7 weeks in KRUGER - Lost in Kruger Episode 10 FINALE! (4K)

After 7 incredible weeks traveling North to South in Kruger National Park, our trip unfortunately comes to an end! We start this week in Berg en Dal, take my mom and sister for a walk amongst Buffalo, find a gorgeous old Tom Leopard, have a farewell party in Skukuza, have an incredible Green Wood Hoopoe sighting, and then we redo our journey in the opposite direction heading North up the Park, and we say good bye to one of the most special places in the world.

It's been a life changing journey, I truly hope that life takes us to a place where we can spend 7 weeks (or more) in one of the greatest safari destinations on the planet. We were so blessed with the sightings we have had, and I don't think a couple of days or a long weekend in the park will ever feel right again.

Then since the trip, the editing has been intense. If I were to guess I would say each episode is probably about 20-40 hours of editing, literally. I have never put anything like this together on YouTube, and let me tell you, I have even more respect for YouTube creators! I set myself the goal of posting weekly, and didn't quite hit it, but still stuck in a couple of hundred hours behind my MacBook Pro while we were still on the road. I've edited everywhere from rough camping spots in the middle of nowhere, to 5 star lodges overlooking the Indian Ocean. I have learnt so much, and can not wait to apply it to our next series! I'll also be making some videos soon about the more technical stuff I have learnt, stuff that hopefully will save me (and you) hundreds of hours of work.

Due to the success of this series, we've had some unbelievably generous sponsors come on board for Lost in Mozambique, notably iKamper, Gobi-X, SAC Kyalami, and LaCie, as well as a handful of other sponsors. All of which incredibly believe in what we are doing, and have helped us pimp Jabari out even further than I could have imagined. Our next episode will be all about the modifications we have done pre Mozambique. All the support is so so so appreciated, to have people put their money where their mouth is and support what we are doing, is just the most unbelievable feeling. We are so grateful!

Speaking of the next series though, Lost in Mozambique is already happening, and we have 6 episodes in the bag from our first month in Moz. We briefly came back to JHB to get some work done and top up the bank accounts to keep Jabari full of diesel, and we head back to Mozambique soon for hopefully another 3 months. There's less game for the most part, but we have already had some incredible underwater encounters, and we spent two weeks exploring the remote area in and around the Maputo Special Reserve. We also run into some major problems with Jabari after a shockingly negligent installation done by Front Runner in Kyalami, but more on that soon.

I hope you guys enjoy the episode, and as always, thank you so much for the support! I am in the process of setting up a Patreon to help keep us on the road, but in the mean time if you want to support the channel, please hit the like button and share share share! We love doing this, and believe we can make a real difference, Overlanding with Purpose, so hopefully we find a way of making it sustainable.

(Oh please also check out the 4K version, as we're in JHB I got to really flex on quality, and it is beautiful!)
