Unusual sighting

The floodplains of the Simalaha Community Conservancy are flooded for six months every year. And with this rush of water comes the beautiful bloom of the water lilies. It makes a wonderful backdrop to the Sable Team’s usual patrol activities. Gerald Mutondo, Careen Nyambe and Mutinta Malumo are part of the Sable Team in Simalaha, tasked with keeping a close eye on animals living in the sanctuary. They look out for snakes, keep count of the number of animals they spot and investigate any signs of stress in wildlife.
