Conservation in South Africa - Wouter Verpoest



"Almost two months ago I started my 'Big Adventure', going to the bush of Botswana without really knowing what it would be like. After 30 hours of travelling and a night in a lodge, myself and my friend, Jeroen De Muynck, arrived at camp, our new home for the next two months!

When I look back now, its been amazing!

We've experienced living in the bush and we have explored life in South Africa and Botswana. I have learnt lots about the wildlife here and also about the local culture. Its amazing to watch elephants 30 metres away from a hide that we had a hand in making. We've also been very lucky with the leopards! You cant describe the feeling that goes through your body when you are eye to eye with one of Africa's great predators only metres away from you.

I loved my stay here and will miss it when I get back home to Belgium. Legodimo makes you feel at home and if you come here from overseas or not, you'll never be alone!"
