My Wild Secret.

Hey Buddies!

With the world currently in a dark times and all of us being held in place for unusually long periods of time. I have decided it is time to let my readers in on something I hold near and near to my heart.
WildEarth!
WildEarth (Previously known as SafariLIVE)is something I’ve been rather reluctant to talk about to very many people. I found WildEarth in a rather hard time, it helped me through that time and many others over the years. Seeing as the world is going through a unforeseen unpredictable hard time, I thought it was a good time to make my readers and followers aware of this little known gem in hope they can find some solace like I have many times before.
What is wild earth? 
WildEarth is a South African based company that was Founded in 2006 by Emily and Graham Wallington. The Wallington’s had a vision to produce a product that massively focused on bringing a live, honest, interactive and immersive, experience of the natural world - as beautiful and brutal as it can be - into the homes of many.
With the plight of conservation and education in the forefront, WildEarth attempt to create characters out of the wild animals frequently viewed on the reserves they traverse. By doing this, the presenters are able to create a connection with the viewers to these animals. By doing this, the viewers are able to empathize with the animals through that connection. Therefore, become passionate about the preservation of the multitudes of animals that WildEarth see, as well as other animals all around the globe.

Do not be mistaken though. The animals presented on WildEarth are not domesticated they are 100% wild animals. WildEarth - as well as countless guides and companies - have spent thousands of hours habituating these animals to the presence of the vehicles. The animals that are viewed frequently learn that these vehicles are not there to cause them harm in anyway. Therefore, they do not care of their presence. Take a leopard’s impala or warthog meal, you might have a whole other issue on your hands.
WildEarth has spent extensive time filming in the picture-esque Maasai Mara, produced under-water content through DiveLIVE, as well as many other places. WildEarth have recently created an amazing partnership with &Beyond, An amazing company that has a large respected place in the safari industry. Through this partnership with &Beyond, WildEarth have recently been privileged to start filming out of &Beyond Ngala, situated along the serene Timbavati river, home of two white lions, two of only three *wild* white lions in the world.

The traditional home of WildEarth is Djuma Private Game Reserve. Djuma is part of the Sabi Sands. The Sabi Sands holds privilege of some of the most intimate leopard sightings in the world. WildEarth have been overjoyed to spend hours upon hours in leopards sightings, given them the privilege of following the animals from birth through all of life’s highs and lows to death, live in real time.(and not just the leopards). WildEarth have called Djuma home for the best part of 10 years.
 The Sabi Sands, along with the Timbavati and other reserves make up the western fringes of the Greater Kruger National Park. Animals can roam from Kruger National Park to it’s connected reserves with great ease do to the recent drop of many fences.
The team behind WildEarth are like a big cozy family. From the bosses, to the managers, to the directors, editors, cooks, cleaners, presenters and camera operators, you can tell through the live lens that they are a humble cohesive group that care greatly about each other, the animals and the content they produce.

One of my favorite things about WildEarth (besides the leopards) is the focus they put on education of children. As children are the future of our planet, kids questions take preference. On top of that, schools/teachers are able to book slots so their class can take an interactive educational live drive dedicated to the young ones booked in that slot. The privacy of the children and schools is also of importance with the children and their teacher having a place where they can talk directly to the crew to ask any questions their hearts desire.
WildEarth has been and still is such a large a part of my life for many years. I have gained some great friends, obtained an immense amount of knowledge. I have laughed, cried, been angry, surprised, annoyed, thrilled. The adrenaline that course through my veins at times is intoxicating. Not to mention my already extreme fondness for animals has grown to an unmeasurable amount.
