Last year, The Safari Series pledged to ‘Declare A Climate Emergency’. This meant we signed up with 500 other members of the tourism industry to declare that we believe that the threat of climate chance is upon us and only if we act now can we prevent lifelong and catastrophic damage to our eco-systems. You can read our pledge here.

Ed has always had a love of birds and enjoys watching them from the comfort of the mess tent through his binoculars (another part of the birthday present!). This course offered him the chance to understand these beautiful creatures better and get a bit of practice spotting and identifying them.

While the camp is closed, we are not laying idle. The rains are beginning again, which is great as they are almost a month late now and had been causing much anguish, so we have been replanting a number of flowerbeds that had been eaten by dik-diks. Read more about what we have been up to.

During the last couple of months, we have been focusing a lot on training with the staff in order to maintain and improve our skills and staff presence around the camp. Our most recent training was on sustainability and climate change.
