Visiting Marrakesh During Ramadan

𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗻 You have stepped into the old world, into a time that has long-ago passed; wandering through ancient lands. Lost in a labyrinth that would take a lifetime to learn to navigate. Beams of soft light illuminate the complex maze of narrow alleyways, the clinking of metal crafting intricate designs, the ever-present smoky smell of leather, decorative carpets giving texture to every surface. Wares in spectrums of colours and in darker passages, hundreds of floating lamps creating shapely shadows. It’s an overwhelming feast for the senses. It happens, as the sun moves, in stereo, amplified crackling microphones and hypnotic voices begin to fill the air from all directions. The already fast-paced heartbeat suddenly shifts into chaos within seconds. The overflowing pathways soon resemble a swarm of bees. Groups of hooded cloaks move swiftly and with purpose through the crowds. The screeching and frantic honking of scooters weaving through bodies of people. Overloaded bicycles pedalling at breakneck speeds. You have found yourself right in the middle of a race, one you were unaware was taking place. And the only way you could truly understand the incredible urgency would be for you to fully immerse yourself by observing Ramadan Fasting takes dedication; it creates gratitude for things we take for granted; it’s healing to the body and soul. As quickly as the rush began, just as immediate the momentum comes to a halt. And a culture that functions on movement and interaction falls into a quiet peacefulness. Families, friends, neighbours, strangers, they all gather together. They forget about the pressures of life and choose to rather focus on what is most important: community, mindfulness and nourishment.

An intentionally out-of-tune guitar, drums blasting at a frequency louder than human ears are capable of hearing and a bass player screaming at the sound engineer Joe and I met in a grunge bar in Cape Town. Hours passed while we connected over a shared curiosity for history, a love of ’90s music and a deep desire to travel. I’m from the desert, a place filled with sand that glistens in the sun and dunes that flow like waves in the vastness of space. Joe is west coast, the vibrant mother city nestled between towering mountain tops and the aquamarine waters of the Atlantic. Both of us were born and raised in Africa, a fate that I still perceive as a privilege! Because of its mere size and nature, every family holiday in Africa inevitably becomes a long road trip, an unexpected expedition rather than a vacation, and often the most challenging route is the only route. These early experiences in travel gave us a need for adventure, a constant search for the road less travelled, and it certainly taught us how to integrate into novel environments. We hope to amuse you with our stories, impart some solid advice for your journeys and maybe even motivate you to change the way you choose to travel 🧳 #travel #adventure #adventure #explore #capetown

Celebrating World Ranger Day

In honour of World Ranger Day, we're celebrating the frontline defenders of Kenya's wildlife and the habitats they call home. Working in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service, our 29 SWT/KWS Anti-Poaching Teams and Canin Unit tackle the greatest threats to conservation, secure wild spaces, and support critical field operations. Here's a glimpse into the demanding work our rangers do every single day. Rain or shine, night or day, they lace up their boots and head out to patrol the most remote corners of Kenya and protect the animals who call them home, and apprehend the people who would do them harm. Since our first team hit the ground in 1999, our rangers have logged more than 3.7 million kilometres on patrol, on foot and by car — each step taken and every kilometre covered on a mission of wildlife conservation. — Donors like you make this vital work possible. Learn more about our Anti-Poaching Teams and support our rangers through a donation in honour of #WorldRangerDay: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates/world-ranger-day-2025
