Great promo video for Ikoma Bush Camp, on the edge of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The clip shows the lodging accommodations, detailed room photos and the eating and restaurant facilities. It also highlights some of the animals you'll see near the camp, as well as during both day and night safaris. Notable are the giraffes and elusive leopard!

Great short clip of elephants taking a bath on a Serengeti safari in Tanzania. It's fun to see the elephants splashing around getting cool and clean, but even better is the enormous number of elephants in the herd in the background - I've never seen that many elephants in one video clip before!

Warning - this giraffe fight filmed on safari in Tanzania is pretty vicious. Both giraffes seem to walk away unharmed, but the speed and viciousness of their neck attacks are something to behold, and the shocked comments from the tourists in the video only add to that. We observed similar behaviour first hand on our trip to Africa, but nothing as forceful and loud as this. As far as I know, the truly devastating attacks come from their hind legs, but still...

Great promotional video for Richard Roberts's exclusive luxury camp in the Masai Mara in the heart of Kenya. The video shows the flight into the camp, then various jeep safari adventures, seeing the requisite zebras, wildebeest, hippos, giraffes, lions, rhinos, elephants, etc. What makes this video work for me is the camera work and editing - the richness of the landscape colours and wildlife is very compelling; and all in a soft-sell approach. Very nice!

Not for the squeamish, here's an extended video of crocodiles in the Serengeti doing their "death roll" to tear apart their prey, a wildebeest. Over 6 minutes long, the video starts calmly enough, but eventually there are around 6 crocodiles, each rolling and enjoying their meal. At the end, one of the crocs saunters onto land, clearly full and happy!
