All too often African safaris gloss over the nitty-gritty of conservation. That’s not the case with this trip by Wilderness Safaris, though, which is designed to give travelers an in-depth appreciation for the plight of the lion.

Developed in partnership with Panthera, a specialist in big cat conservation, the week-long safari in Zambia allows travelers to get up close and personal with lions while learning about the ways in which humans can better protect the species. As an added sweetener, all proceeds from the trip go directly toward supporting vital lion conservation efforts in the East African country. The one-off trip will take place September 26 to October 2 and is limited to just 12 guests.

Michel Sandoval has never celebrated Thanksgiving before, but Thursday evening she knows exactly what she’ll be giving thanks for — family, good health and all the people who helped her and her partner, Luis Alfonso, in their long journey from Venezuela.

That list includes the family in Mexico that put her and Luis up for a month last spring and Ruth Lamour, an Austin resident who has been hosting Sandoval and other migrants in her house and will be hosting their first…

A post on Twitter, now known as X, that has been shared more than 800 times says: “Is anybody aware that every year when [Notting Hill carnival] is on the HOME OWNERS of Kensington & Chelsea borough are given £3k per household to go away for the weekend because of the “inconvenience” carnival brings them. Ever since I found out I’ve been flabbergasted.”

This council told us this is not the case.

There is a scheme run by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in collaboration with Age UK, in which older residents on the carnival route can apply to go on a free seaside break.

Thursday featured the odd occurrence of two vice presidents, one past and one present, in Poland amid Russia’s devastating invasion of Ukraine.

Former Vice President Mike Pence traveled to Poland along with former first lady Karen Pence to meet with refugees, just as Vice President Kamala Harris was announcing the latest details of U.S. security aide. 

The dueling events put Pence closest to the border, encountering refugees bundled up against the cold outside after leaving their country behind amid Russia’s brutal invasion.

Harris met with world leaders and answered questions from the press, while hosting a select group of refugees at a roundtable. 

Pence came with minister Edward Graham of Samaritan’s Purse, an evangelical relief group.

Pence tweeted that the former second couple were…
