The Safari Guide

Frank

Let's go on safari together in Africa: not just to see animals, but to understand them. I'll show you how tracks in the sand, the sounds of the savanna, and the behavior of the animals suddenly make sense – then the safari truly begins.

#0 - Trailer - The Safari Guide
There are safaris where, in the end, only your camera’s memory card is full. And there are safaris that stay with you. In this podcast, I take you into the fascinating world of Africa’s animals and plants. Those goosebump moments begin when you start to understand. When sounds, tracks, and behavior suddenly make sense — and what once seemed simply “beautiful” becomes truly “exciting.” I am Frank - The Safari Guide. My life moves between the vastness of Africa and everyday life in Vienna. Out there in the bush. Back here in the city. And if you’re curious, if you enjoy learning, and if you’re ready to embrace those small moments of wonder — then you’re in exactly the right place. …………………………………………………………………… Become my patron on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheSafariGuide/membership Thank you! ……………………………………………………………………
