CL-113 Megan Eaves On The Incomparable Wild Of Africa
You can\u2019t fully understand the awe-inspiring nature of an African safari until you\u2019ve experienced it for yourself, or at least so says freelance writer and journalist Megan Eaves. In her first piece for Good Beer Hunting, she inches readers closer than ever to the majesty, fragility, and sometimes violent necessities of life in the bush in her longform feature titled \u201cLife Stays Close to the River \u2014 Solar Beer and Wildebeest in the Serengeti,\u201d which was published on October 5, 2022.
Through her words and photos, Megan brings readers on a special journey, and shares how beer brewed in this\xa0 remote place is more than just a drink. It\u2019s a lifeline to clean water in a parched land, and an economic addition to an area that\u2019s heavily dependent on tourism for the survival of most, if not all, of its inhabitants. She paints a vivid portrait of life, death, and rebirth in this fragile region, one that doesn\u2019t just deserve our attention and awe, but requires it for its preservation.\xa0
We\u2019ll take her experience even further in today\u2019s conversation. Megan shares additional memories from the 14-day sojourn into the heart of the Serengeti, including a bloody encounter with a pride of lions and one unlucky elephant. From the dizzying spectacle of the night sky to the haunting sound of 100,000 migrating wildebeests, Megan\u2019s experience becomes our experience, and one we\u2019re lucky to peer into.
