Welcome to WildlifeDirect’s baraza!

Welcome to WildlifeDirect’s baraza!

One of the things about working here at WildlifeDirect is that it’s not your average run of the mill job. Donning a suit and tie for a daily work routine is as foreign a concept here as expecting eagles to glide pass your office window in London.

Arriving in Africa back in February, I’ve had amazing experiences, good and bad; done some extremely challenging work, and learned the value of caffeine as I sit at night, blurry eyed, over a keyboard with the generator chugging away in the background.

This is why the baraza has been started. It’s a place where we can share with you what goes on behind the scenes to make WildlifeDirect work, to share in conversations that interest us, and let you get to know a little more about the human side of WildlifeDirect.

Hey Jonathan,
Well done for getting this up and going! Am sitting below the Ruwenzori and struggling with every minute of the internet connection!! But it’s beautiful here…

Hey Sheryl!
Thats us going to the office in Nairobi, experiencing the local transport.
You soon learn matatu’s come in varying conditions from the door dropping rust buckets, to the flamboyant ones with DVD’s playing, surround sound and neon disco lights. I prefer the latter.
And… in case you were wondering… behind the camera is our very own Virgina, who was passing thru on her way to Mutsora, DR Congo.
