Byron, you are a master film-maker and story-teller and have just quite possibly posted the best ever video about Mana Pools on TH-cam! But more than that, you are a super human being - having you along on this wild wild journey was such a pleasure and we can’t wait to share more sightings, beers and jokes with you in the future, hopefully in the wildest of places… Until next time 😉
That means a lot, thanks so much man! Thanks for taking me along on this trip of a lifetime and I also can’t wait for more adventures 😁
This got to be one of the best wildlife videos I have ever seen.
I am absolutely stunned.
You have a gift of storytelling, and I am privileged to be able to take part of it.
Thank you!
Wow, thanks so much for the amazing feedback 🙏🏼
with this sort of film making i wouldnt be surprised to hear of you taking part in the biggest nature documentaries globally, awesome stuff
Woah, thanks so much! Super encouraging 🙏🏼
Wow wow wow, Byron.....you are an incredible story teller and you weave the magic of your spectacular photography and videography with incredible musical score,which just adds to whole package of viewing magic which captivates from start to finish.
Well done Brother

Exceptional work and look forward to the next adventure you're heading to
Well done Bud!
Thanks so much, Cole!
Your camera tracking of that African skimmer was excellent. The rest of the video is great too. Amazing footage
Thank you. Those Skimmers are incredibly fast, not sure how I managed.
Probably the best wildlife video I've seen! Amazing💪
That’s amazing, thank you!
Needless to say, you've done it again. Taken us on a special journey into the beautiful bush. Some truly amazing footage and experiences. Well done Byron.
Thanks Matt! Glad you enjoyed it
This is the best Mana Pools video I have ever watched. Love from Zimbabwe
Wow, that means a lot, thanks so much! Love your country 🇿🇼
Byron you have nourished my soul yet again. Never stop doing this.
I'm also so pleased you are 'teaming' with Villiers, he's my other fav Safari guy.
I can't believe how those trees dwarfed the ellies. I'd love to see it for myself soon. I'll nag you for advice 😅.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much, Michael! Was great to be there with Villiers 💯 you should definitely try get there someday, you’ll love it!
I was here this time last year from New Zealand and although I had numerous photos and videos I shared with friends and family the true visual magic and energy this unbelievable place is was not captured as you indeed have. . This took me back there with you and I could almost smell it again.. Kiora.. Much gratitude.
Thanks so much. Glad this was able to take you back there again
Yoo family wake up
Wild wild journeys posted a epic new video!😂
I have been waiting for this!!!😮
Haha thank you! 🙌🏼👊🏼
Absolutely stunning video Byron! This must be the best video we've ever seen of my favourite park in Southern Africa, I can never get enough of Mana Pools regardless of having to drive the gauntlet of terrible roads!
Your footage is truly exquisite. I loved the African Skimmer, wish I had seen them when we were there in July.
You have to love Nyamepi & all it's resident ellies.
BTW Lovemore took Gavin & Jimmy walking at Chitake Springs while we were there. Great guy!
Great to see you together with @TheSafariExpert Villiers & Tabby, what a fantastic combination you guys make!
Loved every minute of this video, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🙌🏼*
Thank you so much, that’s amazing to hear. The Skimmer is one of my fav birds now! That’s great, all the staff there are amazing. Lovemore was fantastic..
Was great to share the experience with Villiers and friends 🙏🏼
Ekse, Your channel deserves to be on 100k subs just based on your quality content
Woah, thank you!
So many happy memories of Mana and you have captured the spirit of that magical place beautifully.
Thanks so much Rob!
What a privilege to meet you guys with your friends @thesafari expect !!!
At long pool birder paradise and the world infested crocodile pool .
Great pleasure to meet you too!
This is the most magnificent footage J have ever seen. Thank you. I enjoy your lack of ego . Brilliant
I really appreciate that, thank you
Stunning!
Thanks!
Great stuff man! Super content - the quality of your filming is top-notch, and I really enjoyed watching your visit to Mana Pools. As a fellow bush lover tuning in from Europe, this brought back so many great memories of the wild. Keep up the fantastic work - I look forward to watching this channel grow.
Wow thanks so much, I’m happy to bring some memories of the bush over to you there! Thanks for being here
Some incredible shots here. This is so incredibly well done. Tremendous.
Thanks Michael, I really appreciate that
@@WildWildJourneys You deserve a million subscribers
thank you!, love all your videos, but this one was perfectly special. keep up the amazing work 👏
Thank you so much!
Another beautiful production 😩😍
Thank you!
Magical, immersive, like a sorcerer you have hypnotised your audience
It’s reassuring to know such special places exist❤
Thank you so very much!
Agreed!
Once again you've made a wonderful film. You really do have an eye for this. Thank you for an informative, excellent video. Another place for our bucket list.
Thank you so much. Hope you can get there someday
Boy you had fun. Love your editing and camera eye. I believe Mana pools is in the top 4 of Africa's best national parks. I might be biased being a Zimbo myself but I am sure many would agree. The place is magical. I hope they keep the Ellies population in check otherwise we will lose all those trees that make the place a mystical paradise.
The bird life is incredible too.
Thanks so much, we had the time of our lives! I would agree with that for sure even though I still many others to visit.. was also super impressed by the birdlife
Water is the biggest issue that is affecting these parks because of the drought there’s no doubt that this is one of the best wildlife documentary to come out of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Thanks so much! Really hope the drought ends soon 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Great video Byron! This is best video by far. The skimmer shot was incredible and Boswel showing up gave me goosebumps! Thank you for taking us with you to mana pools
Thank you! The Skimmer might just be my new favorite bird
Wow, this is hands down the best video I’ve ever seen of Mana Pools! You’ve captured the beauty and essence of the place so well-breathtaking shots and amazing storytelling. It really feels like you’ve brought the wild to life. Congrats on an incredible job! Looking forward to seeing more from you.
That’s incredible to hear, thank you so very much!
Beautiful episode, I am planning to visit this place next year and nyamepi campsite is my preferred choice
Thank you.. you’re going to absolutely love it!
Fabulous video, Byron. It was a great pleasure meeting you all while walking with the mighty Boswell. Will subscribe to your channel for sure. See you out there again!
Thanks so much, Morkel. Pleasure meeting you out there like that as well

🎉 you are cut above the rest ! What any editing.

I worked in Mana for 5 years… Goliath Camp… and Givers was fantastic to work with… motors and engines… from the landless to the water pumps he kept the camp running.
Must’ve been amazing to be there for 5 years. Could tell that Givers is a remarkable man. Happy to have met him
Top notch stuff! Thank you for sharing this with us! Very well done - so great to watch and really got the senses going. Mana Pools is just the most magical place!
Thanks so much, Andrew! Magical indeed…

Another wonderful video from the Master Storyteller.
Thank so much, appreciate you watching these!
What a beautiful video Byron 👏👏👏. You have captured the magic and majesty of what I believe to be one of the most magical places on earth. To me, Mana Pools is the beating heart of Africa and I fell in love with this place on the very first time we visited in 2019. Your videos just keep getting better and better and I can’t wait to see your next production.
Thanks so much, Joe. To be fair, the beauty and magic of the place made it very easy to capture. Agree with it being the beating heart of Africa 💯
Hey Byron, this has to be the best video you have made. We so enjoyed it.
Wow, that’s amazing to hear. Thank you so much
Epic!
Perfect Byron. ❤
Thank you!
What an incredible video!
Thank you!
Nicely created Byron . It was good to meet you at Mana during my one month long stay , you kindly helped a friend with her file transfer on her PC , much appreciated . Mana is a very unique and wild park . I have photographed it for many years now , it always delivers more than one expects . But never go with expectations , this season was the best year I have experienced in terms of sightings. You did a fantastic job on your videography , well done . Best wishes Ross Sayers Photography .
Thanks so much, Ross. It was great meeting you too. Very wise words there as well. Good to hear you had great sightings this year!
@@WildWildJourneys keep up the great work Byron , you got a great channel which I throughly enjoy , this one you did justice to a special place where I was born . You had a brief stay but you captured lots in that time , Mana is doing it tough again this season with what looks like a bad drought with just about all but long pool drying up totally if they don’t receive rain soon , I fear the worst if they don’t get rain soon sadly . It’s the food the wildlife don’t have , water is plenty because of the Zambezi . Stay well .
Excellent video
Thank you
Thank you so much for an amazing video of a place very dear to me. There is no place like it. It is wilderness at its best.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it
I know it's long video but I want to watch more and more cuz your video is amazing ❤
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful shots
Fabulous 🤩 keep it 🔥🔥
Thank you!
You’re amazing!
Very nice, thank you Byron. WHen I get to RSA next time, I will head up to Mana Pools. I was in the defense forces there many years ago.
Thank you. That’s a great idea, I’m sure a return would be fantastic
Awesome trip and one of the best videos of Mana I have ever seen. Those shots at 41:04 and 41:08 are breathtaking...May I know which time of the year was this filmed?
Thank you so much! This was a month ago, mid-September. The Zambezi was low enough for the elephants to quite easily walk across...
Wow.....nothing else to say
Thank you!
Jys Dez mun. Meaning Good
Wow.
Thank you
47:50 The power of manifestation is real.
