About this blog

So, after years of hard graft I have finally managed to persuade a few lovely people to send me to Africa and look at animals for a few years. And who said my degree would never amount to anything? It's a dream come true!

What you will see is my personal story of what it is like to be a solo female wildlife researcher in southern Africa. I can't wait - can you?
