Namibia: Ongava - World Rhino Day plea

Ongava Game Reserve - a black rhino in Etosha National Park

With the uptick in rhino poaching earlier this year the Etosha National Park authorities approached WWF Namibia to assist with raising emergency donations to bolster their wildlife protection initiatives. In turn, WWF Namibia asked Ongava to help spread the message: we'll appreciate if you can you help pass on this urgent plea Save the iconic black rhino to your audience before World Rhino Day.

How you can help

WWF is trying to raise US$250,000 by World Rhino Day—September 22—to fund an emergency response. We’re working closely with the Namibian government and other partners to put in place an urgent antipoaching plan in Etosha National Park. This includes training a sniffer dog unit to track poachers, building housing for elite rangers (known as the Wildlife Protection Service), and creating a horse patrol unit to help rangers monitor the park’s remote areas. We need your help to make it happen. 

Will you join us in protecting critically endangered black rhinos before it’s too late?

You can help save rhinos today by making a donation to our emergency antipoaching campaign. 100% of your donation will go directly to fund antipoaching efforts in Namibia, and every dollar will be matched by an anonymous donor (up to $250,000).

NATURE FIRST 30

We’re equally as excited and energised as we were back in 1993 to continue providing the circumstances for nature to thrive and prosper for the next 30 years. And the 30 that follow. And so on, ad infinitum. With thanks to your support. Nature First.

Отзыв: Истерика в стоматологической поликлинике Переславской центральной районной больницы!

Стоматологическая поликлиника Переславской центральной районной больницы - истерика в регистратуре!

Заехал в данное заведение 11 августа 2023 по одной причине: несколько лет назад стоматолог Зайцев поставил пломбу, которая стоит до сих пор, не отказался бы снова вылечить у него еще один зуб. Увы, онлайн запись отсутствует - все забронировано на годы и века вперед. В регистратуре данного заведения обитает истероидное существо, начинающее биться в припадке падучей, как только ей задается более одного вопроса по наличию записи к стоматологам. Прошу руководство прибегнуть к помощи опытных специалистов-психиатров для помощи страдающему созданию. Две звезды - явный перебор, но только из-за Зайцева, а так уверенные минус пять баллов.

SKY-LUXE TENT

Built beneath a thatched canopy that keeps the tent cool, these luxury tents are secluded from each other to ensure privacy, peace and quiet. The san-dwellings inspired sky bed provide stunning panoramic views of the Kalahari.

KALAHARI CLASSIC FAMILY TENT

The Kalahari Classic Family Tent comprises of two Luxury Tents situated on an inter-leading deck. Only one in number, our family tent provides exclusivity, privacy, and space for the family.

The Kalahari Desert, located in the interior plateau of Southern Africa, is a featureless, gently undulating, semi-arid sandy savannah. Although not technically a desert, it is devoid of surface water. A unique and highly varied ecosystem, it is one of the few relatively unexplored regions globally.

Namibia: EdenBerry Strawberry Farm & Upside Down House

The EdenBerry Strawberry Farm, formerly known as NaruXas, located just 60 km from Windhoek en-route to Rehoboth recently opened the first local, Upside Down House.

The house which is a new tourist attraction that was officially opened over the weekend, has all the furniture in the opposite direction of a typical building, which generates an “optical” illusion for its visitors.

The peculiar house is the brainchild of farm owners, Richard and Desery van Wyk and has attracted many social media influencers and visitors since its inauguration.

At the farm, visitors can enjoy the upside-down experience, as well as strawberry picking, picnicking, and many family activities.

“EdenBerry is the first in Namibia to offer this unique photo experience that defies gravity by walking or dancing on the ceiling. The ideas came to us during our devotional time and because God is sovereign of an upside-down kingdom, the ground rules of which are different from the ground rules by which you and I are inclined to function, our Upside Down House is a demonstration of that.

We want to help Namibians experience sweet happiness and see things on the flip side, and because our Christian faith is at the heart of everything we do at EdenBerry, the foundation of the Upside Down House is a cross. The building is more than just an upside-down house. It serves as our legacy to our children and grandchildren. Inside you will see special touches, that are reminiscent of our parents, grandparents, and children,” said Desery van Wyk, co-owner of EdenBerry Farm, at the official opening.

Visitors can touch anything within their reach including furniture on the ceiling to take the coolest surreal images to share with friends and family or online. The Upside Down House can accommodate 10 people at a time and takes 20 – 30 minutes to tour.

Children and adults of all ages can visit the Upside Down House while at EdenBerry Strawberry Farm which is open daily from 09:00 until 14:00, and entrance is N$100 per person.
