In this episode of Wildest Kruger Stories we're joined by Guts Swanepoel, co-founder of Pangolin Photo Safaris and he's bringing us some great stories from his extensive time in the bush, building Pangolin to what it is today.

In this episode of Wildest Kruger Stories we answer the big question: Can a smartphone take as good photos as a professional camera? And go through the gear you would want to bring on safari to get the most out of the photographic opportunities!

This week we're talking about an important but complex topic; rescue centres, animal interaction and canned hunting, and how they are connected.

We want to reiterate that there IS good places out there, that do things right and ethical, however we find it very important to shine light on the fact that others hide behind the name of conservation, purely to profit from innocent animals. To spread information about that, is our focus in todays episode.

Recommended film to watch for more information on this topic: Blood Lions
