Central African Republic Update: Sangha Lodge Re-opening

Posted on by

Dzanga Sangha and Sangha Lodge; Re-opening 1 July 2014

We are pleased to report that Sangha Lodge is back in business and ready to welcome adventurous travellers to our forest paradise.

Although there is still unrest in some of Central African Republic, the Sangha Mbaere province (where we are) is realtively quiet and the general feeling on the ground is that the local population want everything to return to normal routine life.

Tourism is one of the main industries in our Sangha Mbaere province, so any traveller willing to venture our way will be a great moral builder and bring life back into our little corner of paradise.

Botswana: Introducing the new Zarafa Dhow Suites

Posted on by

Zarafa Dhow Suites - Selinda Reserve - Botswana Luxury Safari Camp

PRESS RELEASE:
ZARAFA DHOW SUITES OPENS ITS GRAND DOORS…

After much anticipation the Zarafa Dhow Suites opened its Zanzibari doors in May, in Botswana’s 320,000 acre Selinda Reserve. The villa concept of the Dhow Suites was so coveted that its opening season already has limited availability, purely through word-of-mouth and the reputation of its award-winning neighbour, Zarafa Camp.
Constructed entirely under canvas, as one of the largest tents ever built in Africa, its spacious 210 square metre (2,260 sq ft) design encapsulates all the romance and intimacy of the main Zarafa Camp, but with the added exclusivity of a private vehicle and guide, chef, manager, and entrance.

“We don’t love the word luxury, but it is private and exclusive and designed with the same vision and old world elegance as the main Zarafa Camp. But this is our ‘beloved suite,’ ideal for families or close friends”, says Dereck Joubert.

Photographic Safari in Botswana: 4 night Better Wildlife Safari

Posted on by

Better Wildlife Photography

A unique photographic experience on the Chobe River aimed at amateur and enthusiastic wildlife photographers who want to maximize their skills before setting off on safari. See wildlife through the eyes of a professional photographer on a 3 hour or full day photo safari on board a custom built photo boat or Unimog.

A 4 night Better Wildlife Safari is aimed at those who have a reasonable understanding of how a digital camera works but would like to benefit from more in-depth knowledge on how to take great wildlife shots.

Love: the abundance of wildlife and bird life that offer fantastic photo opportunities, expert tuition and the use of a state of the art camera and zoom lens.

How to book: in order to be in the park during optimum lighting conditions, departure times vary depending on the time of the year. The morning safari is an early one – usually at around 6am. The afternoon safari departs around 3pm and returns at sunset. Transfers from Livingstone and Victoria Falls can be arranged. The 4 night Better Wildlife Safari departs on the first Wednesday of the month.
