Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love

Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.

Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Our Packs/Luggage: Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

The first DON'T of safari: Don't get eaten.

hlynnkeith

Well presented and comprehensive. Listen to your guides and take these rules seriously especially this one - do not walk around the campsite after dark without a staff member escorting you.

Ok we were at a luxury camp for sure but I would like to add a few things:
1) Safari walks are amazing!!! You get to experience the small animals too. We saw a buffalo herd, fresh elephant dung, (No elephant) and a angry hippo. So much andrenalin.
2) The thieving and troublesome monkeys!
A long cane helped chase them away
3) Our guide did not want us to share rhino pictures online. They are endangered and people hunt for pictures online to find the Rhinos for poachers.
4) You will get tired so dont plan full days of safaris every day. You can spot animals at your Lodge too.
5) Find a Lodge near water so you can spot animals especially hippos.

I toured the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Maryana! The trip of a lifetime!!!

I was there in 2019, and LOVED Tanzania & Kenya. There is nothing like it in the world, and the great thing about safaris is that you could drive the same exact route everyday and not see the same things twice! Serengeti National Park is truly "Nature's Grandmother" and she deserves to be treated with the utmost respect. Great tips as usual, Mark. :D

Glad to see you guys are doing well. I can't believe how big the boys are getting omg. Time needs to slow down

These are great points, Wolter! African animals are a lot bigger and more unpredictable than one may think 😅 We visit Kruger National Park about once a year, there's nothing scarier than coming around a corner and a massive angry-looking bull elephant 4 times the size of your car is staring you down. Sometimes you can spend an entire day seeing nothing, then see the entire Big 5 the next morning! We hope you're having an awesome time in the Serengeti!

Re: Safari suit. I did a wild camping safari around Kenya and Tanzania travelling in a 4x4 truck. Because the truck had to carry tents and all equipment we were very limited on the amount of luggage we could take. Wild bush camps don't have many facilities so we didn't even have much chance to wash our clothes. Inevitably we all became a bit grubby and probably smelly. In the Serengeti we stopped at a visitor centre and were watching a video about the Serengeti when a woman wearing the whitest safari suit I've ever seen came in. She took one look at our group and walked straight back out. Probably worried in case some of our dirt and smell rubbed off on to her pristine safari suit.
Luxury safaris can be nice for a family holiday but I would highly recommend trying a wild bush camping safari if you don't mind roughing it a bit. One of the best holiday experiences I've ever had.

Just a heads up. When you were talking about the big 5 and mentioned cape Buffalo, you showed footage of a blue wildebeest. They are far smaller and far more common. As well as being significantly less dangerous.

1st rule... don't get out of the jeep🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Your advice about not walking around at night is the most important thing you said. When I was living in Tanzania while working at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, I took a lot of three-day safaris and stayed in lodges. At one of the lodges where I stayed, a young child of an ICTR staff member went out at night and was killed by a leopard. It's flat dangerous even in a lodge. BTW, when you were talking about seeing cape buffalo, the picture you showed was a wildbeast. Another interesting fact is you often see zebras an wildebeast grazing together. Typically, they are in a kind of square and at the corners there are zebra standing watch for predators. It's amazing.
