Once again we’ve spent most of the year in Africa looking for people who save African wildlife. Thanks to your donations we’ve been able to help many more. 2016 turned out to be a banner year! Many thanks to folks like you who donated to save African wildlife. I’m sitting at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. The perfect majestic setting to feel the grandeur of creation.

From the eBook, “Wildlife Ranger:…” The static crackle of the radio woke me from a shallow sleep. “Sierra Charlie come in…” I heard them bantering back and forth as I unzipped the fly screen of my small bush swag, climbed out and put on my shirt and boots.
