Egotetse Molapisi, nicknamed Easy, first began reciting his poetry around the campfire at Mombo. He would share his poems, delighting guests as they enjoyed a starlit dinner in the camp boma. “Guests would often invite me to join them for dinner after my recital and share feedback on my poetry. I have also enjoyed a number of game drives in the company of guests where I have been exposed to the wilderness in new ways; gaining a greater understanding and appreciation of nature.”
“I love writing about nature. It’s a thrill to watch a great eagle soar across the sky, or watch a pride of lions resting under a thorn bush. Observing the behaviour of wild animals reveals so much about their world and how intricately connected it is to our own. I believe that poetry can be incredibly powerful and moving, expressing things that sometimes are impossible to convey otherwise.”
