“I still get tingles because it was a real investment in my life. In the end, all the dehydration and everything that goes along with it is a memory of how I risked my life, and those sorts of things shaped me,” he said.
“Because of that, here I am now, and life carries on.”
Hazen said he is proud of where they got.
“I feel so proud not that I did, but the team that made it all happen and that’s from 10 years of making Primal Survivor,” he said.
Hazen said it was his first time in Mzansi, and he loved how people in the country were warm and friendly.
“I was driving up to Kruger and there was a traffic stop, right when the cars stopped everyone got out of the cars and started chatting,” he said.
“I was like this is traffic and you guys don’t know each other. I gave it a try too and I thought it was the coolest thing. It was humanity, and then I was told that it is ubuntu,” he said.
