About the Expeditioner

Born in Hluvukani, on the edge of South Africa’s Greater Kruger, Nkateko Letti Mzimba walks two worlds at once — village life and the wild frontiers. For more than a decade she has served as an anti-poaching ranger, growing into a leader as skilled behind the wheel of a 4×4 as she is in front of a camera. A natural communicator and avid storyteller, Stories We Tell marks Nkateko’s first documentary — and her chance to share her story with the world, on her own terms.
