Wildlife ACT meets Kingsley Holgate in KZN

Wildlife ACT’s Mkhuze conservation volunteers were out early one morning monitoring the Wild Dogs when a vehicle parked next to us. The person inside rolled down their window and asked us what we were up to. To my amazement… it was Kingsley Holgate. 

Kingsley and his crew had come to Mkhuze Game Reserve (South Africa) to photograph its rhinos. The photos will be used to educate the local children he would come across on his latest expedition. After sitting with us for a bit, he asked us where they had a good chance of finding some rhino.

The following day, the volunteers and I met up with him in Mkuze town. It’s was a real honor meeting Kingsley. He has given so much back to Africa as a humanitarian and as a wildlife conservationist.

With organizations such as Wildlife ACT defending endangered species and people like Kingsley Holgate using his name to create awareness – then we can only move forward in conservation.
