You are passionate about captive lion conservation, tell us more…
I want to educate people that don’t realise the full extent of lions being bred for different consumptive purposes. When visitors come to South Africa to pet a lion cub or take a selfie with one, ultimately those lions grow up and face the risk of getting shot by canned hunting (in a controlled environment) and also by trophy hunters and potentially their bones get shipped to SE Asia to use in traditional Chinese medicine. These activities are widespread but should not be happening.

What does travel mean to you?
Travel is all about getting out and about to places you ultimately wouldn’t have travelled to before. I personally love going to places where there aren’t people - which I know is getting rarer and rarer, but that would be first on my list.
What are your top 5 travel items?
Camera - My Go Pro which I don’t leave home without! Cell phone - So I can keep up with social media. Battery bank with foldaway solar panel - so I can always be connected. Shirt - My favourite, a NosiLife Adventure shirt. Trousers - My NosiLife Convertible trousers which are very versatile as they convert into shorts.

Adding the treatment to the manufacturing state helps lock in the chemicals and improves the life of the treatment.
