I live and work in a national park situated in the heart of Africa. The park is immense and teeming with wildlife. Our organisation seeks to protect the park from poaching as we are located in a remote area. Apart from protecting the park, we also rehabilitate the park's ecosystem. I feel a sense of satisfaction working for a noble cause.
I have decided to share with you how I live in the park, the beauty of the place and its challenges.
This morning, I woke up to a stunning view. The birds were singing. I prepared a cup of tea and walked outside in nature. Thousands of leaves were scattered on the ground. It's a sign that the dry season is approaching fast.
What would like to know about living in a park? I will be glad to share my experience.

Tourism is inexistent for the moment in this park as it's a park that was invaded with poachers for quite a long time and since our organisation took over, we are tightening the security and we have reduced poaching to almost nothing. For tourism to thrive, it will take a couple of more years as there's a whole lot of work to be done in this direction: from building roads to developing guides.

@excellence7 I am so glad you worked to reduce poaching. You will be fine until tourists do not invade your territory.

I like a post or discussion on a day in the life of a national park employee. Working at national parks is actually one of my dream jobs, but life has taken me in a different direction and I have to make the best of what was handed and dealt to me. So now, I only live vicariously through people like you or other YouTubers (although there's only very few of them) who video their day to day.

I will surely share more posts on my life in the park. I am from Mauritius but I work as an expatriate in the African continent.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, it is indeed amazing here. I am trying to add the photo but it's not uploading. I will try again. I work from Monday to Friday, from 07:30 to 15:30. We are free on weekends. About salary, unfortunately I cannot disclose this as this is confidential. We do have stressful moments of work but the environment is so calm, that a walk in nature can make you forget everything.
