Hi Tristan, thanks for taking the time for this. A couple questions: 1) what's the ONE technology advancement that you think has added the most to your online guiding experience (infrared, thermal, drone, camera stabilization technology, etc)? I'd have to go with the infrared, myself... 2) any updates on the Botswana expansion? and, if YOU could pick the next location to expand, where would you go?

I really do love the SafariLive concept, btw. Especially the school drives. A lot of kids know more about dinosaurs than they do about wildlife... your platform has the real potential to change how people think about wild spaces.

Re, viewing vs filming, totally agreed; the technical logistics behind what you guys manage to do is a bit mind-blowing, and I'm sure I barely grasp a fraction of it. Your cam ops are amazing; I'd love to spend a day just shadowing Jeandre. :)

I'll just put a banana in my ear...

Another option (which I think a lot of people don't realize exists) is conservation voluntourism. I'll be in South Africa for a couple weeks later this year, volunteering to collect data for Panthera... my third trip to Africa, and every one has been amazing, but hoping to see a leopard this time!
