The Safari Guide

Nile crocodiles are among Africa’s most fascinating animals: ancient, perfectly adapted, and often invisible at waterholes—until they strike with lightning speed. In this episode, I explain how Nile crocodiles hunt (including the infamous death roll), why their teeth “keep growing back” throughout their lives, how they see underwater, and why they must swallow their prey above the surface. We also talk about reproduction, nest temperatures, and their remarkable parental care—and explore the role Nile crocodiles play in the ecological balance of river ecosystems. ..............................................................................

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. ..............................................................................
