I've started saving for my trip, and thanks to your videos Volunteer South Africa is the program I've decided to go with :) I can't wait!!! Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with us
Thank you so much Jon for sharing these amazing videos with us here on TH-cam! If I weren't physically disabled, I would truly sign up for this trip. I don't know if I would be able to "keep up" or do some of the things that I see you all doing. Who knows, maybe I'll continue to heal myself and get to experience the Joy that this would bring! Thank you again! Namaste~
Love the big ears on the caracel. I'm so glad you've done these videos and shared your adventures with us (and, it looks like, gotten some more folks to volunteer). Thank you. I would never want to leave, I fear.
Thanks for all your nice comments. Leaving was hard and very sad. Nola is much bigger now. I just uploaded a current picture of her a couple of days ago on twitter :)
I love the big cats , and the lil ones too. Thank you for making this video. Also thank you for caring about the wonderfull animals , and people we share this planet with.
Thanks Thomas. I have a Gopro but I didn't use it this video. For this video I used a Canon 60D and a Canon powershot 110 HS. I liked both but I personally had more interaction with the lions at Living With Big Cats
Man, those lions are so cute! I hope you have had a great time playing with tigers/lions and being in Africa, it seems so awesome to be there with those cute baby lions ^_^
Awwww... if it did'nt cost sooo much I Would already be there. That has been a dream of mine since I was little. Thanks for all the info and videos!. I loved them! :)
After watching this it truly made me realize how much you love animals amd I love them with all my heart the big cats are my favorite but even though I'm 16 years old I want to go to africa and learn more things and meet new people I have a dream to be a zookeeper or other things that have to do with animals
interacted with fully grown cheetahs in Mauritius, it was awesome!! looking forward for more experience with wild cats...thank u for sharing ur videos!!! :)
Hi Joe I Think Your are pretty cool guy. And keep on taking care of those loins cubes. Your doing a great job. And i will keep on looking at your videos. By for now Joe! Anthony Pruitt
Your two series on these programs (Living w/ Big Cats and Living w/ Lions) have inspired me to apply for this one, bring on the big kitties Christmas 2014!
They appear to be hand raised so it's highly unlikely that any of them would attack in a totally wild manner. It's more likely they'd get too excited and hurt you that way but they wouldn't kill you.
how can you join the program, and does it coast anything? i would love to be in it, even tho i'm only 18, that doesent chance anything does it, oh and i'm from Denmark :)
They are hand raised animals so they're used to being around people. They are still wild animals though and there is no way to guarantee they won't. But they would usually only do that if they were provoked somehow so we just had to be really careful. This is why we could only interact with some animals and not all of them
Your videos are incredible. I'm preparing my trip as a volunteer. I watched some or them twice. 2 questions : - your camera, is it a go pro ? - i 'm hesitating between living with lions or bug cats. Which one is the best to get closer to the animals, touch them and to cuddles Cubs ?
Hey Jon, what time of year did you visit South Africa to do your volunteering? Are there any particular months when it would be better than others, like weather wise and such?
This was easily one of the best things I've ever done :)
mann I have butterflies in my stomach, can't resist the cuteness!
Agree
Tania Gavillan sub for sub?

Replayed the beginning a couple of times, just to hear that toasted marshmallow growl again. 😽
I don't see how you can suppress your fear of these big cats just attacking out and eating you out of nowhere so brave o.o
They appear to be hand raised so it's highly unlikely that any of them would attack in a totally wild manner. It's more likely they'd get too excited and hurt you that way but they wouldn't kill you.
Great video.

I kind of got scared when he said they were going to make barbecue. For a second, I thought they were going to barbecue the lions. LOL...

you are really inspiring and I would love to do it when I get older . another thing is how old do you have to be to volunteer cut I am only 10. 🐯🐆🐒😊
Apparently you do it all bro lol good for you!
juuu mužu přijet pomoc s praci o tyhle krasny šelmy.
Your videos are incredible. I'm preparing my trip as a volunteer. I watched some or them twice.
2 questions :
- your camera, is it a go pro ?
- i 'm hesitating between living with lions or bug cats. Which one is the best to get closer to the animals, touch them and to cuddles Cubs ?
Or u can do both like he did. This is pretty cool I should try this when I get older
awwww, so cute
Hey Jon, what time of year did you visit South Africa to do your volunteering? Are there any particular months when it would be better than others, like weather wise and such?
