Everything that happened on a crazy three-day trip to Botswana.
Backstory: I spent three nights in the Duba Plains in the Okavango Delta region in Northern Botswana with Dereck and Beverley Joubert. The two have been making films about lions for 30 years, and their newest one, Game of Lions, premieres on Nat Geo Wild on Dec. 1. It was my first trip to Africa and it basically changed my life.
Here's everything I learned:
There is no feeling quite like the feeling you get when you see an elephant from a plane.
To look down and see elephants for the first time is a feeling I'll never forget. It's like: WHAT?!?!?
Also the view of the Okavango Delta from above is INCREDIBLE.
Self-explanatory.
Botswana, specifically the Duba Plains, has the largest lions in the world.
They are 15% bigger than any of the other lions in the world.
