We drive on to the campsite, where we pitch our tents on top of a hill with a stunning view. In no time, a full kitchen setup is magically pulled out of the car. While we soak in the surroundings and go for a little walk with the armed Jared, the locals whip up dinner for us. Everything is fresh and pure – absolutely delicious! Sitting by the campfire, our eyes soon start to close, and we retreat to our tents. Time to not think about wild animals for a bit – the fire and Jared’s presence are enough to feel safe. And to my own surprise, I sleep like a baby.

Going to bed early also means waking up early to catch the sunrise. After a short hike to the top of the hill, we’re greeted with a big breakfast: fresh pancakes, lentils, and, of course, jugs of warm milk for chai or coffee. No one else around, no traffic, just nature and wandering zebras and antelopes. Oh, and at sunrise, we did have to step over a still-steaming leopard poop… Yeah, I think I’ll stick close to Jared!
