AUDIO/VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Exploring Mpumalanga in South Africa is a photographer’s dream.
You sense the vastness of the place.
It’s probably one of the most beautiful landscapes I’ve ever seen.
In a single day, you can go from rugged mountains to these vast plains.
You add this dimension of “big game” and it makes it a totally unique experience.
This landscape is really meant to be explored and experienced, and doing things like this really gives me a sense of the place.
There’s something unique about watching the sunset over a South African landscape.
It gives this incredible light that you don’t see anywhere else.
It’s truly a spectacular experience.
