My Travel Story

by: Ryan Calvert Start Date: Feb 16, 2018 - End Date: May 16, 2018
Visiting Africa has always been a bucket list dream of mine, African wildlife has fascinated me for as long as I can remember.

So this year I decided to make my Safari dream a reality and am in the process of booking a trip for this August!!

Whilst there I will be participating in "Pack for a Purpose" -  By using a space in my personal luggage to pack supplies needed by The Victoria Falls Anti-Poaching Unit in Zimbabwae. This is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of the area’s wildlife and natural resources. Since its establishment by local safari operator Charles Brightman and the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in 1999, it has removed 22,000 wire snares, arrested 683 hardened poachers, and saved 179 mammals injured through snaring and then released them back into the wild.

I have saved most of the money needed and just need the last bit to help cover the flights - which being from Australia seem to be very expensive, and hopefully have enough to get a camera to help document my travels!!
