A heartwarming way to start off Valentines Day 💕captured by Zoey Lyttle, writer at People Magazine, and one of EXPLORE’s adventurers. Check out this newborn elephant at Honeyguide Camp in Tarangire National Park taking some of its very first wobbly steps. With its tiny trunk flailing and legs a little unsteady, this little explorer is learning the ways of the wild under the watchful eyes of its protective herd.

Frankie’s unbelievable wildlife encounters in the Mashatu Game Reserve continued over the next few days. Of particular note was finding a cheetah coalition who’d taken down an impala. Soon enough hyenas appeared and claimed the dinner as their own!
