Reatile “Rea” Schulte to Brinke

Growing up in Maun, the gateway to the Okavango, gave Rea a passion for wildlife from an early age. He worked as a safari guide and ran his own tourism business before joining the Natural History Filming Unit Botswana. He was inspired to become a filmmaker by his desire to share the natural beauty of Botswana’s wildlife with a wide audience.

“Matho is my favourite cat. She’s a go getter always at the forefront for any hunts and is very experienced. She's a mum with a strong character – very feisty and takes no nonsense. The best thing about my job is spending 24/7 of my time in the wilderness, and educating audiences from all over the world about the importance of wildlife conservation.”
