A privilege to catch sight of a leopard- this big male was remarkably chilled in the early morning light over Grumeti Reserve this morning. Huge thanks to the amazing @grumetifund team for hosting & showing me their impressive conservation & community in the Serengeti. @tusk_org

Thank you @SafaricomPLC for your enduring partnership with @tusk_org & @LewaConservancy and helping to make the 25th #lewasafarimarathon such a success! So grateful to all our sponsors for making it possible.
The 2025 edition of the @LewaSafMarathon marked yet another milestone in a journey we’ve proudly walked for 25 years. This year’s event attracted over 1,400 participants, a true reflection of the growing legacy and impact of this iconic race. We welcomed our colleagues from @SafaricomET, who also participated in the race, strengthening the spirit of connection across borders. We remain committed to the heartbeat of the Lewa Safari Marathon, championing conservation, community, and connectivity in the Lewa landscape. We thank all participants and partners who made this year’s event a success. We appreciate the @LewaConservancy and @tusk_org for putting together such an amazing race. Shout out to all the runners for showing up and conquering one of the world’s toughest marathons. #LewaSafariMarathon
