Dear {{name}}
In this time, where many facets of the world are changing, we too as a people need to change and better adapt to the challenges but also opportunities that these changes come with. As we all brace ourselves to what is
evidently a challenging year ahead of us, it is important to recognise the need to continue supporting the very
people that exists around the last remaining wilderness areas of the world and at the same time, come up with
initiatives that will contribute to environmental support and responsible travel. Over the next few weeks, we
will be finalising our conservation and community programmes through our non-profit organisation Uthando Africa (to have a heart for Africa) which will be launched soon.
In the mean time, a safari in remote Africa is a great escape in these times to recharge and revive ourselves.
There has never been a better time for you to make this great escape to South Africa and Namibia where the South African Rand has weakened and presents you with in-expensive holidays, Botswana that is offering almost free
safaris; and finally Zimbabwe that has remained affordable as its safari camps and wild parks start to spring
back to the market place with enticing promotions and introductory offers.
In this newsletter we feature the following:
- Khwai Tented Camp - a wildlife paradise embracing cultural tourism
- Photographic Safari Journey with Professional Photographer Eric Gauss
- Somalisa Camp - Safari of a lifetime by Belinda Hounsell
- Botswana Free Wings Lives on

Khwai Tented Camp continues to be one of Botswana's prime wildlife destinations offering one of the best community based wildlife areas as well as close proximity to the great Moremi Game Reserve. It is having the best of both worlds where one can explore the Moremi Game Reserve and still retreat to the community area for walking excursions and night drives. The unique experience of Khwai Tented Camp offers visitors to Africa some of the best wildlife encounters but uniquely provides a glimpse into the genuine African rural village. The harmony of genuine co-habitation between wildlife and people is truly experiencing Africa to its fullest. Join us at this magnificent location on the banks of the Khwai River and enjoy our Botswana Free Wing Special and discounts by extending your stay with a trip to any one of our camps, Linyanti Bush Camp and Saile Tented Camp in the Chobe Enclave or Somalisa in Hwange National Park.

Somalisa Camp
A Visit to Somalisa Camp was a journey of a lifetime for one of
our guests who spent some time just before Christmas at the camp with her family and had much to say about
the camp including a detailed photographic collage.
Our whole family recently stayed at Somalisa, just before Christmas, last
year. This was the first time for us to visit your camp and my two
children, husband and I had an unbelievable experience there. Both of my
kids have put it on the top of their list as a place that they would like to
re visit in the future. We had the most wonderful guides, Alfie & his team
were awesome, and although it was in the height of the rainy season, we had
very good game viewing. Read More...
