Our camera decided it wasn’t gonna play along on the day we shot this video! So we made an experienced amateur 1855 movie clip! We really weren’t keen on flying the drone as the Hippos looked so peaceful and we didn’t wanna scare them back into the water. This was the first time we had ever been able to find the whole Hippo pod basking on land! Starring Keira (AfriCanis dog), hippos and crocodiles. Super fun day at the Lake.

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDVFHXJtIBE[/embedyt] We were so excited to find our very first Hippo. After months of trying to find Hippos we finally were able to see one. Although he was in the distance and all we could see was his head when he came up for air. It was a Hippo!!! This was a special mission of mine to find the Hippo as it was my mom’s favorite animal! So sort of this video and the Hippo Pod video goes out to you, mom hope you watched it from heaven! Drone Talk: I really tried my best to get the glare less with color grading in post editing but obviously I still have a lot to learn. This footage was taken before the Hippo Pod video and as you can see I did not take the time of day and the position of the sun in to consideration. It was noon 12pm and I flew directly into the sun – reflection on the water. Now I know better – get the sun to your back! I’m slowly learning and making many needed mistake as this will only make me a better wildlife drone operator. For Example with the Hippo Pod video – Lake Sibaya was smooth as glass and when I tried to find anything in the water – I could only see dark green – I had no reference points – no ripple or reflection. I did though; get awesome clouds reflecting in the water and super happy about that.
This little babies footprint is round about 10cm – 12cm long which leads us to believe the baby is about 2-3 weeks old Wow what an extraordinary year it has been!!! With the Covid -19 and all the death surrounding most of the world we are still privileged enough to find that the world around us is still teaming with new life! We would love to welcome our newest member to Sodwana Bay, Lake Sibaya ~ South Africa. [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UozTyEhERqM[/embedyt] A baby Hippo we suspect was born to our favorite Hippo Pod about 2-3 weeks ago! As of yesterday we have counted 4 babies and the newest addition (that we have not yet seen) will be the 5th baby in this tiny pod! NB! These are not actual facts. All of our statistics are speculated and are not proven! Welcome Baby Hippo… Hope to see you soon! So as of what we know there are at least 6 adults and now 5 babies with brings the total amount of members to 11 Hippos, no doubt there are many more in the lake, but yet again the Lake is the largest Fresh water lake in South Africa and is claimed to have the second largest population of Hippos in South Africa, we are lucky to be able to witness this little Family grow! If you come to Sodwana for a winter holiday, be sure to visit Lake Sibaya. Winter is the best time to see Hippos and Crocodiles out on land! Please be considerate of others when doing game drives, we all get excited seeing wildlife and sometimes get over eager. When spotting Hippos and Crocs try drive much slower and stop a fair distance as to not spook the animals back into the water! This will help considerably to get that perfect natural calm photo! Good luck to our newborn, can’t wait to see you soon! Check out all the need to know about these Magnificent Mammals! – Hippos @ Sibaya Lake – Sodwana Bay ~ South Africa
