So no, I don’t. So we go through that exercise quite a lot. We’ve persecuted them for a long, long time. Once again, people looked and said, “How is that going to be successful? We haven’t spoken about our Rhinos Without Borders program. We did survive.”

So right now, I probably see it a little bit as a dream, but I have embraced it in every way.

If you spend that amount of time with the cat — and we found her, as Dereck said, at eight days old — so slowly, we spend more time with her than her mother. But we all have to bet against them and bank on the future, and the survival of these species.”

HUNTING WITH THE MOON - The Lions of Savuti by Dereck and Beverly Joubert.

Having lived among the lions of Botswana for thirteen years the Jouberts' present a book of astonishing photographs and text about the wild cats' nocturnal world, capturing their ferocious nighttime kills.

So every single day, we would be up at 3:30, four in the morning, go out, pick up the tracks, find her, find her mother, possibly, and then stay with her the whole day, until nine, ten at night.

How do you know they’re her tracks? We eat in a very moderate way. I’ll tell you what I said on that night, which was something I’ve never said in my life before, but I actually quite silently said, “Light, divine hope.” So I do believe that there’s a presence.

It is now a protected area of 360 thousand acres called Selinda Reserve. I think we would have constantly been going into town, especially if we were still together. And I said to Beverly, “So if some bushman walked through now and was reading these tracks, what do you think he would say?” And the real answer is, he would have gone, “Tango!”

Did you have a radio?

Today that land totals about 1 million acres in Africa.Currently the Jouberts are working on a rhino conservation project called ‘Rhinos Without Borders’, an initiative in partnership with Great Plains Conservation and And Beyond which aims to move 100 rhinos from South Africa to Botswana to save them from the poaching crisis, whilst creating a ‘Noah’s Ark’ for rhino genes.

She might have been about 13 months old, also reclined on a tree, and Dereck and I would be sitting in the front seat. I feel like there’s a lot of dogma around that and a lot of control. In one of their films they canoed 120km down the Selinda Spillway researching and filming elephants for conservation.

So I think you really enjoyed it for writing, didn’t you?

Dereck Joubert: Yeah.

Beverly Joubert: Absolutely. So my beliefs might sound a little different to everybody else’s, but I do believe that I was in a sort of a wonderful protection at that time.

Dereck Joubert: I think that many religions have overcomplicated themselves. We found a very sandy patch where you can see there are no crocodiles coming into the area, and you sort of drop into the water and just soak up this beautiful Okavango water and enjoy it.

Beverly had some flu, so we went back to camp.
