Learning an ancient skill

Tracking wild animals in the bush is a skillset that I have been training intensively for the last 10 years. I never thought that interpretating tracks, marks and little hints nature leaves for us can be so exciting. In my daily life tracking plays a vital task. Let me introduce you to the art of tracking in the bush - you'll be as surprised as I was when I first started to learn about it.

Talking Bushfires with Dr. Thoralf Meyer

How fires occur, how they work and when to worry

We recently had some of the worst bushfires in my time here in Botswana. Millions of hectars of Kalahari burnt down in the last months. Although we were working relentlessly to keep the fires out of our reserve, one fateful night it jumped our firebreaks and steamrolled through our place.

In this episode I have invited Dr. Thoralf Meyer. He's not only a long time friend of mine but also a professor at the University of Texas. Nobody knows more about bush fires in Botswana than he does, so naturally, I had a ton of questions for him.
