Africa & Covid-19: Boots on the Ground

Published: 07 April 2020

In the midst of the Covid-19 global pandemic, it s easy to feel overwhelmed and a bit hopeless.  When I was forced to postpone my upcoming safaris planned for this May and June to Tanzania and Botswana to next year, I must admit it was a pretty horrid feeling.
