Ep37: Ratna's Ripple Effect - How One Woman Is Changing Wildlife Tourism in India

G'day legends!I'm sitting on the banks of the Bunja River in Kanha National Park's buffer zone with my good mate Ratna, her partner Wasim, and our honey badgers Caren and Amie. Two days ago, Ratna and Wasim surprised me with access to a dhole (Asian wild dog) den just 1.5 kilometres from the lodge, and I got to sit within 15 metres of four-month-old pups and adults. It's honestly a life highlight! In this episode, we look at how Ratna has been instrumental in training the first batch of women guides in Central India since 2011, and what it really takes to lead on safari as a woman in a male-dominated field. Karen and Amy are asking all the good questions too, from love stories to future plans in lesser-known sanctuaries.Come join me! 🦁 Instagram | 🐘 Facebook | 🦡 Safari ToursIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a comment and share it with your fellow safari lovers!This is a Podvan Media production.
