“I love the freedom that working in the Okavango provides, just endless days spent learning the behaviour of some of the world’s most spectacular animals – like Xudum, she always finds a way to survive no matter the circumstances. My favourite moment from Series 1 was meeting and spending time with Xudum’s cubs, it was a real privilege to find cubs literally a day after they were born.”
