How to approach a lioness on foot at a suspected den site

- There are no firm rules on how to approach a den site as it all depends on the variables around the chosen area, but in this particular case it was necessary to search on foot as it had been unsuccessful from the vehicle. One morning, the Purple Eyed lioness had been seen on the LIVE Djuma waterhole camera, so it was a good opportunity for the experienced bush walk team to follow her fresh tracks to confirm if she did in fact have cubs in the area.
You guys are phenomenal! You have such knowledge and common sense, when tracking and teaching, and by acknowledging and respecting each other's strengths, you stay safe and get the best outcome. Beautiful Africa!
Done with utmost respect and sensitivity. This is a good lesson for anyone, professional and amateur alike, of what should be done in these circumstances. Thank You and Kudos Herbie first and foremost for your eagle eye and skill and tact. And thank you to the Cameraman and James for how they handled this situation. But the biggest Thank You goes to Mother Nature for blessing us with this wonderful sighting..... 💚♌️🐾
Are you serious right now? A den site? STOP WALKING ON FOOT YOU IDIOTS OR I WILL STOP DONATING. it freaks them out, changes everything and you could get a cub killed. They're isn't a "way" to do it. This should not be allowed.
Torry aka TNT what’s with the anger. These folks aren’t hurting nature, nor are they hurting the cubs.
If you don’t like watching a show like this, an alternative is to watch a hunting channel. I’ll never understand why folks are angry at people that study and educate people about nature. If there is something wrong with safarilive than I hope the haters just stay in their organic tents, only eat fruit from the ground and drink rain water.
@@anthonyproffitt5341 interrupt nature and freak them out?
Torry aka TNT from your perspective I guess. Should humans only live in sky scrapping condos and not venture outside. Humans can improve on reducing the impact on nature. In this situation though, Safari live helps connect people to the African wild, which helps build a community that wants to protect the Animals and the land in which they live. How should they accomplish their goal of learning, educating for the purpose of conservation of nature and survival of endangered species.
Hooray for SafariLive!! I'm so sorry to all my fellow safarians I haven't been on the drives lately. There has been a tragedy in my extended family and I have been otherwise busy. I'm so sorry, from the bottom of my heart and I really do hope to join you all again soon. Pray for yourselves, and each other. God bless.

Safari Live, James Hendry!!!!, this is one of the absolute best educational videos you have published, IMHO. I hope you have many more of these in store for us! Thanks for you continuous hard work to share Africa around the world!!!!! ❤️🦁🌍
These guides have many years experience in this type of approach. Humans and Lions have interacted for millennia, and contrary to Hollywood Films, Lions would rather warn you and let you go on your way , than wait and attack you!. The Lions aren't stressed by this type of interaction, they react instinctively to ANY threat in the same way. Experts at work, both 2 legged and 4 legged😊👣🐾🐾💐💙💚
No. Your wrong and you got 13 likes cause your a girl. Lions immediately tense up and go into curious mode...yeah if you run after them they might all scatter but they also are in large prides...its not safe and they're not experts, no one is. We stay in vehicles and everything is fine
@@staypositive7 I don't converse with MISOGYNISTS.
@@MrRobmacd90 it's TRUE and you know it. Put a guys picture there with the same message but that's not the point....u dont get it
Oh James Henry .. How I love to hear you explain things in Africa.. 😘
Exciting and somewhat tense sighting but Herbie and James are pros at was they do.
I saw this live!! It was so very exciting!!!! 💘💕James and Herby!! 👍🐱🦁🐯🐘😘
Can you tell me which drive please? :) Wish they would add that to the description.....
@@IHeartAfrica22 I wish I knew the date!! I'm guessing about 2-3 weeks ago. Hopefully safari live will answer!!😘

Good approach from the tracker, ..
The tracker is very good
I heard her roar at the time of the sighting; wow !!! Great discovery James and Herbie :) You guys are truly the experts
That was brilliant on all of your parts - man & beast. And such cute, cuddly cubs. (Great tracker)
How could she not hear you with those loud shorts?
My thoughts exactly! lol
2:18
Oh nvm i read your comment wrong lol
I’ve always heard a lions den referred to as a “crèche”, and this certainly looks like one!
I an so glad purple eyes is protective of her cubs but also knows to trust you two. If she had charged and was shot even with a tranquilizer it would mean she and the cubs would suffer. But I am also glad she was tracked down since it had been so long and we needed to know they were ok. Looking forward to meeting tjese two additions in a few months.
Great video
Saw this live and my heart was racing
Finally we can congratulate purple eye on becoming a mother!
Now it all paws on deck to raise and take care of these 9 little bundles!
Im honestly praying they are all males so the NK coalition of 6 will be born. I wud love these boys to become the next Mopogos in 3 - 5 yrs time and rule the area with an iron claw...
Go Nkuhuma mothers and Avoca dads
Dam, you two were just lucky.
Those shorts immortalized in another video. Lol. I saw this live and I think it was 3 to 4 weeks ago. I'm getting worried that they haven't been found again.
Yayy that is so cool!! So fellow safarians I haven't been viewing because school has been keeping me from staying up... One of these days I will join in a live stream :)
dudes got that GTAV wardrobe
Amazind and scary moment... Epic
What live is this from?
No one can exactly predict the behaviour of these wild animals. One unlucky day all the theory goes to bin.
Purple Eyes Lioness got scare she run to the den for her littleones, worry for her babies poor thing. She see the man with the gun animals do not like you carry anything in your hands they see it as a treat
AND THAT'S WAY.... YOU JAMES, Y O U ARE THE MAN!!!!! And of course #53 too! 💪😎🤙
(Edit)
Long Live JAMES & #53 💪😎🤙
Ain't that right M J 😎🤙
James a fish for you

What if she had attacked to protect her cubs ? You kill her right ? This video would not have been on TH-cam.
Totally against it and I think you people are getting on your high horse thinking you can interact like this with lions. I hope something happens because you need a reality check. This is not right and it interferes with lions, freaks them out and changes everything. Shame on you
Are you a specifically trained certified and documented professional, as they are?
@@IHeartAfrica22 yeah and I know you shouldn't be on foot with them like that. Acting like you can be one with them and no, they dont know what they're doing or they wouldnt be there
@@staypositive7 prove your certifications please. I'm sorry I don't believe you.
@@IHeartAfrica22 that's fine you dont have to but you dont understand what humans look like to them on foot. It should never happen.
@@staypositive7 I DO understand because I have watched this channel and LEARNED from these trained and certified guides for 6 years. I am done with you, bye.
