Wildlife Ranger Challenge

10/31/2023

From August to September, Lewa Safari Camp in Kenya participated in the Wildlife Ranger Challenge, a collaborative effort between Tusk and the Game Rangers Association of Africa. This initiative united more than 100 ranger teams from 20+ African nations. They faced mental and physical challenges, culminating in a tough half marathon on September 16th. During the race, participants had to shoulder 50 pounds of equipment, mirroring the weight they typically carry during intense field patrols. "In the heart of every wildlife ranger beats the soul of a conservationist dedicated to safeguarding the treasures of our planet. The wildlife and its habitat cannot speak, so the rangers must and will."
