Safari adventures in Botswana

Diego Delso Around the size of France and with a population of just under 2½ million, the largely flat-savannah Land of the Tswana is one of Africa’s premier wildlife destinations (and parenthetically, diamond producers): big game and only lightly touristed, with a “fewer people, more animals” tourism philosophy. I have fond memories of visiting its reknowned Okavango Delta on safari many years ago, but there are other aspects to the country very much noting as well: read post

Kariega Game Reserve: a South African recovery story

    It took us three days to drive from Cape Town along South Africa’s "Garden Route" to Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, but it was well worth the drive. Once it was 27 farms, which have all been returned to the wild, and the reserve now covers 115 square kilometers (44½ sq. miles), owned and operated by two of those original farming families. A fictional British TV series, Wild at Heart, which ran from 2006 to 2012, told about much the same thing. The animals at Kariega were…

    *An African safari is an option!
  • Hi there maybe u can consider adding www.eco-tur.com to the general info sites: :-) cheers Paul
  • Good timing. Thnx for the heads up, tripatini. Answers some of my questions.
  • What unusual is going on with the annual wildebeest migration between Kenya's Masaai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti? Find out in a recent post on the Tripatini blog.
  • Friend just called and we were talking outdoors. Told me a strange thing: this year the wildebeast migration was cut short. Instead of staying in the Masai Mara for three months, they're turning back to the Serengetti. Anyone know anything about this and why it's happening?
  • This would be a travesty. Humans are the most dangerous species on the planet - look how many we have killed off. Have there at least been studies done on how this would impact these animals? Having just recently seen this for myself in Kenya I was so thankful that there is still one place like this left on earth. It will be a sad day for the entire planet when that is gone.
  • Edward Lowassa, a former p.m. of Tanzania who's running for re-election, seems to want a "showdown with environmental and conservation groups" over the proposed road through the Serengeti.

    According to eturbonews.com, "He vowed to team up with supporters of the road project to make sure the road was constructed irrespective of its impact on the migration patterns of the big wildebeest and zebra herds."

    Is he crazy, or are we environmentalists too quick to root for animals rather than humans?
  • Actually I have. I will do so again.
  • We appreciate your interest and enthusiasm. Have you visited our FAQ page http://luxurytravelreview.com/faq/?
  • I'd love to write about it for you Elena - please contact me if you are at all interested. I also spent a week in Wales and 24 hours in London!
