Today is Endangered Species Day.  I cannot think of a better success story than that of Dame Daphne Sheldrick and The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. She is a proven example to us all that unwavering dedication can help a species for generations to come. I am so honored to have spent time in the company of these elephant orphans which under her watch, will grow up to give all of us the chance to see elephants in the wild for years to come.  

Mornings in the Maasai Mara are the essence of Africa. The animals have just begun to stir and the light is just lifting off the savanna. The Mara is like no place I have ever seen before. Morning here is like nothing you can experience any place else on earth. Africa stands still and takes a giant breath. When I am here, I am in Africa.
