from Animals & Us - Voices of a New Paradigm · host Avantika Mathur & Dr. Barbara Shor

Curious about how our trip to Botswana went and what we did there? Tune into this episode to find out what our experience was like, what all we did, and how the experience was deeply moving for both of us. We experienced the true wilderness of Botswana and spent time in the "bushes" observing many incredible animals in their true glory, in their own habitats - lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, hyenas, wild dogs, warthogs, wildebeests, and so many more animals and birds. Join us in this episode to hear from our amazing guide, Isaac Tapa, who shared his love, passion and knowledge with us while we were there. Born and raised in eastern Botswana, Isaac knew early on in his life that he cared deeply for nature and animals. He joined the tourism industry, which is Botswana's second largest industry, so that he could pursue his love for the natural world by becoming a guide. For him, it's not a job - it's a way of life, a passion that keeps growing day by day. No two days in the bush are ever the same for him, and being the bush never disappoints. Above all else, he appreciates the absolute tranquility that comes with being out in the wild, surrounded by the beauty of nature and animals. -- Isaac is a guide with Okavango Expeditions, a company that aims to share a real and untouched Africa with travelers from around the world. They specialize in lodge and mobile safaris and value doing all their work in sustainable, eco-friendly ways. More information about Isaac can be found on his Facebook page.
