While staying at Melote House in Lapalala Wilderness, we  were privileged to be present for a rhino notching and monitoring initiative. An experience that gave us rare insight into what thoughtful, modern conservation looks like on the ground.

We have just touched down at home after 7 weeks of travel and finally we have a moment to exhale and organise our thoughts. This pause is not to count milestones, but to reflect on the moments that shaped the year at Your Private Africa.
