Description
After she spent time at a wildlife sanctuary in Florida, helping to care for over 100 exotic animals, hand-feeding rescued tigers and getting pinched by lemurs, Mahina became more determined than ever to see more of these animals in the wild.
She created her own non-profit and began her journey as a wildlife journalist, and travelled to untamed lands from the African wilderness to the exotic jungles in Brazil.
Being visited by a hungry honey badger at night, witnessing a young lioness making her first kill, getting charged by a white rhino, battling septicaemia, coming face to face with wild jaguars and swimming contentedly on her own in an area often frequented by Great White sharks after missing a warning sign, simply served to make her journey all the more interesting!
She met incredible people during her travels and also crossed paths with some rather unsavoury characters - all of whom inspired her and helped her grow as a person. In the end, her passion for wildlife got her a permanent job at a safari lodge where watching elephants walk through the reception, lions sleep on the lawn, leopards wander around the staff canteen and bush-babies settle inside her house became her new routine!
Mahina also had to escort a guest with a nosebleed away from a lioness, tried to explain to a Chinese tourist why she couldn't see giraffes "on-demand" while staying in a national park and somehow managed to remain sane as she was being woken up by baboons running across her tiled roof very early every morning!
"Wild Adventures: A wildlife journalist's true stories" is a collection of true, funny, and sometimes scary anecdotes about her time in the wilderness which will surely entertain the wildlife lovers and fellow adventurers out there!
