7 Weeks in South Africa - Rhino Camp & Road Trips

Potluck @ 6:30pm | Slideshow @ 7:15pm

Join writer/educator/environmentalist Daniel Hudon in his explorations of South Africa over 7 weeks in May & June 2019. He spent 2.5 weeks as a volunteer in a rhino conservation camp in the Greater Kruger National Park area. There he participated in staff research, patrolled with the Black Mambas anti-poaching unit, and took part in the controversial practice of rhino dehorning (it is legal to trade rhino horn in South Africa, but there is an international ban). After finishing at the camp, he took a 4-week road trip to get down to Cape Town, in search of wildlife and great hiking. Because the Drakensberg escarpment runs most of the length of South Africa, great hiking was assured at almost every stop along the way.

Daniel Hudon of Boston, by way of Calgary, Alberta, teaches math, astronomy, and physics at the college level. He has also worked off and on as a freelance writer; his first book was "The Bluffer's Guide to the Cosmos," and his 2017 book, "Brief Eulogies for Lost Animals: An Extinction Reader" was named a "Must Read" in the Massachusetts Book Awards. He writes essays about nature and his travels and has an essay about searching for the wild at Medawisla Lodge in the last issue of the AMC's own "Appalachia Journal." He also loves off the beaten path travel - ask him about his ideas for future trips at the show!
