OUR HOST – ADAM FELTS
I invite you to join me on an adventure of a lifetime in South Africa
where I have had the marvelous opportunity to experience its
wonders firsthand.
It was my first night under the massive array of stars in the
Namibian desert. I had just set up my little one-man tent 20 yards
from the fire where three Namibian rhino trackers would sleep out
in the open. As we prepared the site, Himba, an elderly tracker
who spoke no English, reached out with an offer of homemade
jerky. Excitedly I accepted the gift and quickly took a bite. The
taste … not what I had hoped. I could not swallow it. When Himba
turned, I threw the jerky behind me just as far as I could. Dread
choked me with the realization that I had just bated lions and
hyenas to our campsite. I fretted through the evening.
Back in my tent, exhausted by hours of worrying about the jerky-
eating predators, sleep finally came. Scratching noises woke me
with a startle. The memory of the tossed jerky and thoughts of
lions in the campsite overwhelmed me. I sat alone trying to make a plan while listening to the scratch,
scratch, scratching. I unzipped my tent and looked out. Fifteen yards from me, a male lion with a massive
mane was lying in the shadows. I quickly dropped back and zipped the tent. With few options, I made
a plan to get to the Land Rover parked on the other side of the fire. I grabbed my flashlight and rallied
what courage I could. In one movement, I unzipped my tent, jumped out, and started to run, shining the
flashlight at the lion. The lion. I came to a stop, looked around to see if the trackers were watching and
walked back to my tent past the lion-shaped luggage and equipment. As I climbed in my tent, I noticed
the flap on my tent scratch, scratch, scratching against the canvas in the breeze.
Well, I have learned a lot over my 20 years at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. I have been fortunate
to have had opportunities like tracking rhinos in Namibia, traveling to Australia to talk about rhinos,
and leading a safari in Tanzania with a wonderful group of fellow wildlife enthusiasts. Starting out as a
keeper with elephants and rhinos and now the Curator of both Heart of Africa and Asia Quest, I have had
the privilege to play an active role within the Columbus Zoo and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums
community. I value the work we do in conservation, animal care, and education as well as the memories
we help create for families and friends of the Zoo.
Africa is everything you think it is. This trip is another captivating opportunity to see the Big Five,
hundreds of bird species, diverse landscapes, local communities, and even luggage masquerading as a
lion. I look forward to sharing this trip to South Africa with you where we will see and do things we will
never forget and create memories of a lifetime.

OUR DESTINATION – CAPE TOWN
& KRUGER NATIONAL PARK
Our journey begins with a memorable visit to Cape Town, where highlights will include
Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens, the Cape Peninsula (including Boulders Beach,
Seal Island, and a funicular trip). Then, we’ll fly to the Greater Kruger National Park
area, and spend two nights at Gomo Gomo Game Lodge within the Greater Kruger
Park (Klaserie Nature Reserve), and lastly three nights at the magnificent Moditlo
River Lodge in the well-known Hoedspruit area, both of which are home to the Big
Five, along with many other wildlife species. We also visit the Hoedspruit Endangered
Species Centre and the “Moholoholo” Animal Rehabilitation Centre.
