11th Nov 2009 A very warm welcome, warm being the operative word, from the Backpackers Bazaar Team. Its hot, humid and wet as the rainy season is now upon us! Our spring has seen the trees and grass getting greener, the lovely flamboyant’s blooming and the frangipanis flowering! A really pretty time of year for Vic Falls and surrounding areas! The Festive silly season is approaching and things are very booked up all over town accommodation and activity wise, so just to remind everyone to try send through pre-bookings to avoid disappointment! On this day in 1871 journalist-explorer Henry M. Stanley found Scottish missionary David Livingstone, who had not been heard from for years, near Lake Tanganyika in central Africa.
19th October 2009 Operation protect the rhino babies Shearwater Adventures is happy to report that the rhinos on the reserve are doing very well and sighting of the calves and their mothers are now more frequent. All rhinos appear more relaxed and Shungu, the daddy rhino, is still a little protective of his daughters but fortunately his bark is worse than his bite. The two rhino calves are now almost four months old and although healthy there is unfortunately another threat to them, wild lions. The reserve has five wild lions, an adult male and lioness with three half grown cubs who are stalking the rhino babies. Since the rhinos are state property we have been given permission to capture and relocate these wild lions to the Matetsi wildlife area. We are currently in the process of baiting them to facilitate the immobilizing of lions. Unfortunately the lions are currently residing in an area that includes our lion walk activity. So with immediate effect we will be temporarily suspending our lion walk activity until further notice. We are sure you will understand not only the potential risks to our precious baby rhinos, but also to your clients on the Walk. All existing and new bookings will be channelled through to another supplier. We will update you accordingly as soon as the operation is over. Please support us during this “Operation protect the rhino babies” Kind Regards Management Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve
