    Episode 665 - Jacques Hartzenberg || Black Rhino Ownership

    We’ve had a lot of conversations with owners of rhinos in South Africa, and believe it or not, private owners are one of the most important cogs in the wheel of rhino conservation. Today, Robbie catches up on location with Jacques Hartzenberg, owner of Kalahari Oryx, an 86,000 hectare area in the northern part of South Africa - the equivalent of about 186,000 acres. As they are driving across this massive property in Jacques own Land Cruiser, they discuss what it takes to conserve these animals, what it’s like to be the third largest black rhino owner in the country, and just living and breathing rhino conservation as a helicopter circles overhead to dart a specific rhino for blood tests.

    Episode 663 - Sean Outram || The Good Ol’ Days Of Africa

    Sean Outram returns to the The Origins Foundation podcast, sitting with Robbie in his home of Lakipia County Kenya to rehash stories of his Great Grandfather and the good old days of Africa. George (his Great Grandpa) lived quite the life - from being documented, trampled by elephants, to pictures of him with Frederick Courtney Selous, to his eventual death by a lioness - it truly was a lesson in old school Africa at its finest.
