If you are stranded in the African bush, what���s the best way to stay alive ?
The best advice is to stay calm, panicking will increase your stress levels and could lead to dehydration faster.
 
 The next is to assess your situation, look for high trees , this can help you with both safety from animals on the ground and can help with getting a better assessment of your surroundings and see if you can get a connection on your phone. 
 
 
  If it���s safe to travel, do so only at dusk and dawn when the sun is lowest. Don���t travel at night. If you need to spend the night, don���t start a fire, this could spread uncontrollable and create an additional challenge for you. If you find a tree that is free of animals and snakes, try and use a piece of clothing to tie you to that tree so you can sleep without falling. 
 
 Finding water is essential, don���t drink from any standing water, it most likely contains dangerous pathogens. Try and find roots, bulbs or trees that have water. If you can see a river , try to follow its path downstream, it will most likely lead to more human populated areas but also be careful as animals often migrate to and from rivers.
