My Travel Story

by: Gracie Burgess Start Date: Feb 28, 2026 - End Date: Aug 27, 2026

My mission is to protect wildlife at Kwantu Private Game Reserve. I will be chopping down trees, removing invasive species which disrupt the ecosystem in the reserve, mending fences and participating in anti-poaching patrol drives to protect lions and rhinos.

Witnessing the effects of climate change, deforestation, and other challenges that face Africa's wildlife, has really given me the motivation not just to protect it, but help it thrive. 

I believe that with funding, my support will go towards helping these beautiful animals strive towards a brighter future.
