passion for wildlife conservation in Africa which has spanned decades. She
spent years living in the bush rehabilitating birds of prey and working
closely with Sir Iain Douglas-Hamilton as a Donor Relations Officer at Save
the Elephants. Carter became one of the first licensed female safari guides
with the Kenya Safari Guide Association. She has a long-standing love affair
with the African continent, and now leads the Safari programme for the
