Top 10 African wildlife videos on YouTube

If you’re like me and you love African wildlife action, you’ve probably spent countless hours glued to your screen on some of the amazing footage out there. 🙂

Today I’d like to share a few of the best African wildlife videos I’ve ever come across (so far) on YouTube.

The top 10 selection is based on a couple of criteria: popularity (number of views), personal favorites, and most touching/entertaining.

NB: The list only includes amateur video footage. For National Geographic videos or any other professional recordings, check out the bonus list at the end of the post.

Feel like I missed out part of the fun (which is most likely the case)?

Make sure you list your favs in the comments section.

Enjoy! 😉

Top 10 Best African Wildlife Videos

1. Battle at Kruger

Perhaps the most popular African wildlife video known on YouTube.

Amazing encounter between lions and buffalo and… I won’t say another word, just watch it! 🙂

2. Mountain Biker Hit by Buck

Crazy antelope vs mountain biker footage. Not for the faint of heart.

3. The Kamikaze Impala

A herd of impala leaps across the road, unaware that it’s leopard territory. Very bad move, and an unfortunate end for the poor antelope.

4. Baby Elephant Steals the Show

It’s play time at Hluhluwe Umfolozi, as a joyful herd of elephants is having a refreshing mud bath.

What’s so interesting about mud baths, you might say? Well, you’re about to find out…

5. Touched by a Wild Mountain Gorilla

An unforgettable encounter between man and beast. Wish I was there. 🙂

6. Let Me Out!

Amboseli Trust comes to the rescue as baby elephant gets stuck in a muddy pond.

The ending literally brought me to tears.

7. Tug of War

When a coalition of male lions take down a young buffalo, the rest of the herd decides to strike back. 3 vs. 300 battle!

Who’s going to win? Bets are open.

8. What a Bully

Just another indication that hippos should be dealt with extreme precaution. 😉

Would’ve been interesting to see a picture of the 4×4 after the collision.

Anyone knows if it’s still on duty? 🙂

9. Friendly Cheetah

Did the cheetah mistake the Jeep for a termite mound? I guess we’ll never know. 🙂

Love it when the tourist is taking pictures with his iPhone. Too bad he didn’t have one of those reflex cameras. He could’ve probably touched the cheetah’s nose with his lens.

10. Baby Zebra’s First Steps

You might say I’m a little biased on this one (as it is my own footage), but I still think it’s a real beauty. 😉

Experience baby zebra’s first steps into life. What more can I say: totally adorable!
