I really enjoyed your video!
What an amazing safari, leopard sightings galore. Tiyani, Xidulu, Nhenhe and more What a buzz and those Plains Camp males are so strong and healthy looking. Poor lioness. Really enjoyed this vid, thank you.
Thank you so much. We had a great time! Those boys are HUGE!
l love ikan perana
My heart almost stopped when I saw how close Nhenhe was to those lions. Glad he was ok. You got some beautiful shots, sounds like it was a brilliant trip!
Thank you so much. We were very surprised he decided to climb a tree and watch them rather than running away! Maybe not such a smart move haha
Awesome video and recap of your safari Lance!
Yes EP is definitely amazing value for money with unbelievable sightings
I did a 3 night/4 day safari there in November last year and it was nothing short of spectacular
Leopard wise we saw 8 different individuals (Tiyani, her blue eyed cub that was killed about 3 weeks later, Xidulu, Nhenhe, Tlalamba, Xitsalala, Tortoise Pan, Laluka) with 11 Leopard sightings in total!
Good lion sightings as well with walk bys after dark of the Nkuhumas and the Talamati breakaways. And one sighting of one of the Black Dam males
I compared the spot pattern etc of that male leopard that you guys saw on your afternoon drive on day 4 to my footage of the Xitsalala male and it does indeed look like it was him that you saw. He likes the Buffelshoek area.
Awesome, thank you so much! We didn't see Xitsalala long enough to get a good look, and he's a new leopard for me :D
Difficult to beat Elephant Plains in terms of price - quality of sightings! Amazing!
For price, nothing beats it!
Looks like you had an aaaamazing safari! 😃
We had an absolute blast! Thanks for watching
It was an amazing experience, one that we will never forget. It was so good that we are going back next year! Thank you Lance! And a great recap of the trip! I suspect it will be about 6 months till I get the chance to edit my videos 😂
It was so great having you guys! Sorry we couldn't show you more leopards 😝
Superb video Lance you really got some winner shots this trip 👍👍
Thank you so much! Such a great location
Fantastic images and video. Maybe just something small, the video shows a high percentages of you talking. It just felt to long and I eventualy scrolled to the images and videos. Still I enjoyed the information and the video. Thank you!
Thanks for the tip! I will keep that in mind 😎
@@PantheraPhotoSafaris I actually liked the talking and explaning everything. Probably cause I've been to Sabi Sands a few times, so I'm familiar with the different properties and individual leopards and lion prides. And also because I'm inquisitive and like to know EVERYTHING 😊
@@jackieboshoff2013 Thanks Jackie. I will try and find a better balance of talking and images / video :D
Its difficult to do a trip report without talking too much haha.
@PantheraPhotoSafaris I liked the balance of talking vs videos and images
@@jackieboshoff2013 Awesome, thanks :D
I've never done a South Africa safari, but as a photographer I think I would go insane from hearing that I have to wait in a queue at a sighting or that an animal moved into a neighboring property and we couldn't follow.
Luckily they have their radios in their ears so you would never know :D
It goes both ways though... as a photographic guide its our job to manage the "queues" and get in at the right time for the best activity. The properties are large, so its only really the dogs that are constantly in or out. Beats being in a sighting with 85 vehicles behind the animals :D
Wonderful update. Definitely a lodge I’m keen on
On what other properties can elephant plains traverse on?
Thanks so much for watching!
It's an absolute must. They can traverse on Silvan, Arathusa, Djuma, Simbabili and Buffelshoek
