Before starting my field guide course with EcoTraining, I expected to encounter wildlife, experience adventure, and encounter some discomfort. I got all that—but also much more. From deep connections with people to unexpected joys (hello, birds!) and the reality of serious study, here are four things I wish I’d known before heading into the wild.
When people imagine going on safari, they often envision the golden glow of the African sun, vast open plains, and the thrill of seeing lions, elephants, and giraffes in their natural habitat. But many don’t realize that winter is when the bush comes alive. Here’s why winter is the best-kept secret of the safari world.
The elephant bull looks at us. Neither surprised nor scared. But still, he watches every subtle move while we are sitting on the edge of the river bed in the forest, surrounded by ana trees, nyala berries and fever trees. The colours, the sounds and the presence of three gigantic elephants make this feel like a scene from a movie.
