Aneles Unique Eyesight Issue Wilderness 2021-11-02 | Anele has exceptionally light-pigment albinism, and her eyesight needs were too complicated for in-theatre assistance, let alone the Global Vision snap-on refraction strengths.

Soon afterwards Anton received this note from the headmaster of Anele's school: “Good morning, we have given Anele Tembo the sunglasses today in the morning. We really thank you and appreciate the help you are giving our learners. May the Lord be with you always.Thank you once again.Mr S Nyoni (Head Nechilibi)”

What’s in Brooke Bartleson’s Camera Bag? Wilderness 2021-09-22 | Olympus Explorer and Ambassador, Brooke Bartleson recently undertook her first-ever African safari, and we had the pleasure of hosting her in Botswana, at Vumbura Plains in the Okavango Delta, and DumaTau in the Linyanti Wildlife Reserve.What you will notice from her rundown of the equipment she brought is that there is no tripod. Olympus’ mirrorless equipment and the micro four-thirds sensor mean a smaller camera body (unlike DSLR). This is a huge benefit for wildlife photographers because the IS and sensor negate the need for heavy lenses and tripod equipment.MB01MY8XAFSSPQY

CITW FNBB Foundation MOU – Parakarungu PS Eco-Club Wilderness 2021-07-21 | Children in the Wilderness (CITW) Botswana and First National Bank Botswana (FNBB) Foundation have joined hands at Parakarungu Primary School to sensitise more than 200 children to sustainable environmental conservation through CITW Botswana’s programme. Through this 3-year partnership, the FNBB Foundation has committed a sum of BWP 762,000 toward the implementation of an environmental education, life skills and leadership development programme to be implemented by CITW Botswana.As part of the programme implementation, CITW Botswana will train interested or selected teachers at Parakarungu Primary School on the CITW Botswana-specific curriculum on Environmental Education (EE) to become EE Mentors. The trained teachers will then establish, run and manage an extracurricular Environmental Education Club (Eco-Club) in the school. Learners interested in environmental conservation will be given the opportunity to sign up, meet, learn, discuss and expand their knowledge of environmental issues through the extra-curricular Eco-Club’s activities in the school. The children participating in the Eco-Club will also be selected for participation in annual summer camps, which are 3-day summer camps held in Okavango Wilderness Safaris’ and partner camps during the December school break. During the camp the children participate in various wildlife activities including game drives, nature walks and other educational activities; they attend interactive workshops on environmental management and conservation, the geography and geology of the Okavango Delta area, culture, and the importance of wilderness areas to their communities and their country. Additionally, they learn life skills and values necessary to one day become great leaders and great conservationists. In addition to committing funds to the implementation of the programme, FNBB Foundation will present and avail its staff (including staff from its parent company, FNB) to participate in some of the programme activities, including the annual summer camps.

Saving Botswana’s Vultures with Wilderness Safaris Wilderness 2021-03-03 | Vultures are vital in maintaining ecosystem balance, and are the ultimate ‘clean-up crew’ helping limit the spread of diseases such as anthrax and rabies. But their numbers are plummeting globally. Vultures in Africa face an unprecedented period in time where they battle with many significant threats and consequently their numbers are dropping at unsustainable levels. Of the five vulture species in Botswana, all are either Critically Endangered or Endangered according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. If these population trends continue they are threatened with possible extinction, which will have dire consequences in healthy ecosystem functioning and food webs.During the last week of February 2021, Wilderness Safaris assisted Raptors Botswana, the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) and the Botswana Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) in doing vital work pertaining to vulture conservation in the region. The aim of this particular exercise was to fit satellite tracking devices on six different birds, and five devices were successfully fitted on three different vulture species. The fitting procedure was done quickly with no undue stress to the birds, which were all soaring high in the African skies in record time again.The movement data that will be collected frequently from these devices will go a long way in better understanding their use of space over ever-decreasing foraging ranges . For Wilderness Safaris, this was a wonderful collaborative effort with organisations sharing similar goals in conserving such a vital species in the dry woodland biome. To imagine African skies without majestic, soaring vultures would be heart breaking and an unthinkable outcome.

We have made significant progress and are determined to continue helping our most valued stakeholders, the communities. Thanks to the amazing donations of our guests, partners and Chairman’s Foundation, we have been able to commit to contributing USD10 000 to our community partners for the next three months”, notes Sue Goatley, Children in the Wilderness Zambezi Programme Coordinator.
