It was back in March 2015 when Baye first reached out to us. Her new wildlife rescue center, Free to be Wild, was in danger of losing its small 6 acre plot in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Baye needed help and we were happy to respond. Now, three years later a confident young rehabber walks into the café to greet us. It has been a bit over two years since we last met here. Baye joined us for breakfast with a newly rescued baby baboon! This time, no animal in tow only confidence. We spend the next hour catching up over lunch….

Baye says it best, “There’s nothing better than returning rescued orphans back into the wild.” From being kept in a small cage to living free. Macho and Sabre are two gorgeous Serval Cats. A young man had them in a small cage for several years. Then, when he left home his mother jumped on the opportunity to set them free. But, didn’t know how. She contacted Baye Pigors with Free to be Wild just outside Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Baye went to visit the young Servals. Yes, they were still wild enough that a successful rehab and return to the wilds looked…

Across Africa large and small wildlife conservation projects abound. Some highly effective ones are the smaller grassroots operations. The first quarter of 2017 is rushing on by. We’re fortunate to visit some incredible wildlife conservation projects during our travels in Africa. Since October 2016 we’ve been on the road, from South Africa, through Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and into Kenya. I believe we’ve met some of the best rescue/rehabbers and wildlife protectors there are. Here are the top five wildlife conservation projects to watch in 2017 The wildlife conservation projects we target are not the big ones. We…

It’s that time of year again where we spend time setting goals for 2017 only to abandon them a few weeks from now. Do it differently this year! “Let’s watch a TED talk,” Russ said. In the most unlikely place up in the mountains of Tanzania we had good signal and plenty of data. Settled down in our rooftop tent we clicked “inspiring” short talks. The first two weren’t much, but the third, well, it got me thinking. It’s that time of year again where we look back, then forward. We spend time setting goals for 2017. To be honest,…
