16 Min. Four days on foot in the Kruger National Park. With sleep-outs and night watches.

8 Min. Suddenly I realized: I am in the habitat of lions, elephants, and buffalos. For three days. On foot. That was one of the most mesmerizing experiences I’ve had ever been on. Here are my two most important learnings.
