The boy, Ayub Ahmed, was rescued from Tsavo East National Park and has been receiving life-changing deals following his viral survival story.

The minor, who survived in the Tsavo wilderness for six days feasting on amarula seeds-like pods and drinking rainwater, received a generous offer to support his education.

However, his footprints enabled Hartley to organise a rescue mission which was successful after six days of searching.

"He was crouching down and shying away, he started to walk one way and then back the other way. He was very weak and stumbling as he walked," Hartley stated.

"The boy was covered in mosquito bites and scratches from the bristling thorn bushes. His feet were blistered and riddled with thorns and cuts," he added.
