Emanuel The Guide

Emanuel grew up in a small village near the largest Nationalpark in Ghana. His dad was working in the forest commission and thought Emanuel a lot about the woods around their home. After Emanuels Military Career he just wanted to go back into the place he calls home. Walking the endless bush, tracking wildlife and showing visitors from all over the world his paradise.

LEAVING THE TRAIL

After antilops, baboons and warthogs we came by two guys on a bicycle. The pointed us into a direction with the words: “elephants!”. Young Males, was Emanuel convinced. They are testing there boundaries and are very interested and also not less aggressiv. “They still need to learn what we are and how to interact with us.” Nevertheless he jumped of the Land Rover Defender and waved us to follow him into the bush.

ELEPHANTS

They were not easy to find and we tried to follow there tracks till it was nearly dark. but then we saw them. 50 Meters away behind thick bush.

Lifetime Memory

To be able to follow elephants on foot and get so close that you hear breaking branches and leaves followed by a deep grumble before you even see them - burned into our memories forever. What an evening.
