🎧 Crossed Sticks

Hear “Crossed Sticks” from On Safari, a collection of South African radio adventure presented by Heritage Radio Vault.

On Safari places human decisions beside an environment that cannot be taken for granted. Wildlife, difficult journeys and uncertain encounters become part of the action, giving the stories a setting where knowledge and judgement can matter as much as nerve.

📻 About the programme
Also known as General Motors On Safari, this South African programme combines fiction, factual subjects and documentary-style material within an adventure anthology. Recordings in the collection are catalogued from 1965, with titles including Crossed Sticks, Mamba and The Snows of Kilimanjaro. The different kinds of material should not be treated as one continuous expedition or as wholly factual reporting.
