Behind-the-scenes shot on GoPro Hero 9. For the telephoto wildlife shots we used a Canon 200-400mm f4 lens on a Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro 12K. Moving shots from the vehicle/boat were shot using a Red Komodo 6K with a Sigma 18-35 f1.8 or a Canon 100mm macro.
Filmed by Andy Caldwell and Robert Hofmeyr. Edited by Robert Hofmeyr.

Wow...
Amazing footage with two great blokes to boot!
🙂 glad you enjoyed it
You were lucky enough to see the cheetah hunt. Wow!
Yeah, we got lucky. A shame he moved into the thick bush.
Great video💕
Thanks Mbuso!
I can't get over what you do to light. It's like you amplify my favourite parts of the day's light tones.
The panning shots are absolutely magical!!!
Thanks Prashant
Epic adventure!! Stoked for the next part! Seeing that RED rock around like that was pretty scary 😂
Thanks Bryce. Yeah it did make me a bit nervous 🙂
Keep it up..another great experience and fire 🔥 episode
Thank you
Always following up your Chanel n I love it.on the edge of starting to upload my vids as well.great work
Wow Robbie. Love your videos. We’re planning a camping trip to Kgalagadi so might ask for some advice.
Thanks Karl. That's great. Chat soon.
Nice vid bro but i'm confused moremi game reserve and khwai concession are within okavango delta ? Or they're diffrent places
Moremi game reserve is very large and extends into the delta. Khwai is to the North-East of Moremi and has rivers and swampy areas, but is outside the Okavango delta.
@@MovingPicturesAfrica moremi game reserve outside or inside okavango delta ?
@@Naser_Gharbeen Part of Moremi is in the delta, part is out of the delta.
Insane shots of the cheetah. Are you shooting all this for some production, or is it for your private purposes?
Thanks. This trip was mostly for TH-cam and stock.
Fantastic footage. What settings do you use for filming? Mainly frame rate and shutter speed? Keep shooting video, I love watching. I have been to Africa 3 times and hopefully after covid I can return. Bob
Thanks Robert. I normally shoot wildlife in 50fps slow motion, with shutter speed around 1/120.
Thank you so much. I love following your adventures. I like to shoot at 30fps at 1/120. Safe travels, Bob
Love your videos. Amazing set up. Really like your door bracket. Did you make it yourself? I use the Gimpro but just bought the Eckla which I will try next month.
Thanks Alpesh. Yeah, it's a custom bracket I made to fit the door of my vehicle. it's very solid. I've looked at the gimpro and it's a nice mount. I've never seen the Eckla in person. Currently I'm working on the ultimate mount: full replacement filming door for the Land Cruiser. It will take me a while to build it though.
@@MovingPicturesAfrica Thanks. Would love to see you guys in person if it materialises. Check out the Eckla as they have enhanced it with suction pads. I have a love/hate relationship with the Gimpro due to weight and depending on car door shape it tends to slip off on bad roads. Keep those amazing videos coming guys!
@@AlpeshPatel-jh5ti thanks. Hope we run into each other someday.
Wow Great Video :) im planing this trip next month ;) im driving from Kasane to Savuti - Tshaa - Khwai - Xakanaxa - Third bridge -> Maun. How many fuel you needed? Should a make a fuel stop in Maun before driving to Thord bridge? :) sry but I’m really nervous about the trip 🙈
Sorry I just saw your post now. Hard to estimate how much fuel you will need. Depends a lot on the vehicle. I try to have a range of around 1000km. It's not hard to pop across to Maun to fill up since the bridge at Third Bridge is still not finished so you'll have to drive all the way to South Gate anyhow, but I would leave that decision till you are on the trip. BTW, I think you can fill up in Legotlhwana before heading to Savuti.
Absolute fantastic video footage. Thanks for sharing. When exactly were you in Botswana?
Thanks. We were in the Moremi Game Reserve which is on the eastern side of the Okavango Delta
@@MovingPicturesAfrica Thanks for the response. Which time if year were you there?
@@gbabe6014 this was in late August this year
@@MovingPicturesAfrica Cheers
Love your work, thanks for the equipment explainers. Do you take on students?I am happy to pay my way in costs, worked with San communities at Khwai Village and with the Mababe dance crews on Sandance as fixer, stills, driver, cook boy and tracker? I love to learn.
Thanks Kevin. I normally just travel with my brother-in-law, but I'll keep you in mind if I get any larger projects.
