Gesa Neitzel ventures from Berlin into the bush. Her goal: to train as a safari ranger in Africa. That means spending almost a year in basic tent camps. No internet, no bathrooms, no doors – but plenty of zebras, aardvarks and scorpions. The training includes tracking, survival skills and shooting practice.
How does a young woman fare in this unfamiliar world? Can she rely on her instincts? Do they actually still work?
She recounts breathtaking encounters with elephants and lions, walking barefoot through the savannah, long nights under the starry sky – and a life that is finally truly beginning.
The audiobook version is read by Gesa Neitzel herself and features ambient soundscapes to evoke the respective settings.
