An update from wilderness safaris

In recent months Wilderness Safaris have had plenty to keep them busy, with guests arriving at all their camps. Wilderness Safaris are Responsible for Chelinda Lodge, Chelinda Camp, Mvvu Lodge, Mvuu Camp, Chintheche Inn, Heuglin’s Lodge and Mumbo Island Camp. The last few months have been filled with community outreach programs as well; two of which being community sensitization meetings in Dongolituwa and Mazembe, under Village Headmen Jiliki and Mphimbi, with over 200 community members present between both sites. The Root to Fruit message of reforestation and conservation was very well received and the communities are excited to get involved. There have also been some fantastic of elephants, hippos, waterbuck, impala, kudu, warthogs, yellow baboons, vervet monkeys and bushbuck at Mvuu Camp. The elephants are beginning to congregate in larger herds, with groups of more than 60 gathering and feeding at the river. The bulls are in closer attendance as some are in musth (a period among adult male elephants, when they are very aggressive and sexually active). Guests on a sanctuary drive also saw black rhinos, large herds of; sable, zebra, buffalo, eland, and Lichtensteins Hartebeest, and also some bushpigs.
