The video includes a safari drive inside Etosha National Park with several thrilling close-up encounters with wild animals: lions (with cubs), leopards, rhinos and elephants to name a few.

This was like entering a little adventure. Which starts when you enter the hotel door. Where you enter a litle castle, decorated in a fusion of Arabic-African style. The suites you showed in the video had beautiful colors. I liked it best with purple tones. Furthermore, you will be on a fantastic adventurous journey of all the fantastic creatures a jungle can show off. Another beautiful video, with beautiful pictures and music. Wonderfully good because I again forgot time and place, and I could dream away. A wonderful ending on a spectacular journey!

Such an amazing abundance of wildlife! And a stressful environment for prey animals such as giraffes with all the lions about. Those cute lion cubs have got to eat and mom is on the hunt. And that is the way of the wild. As a human, I would definitely feel more safe in a fortress-like lodge such as Onguma--lol. I shall miss Nimibia--so beautifully presented to us by our master filmographer, Dr LTE. It's been a grand experience and it's nice to know I can re-visit any time I want to :)

as a senior giraffe, i take offense to your comments and wish the humans could feel my existential fears every minute of there lives so that they may live it as if it were there last. So much time is wasted by those who are privileged enough to think they have more of it.

@@Saki630 I love giraffes and it grieves me that they live in fear. And sharing their space with lions means giraffes and other animals are in constant danger, especially the little ones. I most certainly did not mean to offend you :(

Ok, this might be a very stupid question. What keeps lions from jumping on the deck of that pool and eating you? I'll fully admit to camping in places where predators live but I also have bear spray (pepper spray) and my Smith and Wesson. You would think the liability would be high on that. I mean, as they say, it all fun and games until someone gets hurt!

Спасибо за ваш ролик, очень интересно смотреть из заснеженной Москвы на диване. Вы такой смелый человек, что так далеко погружаетесь в Африку. Наверное делали какие-то дополнительные прививки от малярии. Интересные блюда, но такие же и в Москве, но только больше по объёму. Самое любимое животное это жираф, но в Москве в зоопарке требование его не кормить, потому что он болеет. А тут такие красивые и здоровые животные.
