🌍 Into the Wild
This is nature. A reminder of the balance that must be protected.
Predator and prey, survival and sacrifice—each part of the great web of life.
This photo was taken during a journey from Sabi Sand Game Reserve to Mozambique. We entered the National Park via Paul Kruger Gate and exited at Malelane Gate in the south. We were self-driving, like most people we saw.
It was a completely different experience to the one we had in Sabi Sands.
What you can’t see in this photo is the 20 vehicles lined up at the roadside, all jostling for a glimpse of the action.
These are questions anyone going on safari should be asking:
At what point does wildlife tourism become unsustainable?
And what matters more—access, or preservation?
We believe in high-quality, low-density experiences. We support private conservancies where visitor numbers are limited, guiding is responsible, and wildlife and communities benefit.
But it’s not perfect—because often, these experiences are only accessible to the privileged few. Meanwhile, national parks rely on visitor fees to protect land for wildlife.
There are no easy answers. But asking the questions is a start.
It all comes back to balance.
