Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

72 - Karolina's India Safari Review
Q: What was the tiger viewing experience like compared to Bandhavgarh?
Bandhavgarh had higher tiger density and more aggressive focus on tiger sightings, while Kanha offered calmer drives, stunning forest scenery, and a broader look at other wildlife beyond tigers; guides adapted to manage crowds and optimize viewing.
72 - Karolina's India Safari Review
Q: How big is Kanha National Park and how did you navigate zones and gates?
Kanha is divided into zones and uses a single entry gate per day, with permits for different zones booked well in advance; staying with a ground handler helped secure some of the best zones while balancing drive times and access.
69 - Bush Chats with Pusetso Whittle
Q: What's the biggest challenge you face hosting safaris as a photographer and guide?
The guest- and people-management aspect dominates the job, including handling expectations, balancing energy with guests, and maintaining professionalism under pressure. She shares that staying positive, preparing a thorough first-day presentation, and relying on mentors helps set a constructive tone for the trip.
69 - Bush Chats with Pusetso Whittle
Q: How did you become a wildlife photographer and what sparked your interest?
She describes growing up near Botswana's borders and Zimbabwe, attending an international school, and finding inspiration in Pangolin's Janine and Sabine, whose work showed that teaching could be a viable path in wildlife photography. This representation helped her see a possible career, leading her to pursue photography after university and an internship that evolved into a role with Pangolin.
58 - Your Questions Answered Part 2
Q: As a beginner, which camera and lens can I start with for wildlife photography?
They recommend starting with a bridge camera for beginners or investing in a mirrorless or DSLR system if one plans to grow in photography.
