Greetings! I'm Val from the expansive Kalahari Desert in Botswana. For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to conservation and tourism. Among my most cherished experiences is raising Sirga, a lioness I rescued as a mere ten-day-old cub. Through our countless journeys together, she's mastered the art of hunting, and today, we wander freely across the vast stretches of the Kalahari we proudly call home. Join me in this podcast series as I bring the captivating tales of the African bush directly to you!

How I Changed My World to Dedicate my Life to Conservation
My name is Valentin Grüner. I live in one of Africa’s most remote Wilderness areas. The Kalahari in Botswana. Nature and Wildlife is my biggest passion. I hand-raised Sirga the Lioness and walked the Kalahari to join her on her hunts. I work in tourism and nature conservation. How I got here? Well - it’s kind of a long story! Join me for my very first podcast episode!
See you next time on the Kalahari Diaries!
