He used to trap animals to kill them, now he’s trapping animals to save them. In this compelling series we follow trapper extraordinaire Darien Simpson in his quest to catch some of the most elusive big predators in Africa so that vital conservation work can be carried out. Darien’s personality is as big as the challenges he faces: to ensure the survival of these animals in the long term by catching them unharmed.
Trapper In Africa
In an ancient ritual performed by the Maasai people of Kenya, to prove their skills and courage, young men have to kill a wild lion. With lion numbers in dramatic decline, the Maasai elders have made a vital decision. To abolish the killing. It was one of their culture’s most defining traditions, but out of it the Maasai Olympics were born. Now, trophies of a different kind are taken home and they are regarded with the same importance and approval within the Maasai communities.
