Safari Stories – Détails, épisodes et analyse

We're in the Central Kalahari this week, at the fabulous Dinaka Camp, where we chat about a truly insane morning spent with a pride of lions.

After a bit of a summer hiatus we conclude the Antarctic part of this season with an episode about the crown jewels of the Southern Ocean, South Georgia, a marine wildlife mecca.

Are lions nocturnal? Not entirely, and definitely not at Tubu Tree. Join us in the Okavango Delta as we recount some epic sightings of lions hunting during the day. What was on the menu? Find out here...

We’re back! After a healthy hiatus, we come back to you while on safari in Botswana's Okavango Delta, reflecting on a few incredible days at the wonderful Tubu Tree Camp. We talk about our gifted guide, Kambango Delta, discuss some Tubu leopard family history, and how we’ve seen more leopard history in the making!

Jomi chats with Cannon Winkler about his Walks of Life art, a series of paintings inspired by his time in the African bush. Cannon uses direct moulds and castes of tracks which he paints onto canvas to create his paintings. A portion of proceeds from selling the paintings are donated to African Parks. We talk about what Cannon enjoyed about his time in the bush, what distinguishes his paintings and why we both find African Parks such a worthy cause to donate to.

On our last day in the Okavango Delta, we have a series of sightings at Mombo Camp that absolutely blow our minds and leave Hadley speechless and Jomi in tears. A young male leopard puts on a spectacular show for us, attempting to snuff warthogs out of burrows on the ground before climbing into a tree above the burrow to try for an aerial approach. The next day, we spend the whole afternoon with the same leopard. The sighting begins with the leopard having has his first romantic encounter with a female and ends with what Jomi and Hadley say is an image they will never forget for the rest of their lives. This is truly a must-listen episode, action-packed from beginning to end.

We are back in the Delta and talking about our time at Tubu Tree Camp, a camp set in the trees on an island in the Okavango Delta. While looking for leopard (the area is renowned for its leopard viewing), we stumbled upon so many other animals and ended up spending hours alone with a pack of hunting and playing wild dogs. Listen as we share some of our favorite sightings, why this camp is so special, and which animal decided to den her cubs in the lodge’s main area bathroom.

This week, we’re back at Vumbura Plains talking about the second game drive we went on in this slice of safari paradise. Seeing various nocturnal animals by day, another elephant carcass, tracking lions through channels from one island to the next, and an incredible sighting of a predator stalking some very large prey to cap off the drive: this is another action-packed episode from the heart of the Okavango.

“From the moment we landed, we were in safari heaven.” This week, we are at Vumbura Plains on the northern side of the Okavango Delta. The area has to be one of the most productive safari areas we have ever been to. Listen in as we share the story of our incredible drive from the airstrip to the lodge which included elephants, buffalo, and two cheeky warthogs chasing a pack of wild dogs away from a waterhole! The madness continues as we go off on our first game drive that was action packed from the moment we left the lodge. Listen in to hear what we saw!

A lion pride feeding on an elephant carcass, herds of elephants swimming across the Linyanti channel, and so much more. This week, Jomi and Hadley come to you from Botswana’s Linyanti Wildlife Reserve. Find out how it’s different from the Okavango Delta, why it’s so special, and what amazing surprise Jomi and Hadley got while out on game drive! Bonus: find out which special bird Jomi finally managed to see after years of looking for it!
