Ethos African Snippets

Our clients take great pride in their conservation credentials and community upliftment projects.  It is great to hear from the trade that more and more of your clients are also taking a greater interest. 

The tourism industry in Africa will not survive unless local communities are included and the wildlife experience can only be better if the environment and wildlife are taken care of - so playing our part is definitely a WIN WIN for us all.

Another point of pride for us at Ethos is how our clients really try to listen to trends that we share with them.  Bernie at Garonga has been advised by many that a fly-in package would really add to the appeal of Garonga and so a fly-in package has been put together.  We hope you find this of interest.

Kambaku Trails Camp

Set along the Klasserie River amidst giant Jackleberry trees you will find the Kambaku trails camp, originally built by South African environmentalist Clive Walker in the early 1970's.

This is the same place where Bryce, one of the owners of Kambaku, was trained by Gary Freeman, and exposed not only to his abundant knowledge of the area and all its inhabitants both big and small, but also to the essence of what a true wilderness walking trail is as started so many years ago.

Garonga

Garonga Safari Camp is delighted to make the life of our guests a lot simpler getting to and from Garonga from selected airports across South Africa. 

The terrain at Garonga is completely different to the Timbavati or the Sabie Sands so why not combine Garonga with one of those areas using this fantastic fly-in package?

IMAGE OF THE MONTH

An impressive display of exactly what makes the African leopard such a formidable predator.

FUN FACT

Giraffe are the tallest herbivores in the world and feed off a variety of plant species. However, when nutrients are lacking in their normal daily diets, and they become nutritionally stressed, they will eat bone to get phosphorous and calcium their bodies require. Bones are manipulated in and out the mouth by the tongue while being sucked and chewed.
