Question: | Answer: |
---|---|
Hometown | Bristol/ a small Greek island |
Favourite Delta animal | Cheetah (followed closely by honey badgers) |
Favourite cat species | CHEETAH!! |
Favourite cat | Pobe, obviously. |
Day or night filming? | When filming cheetahs, the day. When filming lions, definitely the night. |
Best bush meal | The 鈥楤reakfast of Champions鈥: oats, dried cranberries, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, chopped pear or banana, a dollop of fig preserve and lashings of almond butter. All accompanied by a fresh pot of coffee. |
Best thing about the Delta | The possibilities are endless. |
“One of my favourite things about filming big cats is how different each day can be. When you leave camp, you have zero idea what’s going to happen. You are in charge of your fate when you chose to head North or South, but the rest is up to the cats. Each day in the Okavango Delta is another heart pumping spin on the roulette wheel of endless possibilities.”
