  • Kruger Unlocked Ep 15 | Crocodile Bridge - No luck with the big Cats on this episode, unfortunately. The amount of elephants definitely made up for the lack of lions during the week! The only lion update was the two young males that crossed the S28 towards the Vurhami River. The visual was too far for the video camera so I indicated on the map where the sighting occurred.
    Thank you for watching!

    Wonderful sighting of all the ellies. Beautiful walk by from the bull. The elephants were definitely on the move that morning. Elephant babies are just so cute and fun to watch. Even though we didn’t see any big cats the elephants definitely made their presence known. Another great video. Hope you have a wonderful weekend Christof 💜🐘

      Thank you for watching and enjoying this one Rachelle! There were so many elephant sightings that if I’ve filmed them all this episode would’ve been 3 hours🤦🏻‍♂️😂 promise I will try and film the youngster for you in the time to come.
      Enjoy the rest of your weekend to and pray for lions!
      Chat soon 😄🇿🇦🙏🏻

    Thanks for sharing Christof! Such a wonderful experience to be so close to such a bull elephant! It certainly makes the heart pound faster, nice Kruger adrenaline!

      Doesn’t it! Even after so many years and hundreds of elephant sightings on foot and from a game viewer the heart will do what it wants!
      The irony is that the world loves lions, but the real king of the bush is an Elephant bull.
      Appreciate your comment 👍😄🇿🇦
      Take care! C

I enjoy watching any of the widlife and nature, anytime you can observe it, its well worth it. Thank you for another masterpiece. I wish you well and many blessings to you and your family. Until next time Peace love and positive energy, always look forward to the next one.

    Greetings, Madiba! Wooooow! Not Caturday but Tuskerday... Luv luv luv, ellies! Their social intelligence, empathy, cooperation & complex relationships simply astound you. African elephants are more imposing than the Asian ones. You were so privileged to get a "walk by" like that. And I was listening, taking notes on different etiquettes to know when encountering these magnificent beings in the bush. Have to wander to an African bush soon to have a real, deep understanding of "existentialism" :) Been lurking... doing my "homework" to catch up with the unseen epis. Now onward to the xyz reply to your previous comments... Not studying cardiology but did have entanglements with cardiologists, cardiac surgeons (no, not all are rich & poor me haha :)) I worked at a university & various colleges as an educator/counselor & volunteered on 10 cardiac surgery missions in 9 countries as a researcher. These trips taught me invaluable lessons of humility & humanity... And often, the kindest, most generous & warmest people were the less fortunate. Also, due to the nature of cardiac surgeries, life & death were a perpetual dance...
    Oh thank you, Christof, for offering Afrikaner food. I am a foodie. Love cultural foods. Sharing food brings dialogues & camaraderie. Anyway, so be warned when you hear "knock, knock... guess who's coming to dinner then???" :)))) Recently, edited a book, "A Tao for the Anthropocene" (a good read on Amazon & cordially invite u & the Madibs here to peek at it) for a retired internist- a compassionate doctor & man.
    @buffiesilver: totally agree with you re: "our boy, Maribye." It's so egregious & barbaric to see the extent his injury (Tavangumi was practically severed in half. Maribye was just a bit luckier) WE Safari Live has been giving updates. He's not quite out of the woods yet. Happy to hear that he can climb & has been fed.
    Hellooo, C...hope u r still lucid. Appreciate your cool treat & thanks everyone. Have a great weekend!

      You are such a brilliant writer my friend! Thanks again for your ongoing support 🙏🏻😄I’m still amazed by how the world loves lions when the real king of the bush is an Elephant bull! I really enjoyed editing and filming this Ep Fukatrum!
      In my decade of guiding I’ve seen countless animals with snares or old healed wounds because of snares. Wilddogs, lioness, hyenas and elephant trunk. It is heartbreaking 💔
      This is the world we live in unfortunately for wildlife. Poverty in 3d world countries causes this and authorities try their absolute best to counter this but conservation areas are simply to vast.
      We can talk all day about this🤦🏻‍♂️
      Appreciate you!🙏🏻
      Chat soon!

    Dankie vir nog n video Christof
    Lekker manier om my week af te sluit.
    My hart het saam geklop op die olifant walk by, dit bly maar spesiaal.
    En weereens dankie vir die "tips and tricks" sien dit al hoe meer dat mense net panic by olifant sightings maar weereens jou jare se ondervinding spreek boekdele😁😉

    • @cs-wildcam
      @cs-wildcam  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ek waardeer die comment Christiaan baie dankie my maat. My skoon ma en my vrou raak erg paniekerig om olifante😂 soveel so dat ek sommer teenoorgestelde rigting sal ry. Maak nie saak hoe hard ek probeer ni🤦🏻‍♂️
      Goed gaan mata en sterkte vir die week!
