Like searching for diamonds amongst coal, finding a pangolin in the African bush is nothing short of extraordinary, as are they. A once-in-a-lifetime sighting for most, these quirky, scaled, ant-eaters epitomise the necessity for conservation. They remain one of the least studied and most trafficked animals across the globe, making it no less than an absolute privilege (and delight) to be in their presence. With every bi-pedal step an individual under the watchful eye of onlookers takes, a critical piece of an unknown puzzle is systematically added to a slowly-evolving bigger picture of what makes these compelling critters so special.
Explore the unique world of Phinda’s pangolins with &Beyond, where luxury meets conservation. Witness these elusive creatures firsthand on guided pangolin tracking adventures. Contribute to pangolin conservation efforts through responsible tourism and support our mission to protect these enigmatic animals. Experience the thrill of rare pangolin sightings and create unforgettable memories.
Filmmaker Will Clothier worked with the Phinda habitat team as a volunteer during which time he was tasked with caring for a tiny little rescued pangolin called Ramfy. On return to Phinda some time later, the narrative of this happy little story took a turn for the dramatic. But there is always hope when we give nature a chance.
Nature Through a New Lens (On the Edge) is a collaboration with Wildscreen that showcases a new wave of filmmakers bringing their wildly unique approach to conservation stories.
