Remembering Giraffes: Looking Back on a Successful Partnership

At Pangolin Photo Safaris, we have a long-standing tradition of supporting initiatives that combine world-class photography with urgent conservation action. Following our support for Remembering Wildlife for the last 5 years, we were thrilled to join Margot Raggett’s groundbreaking series once again for its latest installment: Remembering Giraffes.

Often called the “forgotten giants” of Africa, giraffes have undergone what conservationists call a “silent extinction,” with populations plummeting by nearly 30% over the last few decades. The goal of Remembering Giraffes was to turn the global spotlight on these graceful mammals, raising both awareness and the vital funds needed to protect their future.

We were honored to contribute to the record-breaking success of the Remembering Giraffes campaign. Building on our previous involvement, we donated two solo safari stays to the cause—one featured as a premier reward on the Kickstarter platform and the other for the project's prestigious silent auction.

Each donation offered a single place on the Pangolin Chobe Hotel’s 7-day/6-night safari. These all-inclusive packages were designed to give the winning supporters a world-class experience, including:

• Full board accommodation (with no single supplement).
• Twice-daily photo activities on our custom boats and vehicles.
• Full use of cameras, lenses, and expert tuition from our resident photo hosts.

We are incredibly happy to report that these spots were snapped up by passionate wildlife lovers. Because 100% of the profits from these donations and book sales go directly to the frontline, our partnership helped provide a significant boost to giraffe conservation projects across the continent.
