Footprints of Hope
Born from a sheer passion and desire to make a lasting difference to plights in need, the team of FOOTPRINTS OF HOPE (&Beyond and Africa Foundation, together with Gordon Gilbert) developed a challenge to achieve something truly valuable in the areas of wildlife conservation and sustainable community development.

Sloth bears are active mostly in the night and is a insect and fruit eater. It was amazing to see this bear during the day rubbing its shaggy coat on a tree bark to get rid of insects.

We were first aware of lions nearby when we heard their mighty roars in the distance. Sawing fresh tracks meant they were very close.

On my way to the opes safari vehicle I spotted two cheetahs about 300m away! We spent about 15 minutes watching them before they went up a dune. It was a good sighting around the lodge.

On our afternoon game drive we spotted a male cheetah! We were still watching in awe when a hyena and striped jackal came through. The cheetah suddenly attacked the hyena, and ran off to his hiding place.
