WHAT ELSE TO EXPECT ON TEAM SAYARI' As per TshisaLive, the CEO of Wildlife Direct, Dr Paula Kahumbu, said the new National Geographic series is a first in many ways.

African children and experts presenting the continent's wealth of biodiversity treasures has never been seen before.

Our child trail blazers reporting from different parts of Africa bring the continent together to work on solutions to the challenges that threaten our wildlife. The power of the series lies in the voices of African children calling each other to action.
