Guests looking for a great safari experience in the sabi sands reserve should check out the special offer that we have just added where guests can stay 3 nights for the price of 2 at Chitwa Chitwa between 1 May and 15 July this year.

This is great value for money in one of Africa’s leading game reserves, and at current exchange rates a couple staying 3 nights for the price of 2 would save approximately £640 / Euro 690 / US$ 900.

This offer is due to be featured shortly on Southern Africa TV, so anyone thinking of going might want to get in touch now before all the rooms are booked!

Anyone in the UK who was interested in the Okonjima update we posted back in December will almost certainly want to see the Cheetah Man progam tonight at 8pm on Five.

The program tells the remarkable story of Olivier Houalet who has worked for the last four years with 4 orphaned cheetahs at Namibia’s Amani Lodge, and has prepared them to be rereleased into the wild by acting as their surrogae mother.  I was at Amani myself a few years ago and saw Olivier’s amazing talents for myself, and I am sure that this will make fascinating TV.

Anyone who missed “Natural World: A Wild Dog’s Story” on BBC TV this weekend should have a look at the video on the BBC iPlayer site.

The film follows the remarkable story of an African Wild Dog called Newky and follows his life from puppy to adulthood…it is a magnificent film, and really captures the hardship of these fascinating animals lives.
