Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 I wake up at 4 a. m. and move through my room with an old automation. I splash water on my face and notice the gray in my stubble and the thinning hair on the top of my head. I am getting older. I consider how my early life as a safari guide had been a strange initiation into a different type of guiding.#2 The Shangaan are a tribe of poets and rogues who abandoned the warring ways of the Zulu to go their own way. They are a tribe of storytelling observers. They are known for being the best trackers in southern Africa.#3 Ren is a naturalist and wilderness genius who grew up near here hunting and gathering in tune with the old ways. He is a living bridge between the ancient and the modern, and he embodies a way of living that is being forgotten.#4 The call of a lion is what awakens the tracker. It is a sound wave that resonates through the thick cold air, and it brings a shift in Renias’s energy. The unknown is a discipline of wildness, and wildness is a relationship with aliveness.
