Richard Van der Vieren

Baba Rich: the name alone evokes the untamed essence of a world-wanderer and the wisdom of a sage. As the alpha wolf of the legendary Wolf Children wolfpack, Baba Rich is more than a man; he's a force of nature. His portfolio is as diverse as the landscapes he's conquered: photographer, filmmaker, art director, alchemist, musician, and master storyteller. This jack of all trades has circled the globe more than once, touching the ground from the mountaintops of Yosemite to the Azores in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, from Iceland to New Zealand. Though South Africa is where he hangs his hat (and camera) and calls home, you're just as likely to find him roaming with his wolfpack across international borders. Baba Rich traded the glitzy stages and deafening speakers — back when he toured with big-shot music industry artists — for the quieter joys of life. These days, he's finding bliss in the rustle of leaves, the whispers of the wind, and the crackle of campfires. You'll catch him climbing trees just to get that perfect shot or to simply ponder life from a higher perspective. In a world addicted to speed and noise, Baba Rich serves as a compelling reminder that stillness, nature, and genuine connections are what truly enrich our lives. Connect with him to unlock the magic he sees in the world; your soul will thank you for it.
