A river in the savanna - Sounds of Africa

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 เม.ย. 2022
- It's a calm morning by the river Kapamba in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. A few cicadas are winding down their night calls, making room for the daytime sounds of the savanna. The ever-present call of the Cape turtle dove instantly anchors you in the African bush.
The soundscape is nice and even by the river. Birds are calling from trees and bushes nearby, the sounds bouncing back from the treeline and creating a beautiful sense of space. Distant hippos huff and grunt further afield in the Luangwa river, but their sounds barely register so far away. Occasionally some francolin, goose or ibis will be louder than everyone else for a quick second, but then the composition becomes balanced again.
Tying all this together is the calm sound of the river flowing. The Kapamba is one of the quietest rivers I've ever heard. Its flow is by no means small, but the flat landscape and lack of rapids makes it almost silent. You can only hear it if you get close to the edge, which is where I found a bit of driftwood that I planted my microphones on.
Recorded with Sony PCM A10 and Lom mikroUsi microphones at Kapamba Bush camp, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. Shot with Sony A1 and Sony 100-400 GM. Enjoying the videos I upload on here? Feel free to support me by:

I'm back from my expedition to Zambia! I've got loads of media to share with you and will do so over the following weeks. Enjoy this soundscape and please remember to like, share and sub!
One of the most relaxing recordings i've heard on this channel.
Great to hear that Ben :)
One of the best recording of yours in my opinion. So much going on but it doesn’t feel overfilled. In contrary,it feels very harmonious and calm!
That was my aim, great to hear it feels like that.
this is a really stunning recording. Feeling a little stressed right now and this is so soothing.
Thanks for sharing!
Happy to hear it's helping :)
Thanks - very life-like.
You sir got reference in the Behind the sound of electric dreams. Really happy that the first video I see is in Zambia. How you found us on the map is beyond me, but thank you for the footage nonetheless
Amazing!
This is soooo beautiful, delicious sounds to wake up to, all that happy chirping is just perfect… thank you for what you do and for sharing it… 🙏
My pleasure 😊
Thank you, George. Another aural beauty, a visual beauty also.
Thank you, wish TH-cam would stream premieres in 4k. It will look even better once higher quality versions become available.
The sound is incredible. Thank you.
Thank you too!
really great content.sounds are magic.really surprised you dont have more subs.keep it up the consistency
Thanks Liam, I'm slowly getting there.
Beautiful and very soothing sounds! Although it is just puzzling to me where the Cape Turtle Dove gets its perseverance from, it's crazy
Haha, couldn't agree more. The Cape turtle dove seems omnipresent and always calling somehow.
Man your channel are so good
Cheers!
Your videos soothes my soul🎉 brilliant
Glad to hear that.
Omg Love this, thank you!
My pleasure, enjoy!
I love your recordings and travel diary videos. Thanks!
My pleasure, thank you for watching!
A wonderful recording, thanks for posting.
Thanks Fintant!
Hey George, this is awesome! I was researching on audio gear and field audio recording and landed on your videos. I like your rationale of getting natural audio by leaving your gear. This recording is great and gives me great childhood memories growing up with these sounds.
Awesome, thank you!
This is spot on for today's night studying. Thank you for sharing.:-)
You're very welcome, enjoy!
Thanks SO much George!!! Have started following & sharing on Twitter. Stay well mate
Thanks Bryce, much appreciated!
Sounds interesting and quite alien! The video is in slow motion, it gives the impression as the sound is slowed down too.
I can see that too, the water looks a bit like oil. Not the intended effect but I like it.
Very vibrant and full of life. Great recording George.
Thank you :)
The sounds are awesome.
Thanks Todd.
All your sound recordings are my favorite.This one is excellent.Thanks
Thanks Gurdip!
Foarte fain, multam!
Cu placere!
I love this!
Enjoy!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!

Keep going, there’s at least one for sure. I also have a bunch of frog recordings from Madagascar that I will upload soon.
@@GeorgeVlad Nothing like nonstop ribbiting that helps me concentrate. Im one of the lucky ones :)

Wow, che meraviglia! ^__^
Grazie!
Hello George, I love what you have done here in Zambia - congratulations!
I am just back from a week at Faltdogs Camp in South Luangwa and am putting together a short video of about 15 minutes of video clips I recorded from our tent beside a lagoon within the camp grounds for release on TH-cam. I am new to the TH-cam video 'game' and hating the sound of my own voice I have put previous videos of Gambian birds to mood-music (search Bob Webzell) For the first of my Zambian videos it would be good to have a natural sound-track as good as yours - I had a heavy cold as I recorded the video and all I hear is my wheezing and coughing!! Is there any way you would permit me to use part of the soundtrack to 'A river in the savannah' to support my virgining project, I would of course give appropriate credit to you for the sound-track. I would love to hear back from you with your response to my request. THANK-YOU Bob

How many birds do you see? 🙂
More importantly, how many birds do you hear?
@@GeorgeVlad I love the sound of small birds fluttering near the mic
