Breaking 4 billion views in 2023 was a massive milestone. We learned a lot from that and carried it over to 2024, where we did it again. This time with 4.4 + billion!
Do you think we will make 5 billion next year?

Live Safaris
You all loved the livestream that we did, and so did we!
Thanks to our partners we got to film in some special places! Like the gem that is Manyeleti Game Reserve, with Tintswalo Safari.
We even managed to go live from the mighty Zambezi River, where we saw elephants, crocodiles, and hippos! All made possible by our partners at Classic Zambia!
Of course, we can’t forget the little elephant who thought gave it their best shot at mock charging a vehicle, live for the whole world to see.
Thanks to Matthew Crookes for being there to film for us!

Special Thanks To:

One of our favorites from this year was of this squirrel showing a leopard who is boss!
Check out the video:
andBeyond:
With some of the most incredible safari locations in the world under their umbrella, we were very excited to team up with andBeyond during the latter half of the year.
And the sightings that we’ve shared have already been unreal!
Just check this video of one of the most tactical lion ambushes that we’ve ever seen:
Wild Eye:
They offer some of the most exclusive photographic wildlife tours that you can experience anywhere, around the world! Their guides are experts in the field, and capture some of the most exciting wildlife interactions.
Take this video of a hyena chasing a wildebeest off a cliff as an example:
A little closer to home for us; we wanted to give a massive thanks to the entire team at Kruger Pride Safaris for all their contributions.
If you’re ever in the Crocodile Bridge area, we definitely recommend booking a safari with them!
Kerry, the founder of KPS, shared the second-highest amount of tings out of all the guides on our app. And we can confidently approve of her sightings!

Our Top Tingers:
Aiden Blake was our top guide this year, for the second year in a row! Do you think he can make it three?
This year Aiden shared 642 tings!
Our top tinger overall was Truida — username: Tierboskat_Bingo on our app. Trudia uploaded 1,302 tings! A new record on our app, which we know won’t be easy to beat next year! However, the challenge has bee accepted!
