We had the opportunity to volunteer for ten weeks in S. Africa with an amazing group called Global Vision International. A typical day had us up at 4am (BIG YAWN!), scarfing down a mug (or three) of coffee, tumbling into the truck, and heading out to observe and record the animals. Our job was to help with reserve management, prey and predator studies – in general, get close to the animals.
What an experience! Watching from a few feet away the antics of a baby elephant or how quickly a young cheetah family grows…we were spoiled. Every day was a new discovery and a new appreciation for those amazing (and adorable) animals.
We’d like to share some of our favorites with you!
