This summer, I joined a wild life guide training & sustainability program at @campfireacademy in the #balule reserve at #krugernationalpark. •
When I decided to join, I haven’t seen any pictures of the camp and didn’t know much about the program. •
All I wanted was to discover the bush and have a better understanding of the wild and conservation. •
I had no idea @campfireacademy would actually change me. •
I was already deeply involved and committed to ecology. I made a lot of research for my documentary, and even launched some campaigns to fight against fossil fuel energies but being in the bush triggered something deeper and gave me a better understanding of nature and life itself.

I witnessed passionate students and committed teachers learning and teaching about tracking, conservation, animal biology, cosmology... we talked about love, compassion, sustainability & saw nature regulating, cleaning, creating and providing in the most cooperative way.

We learned to recycle food oil and turn it into bio diesel. We witnessed 15 lions in our “backyard” at the camp at 2am having a feast. We almost got charged by an elephant and walked into the bush tracking and smelling lion’s pee. We had to stay in our huts at night and avoid the bathroom just in case the leopards or the lions were wondering around. We met dozens of bird species I didn’t even know could make such sounds. We smelled the bush at 5 am and embraced the cold mist that just travelled around the oldest mountains on earth... we stayed in the dark bush during the eclipse and heard the whisper of old stories passed around fires thousand years ago, or maybe it was just the leopards walking around. The memories are endless. I will probably forget some very soon.

Today it’s been 2 months and I still have no words.
All I can say is: to feel you must experience. Once you feel, you understand. You may not be able to describe it or even share what you experienced but your heart will open in ways you can’t expect. And all of the sudden the way you approach life is deeply changed.
And that’s all we need. Change. Because there is one thing nature taught me: to live is to change. Constantly. ?
