What’s it like to fall asleep to the sound of lions roaring—every single night?

In this episode, I’m back home in Dubbo, fresh from hosting three back-to-back safaris in Tanzania, India and Sri Lanka. But today, I’m taking you deep into the Southern Serengeti, where I kicked off the 2025 safari season with a dream crew of first-time Honey Badgers.

From a brand new mobile camp nestled in lion territory to witnessing a cheetah hunt unfold in real time, this safari had it all—including a just-born baby elephant and the most wildebeest I’ve ever seen in Hidden Valley.

You’ll also hear all about:

• The launch of my first solo photo exhibition, A Wild Life

• My favourite off-road moments in Ndutu and the Central Serengeti

• The incredible wildlife sightings—including black rhino, caracal and flamingos at sunrise

• Why I’m already counting down to Feb 2026 (and how you can join me!)

This one’s a love letter to the place I’ll never stop returning to.

What happens when your two podcast worlds collide in a leopard-print shirt and a Camilla dress? You get this absolute belter of an episode.

In this one, I’m back on the Central Coast catching up with Rabbit, my podcast mentor, editor and all-round legend, and giving him a sneak peek at some of the photos from my very first solo exhibition. From the hilarious backstory behind how we met to deep chats about art, animals and the stories behind the shots, this one’s packed.

We’ll take you behind the lens on some of the wildest photos in the exhibition, including:

• A black leopard emerging from the dark like a ghost
• A giraffe giving birth in real time
• My once-in-a-lifetime bongo sighting (yes, I cried)
• A tiger charging through water in India’s Ranthambore National Park
• And the real stories behind each image, from the terrifying to the hilarious

What’s it like to build a life protecting lions in one of the wildest corners of Africa? It is a journey of courage, heartbreak and hope, and it all started with a bike ride across East Africa.

In this episode, I am coming to you from Mama Simba’s house on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, where I sit down with the incredible Dr Ingela Jansson, better known as Mama Simba. Ingela is the founder of KopeLion, a groundbreaking project helping people and lions coexist in this iconic landscape.

We dig into Ingela’s remarkable story, from growing up on a Swedish farm to cycling across Africa and landing a job with the legendary Serengeti Lion Project. She shares the pivotal moment that inspired her to create KopeLion, the heartbreaking challenges faced along the way, and the moments of pure joy that keep her going.

Plus, we talk about the growing pressures of tourism on fragile ecosystems, the importance of ethical safaris, and how we can all do our bit to protect this magical place.
