Africa in a Tent - Our new camps

Khwai Tented Camp, located near the Northern border of Moremi, situated on the Khwai River is an amazing location and has access to both Moremi and the game rich area of Khwai. Please contact us for our Camp opening specials valid until 31st May 2009. This camp is opened all year round and offers some of the most spectacular game experiences throughout the whole year. 4x4 Self drives into the camp are welcome.

We have had to change the name of our new Linyanti Tented Camp to Saile Tented Camp to avoid confusion with an old camp in the area. Please make a note of this name change when requesting availability. Saile Tented Camp is currently a seasonal camp and will be re-opened in May. Please note that a private tented camp is available in the green season on special request on an exclusive basis (minimum 6 people).

Green Season's Grand Entrance

As always, our green season gives clients an opportunity to forget their busy lives and immerse themselves in unique sights, smells and sounds of the African bush. The rains have already made a majestic appearance this year with Impala already having their little calves and Wildebeest doing the same. The recordings so far seem higher than last year's rainfall recordings.

The Hwange National Park has undergone a remarkable transformation and Somalisa is now embedded in a place of many shades of green. Although we are already in the green season, extremely good sightings are still being recorded around Somalisa, and are most vividly described by our guests themselves who wrote:

"We saw three wild dogs being chased from the pan by a big Bull elephant. Two buffalo were killed on the same night about 20 meters away from the pan by two female lion. These same two female lion had a little rumble and tumble and chased off a big male lion the following night... they were protecting their cubs... the females were batting him with their paws etc right next to the guest toilet by the main area." –November 2008

"The male lion has been in and out of the camp and we hear him every night..." – November 2008

"We have had sable at the pan, a big herd of 60 buffalo this morning also at the pan along with Zebra, a crowned crane and many other birds" - November the 17th

The Chobe Enclave on which our Linyanti Bush Camp is located has also received refreshing rains. This is quite a relief as the whole of Southern Africa, mainly Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and Namibia experienced severe field fires this last October. A number of measures initiated by the Camps managers and National park officials have always been in place to contain these natural fires.

Six - Nights Special in 2008, 9 and beyond!

In our last newsletter, we introduced to you our six night special. Incase you missed it; this special allows you to enjoy an additional 5% override on all bookings that you make with us which are for six nights or more. These six nights may be made up of any combination of our Camps. We have extended our special until the end of 2009 to allow you all to become a part of this exciting special offer.

World Recession - Let's share the crunch

It is no secret now that the world is going through an economic crisis judged as the harshest since the end of World War II. Safari enthusiasts will no doubt slow down on their travel around the world in the coming months. We invite you to explore all of our specials and promotions which make Africa more affordable; we have extended the six night's special until the end of 2009 (book 6 nights of more within African Bush Camps, get 5% discount). Our rates for Linyanti Bush Camps will have not increased for 2009.

Season's greetings

Holidays are the best time for us as we have yet another excuse to thank you again for all for the business and support in 2008. We thank you for being a part of African Bush Camps continuous growth. We look forward to a brand new year in which we will establish new relationships and nurture those that are already in place. Best Wishes!
