The day is finally here, when Craig and Karolina tell you all their funniest stories from the years they worked at the lodges in the Kruger region. They tell us about everything from guests who made false allegations of theft to when leopards sneaked into the lodge.

This will be a slightly different kind of episode of Wildest Kruger Stories, but probably our most important one.

We went to visit the Rhino Orphanage and met with their owner and founder Arrie Van Deventer, who will be the one talking in todays podcast episode. It was an incredible experience being there and seeing first hand the incredible work they do to give these orphaned rhinos a second chance to life.

We want to bring the word out there and share these stories of the people working in the front line of conservation and the fight against rhino poaching, because we strongly believe it is incredibly important for people to know about.

If you want to help, check out the links below. Every little bit counts, and makes a difference in the life of the rhinos.

Today we sit down and chat to Maggie Samijlenko about her experience being on safari for the first time and traveling with Wildest Kruger Safaris. We talk about what it's like seeing the African animals in the wild for the first time, that feeling you get when a wild lion walks past your vehicle and looks your straight into the eyes, and how monkeys steal your food if they have the chance.
