“My best memory from the series was seeing some of the Xudum pride using water as cover to hunt at night - something I had never even heard of before. And to see it with the thermal camera was nuts. I hope a big take away from the series is that the majesty of nature is still found in special places like the Okavango but we have to work to keep these wild places wild. It’s something we cannot afford to lose.”
