BORN WILD, RAISED OTHERWISE is a funny, gripping and deeply human keynote about our species' lost connection with the natural world — and the profound need to reclaim it. Drawing on two decades as a safari guide, wilderness broadcaster and storyteller, James Hendry takes audiences on an extraordinary journey through Africa's wild places, from close encounters with buffalo and charging leopards to moments of quiet wonder among vultures, birds and ancient mountains. Along the way, absurd guest encounters, hard-won field lessons and deeply personal stories of friendship and loss reveal something larger: wilderness is not separate from us, but part of who we are.
Blending humour, adventure and reflection, this is far more than a talk about nature. It is about fear and belonging, disconnection and reconnection, and what the wild can teach modern humans about perspective, humility and being fully alive.
