Virtual Tour Guide

play_circle Bush Therapy

Bush Therapy is your therapeutic outlet when you cannot make it to the bush.

Mostly recorded in Kruger National Park, the channel has grown into a collection of nature videos, photography and video how-tos, gear reviews of the equipment we actually use, and trip reports from the roads we drive.

The gear

What we film with

All the gear we use is our own. We have not been sponsored, and as a result every review is unbiased - although sponsorships are welcome, and would of course lead to a completely biased and prejudiced view of the product.

Most of it lives in a vehicle, gets covered in dust and is expected to survive a corrugated gravel road at 40km/h. If it cannot, we say so on the channel.
