Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Dos and don'ts for your safari - compiled by Paul Goldstein of Exodus for the latest `Bridge the World' newsletter (free by calling 0171- 911 0900).
Don't patronise the people of the bush - their civilisation is older than yours. Make a genuine effort to learn their customs.
Do wear cotton and take a woollen sweater - man-made fibres are as unhealthy as man-eating lions in the tropics.
Don't wear sweaty trainers without socks, or you can expect them to receive a sacrificial burning.
Do beware the local brews - they win on price but lose the morning after.
Do take more than enough film and spare batteries. Game reserves are well stocked with animals but not Fuji Provia and lithium CR5M6Vs.
Don't know better than your guides. If they say that log is a crocodile, believe them.
