Ep39: Sri Lankan Leopards - Why these cats are different
G'day legends!
I'm sitting on the edge of the Indian Ocean in Kumana National Park, southeast Sri Lanka, with my friend and guide Mevan Piyasena. Mevan's been obsessed with leopards for over 40 years, and after the sightings we've just had (10 leopards in Yala, another six or seven here in Kumana), I can see why.
We'll introduce you to a mother leopard called Sankani and her two bold cubs, a notorious tusker named Gamunu who's perfected the art of ambushing cars for food, and a nasty male leopard who chased away six other leopards when he moved into the area!
Mevan also tells us about the one leopard encounter that still gets his heart racing after thousands of sightings, why Sri Lankan leopards are the prettiest in the world, and the split second moment that separates an ordinary shot from the one you'll never forget.

Ep38: When Your Guest Takes Over! India, Tigers, and Lessons from the Road
G'day Honey Badgers!
This one's a bit different. I'm sitting in the bar at the Ranthambore Kothi Hotel with a cappuccino in hand, and my guest Caren has completely taken over the podcast. She's running the show, asking me about rutting deer calls, whether human blokes should scream down the street when they're in rut, and what makes a good safari guest.
We talk about the early days with Bradd in Dubbo, going independent, and what I've learned along the way. Caren also grills me on where I'm headed next, and I'll be honest, there's a moment toward the end where she says something that caught me completely off guard. 😮

Ep37: Ratna's Ripple Effect - How One Woman Is Changing Wildlife Tourism in India
G'day legends!
I'm sitting on the banks of the Bunja River in Kanha National Park's buffer zone with my good mate Ratna, her partner Wasim, and our honey badgers Caren and Amie. Two days ago, Ratna and Wasim surprised me with access to a dhole (Asian wild dog) den just 1.5 kilometres from the lodge, and I got to sit within 15 metres of four-month-old pups and adults. It's honestly a life highlight!
In this episode, we look at how Ratna has been instrumental in training the first batch of women guides in Central India since 2011, and what it really takes to lead on safari as a woman in a male-dominated field. Karen and Amy are asking all the good questions too, from love stories to future plans in lesser-known sanctuaries.
