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. A love of the wild and the surrounding communities, as well as a heartfelt concern for the challenges in which each face pulled together a team with a common goal and a “mission impossible” plan of action: an 11 day awareness walk that’s all about empowering communities and enabling conservation.

LION KILL

On our afternoon game drive we noticed a Tsessebe behaving strangely in the middle of an open area, we continued watching and noticed some baboons in the area and all of them were looking in a similar direction.
