Welcome to our first edition for the year 2022.

The year 2021 was a momentous one, the highlight being the world coming out of the covid pandemic and the easing of travel restrictions. At PawsTrails, one of our cherished dreams came true with the opening of the Mara Trails lodge. We finally have our very own lodge in the Maasai Mara, a place we wish to utilize for bringing people closer to nature and to help the local communities who are the actual guardians of the wildlife.

But the year 2021 was not all about achievements, it was another year that showed us the demons that come with the reality of climate change. Wildfires across California and Europe served as a rude reminder that climate change is real and that we are already late to act. To make matters worse, when we thought the worst of the covid pandemic was over, we now appear to be staring at the start of another wave.

We urge the global PawsTrails community to renew your pledge for the betterment of mother earth. Let the change start with you. Reuse and recycle, use sustainably made products, reduce your carbon footprint, avoid single-use plastics – please make the change happen. Let us be positive forces in the war against climate change, let us fight together…
