Thank you, Wildlife ACT
22.06.2014 | My volunteering time with Wildlife ACT is finished now. Thank you, Cole, our wildlife monitor in the Mkhuze Game Reserve, and Pippa, assistant monitor and wine maker, and my co-volunteers Lizzie, Sabrina and Catalina for the beautiful time. This has been my first experience with wildlife in Africa: I had several breathtaking moments and learned a lot. Internet connectivity was bad out there in the bush, so I was not yet able to blog about my experiences. I will do this in the upcoming days as I have arrived in my next destination now: St. Lucia in the iSimagaliso Wetland Park, a World Heritage Site. So, please stay tuned…
Lions in sight
11.06.2014 | Standing up at 4.30h will be my daily routine now being with Wildlife ACT for the next weeks. But it’s worth it: This morning we saw two lions passing less than 10 metres from our car. No worries, they had had their breakfast already…
Landed well…
09.06.2014 | … in Richards Bay and, together with the other volunteers, I’m on the way to the Mkhuze Game Reserve.
Taking-off to Richards Bay
09.06.2014 | As I finally managed to be online with my new SA SIM card, I am able to post this almost live from our take-off to Richards Bay. KwaZulu-Natal, here I come.
Volunteering with Wildlife ACT
09.06.2014 | I am about to leave Johannesburg now. For the next two weeks I will be volunteering with Wildlife ACT. Wildlife ACT runs critical endangered and priority species conservation projects in Africa with focus on Cheetah, African Wild Dog, Rhino, Lion, Elephant, Leopard and Vulture. As far as I know by now, I will work in the Mkhuze Game Reserve. You may not hear from me for quite a while as there may be neither wifi nor other mobile connectivity – just wilderness…
