Very nice, professionally produced 7 minute video. But I've seen essentially the same wildebeest and big cat scenes many, many times and in HD on cable TV channels, Nat Geo, Disc, Apl, A&E, etc. In fact, just today over lunch watched most of an hour of BBC's Big Cat Diary. So kindly show me something new or unique to the Mara or Governors camps. Well, ok then, there are a couple of short 1.5 min videos also there that show you around the three Governors camps. That should be interesting to you if you haven't been to Governors camps. Which we were for 5 nights in Sep of 2006, and would go back anytime.

Thank you for the link, I don't seem to look up anything on YouTube so I would have missed this. I have not been to Governor's Camp and enjoyed the video very much.

Glad you all liked it

Steve, FP and scruffy: Pleasure!

ShayTay - aren't these cheetahs just wonderful?! LOVE them! I am so glad to see a relatively healthy population!

Tom,
new to me was the extreme low water level at the crossings.
Of course similar sequences have been shot and showed for years on end. Safari in general is a deja vû, isn't it? And still we all travel again and again to experience it ;-)

Have all a great WE!

SV

Your right SV, I did enjoy it anyway . Just I guess I wanted something more about the camps themselves. And it is there on other videos if you look for it.

It seems other camp web sites are adding video of the camp. MalaMala has one (rather dramatic in presentation) that very nicely promotes MM. It shows each of their three camps and elaborates on each. Shows what a game drive in a open Land Rover is like. Along with super (Joubert quality) big five scenes. Has some interesting statistics about big five sightings and short interviews with famous wildlife film makers who have filmed there. Plays about 7 min, but not on youtube, on MM web site. Super video about a safari camp, everyone here should watch it (even if they are not a big fan of MM ).

regards - tom
