A privilege to catch sight of a leopard- this big male was remarkably chilled in the early morning light over Grumeti Reserve this morning. Huge thanks to the amazing @grumetifund team for hosting & showing me their impressive conservation & community in the Serengeti. @tusk_org
An incredible achievement by 1000 + rangers competing in @tusk_org annual Wildlife Ranger Challenge across 20 African countries yesterday. They each ran 21km with 22kgs on their backs showcasing the strength & fitness required to do their work protecting the natural world.
