"Let's be honest about something. Most marathons are forgettable. You train for months, you show up to a city you have probably visited before, you run through streets lined with strangers holding signs, you collect your medal, you fly home. The medal goes in a drawer. The memory fades within a year. The Rwenzori Marathon is not that race."

World Lion Day: A Roar for Conservation
Today, August 10th, is World Lion Day. A day dedicated to shining a spotlight on the king of the jungle and the critical importance of protecting its dwindling population.
Once roaming vast expanses across Africa and Asia, lions now face a perilous future. Habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and the insatiable demand for their body parts have pushed these magnificent creatures to the brink.
At Pilama Safaris, we believe that experiencing the raw beauty of the African bush is essential to fostering a deep-rooted respect for its inhabitants. Witnessing lions in their natural habitat can ignite a passion for conservation that extends far beyond the safari.
