I won’t ever become complacent nor will the novelty of this experience wear off. Rhino conservation carries the flame for so many other endangered species in South Africa.

Did You Know? Starlink gives 1GB of Data at R1. 10 GB of Data at R10. This is a serious threat to MTN, Cell C, Telkom and Vodacom. Remember Gwede Mantashe's son is a chairman of MTN.

Yesterday, President Ramaphosa genuinely tried to convince President Trump that he had no knowledge of one of the largest farm murder protests in South Africa's history. A protest that addressed him directly.

Mkomazi elephant herd near Tsavo, Kenya, 1976 by Peter Beard. This is what a herd of elephants is supposed to look like. The demand for ivory as a symbol of wealth is responsible for the massacre of tens of thousands of elephants every year. The ivory trade has been around for centuries. Most countries demand ivory for piano keys, jewelry, billiard balls, and ornaments. The male elephants are the unwilling victims, their tusks hacked off and sold on the black market.

In the end it comes down to the ones who really want to be the change. Not fancy Not important Not for the show Not for ego Just for the love of being part of a team of friends, family and aligned strangers. Happy world rhino day. – at Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe

Dear @SANParksKNP “REVIEW” I’ve spent 2 days in the park, stayed at Letaba rest camp, clean and great, ate at tindlovu, food was amazing, they even hosted us at 20:30 to watch the @Springboks Ablutions were clean and all working. Nostalgic visit, felt like my childhood.
