So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away for the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.

From Terry Tempest William’s Opinion piece, ‘What Are We Doing to Our World of Wonder?‘ in the New York Times Opinion

“We need the natural world — alive with birdsong, clear-running creeks and breathing forests. Octopodes camouflaged in tide pools will forever delight the child who reaches out to touch their flesh and is surprised by a swirl of purple ink, signaling the octopus has vanished. The rolling bugle of sandhill cranes at dusk on the tundra is the perfection of 2.5 million years of evolution. We live in an enchanted world if we can humble ourselves long enough to see it and slow down enough to feel it. -

We have a new secret camp and it is the real deal, the bee’s knees, the business and the cat’s pajamas all at the same time.

In August, our rangers spotted a giraffe with a spear in its side. They called Nyunga Conservancy and the Kenya Wildlife Service Veterinary Unit who promptly came, mobilized the giraffe, removed the spear, and treated his wounds. In the scheme of conservation in Africa, this was just another day, but it showcases the important work our rangers, as well as rangers all over the continent, do.

In two days, four of our rangers will compete in the Wildlife Rangers Challenge, racing to raise money uniforms, boots, radios and wildlife census training. Please have a look in the bio to learn more about how you can support our team and their important conservation work.

While in the UK recently, Kerry and I visited family friend and hero of African Natural History, Jonathan Kingdon. Jonathan is such an inspiration. I wrote a blog about him which is linked in our bio. It’s about science and art and how rarely they meet as they do in Jonathan’s beautiful work.

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things. -Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is widely known for caring for elephants—and, lately, for the addorable internet sensation, Bumpy the Hippo. But some of its most important conservation work happens far from the spotlight.

Behind this Golden-rumped Senghi (Elephant relative) is a story of habitat protection. The trust has funded wildlife fencing to safeguard the precious coastal forest at Arabuko–Sokoke near Malindi where this Senghi lives, as well as the Shimba Hills further south. These forests shelter biodiversity found nowhere else on Earth, including this Endangered little mammal, restricted to Sokoke and a single forest in Tanzania. In the process of safeguarding the unique flora and fauna within these forests from illegal exploitation, the Trust has also lent protection to the neighboring farmers from crop-raiding elephants.

Conservation cannot be only about the animals international tourists come hoping to see. Protecting intact habitat protects the overlooked, the extraordinary, and the whole living web that depends on it.

In five days of walking last week, our guides tracked and found three separate groups of lions (and a leopard on no lion day). Those are pretty good kitty cat odds.

The Lugh Toad is our rarest toad. She is very special and hard to find. And yet, we’ve never had a guest excited to find a Lugh Toad. Even the name seems like a let down. That’s ok, she hasn’t had the best PR and she doesn’t feature so much in Safari marketing… And yet we take care of her anyway and we also celebrate her. We don’t just protect or point out the flashy animals, we also make habitat and excitement about our more obscure biodiversity.
