We hope you enjoyed watching this full episode of Savage Kingdom!
You will all bow to me
this is amazing
National Geographic much appreciated, thank you!
It was about time to upload a full free episode! I can't watch any full episode from Savage Kingdom. Why? Cuz it's National Geographic isn't available outside the US.
Pls keep upload even more documentarys
The Narrator is making this whole episode into a movie
Sounds like to voice of Scar from the lion king
Its charles dance the narrator. Check the scene on Dracula untold. When luke evans ask for powers to master vampire and drink blood
is it tywin lannister lol
because it is Charles Dance aka lord Tywin of house Lannister
@Mr steal your wife lmao idiot
For every Savage Kingdom..there is a Savage Narrator
I love this narrator
I was going to make a very similar comment about how savage he is! He makes African savanna sound like Mordor!
cold i love it
Award winning Charles Dance, a British actor.
I found it a bit too cheesy though xD
"The advantage of high position in paradise, There's always a seat at the high table" - Well said!!!
Some people are just born for certain jobS. This narrator has the perfect words, perfect tone, perfect voice and absolutel perfect timing and delivery for certain moments in this documentary. Bravo
when you are wrong you are wrong !!! the narrator is the only failiure in this docu
@@olavwilhelm6843, then just say you are wrong, because clearly you are.
the narration is an overly dramatic cringefest, the narration is the only reason I stopped watching 5 mins in. Made it unwatchable
@@MichaelAnderson-jo8iq I think your right, he did a fine job. Hey he's no James Earl Jones, who does a fantastic job as well no doubt. The other commenter is entitled in her opnion, but honestly it's not anything she mentioned. I've heard some bad ones, but being that this is a National Geographic Documentary, they would not hire a "Crindge-Fest" narrator as she put it, and stopping after 5 minutes is only her loss. Same for the other commenter 🤷♂️
The Leopard.

5:35. Wild animals just eating their dinner. Narrator: "You'll all now bow to me".

Im glad yet sad I saw this post before it happened.
I had no idea lion cubs were potential prey. How sad, especially seeing lions are endangered.
@@DarkDreamsAndMoonlitNights every infant is a potential prey even if its a apex predator

The narrator is Charles Dance who played Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones. The Lannister House's sigil is a Lion, so it does make sense doesn't it. He's a Lion indeed.
I absolutely adore Felines, they’re so graceful and beautiful yet immense and menacing. Leopards are right up there on my list of felines and I absolutely adore the way they look and carry themselves. Beautiful creatures. The lions are gorgeous too.
The mother not only lost a warrior but a son. 😭😭😭
This documentary actually showed the cub being eaten. Many just edit right over it and explain what happened
😢😢😢
So sad hated to see that poor baby cub dead 😞😞

I never seen a leopard suffocate it's prey by mouth that's crazy strength And the narrator is perfect I'll listen to him over anybody
Mma Motse means Queen of the village and it also means great mother of the family. Its Setswana, our main language in Botswana. Thank you for making a fim in my country. Much appreciated.
Thank you for this ,had no idea
Oh.... I see. Thought that narator was wrong because they are hayena's.😁😁
Also meaning the same in South African languages Sepedi and Sesotho which are closely similar to Setswana
It saddens me that a lot of ppl in the comments don't realize the narrator is Charles Dance, who plays Tywin Lannister on Game of thrones, but I'm also happy because even those who don't know the voice, still say he's amazing. Charles Dance FTW :)
“ blue eyes is not here for food” loved that

Charles dance is one of the top over all the narrator's in the animals kingdom I know. Indeed he knows his story.
Except it’s Jeremy Irons 😂
@@pick6ace694 This is Charles Dance's voice and he is credited as the narrator.
Phenomenal narrator for an even more phenomenal episode!! “ Until then, they will trust no one.” Great advice for life .
I got emotional when the leopard fed on the cub😩. Kudos to the team, it's a very challenging and risky job. Perfect video quality and best narrator ever❤️
"young assassin eager to explore her forest world" 😂
Eh, lions kill off leopard, cheetah, and even their own cubs all the time.
That broke my heart as well. But that is nature, that is the Savage Kingdom as they say.
And yet the comments are about how people hate Hyenas and think they’re evil 😂

You mean Jeremy Irons? 👀😭
Hear.
The narrator is the great actor Jeremy Irons. not a POS television figure.
“Only a fool could believe such nonsense” hit me differently 😫😂
The Narrator is even more wild
Lol. 😂
Hahaha
It’s Tywin Lannister
👏👏👏
Lmao he grew up in the dirt dirty WILD
How the narrator inserts himself in the medulla oblongata of the animals is truly remarkable. Good job😂🤗
Too much poetry AFAIK

"Power is not a birth right" I like that introduction. "You will all now bow to me" the narration is amazing
Jeremy Irons is GOAT. Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones & Jeremy Irons are legends at compelling narrations and literally make whatever story they're telling sound so captivating and enrapturing! Excellent documentary and cinematography.
This isn't Jeremy Irons
You forgot Sir David Attenborough.
Charles Dance, but you are right that Irons is great.
A savage Kingdom needs a Savage story. A savage story needs a savage narrator!
Indeed.
The Narrator sounds like Tywin Lannister after retired as hand of the king
He's the narrator. Charles Dance
Just saw your comment after mine "The narrator sounds like Lord Tywin Lannister."
That’s because it is
Yh i realized now he is the exact person when he said "throne " only he could have said that that nice
🍺 from my side ... cheers 🤙
“King have nothing fear until now,” best ever narrator with a powerful voice. 👏👌✊
Hide your riches and eat fast, for thieves are every, an innocent spirit in a ruthless world...rain cannot cleanse the wicked world but can sure reset the landscape.I love this narrator voice and calm.
this is the BEST FILMED documentary i think i've ever seen in my 20 years of watching documentarys and about 47 years of watching National Geographic!!!! Well done!!! Nararation and all!!!!
So epic! Music and all!!

That´s sound like a Game of Thrones Series played by animals 😂 the camera quality is flawless, great job!
Well, Charles Dance who played Tywin Lannister, narrates this documentary. Ironically lions are again under pressure by canines 😅
I don't understand why all these docs gotta sounds like an action movie. I miss the normal stuff. A normal voice. And no dramatic music. I watch this to chill. Not have a heart attack

His voice is awesome, I had to look it up bc it was so familiar..Not sure if you ever have seen game of thrones but Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance)✌️
Give this narrator a raise!
Charles dance has a Grammy an played Tywin Lannister in game of thrones. They couldn’t have chose anyone better an I’m sure payed him really well lol
@@taliyahlay8760 He earned every dollar. The manliest voice in the game!
One of the best narratives, i've ever heard!!!
Blue eye leopard is majestic !! Beautifully created by the almighty wow ! God surely does reveal himself through nature 🙏🏾
Brilliant , excellent storytelling. Amazing how you manage to follow around these beasts and take great shots without disrupting their lifestyles. I have renewed respect for the wild dog. Chews off the backside of a warthog whilst it's still alive. No better savagery
@inno a lot of animals in a pack or pride eat their prey alive! Lions will eat their prey alive as well while one lion is suffocating the prey could take as long as 30 mins where the wolf dogs only take a few seconds to kill their prey from the constant attacks and their preys adrenaline will be pumping so they won’t feel as much pain as being suffocated by a lion and eaten by other lions at the same time !!

Hello
Hi there, how’re you
Congrats To Mr Dance For His Job Narrating This Amazing Documentary !
Whenever I see hyenas dominating lions, I miss 'Ntwadumela' - He who greets wity fire.
I sometimes wonder what happened to the thousands of wildlife documentaries that I have watched over my lifetime. I have found some that have been uploaded to KZhead but not a drop in the bucket compared to all that have been made. Heck take the 90’s alone when the Discovery Channel was exactly that discovery. Ocean and land wildlife documentaries just from the 90’s alone would be a treat to see them all again. Ok got that out of the way……Savage Kingdom, great series.
Charles Dance is the narrators name. His pronunciation of African names makes him sound so refined.
Isn't this the most beautiful documentary, all the right correct shots in slow motion arranged.
I love this documentary! It’s so perfect! I love how the mothers protect their young! BRAVO ♥️
The narrator is ...savagely engaging. He practically draws you into the story with such savage sagacity ....
An unique, bright narration, strengthened by a profound, strong voice, transformed this episode into an absolutely astonishing film! Thank you!
You can’t hear the symphony of nature and he’s rambling on without actually informing people about the animals that the camera crew captured in stunning detail
A lion doesn't concern himself with the opinion of the sheeps - Tywin Lannister.
Incorrect English dude. Its Opinion of sheeps not the sheeps. Learn how to apply English. Why would you say the opinion then say the sheeps. U dont need to say "the" twice goofy
@@TeW33zy why u care bout dat?
@@TeW33zy "A Lion Doesn't Concern Himself With The Opinions Of The Sheep" .. It's the quote exactly as it is, but thanks for the free lesson.
@@TeW33zy नमस्ते
I love Savage Kingdom... Watch A LOT. But I wish there were episodes with a greater focus on Blue Eyes the leopard. He is magnificent. A noble, ruthless king.
Great documentary and narration. So relieved the leopard cub hid well and that the cheetah family had their fill before the tyrants took away their meal, seeing the two cubs playing while the third tucked in with mom was wholesome. Hope they all made it out in part two.
Fantastic documentary!! Five stars, from narration to the cinematography!! Highly recommend! (I've watched 100's if not 1000's of nature docs, so I know a good one when I see one!!)
❤❤❤ please support my channel ❤❤
@@marblad16 just took a look at your videos. My honest critique is that your videos are very short. I would extend the length of the videos and be more informative of the birds. As a viewer I am interested in being educated about these beautiful creatures. Best of luck friend! I'll keep an eye on your channel!!
@Marta if you like birds look up the secretary bird! They’re really cool look like a dinasaur bird lol and kill snakes left and right by stomping in their heads lol
Generally we are impressed by the photography in Stunt movies from Hollywood. But I can say these wild life photographers and cameramen are far far ahead of them. Highly skilled and Daredavils

Yep watched all these three times already never get enough. Love the Lions and the General Hyena vicious and greedy....lol the narrator is absolutely thrilling love it. Better than any movie or program out there.
Documentary are fun to watch and they will help you learn more about nature and wild animals the way they lived and survive.
Exactly
No study school needed!
I agree until human beings interfere with wildlife
It's been a while since I've heard an excellent narration outside of Sir David Attenborough! Beautiful!
The narrator is amazing much respect to this documentary
The Narrator made this worth while, could watch these all day ,everyday
I love this show, the narrator adds more drama with his amazing narrative skills👍
What a wonderful movie of the wild! I just love the wilderness and to experience this so closely but yet so far. Me myself was also in the game industry for 17 yrs and you never get tired of the creation of God. To be one with them but also have the knowledge that you are on there turf are just great. The whole movie was again an eye opener of what we as humans can learn from them.
Hi there, how’re you
I love the way Charles Dance narrates
Pula's story is the best!
Thank you showing what I always argue; Lions dont win all the time against hyenas. Only Hyenas can overthrow a Lions kingdom I love this!!
I LOVE ALL the episodes of Savage Kingdom, but this is the best one yet and ever made!!!!! Make some more!!!!
“Rain cannot cleanse a wicked world.”
Charles Dance is the best narrator for these animal channels. Simply my fav . Lion is indeed the king . With a chance of 20 percent survival rate growing up indeed impressive. Six cubs wow it is amazing. Hope they survive
When there's a wild animal documentary, of course there's also have to be a wild and savage narrator, Charles Dance is the best!
it will forever be weird watching a nature documentary without Sir David Attenborough Narrating it
This channel has changed a lot. Watched in the 90’s. Feels very staged in its production. Narration seems very exaggerated and theatrical. Suggestive, almost. Fascination and amazement Used to derive from learning about the animal-life struggle. The ‘300’ style orchestral stylisation and seductive tonal qualities of commentary seem to focus more on the aesthetic and mellow dramatic. Maybe its just me lol
Where are the other episodes? The narration is absolutely surreal. Please post others too. Thank you NG.
WOW !!! Fascinating scenario, naration, voice, music, camera....
All elements are pulled together by a voice that penetrates! National Geographic has produced a remarkable insight into the wild Kingdom. Thank you.
Tywin Lannister is doing a fantastic job narrating! =)
Why is it that every time there's lions involved I always root for the lion
Because you are brainwashed by Disney
@@Jordan-vr7ip Or it’s because Lions are just majestic.
