Grandma Joy and I are headed back to South Africa in October for our second Global Protagonists rhino conservation mission. There are still three spaces available if you’d like to join us for the adventure of a lifetime.
Dates: October 11-18.

On this mission, you will take part in the hands-on work required to secure that future – supporting rhino collaring and monitoring, helping embed the systems that underpin long-term protection, and contributing to the final steps that move this project from fragile to future-proofed.
If you want to step into conservation while it is still being shaped, rather than once the story is already written, this is that moment.
Participants are embedded directly into active rhino protection work during a critical phase of the project. In practice, this will include:
• Conducting live rhino collaring and veterinary operations
• Working alongside monitoring and response teams
• Contributing to tracking, data, and security systems
• Helping fund and deliver the final infrastructure that locks in long-term protection
This is not conservation tourism. This is an active field operation.
No prior wildlife experience is required – only humility, curiosity, and respect for the work.
