#566 - An Environmental Focus on Madikwe

Grant Marcus has been living and guiding in Madikwe Game Reserve since 2011, so when it comes to knowing this place inside out, he's your guy. In this conversation, Danny and Grant get into what makes Madikwe tick — the dramatic landscape that shifts from Kalahari red sand to Bushveld in a single drive, the extreme seasons that'll either freeze you or cook you, and the wildlife that goes way beyond the obvious. They talk rhinos with full horns, brown hyena den sites, world-class birding, a wild dog chase that didn't quite pay off, and the story of how over 10,000 animals were moved to essentially build this reserve from nothing. If you've never heard of Madikwe or you're still on the fence about going, this one's worth your time. Visit the Wild Eye website:
