The Inner Journey
Part 5 of our wilderness journey Simplicity in all things is the secret of the wilderness and one of its most valuable lessons. It is what we leave behind that is important. I think the matter of simplicity goes further than just food, equipment, and unnecessary...![The Food](https://wild.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/granola.jpg)
The Food
Part 4 of our wilderness journey Simphiwe told us to catch some grasshoppers for dinner, but not the colorful ones because they were noxious tasting and poisonous. He explained that he ate the insects since he was a child…very tasty, raw or grilled. Try it, you’ll...![The Camp](https://wild.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/camp_3.jpg)
The Camp
Part 3 of our wilderness journey I have to admit that I was a little nervous about 5 days of backpacking with no tent. Somehow, a tent give me a (perhaps false) sense of safety in the middle of the wilderness. But, I accepted that my trip to Africa was going to push...![The Wildlife](https://wild.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ele-grasses-_DSC0310-ed-1024x678-162403_1024x675.jpg)
The Wildlife
Part 2 of our wilderness journey I had just drifted into sleep, breathing the incense smell of iNthomboti smoke from the fire, when I was suddenly awoken by Simphiwe, our “trail officer” — “The elephants are coming…we need to move quickly, now. NOW” As the...![The Trail](https://wild.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/trail_DSC0895-ed-lr-1024x678-168423_1024x675.jpg)
The Trail
Part 1 of our wilderness journey The pin head-sized pepper ticks are a REAL nuisance…..you need to pick them out with a pin and tweezers, grooming yourself and your friends on the trail much like the baboons we see daily groom each other. Welcome to your ancestry! You...![Protected: Action at Lake Banzena, the lynch-pin of the elephants’ migration](https://wild.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Bz-Landscape01-1024x819-97129_1024x675.jpg)

My Journey “In the Tracks of Giants” – Art & Conservation
“Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as human nature. There is only Nature and the very human expression of it. To understand this is to understand the significance of what we need to do if we are to restore the lost balance. Our task is not to go back...![My Journey “In the Tracks of Giants” – Transboundary Conservation](https://wild.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/PeaceParks.jpg)
My Journey “In the Tracks of Giants” – Transboundary Conservation
Animals, seeds, air and water move freely across landscapes — only humans feel the need to define our landscapes with political boundaries. Transboundary conservation areas, or conservation areas that span these defined political boundaries, are vitally...![My Journey “In the Tracks of Giants” – World Heritage Designations](https://wild.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BotswanaWorldheritage-2.jpg)
