Exploring the African bush and telling the stories along the way.
Sleeping With Elephants And Lions - Primitive Trail In The Greater Kruger
Experiencing the bush and African wildlife on foot is an experience not many are lucky enough to have. And if you have experienced it, you know there is nothing else that compares to it. In this short film, I share my experience of a primitive trail in the Greater Kruger National Park.

On this trip, myself and my family head to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park on a 10 day photographic adventure. The trip ends up being one of my favourite so far and a massive tick off my bucket list.
Absolutely stunning videography and photography. Well done
thank you for sharing! glad you could experience the magic of wild camping at polentswa
Wowww just wowww...amazing and thrilling..
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Brilliant. A primitive trail is definitely on my bucket list. Greg from Manukuza is such a legend. Did a tracking course with him not so long ago. Thanx for the video. Keep them coming.
Awesome! Greg is a legend for sure :) You should definitely do a primitive with him!
Awesome content! Thank you for sharing, just discovered your channel. Great to see another UA-camr family from Cape Town. Look forward to more from your channel 🔥
Great experience. I've only done 3 trails in the Kruger, but the primitive trail sounds great! Thamk you for sharing
Definitely worth it to do a primitive trail :) Such an awesome experience!
Great videos Matt. I am travelling from the UK for my annual visit to the Kgalagadi, absolutely love the place! I am picking up a hired Fortuner and will be using a Gimpro door mount, for the first time. Did you have any issue with the fit?
Thanks David! The fit is a little bit finicky on the Fortuner. If you try mount it straight (perfectly horizontal) on either side of the door it doesn't really fit. The left hand side clamp should be straight and the right hand side clamp should be angled upwards and fit on the the door where it comes down at an angle from the window. Then it fits perfectly. Just make sure you adjust it for this angle. There are so many adjustments on the Gimpro and once you figure them all out, you can get a nice snug fit. I learnt the hard way and got a chip out the paint. Also, importantly, the Gimpro comes with a second loose clamp like fitting. Put this under the left hand side clamp. With all the corrigations, if this clamp isn't fitted, I found that it moved after a while and I even had to restick the leather on to the clamps because it came off. With this on, it stops the Gimpro from moving. Hope this helps! Reach out if you have any other questions.
Hi Matt. Thanks for the reply, that's really useful. I would rather know the fit is not 100% and be prepared for that. I am hoping to get the shot with the Jackal taking the Sandgrouse, I have been told Cubitje Quap is the waterhole for that?
I've heard of but never seen the Jackal at Cubitje Quap who catches the doves and grouse. The female at Polentswa is always there and it's almost as if she puts on a show. When you arrive she starts circling and goes for the birds. We saw her 3/4 times on the last trip. You will also find the Lanner falcons here who catch the Queleas. In October last year and in April this year we had the two male lions at this waterhole. It's by far my favourite in the park so I'd really recommend it!
@@MattGeri Matt that is great info, I am staying at Nossob for a few days so will certainly try at Polentswa. I've been lucky with Lanners at a few waterholes. On a couple of occasions, I've also seen Black Headed Herons catching Quelea at a waterhole on the Upper Dune Road. Thanks again.
Nice job, Matt. Some really beautiful shots there. I too will be travelling from the UK, and I keep thinking I need to get a GimPro. I've tried all sorts from vehicles, but nothing has really worked so far
Great episode once again
Thank you! Been away in the Kruger, but looking forward to watching your latest Bots episode!
Nice how you show your camera settings👌. May I ask who the Troopy friend was? Wondering if they are on our Troopys in Africa group.
Again, apologies for the dirty sensor in some of the shots, ugh! The audio under narration also somehow messed up, but we live and learn! Hope you enjoy the episode.
I really enjoyed that, Matt! 😎
@@MattGeri, thanks man! I always love ‘meeting’ new(er) UA-camrs that share a passion! I also live vicariously through your and their viddies when I haven’t been to a place for years… 😛 Keep up the good work 💪🏻
Great video and awesome photography. Can’t wait for the next uploads
Thank you very much! Looking forward to sharing more in the coming weeks :)
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed it and subscribe for the next episode. Also, for those with a keen eye, apologies for the dirt specs on my sensor! I was extremely annoyed with myself when I got home and saw the specs in the footage. Next time I will be sure to clean my lens/sensor consistently!
