Rhino Diaries: Journey into the Okavango

The author combines his passion for the natural world with the cultural diversity of the continent, while at the same time being involved with several conservation projects close to his heart. Throughout his tenure as a conservation ecologist with Wilderness Safaris, Nic conducted extensive rhino conservation work, where during this time he recorded his unique experiences in the Okavango Delta. Rhino Diaries: Journey into the Okavango captures these special moments and celebrates Botswana’s incredible nature, wildlife and culture. Over time, Nic’s collection of diary entries, blog posts, emails, photographs and field notes came together to create this book.

“It takes a special combination of traits in any person to forsake the basic comforts of life in town or a lodge for a small, stuffy tent surrounded by hyenas and lions, and living on simple victuals while performing hard manual labour, yet showing patience and empathy when working with these extremely precious animals. I watched Nic become inculcated with the ability to become part of the wild world. This deep respect and understanding, which incorporates the small but important habits of the various rhino personalities, the smells of wild sage and the mustiness of the Okavango dust, the sounds of a distant lion’s roar or the rasping call of the early morning spurfowl, and the respect for how it all comes together, is noticeable in Rhino Dairies: Journey into the Okavango. Nic’s diary-type narrative of his time working on the Botswana Rhino Project has really brought it all to life.” – Map Ives, conservationist.
