Antares Bush Camp is a small, self-catering bush camp in the northern parts of Balule, which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park. It's also home to one of my favourite places from which to take wildlife photographs - Umgede Underground Hide - which faces the camp waterhole.

Umgede Hide is arguably the most comfortable underground photography hide in all of Africa, if not the world, and has a fridge, kettle, wifi, charging points, comfortable high-back office chairs, bean bags and gimbals for camera support and a day bed on which you can nap when game viewing is slow.

The owner, Ian Owtram, also keeps record of every single sighting at the hide by means of CCTV cameras, so you can page through the monthly reports to see exactly what came to drink when...

On this trip I invited fellow safari YouTuber, Byron Grobler, with to Antares Bush Camp. Byron runs a channel called WildWild Journeys and it's probably the closest you'll find to what I do here on The Safari Expert Channel on all of YouTube.

We had three amazing days in Umgede Hide, starting with a big herd of thirsty elephants as we arrived at Antares. We also saw lions walk past twice, but unfortunately they didn't drink. Our bird list got to 40 species from within Umgede Hide, which is pretty good for only three days.

I hope you enjoy the video!
