Dear Sir/Madam.                                                                      

SITUATIONAL REPORT/ FLOODS: MOREMI GAME RESERVE

This communiqué serves to address the above mentioned subject. Our office would like to inform you that since recent rains Moremi Game Reserve have been experiencing floods. This had left most of our routes not accessible notably South Gate-3rd Bridge, South Gate –North Gate, Xakanaxa – Khwai, Xakanaxa- 3rd Bridge (3rd bridge is not in use).

Places like Black pools, Hippo Pools, Paradise Pools, Dead Tree Island, Khwai lagoon and Xini lagoon is not accessible at the moment. In essence, of all our main routes where game drives are carried out are NOT accessible. We are therefore pleading we you as our stakeholders to advise your clients accordingly to avoid serious repercussions for example clients spending nights under undesirable conditions because their vehicles have been stacked hence more complain from our clients. As a matter of fact, the matter have been handed to upper office to make same introspection over it and any development that might surface would be communicated to you in due cause.
 
We are very pleased with your profound and robust cooperation hence our advance appreciation.

Mr. M.S Mokara/for Park Manager (Moremi Game Reserve)

Bushtracks Zambia: new lion and rhino safari in Livingstone

#BushtracksZambia #VictoriaFalls #WildlifeEncounter

BUSHTRACKS AFRICA IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF THEIR NEW LION AND RHINO SAFARI IN LIVINGSTONE, ZAMBIA

Lion and Rhino Safari

Lions once ruled from the southern tip of Africa all the way to North-western India. We now run the risk of wild lions becoming extint by 2020.

A world without this symbol of strength and power that has been intertwined in human history and culture since the dawn of mankind.

A savannah ecosystem without this key stone species cannot survive in their absence.

What implications would this have on an economy that thrives on tourism. Where would it be without the Lion to draw such a captive market?

We need Lions, and at present we have less than 20,000 of them left on the planet. It is time for a human intervention. We have created the problem and now it is up to us to solve this crisis.

Our effort to save these iconic animals requires time and resources. This is why Bushtracks Africa, in conjunction with Wildlife Encounter, have created a safari package tailored around a conservation effort to reintroduce prides of Lions into the wild. Join us on one of our safaris and you will be contributing to the continued survival of Africa's Lions.

Wildlife Encounter is an active conservation program that is dedicated to ensuring a secure future for this magnificent species. It is also Africa's first program to ethically introduce the offspring of captive-bred African lions into the wild.

Wildlife Encounter is partnered with ALERT, the African Lion and Environmental Research Trust, a conservation and community NGO that is dedicated to the future of Africa’s wildlife and people.

LIONS

Wildlife encounter operates on the Zambian side of the majestic Victoria Falls, within the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and Dambwa forest in Zambia.

Guests will be collected from their respective lodgings or pick-up points and transported the short distance to the Dambwa Conservancy.

Within a specially created 707 acre reserve live a pride of 12 lions. The 6 adults were captive raised, but the 6 cubs were born in the release site and have had no human contact. It is these cubs, when old enough, that will be released into the wild to help address the 80-90% decline in African lions that this Continent has experienced since 1975. The release programme is operated in partnership with the African Lion & Environmental Research Trust (ALERT) whose goal is to ensure viable populations remain a part of Africa through an integrated conservation and community effort or; "responsible development". This approach ensures that the rural communities surrounding the Conservancy benefit from the lions’ presence and are therefore proud to host this amazing species.

During your visit, our experienced guides will introduce you to the pride's members, give you information about the release programme and our broader efforts in lion conservation, as well as the work we are undertaking with our communities. You will also join ALERT’s research team who are studying the behaviour of these lions in great detail. From this you will gain a fascinating understanding of the inner workings of a lion pride.

We will stop off at our Forest Boma for breakfast (morning) or snacks (afternoon), where you can also see the tree nursery – part of our forest regeneration project. Merchandise and locally produced crafts are available to purchase in support of the local communities.

RHINOS

Continuing on a drive through the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park will ensure visitors have a rare opportunity to leave the vehicle behind for a short walk under the guidance of professionally trained rangers to see the White Rhino - close up.

Here visitors will be given a talk on the history of this species in the Park, the threats to the species, the protection they require, and the conservation strategies to ensure this species’ remains a permanent presence within this area.

Minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 18 people for each session.

Namibia: Sossus Dune Lodge Excavation Work | Соссус Лодж Намибия

Notice: Sossus Dune Lodge Excavation Work

Windhoek, 1 February 2017 – Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) would like to inform you that we have begun drilling (breaking of rocks) and digging out sand and rocks with heavy machinery at Sossus Dune Lodge (SDL). The aim of the project is to construct a new sewer reticulation network and sewer treatment plant. 

Be warned that:

1. If prevailing winds are experienced at SDL, we expect to have a dusty situation.

2. There will be noise because of the drilling, excavation and truck movements.

3. The movement of heavy machinery might be an eyesore to guests.

The duration of the excavation works may take 2 months or longer as it depends on the hardness of the rocks.

Under One Botswana Sky: new camp Rra Dinare

#UnderOneBotswanaSky #RraDinare #Botswana #GomotiRiver

Under One Botswana Sky announces June opening for new camp Rra Dinare
- Setswana for Father of many Buffalo - 

Under One Botswana Sky's new private concession is frequented by lion, wild dog and is a favoured area for tenacious old buffalo “dagga” boys and bachelor buffalo herds which often make for exciting predator interaction. Known for its rich and diverse wildlife, the area borders the world-renowned Moremi Game Reserve on the south eastern side of the Okavango Delta.
Two new tented camps will be set in this exclusive and game-rich area of 27,700 hectares (67,000 acres)  of mixed habitat comprising the Gomoti River and its channels, lush riverine forests, scenic big open flood plains interspersed with clusters of palm-treed islands and Acacia and Mopane woodlands. The two camp locations and views are spectacular, especially with the classic flooding of the Okavango across the seasonal floodplains.
The first camp, Rra Dinare (Setswana for Father of many Buffalo), opening in June, will be a classic 8-tented camp overlooking the Gomoti River floodplains. The second camp is due to open in August/September and will be a 9-tented camp set on the banks of the Gomoti River. Both camps will have swimming pools, curio shops and family tents. A feature of the incredibly spacious tents is the private lounge area with a secluded veranda. The tent size is 60 square metres excluding outdoor veranda (varying in size but approx. 15 - 25 square metres). Both camps will be common-rated with Pom Pom Camp.

Namibia: new Spitzkoppe Lodge | Шпицкоппе Лодж Намибия

#ШпицкоппеЛоджНамибия #SpitzkoppeLodge #Usakos #Swakopmund

Spitzkoppe Lodge - new establishment in Namibia
                               
The lodge consists of 15 individual chalets positioned and nestled on the north western side of spectacular Spitzkoppe granite inselbergs rising from the proto-Namib plains with an eastern view.

The main complex with lounge and dining facilities have a north western view onto the Brandberg.

The development and operations are integrated with nature and the environmental impact of the infrastructure and activities reduced to lowest possible levels.

Limited use of concrete with elevated floors and decks and composite materials for walls which can be dismantled easily will enable nature to restore itself in just a few months after deconstruction. Sensitivity towards wildlife and heritage is paramount in all we do.

Each of the spacious Chalets with en-suite bathrooms has a private veranda which connects the guest with the vast stretches of untouched sand and boulders beyond.

The stretched roofs reflect the ambience of a tented camp and will compliment the rounded and pitched formation of the granite mountain.                               
There is one “family unit” which consists of two chalets positioned in close proximity of each other.

The main complex: a lounge, dining area and bar, which leads to a sundowner deck overlooking a small swimming pool.

Spitzkoppe Lodge is benefitting the people living in the #Gaingu Conservancy, as they earn a substantial amount of the gross turnover paid on a quarterly basis.

There is a drive to become a highly sustainable and responsible tourism facility in a desert environment.                               
The development and maintenance cost herefore determine the accommodation rate, which is kept as low as possible and within reach of the current tourism market.
