- Join us on a game drive in the otherwise harsh desert landscapes of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier park. The park transformed into a lush green landscapes even covering the red sand dunes. It is a time of abundance that does not come every year. It is also understandable that we experienced the most amazing birds as well as great predator interactions from a Cheetah Kill to a Lion kill to many Leopard sightings All available on this video with its original sounds of the Kgalagadi. Turn up those speakers and feel as if you are right next to us.

Hi Joe, I enjoyed your video. I love the wild life in Africa. I want to thank you for looking after these beautiful creatures. People that shot these beautiful creatures for a trophy, will have to answer for it one day.
Thank you and agree Victor
Great to see the rainfall was plentiful in the Kgalagadi too this year. There was an abundance for all. One my favourite sights after a rainfall was the sight of cobras on the road for a few days afterwards.
Yes Well i have never seen so many rodents as this year and am not surprised the cobras (and all reptiles) are abundant yes. It is indeed a year of plenty.
Brilliant. Cant stop watching Joe's videos. Keep them coming Joe!!

😂😃♥️♥️I luviee yuuu
for sharing yur passions with exerlent beauty of a view
Keep safe
Thank you for the kind message . Stay in touch
I am from England. I last visited Kgalagadi in February 2020 when the drought was severe. Great to see the transformation from arid desert to standing water and green vegetation. Let us hope we do not have to wait another 25yrs+ for it to happen again.
It is what it is. All the animals have adapted to the harsh conditions and actually prefer the arid habitat so if it rains like this all year we will not see this animals anymore. There are habitats for all kinds of nature . And with global warming presumably creeping up to us these animals will be the last to survive as they have adapted to survive without abundant surface water. So ya I prefer the desert to be desert.
This is stunning!!! Never we have seen the Kgalagadi so green!!! Very impressive Video, thank you for that, i love the original sound...
Txs Seb
I have been visiting since the 70's and have never seen it green. Always seem to time visits at the end of winter. This year was exceptional after the good rains. Thanks for the work you put into these excellent videos.
Thank you for watching
The green Kgalagadi is amazing, I visited the park for the first time in February 2020 and it was green like this too, truly magical.
Nice visuals Joe & co... we have just got back after 10 days... very different to experience such a lush Kgalagadi.. saw same Lioness and 4 cubs
Txs and yes it is a different world with the green environment. Its good to see the animals are fat and plenty but I love the red sand of the arid dry seasons.
So beautiful. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is my favorite park :-))
Stunning video. Each frame is fantastic 👍
Thanks for watching Ramesh.
Thank you Joe. There should be more people like you in this world. When I look at these beautiful animals. My mind is at peace. I was lucky to have 16 spotted deers on my property , and an Ostrich. Now I have 1 Emu and 14 sheep. I am from Australia Perth. I am enjoying your video. God Bless you.
Cheers mate. Keep in touch.
Magical! Thank you for sharing.
Once again thanks Joe for excellent upload..
As if I'm watching live at safari itself..on my toshiba..
Txs Hakeem appreciate
Brilliant footage - can feel your passion for the Kalahari -
Sure was an amazing trip - great sightings and a privilege to see it this green, Joe. I saw it nearly as green in Feb 2012...
Morkel yes I must agree with the level of green, however the thickness of the growth and the variety of plants is on a different level now and certainly. Just returned yesterday again and the gemsbok komkommer and tsammas are also more that I have seen in decades
Great footage... Thank for this! So green and lush!
Thank you glad you enjoyed
May Allah the Creator and the Sustainer of the Universe bless you and the team with the best in returns for your yeoman service of video recording of His creations. Ameen. Thanks.
Thank you very much
Wow so green and an apt videography!
I visited the Kgalagadi desert way back in 1984 in winters. Only sand and some ostrich we saw. Greetings from India.
Wow n kgalagadi fan in India. Yes summer is best time to visit! Best sightings
Thanks Joe ... amazing to see the green lush area also around Urikaruus .
Such a natures wonder is the Kgalagadi and so beautifully filmed and photographed. May it be protected always, with tourist cameras' and not guns', for the generations to come and learn about, marvel and also consider careers in wildlife conservation. Thank you so very much from a bleak day in Scotland.
The sounds.... awesome
Wow that leopard is beautiful!
Joe , you really create some wonderful imagery . Your videography is also superb as is your commentary. What a pleasure. Thanks you.
Thank you Clifford Appreciate and thanks for the support. Working on some awesome stuff that took me many years with much better results. Stay in touch and look at my members perks on other levels. .
This is a wonderful video of Kalahari & Kalagadi. Thank you Hardus & Joe it’s such a blessing to see this so green. I watch Wild Earth & they also show Tswalu, which is a green oasis & still getting rain! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Stay safe. Love from Alberton
Txs Wendy. Go well
Hi Joe, amazing video thankyou.
Appreciate Andrew.
Amazing stuff! You are doing a great job bringing us the wildlife of Africa to the comfort of our homes! Thanks for sharing!!
Txs Daniel. Stay in touch
This is very beautiful.thanks a lot.
Thank you for watching
We met Hardus at Keimoes on the way up and saw your vehicles a few times in the park. Absolutely fantastic footage and you guys captured the green of the Kgalagadi, the big and the small exactly as it was. In my opinion this is your best video to date.
Txs Jo

Good to add the birdlife you hear as well - if you can
It would be. We will start working towards it.
It would be delightful if the names of the birds are given in the text also.
Hi Joe
I just found your channel and you have a new subscriber :) I had my first experience with the African Bush last march when I took my son to Kruger. on a self drive. Im so addicted now its become an obsession. I can't wait to return in 2023. The agonizing part is trying to sort out where to go next !!! Have been researching Masai Mara and Serengeti, but then South Africa and Botswana seem to have so much more to offer too !!! Its going to drive me nuts AHHHHH haha. Keep up the great work.
Hi There. You cant beat South Africa Namibia and Botswana. The kgalagadi is the best and its next to Botswana and Namibia so I just made it easy for you. Stay in touch and I will help you with program
27°-30° is 'cool'! 😄
Dit is
Hi Joe. Daardie valk is Redneck Falcon nie 'n Lanner nie.
Watter een Wiehan?
@@joelategan Die een op die grond met die duif 32:21 min in op video
@@wehahngeldenhuys3902 ja dis wat ek sê. Jyt mos gesê dis n lanner. Ek verstaan nie nou nie.
@@joelategan Nee, lees weer. Dis nie 'n Lanner nie Falco Chicquera ook genoem red headed merlin of red headed falcon maar ons noem hom 'n redneck falcon. Julle was gelukkig om daai footage te kry want hulle is nie altyd baie volop in die dag nie en baie mense daar sien hulle nie eers nie.
@@wehahngeldenhuys3902 ok het dit ja dis toe Hardus gery en afgeneem het het hy hom vinnig gekyk en n lanner genoem maar ons het gesien toe ons edit dis n redneck. Ekt vergeet hy het dit in die video lanner genoem sorry maar ek weet dis n redneck. Ons moes dit in die titling verander het eintlik. 🥴
thank you for amazon video! I've seen it twice already. You said you've been there in the middle of January. All those flowers are normally comming that time? It is beautiful!
Hi Elena. Thanks for watching. Yes the flowers are our at end of January already if there were rains towards end of December and beginning of January but at the best around February
this is lovely
Appreciate Andrew
Absolutely awesome!
Txs Simphiwe
Never mind the incredible sound track. Immersing.
Thanks Cliff.
We hope to travel to the Kgalagadi in September, in your opinion Joe, with the region having had so much rain., what will be the effect on sightings by this time ? Compared to the usual dry dusty desert ?
Hi Andrew, by then the green will be long gone but there will be a lot of dry grass that could make spotting a little bit more difficult than with a green backdrop as animals here are mostly camouflaged for dry conditions. October November is my favorite time with end January but I basically don’t consider the season although to me the kalahari at its driest and harshest is the best photographically. So theres no reason that it should be worst than during the lush green in Jan, Feb and March. The natural water holes would be dried up so the manmade holes would be visited more than during the rainy season when animals drink everywhere in the veld from rain water. So sept is pretty much Kalahari landscape again and with all the lambs there would be plenty of food around for predators. In short no reason not to be exited about your trip it can in essence be very good. I can do a whole write up for you but it would be pretty dry again as the rain water evaporate at the speed of light in the kalahari. So you can get the same action as any other time . Animals must eat and predators must eat. The predator prey interaction cycle carries on. The resident animals will be much more due to the good population growth.
So best of luck and keep me informed. Stay in touch may e we can catchup if Im there.
@@joelategan Thats very kind of you Joe. I will let you know if we manage to travel .regards Andrew
Hi Joe altyd goed om oor en oor na jou videos te kyk. Hoop jy onthou my nog. Het altyd by jou restaurant in Kleinmond geeet . Lekker seekos en groot glase wyn. Ek het in Bettysbaai gebly.
Hi Jackie. Ek antwoord jou nou die derde keer op dieselfde boodskap . Ja ek onthou
I noticed that the one leopard was eating grass. Is that indicative of some sort of health issue, or is just something they all do occasionally???
All natural and perfectly normal. It assists in digestion same as with almost all canines doing it from time to time.
Hi Joe onthou jy my , Ek het altyd by jou restaurant geeet in Kleinmond . Kabeljoes. Jackie Sim
Hi Joe, what are the two birds perched together in the opening shot of the video? Juvenile Pale Chanting Goshawk's?
Micronisus gabar. Gabar goshawk juvenile
..or pale chanting goshawks but the chanting sounds more like the gabars. What do you think. I always have to toss between the two at this juvenile stage of their lives.
Excellent footage! Was the camera/lens used the 300mm 2.8 and d500?
No Tamron
@@JoesCamera o really, what camera/lens?
Cant tell. My colleague used hired equipment for the shoot. We have a range that we hire different for each trip as a test of equipment as well. I think it was Nikons camera with Tamron 300 2.8
Love the video but couldn't finish it. Way too many ads, every 3 minutes.
Try again
"The nice yellow flowers." Jy bedoel die donnerse dubbeltjies?
Net so! Gewag laat iemand dit optel ek moet jou eintlik n prys gee😂
Can you share your camera and video gear. Thank you. 🙏
Vivian I see even affordable cameras with good lenses do the job
wonderful footage, like always! Kgalagadi ist one of my favorites: th-cam.com/video/6tqsgITycVs/w-d-xo.html
Too much unnecessary talking. Please allow viewers to enjoy the beauty if nature
Jeanette thank you for watching This is just a fun report back on game drives and is meant to have voice or human interaction. It is not a wildlife film. You can watch “This is the kalahari” film first up on the page. You cant please them all and after close to a million views you are the first to ask us to shut up. .. i always say Doing video productions is like the restaurant business that I am also in. You can cook the greatest meal there will be one that thinks his taste buds are the best thing since walking on the moon (not that this is the case with you) . We thus have to guide this carefully and then try and please most people although I am not a crowd pleaser I do what I love and those that associate must be inspired and those that dont must find something to their liking as it is impossible to please all. It must however be evaluated before one cook again ( or produce again) THIS VIDEO is going for 100000 views in a short time normally a indication that it is doing ok with our small niche in SA. But.. I will dedicate a video just to you at some stage and notify you as I do get your point.
Just bear in mind we do a variety of genres within the kgalagadi. Some are wildlife films, some are plain report backs, some are photographic specific, some are competition related etc. Each requiring a different take. Sorry we couldn’t satisfy your taste buds this time. Please dont watch the April report back that will be uploaded on Saterday as it is my report back of how the environment changed from the lush green to the transitional phase and all the observations we made. Without voice I would not have had a production. I am workin on a new film that will have less voice (a followup to THIS IS THE KGALAGADI) . I think you will prefer this.
All the best
Joe
@@JoesCamera Thanks for your reply. i didn't mean to offend you and really appreciate what you are doing to bring our beautiful country to us less fortunate than you. kind regards. Jeanette
@@jeanettevandenberg6611 I appreciate and do get your critique.
