High highs... & near disasters

‍

It's all in a day's adventure when you're chasing the best of the bucket list!

‍

Darryl and Paul are two treasured BHS safari guests, and by this point we've lost track of who drives the adventure - us or them? Either way, the stories that have accumulated over these epic trips we've shared are worth putting on a platform like this. 

‍

There have been high highs - moments that are impossible to replicate - and there have been automotive breakdowns that have lasted hours, batteries that burst into flames, and somewhere in between we've found the perfect balance of adventure and luxury for Darryl. It exists in Botswana, she says.

This is an entertaining listen for folks out there who are chasing bucket lists and plotting to see some of the most iconic species and places on the planet. Brett and Jo, both of whom have guided Darryl and Paul through the bush, are reminded of some of their most outstanding moments, and almost-disasters. From the Uganda gorilla expedition and cross-country safari in an overland truck, to leopards walking through camp in Botswana, getting lost in Savuti, epic honey badger battles, the search for the black leopard in Kenya, to the latest expedition to seek jaguars in Brazil’s Pantanal.

‍

Joining us from the United States, Paul and Darryl relive some of the best moments, and if you can keep up with the excited chatter, you’ll hear about the faux pas too. The burden of committing to the gear for wildlife photography, setting expectations when it comes to hiking for gorillas (prepare to sweat!), and talking about dream destinations like Sri Lanka and Southern Utah. 

‍

Now that we’re on the other side of the Pantanal trip we talk about in this episode, we can say we’re absolutely going back. If you’re interested in making it happen, reach out to know about the itinerary we’ve curated from our experience.

This is a real virtual campfire chat between friends, so enjoy the entertaining nature of it and hearing from both guides and guests. Thank you Darryl and Paul for joining us! We can’t wait for the next journey together.
