Best thing about the DeltaIt always gets crazy.

“Working in the Delta is always dynamic, I never know what to expect when heading out to film. The animal behaviour is constantly changing. I'd like the viewers to appreciate the complexities of the Okavango and the sheer joy it brings us. Most importantly the pride I have when showing the world the wonders of my country.”
