What it's like to roam the Kalahari with a lioness

Sirga and I have been roaming the Kalahari since she was a small cub. Now, ten years later, she's a grown lioness. In this episode, I'll take you with me on a walk. I have been lucky enough to witness how she hunts and observe her behavior close up.

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.
