Feeding the Big Lions

T.I.A

Here`s the movie I made from the time I spent in South Africa nov/dec. I just got back home - but I miss it already! 

Great place, amazing people and beautiful animals...

It`s time for a nap

Swimming with Tigers

Swimming with Tigers is a lot of fun - but be prepared for scratches!

What would you do when a playful tiger dives into the pool after you, with its claws out, and mouth open? 

The Face of a Lion

 “Some people look at the face of a Lion and they see the lion, whilst other people look at the face of a lion and feel the lion. People with no passion see a lion and it travels from the eyes to the brain. People with passion see a lion and it travels from the eyes to the heart.”

- Dennis Roelofs

The Harnas TV series

When I was at Harnas Wildlife Foundation in Namibia jan/feb this year, there was a German filmcrew there. Now the TV-series is finally out! Not that I understand German, but it`s still beautiful, and reminds me about the amazing time we had at Harnas... Hopefully they didn`t film me that much :)

Harnas Wildlife Foundation

 "Back home, I live in a world where people find happiness under false pretences. It’s a place where people are made to feel important or accepted by the possessions that they have. Whether it’s the last fashion, the newest hairstyle, your position at work, the car that you drive, or whatever it may be. Harnas puts perspective on what true happiness is or should be. It’s a magical place. A place where you find the true happiness you were seeking. It’s something that cannot be bought - only experienced. It’s spending the night gazing at the starts, a sleep-out in the bush, a warm smile or words of encouragement, a small animal that lives through the night because you cared. It’s something telling you, “I believe in you” when you`ve never heard those words before, and mostly, it’s finding the unconditional love of an animal. Looking into the eyes of a small lion that loves you for who you are on the inside. Relying on you for strength, growth and affection. In all of this, your reward is a hundredfold. The love that fills and lives within your heart is unimaginable and unexplainable. It’s something that I hope that everyone in their lifetime can feel at least once."
