"There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne - bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive." - Karen Blixen

Did you know that today is Endangered Species Day?
This important day was created as a way to remind us of how fragile the existence of some animals, plants and insects is, and to encourage us to learn about why it is so important to protect these species.
Today, we’re shining a spotlight on some of our beloved endangered African species…
💚 Wild Dog
The wild dog is one of the world’s most endangered mammals. Major threats to the survival of wild dogs include accidental and targeted killings by humans, viral diseases like rabies and distemper, habitat loss and competition with larger predators like lions.
💚 Cheetah
Cheetahs once occupied a much larger territory than they do now. They could be found across the Arabian Peninsula and into central India, as well as in a much larger number of African countries, including Tunisia, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Today, due to human settlement and agricultural expansion, cheetah habitat is just 10% of what it used to be.
💚 Lion
With around 23 000 African lions left in the wild, they're now officially classified as 'vulnerable'. The main threats to African lions are human-wildlife conflict and natural prey decline, as well as habitat loss, climate change and wildlife trade.
💚 Chimpanzee
All chimps are listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The main threats to chimpanzees are habitat loss, disease, and hunting, especially for bushmeat. These are exacerbated by chimps' slow reproductive rate - if an adult is killed, it takes 14 - 15 years to replace him or her as a breeding individual.
💚 Black Rhino
The population of black rhinos declined dramatically in the 20th century at the hands of European hunters and settlers. Between 1960 and 1995, black rhino numbers dropped by a sobering 98%, to less than 2 500 individuals. Thanks to persistent conservation efforts across Africa, black rhino numbers have doubled from their historic low 20 years ago to more than 6 000
