The Waterhole Diaries – Experience South African Wildlife Up Close
The Waterhole Diaries follows Charlie Hudson (50), who has lived almost his entire life in the bushveld, bringing you into the real world of South African wildlife. Our nature and wildlife videos showcase animals in their natural habitat, capturing raw bush sounds, birdsong, and chirping insects. Everything is filmed using high-quality cameras, infrared lighting, and professional microphones – far from city noise and human disturbances.
A Unique Viewing Experience
With The Waterhole Diaries, you feel as if you are right there in the bush. The combination of 4K video and high-end sound production creates an immersive experience, perfect for television, computer, or large screens at our lodge. Every video is made with passion by true South Africa enthusiasts and wildlife experts.
New Videos and Exclusive Content
