Making a Splash with Wilderness Safaris
With the rebirth of the Savute Channel, and greater inflows into the Linyanti River itself, the waterways of the Linyanti Concession area are now offering new fun ways to explore the wilderness. Wilderness Safaris makes it possible for your clients to take advantage of these water inflows, and will create unique combinations of activities like canoeing, walking and boating, depending on time of year and water levels, for their enjoyment.
At Savuti Camp, canoeing is proving to be an extremely popular activity when local water conditions allow. Boat activities provide excellent game viewing opportunities with elephant, giraffe, buffalo and hippo sighted frequently. There have even been sightings of lion and leopard and on one occasion to date, cheetah! Your clients can enjoy boat rides in the morning, at midday, or as an afternoon activity.
At Kings Pool Camp, a private barge is on hand to explore the Linyanti River. Late afternoon cruises are most popular, when the possibility of encountering animals coming to the river to drink is at its best. The barge is also able to be reserved (in advance) for special occasion activities.
Exploring Linyanti by water adds an unforgettable new dimension to your clients' safari experience with Wilderness Safaris. For more information, please visit www.wilderness-safaris.com or email marketingservices@wilderness.co.za

Seeing Clear with Great Plains Conservation and Swarovski Optik
Let your clients see the very best of Botswana! Great Plains Conservation and Swarovski Optik are proud to announce that the world famous optics company will be placing their latest “SLC 8 x 42 HD Field Binoculars” in all the Great Plains Conservation camps, starting immediately at Zarafa Camp in Botswana. Shortly thereafter, binoculars will be added in Great Plains Conservation’s remaining camps of Selinda and Duba Plains in Botswana.
“The binoculars are for our guests’ complimentary use during their safari with us. It’s an opportunity to enhance their game viewing experience and if they fall in love with the binoculars, sets will be available to purchase in camp. Five percent of the sale will go directly to the Big Cats Initiative, half of which is paid by Great Plains Conservation and the other half by Swarovski Optik,” said Dereck Joubert, CEO of Great Plains Conservation.
“We find that our guests are very interested in getting value for their money. They want the best for their safari and wilderness experience. So by adding the finest optics in the world in our camps, they can avoid the need to either buy their own before travelling, or having to lug their heavy binoculars all the way to Africa,” Dereck continued.
Both companies are delighted with the partnership. This benefit is sure to capture unforgettable wildlife moments and memories for your clients. For more information, please visit www.greatplainsconservation.com or email hilton@greatplainsconservation.com
