this community.
Preciosas imágenes!!
Gracias.
The best mixture of a short wildlife video I have seen in 2021, maybe even the last 10 years. Thank you Sabine and Charl!
Wow, thank you!
Lived in Botswana for four years, since been back on safari....but oh how I do miss all this now....most enjoyable watch....thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Its Nice .......
I am from srilankan photographer

What a beautiful inspiring video.
Absolutely gorgeous! I had a smile all the way through and videos like this is why I'm in love with somewhere I've never visited! Brilliant work, looking forward to seeing more in 2022!
Come and visit next year!!!
Great to hear you enjoyed it 😉
Amazing video!
Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful! Superb footage.
That is the best video I have ever seen , awesome 😮. Wish I had enough money to book. 😊
I'm a Leopard guy. Great work, thanks for posting. Cheers from Canada.Happy New Year too!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic! You really showed off the Chobe! I do wish that you had identified the animals. Most of the big animals are no problem but some of the birds and a few of the antelope species were a question mark. Still, it looks like a wonderful place and I can't wait to visit!
Wow! What a great tribute to Botswana! You did such a good job of putting this video together with a wide variety of images of all sorts of wildlife. I enjoyed every minute. Thank you for posting this. I was in Tanzania a couple years ago and it was my trip of a lifetime. It brought back some great memories. There were so many that I liked it is hard to choose. I found the game trap cameras showing the elephants walking right in front at ground level was amazing. At least I assume they were game trap cameras. Happy New Year!
Thank you Prof. Glad it brought back such happy memories.
Agree. One of my all time best wild live videos I have seen. Great work Sabine.
High praise indeed. Thank you.
Absolutely exquisite footage , wow wow wow!! All far too amazing to be able to choose just one clip! You are truly privileged to be able to see & share such incredible sights. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Dee. Lucky we are!
Brilliant stuff well done 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great Shots!
👍👍👍
So many hours of work to put this wonderful video together. Thanks for sharing. Hope to visit you in person when the pandemic has subsided. Good health. Happy New Year.
We look forward to welcoming you.
Wow, excellent 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Thank you Rakesh
Great videography. Loved it all❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful footage 👍🙏 I wish all the beautiful moments would be just like that forever…cannot denying the truth is that there are blood, tears and pain within every living being , the next moment could be so destructive of each other.
Thank you.
Nicely done haven’t been to Botswana for years but it reminded what a special place it is Loved the loins and elephants
Glad you enjoyed it
Great work! I love your channel! Keep it upb
Thanks, will do!
Thank you Sabine and Charl for a wonderful video, I haven't seen quite anything like it. As soon as the world and Australia settle down to COVID, a trip to Botswana is on the list! Can't wait!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope its sooner rather than later!

I loved every moment or this! Beautiful footage of a beautiful place. Africa is the real garden of Eden.
Thank you. It is indeee
This video has captured the moment's of animals & birds in their natural habitat and natural behaviour due to the candid nature of the video... Amazing video for people like us who wish to be there to see these beauties but cannot make it. The best image's were of the Bustard strutting around with it's puffed up throat trying to attract it's mate.....
We thought that might be popular. Thanks.
Wow beautiful..I love it ❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
@@PangolinWildlife you are welcome
Love the skimmer skimming and the puffy Kori Bustard
Special birds!
Very nice video clips of 2021
Thank you Stuart
Absolutely awesome!
So many species! It's amazing!
Very beautiful 😍
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Sabine, you have filled my heart! Looking forward to my next trip........CHEERS!
You are so welcome!
So beautiful 🐾🌿 thanks for bringing your world to me in Australia, I have enjoyed your channel ❤
Thanks and welcome
Exquisite work :)
Glad you think so!
Greetings from Ballito... What a lovely video Sabine. Wonderful memories from our last time with you guys in August this year. Wishing you Charl, Guts, Janine, Danielle, Sara, Toby and the entire Pangolin gang a wonderful 2022..... Hopefully we will see you again next year. Take care, and be safe out there... Hugs from Von, Shirley and I
Cheers Tim. Wishing you, Von and Shirley an amazing 2022 and we look forward to seeing you again.
This is the most beautiful video of Botswana and its marvelous wildlife that I have ever seen. I have been to Botswana a couple of times and this video brought back such moving memories that actually made me cry for joy. If the world settles down, I hope to back there with Pangolin. Thanks for sharing.
Its our pleasure to share it with you Lois.
Wonderful, thanks for sharing 😍😍
Glad you liked it Paul.
gorgeous! gorgeous! gorgeous!
Thank you for those stunning images. I was in Botswana 20 years ago and you bring back wonderful memories
Thank you
Wonderful!
Impossible to select a favourite from this film, but I do love all the bird images. Would like to visit one day.
You should!
Great video, highlights all there is to see and appreciate with the African wildlife. Thank you Sabine, Charl, and Pangolin!
Thank you too!
My oh my, there is no such thing as what I liked; it was ALL GREAT, FANTASTIC, BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE; thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
And we are so lookin forward to meet you all next month, in May 2023; can’t wait !!!
Favorite shot was the lioness grabbing a cub while another cub weaseled his way in between.
Hi Sabine, Wow, thanks to you and Charl for this beautiful film. The close-up shots are spectacular. I particularly liked the look of bewilderment on the lioness faces as they gave way for the elephant at the water hole. All the best for 2022.
Many thanks!
Beautiful sightings - seeing the cubs interact makes me smile the most.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi from Istanbul, vuhuuuu cool and perfect ! many thanks for your works !
Wow, so beautiful and peaceful. We all can visit our local Zoo thru-out the world, but there is no comparison in seeing these majestic animals in the wild. I am 68 years old and never been to Africa, so someday I hope to make the trip. But to be quit honest the pandemic has made me push the pause button. Hoping someday to visit you guys!!!!
You know where we are when you are ready!
To attempt to select a favorite from that beautiful footage would do it an injustice. So let me say from the opening words from our lovely hostess to the final frame was exquisite. Since I have a very small chance of visiting, this video is my way of living it though another's eyes. My good fortune they are beautiful eyes!
Thanks Guy. Keep well.
Loved the birds hitching rides...wonderful images!
Thank you very much for creating such a beautiful video.. loved EVERYTHING!!!!!! Looking forward to my return trip!!!! Amazing Botswana! Xoxo
Thanks Eiko. Looking forward to seeing you again. Happy new year!
Beautiful compilation of some amazing animals. Can't wait to join y'all on the Pangolin Voyager at the end of March so we can capture our own beautiful images
Can't wait! Not long now!
