POTPOURRI EPISODE 7: THE WATERBERG

Loading player...

The season 1 finale finds me in the Waterberg learing from the wonderful people who reside there. Warwick Tarboton, someone who has known the Waterberg since childhood and who has watched it shift and change over several decades, shares his knowledge. Bronwyn Maree is an award winning icthyologist and ornithologist who lived a sailor's life while working to reduce seabird by-catch, before settling down in the Waterberg. Riaan Van Zyl gave up a convention life to rid his life from stress and exertion, and now runs small mammal safaris. And Tom Nevin is a fellow traveller and adventurer, with a motorbike as his steed.
