In Part I of this two-part series, author Sue Tidwell shares the emotional and eye-opening story behind her book Cries of the Savanna. What began as a reluctant hunting trip to Tanzania turned into a profound reckoning with grief, identity, and the often-misunderstood role of hunting in African conservation.
Sue opens up about the loss of her brother, the eerie coincidence of sharing her journey with two guides who bore his name, and the impact of powerful women like Lillian — a female game officer breaking barriers in the bush.
This episode challenges surface-level narratives and invites listeners into a layered conversation about life, death, and what it means to witness a world vastly different from our own.
