Jaco tells us some inspirational stories about how the reserve assists and uplifts people from their community, like Ranger Neil and Aunty Linda who runs the kitchen, and aids them in developing their careers.

We also find out why missing teeth have inspired this interview.

Unemployment is high in South Africa, and it is good to hear how this support benefits not only the staff and their families, but how this also helps the safety of the animals.

Jaco also gets a chance to tell us about the 3 lodges on the Botlierskop Game Reserve.
