Join the Gondwana Collection and Namibia2Go for a special Namibian journey. This carefully planned safari includes stopovers at all the popular wildlife sites. Beginning in Windhoek, the route leads northwards to the famous Etosha National Park, where two nights are enjoyed at the unique and quirky Etosha Safari Camp. The third day is spent travelling into the heart of Etosha for superb wildlife viewing, exiting in the late afternoon at the northern gate. Overnight at the stylish Etosha King Nehale on the Andoni Plains before travelling further north to the peaceful oasis of Hakusembe Lodge on the glittering Okavango River. Arrive in time to raise your glass and watch the sun sink into the horizon from the deck of the lodge.

A sanctuary for wildlife, Bwabwata National Park and surrounds provide countless photographic opportunities. Tune in to the sounds of the river and fall asleep to the chortling of hippos at Namushasha River Lodge. A highlight of a stay is a trip into Bwabwata, by boat and game-viewing vehicle. The safari continues further east on the floodplains of the Chobe River, adjacent to Chobe National Park, where it’s possible to spot elephant, buffalo and water-adapted antelope like sitatunga at different times of the year. After savouring the delights of Chobe, you enter into the enchanted world of the mighty Zambezi River, where the life-affirming calls of fish eagles resound through the day.

  • Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa Camelopardalis Ssp
    Angolan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis ssp. angolensis) Appendix 1: Historical and recent geographic range and population of Angolan Giraffe G. c. angolensis Geographic Range ANGOLA Historical range in Angola Giraffe formerly occurred in the mopane and acacia savannas of southern Angola (East 1999). According to Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo (2005), the historic distribution of the species presented a discontinuous range with two, reputedly separated, populations. The western-most population extended from the upper course of the Curoca River through Otchinjau to the banks of the Kunene (synonymous Cunene) River, and through Cuamato and the Mupa area further north (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). The intention of protecting this western population of G. c. angolensis, led to the proclamation of Mupa National Park (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). The eastern population occurred between the Cuito and Cuando Rivers, with larger numbers of records from the southeast corner of the former Mucusso Game Reserve (Crawford-Cabral and Verissimo 2005, Dagg 1962). By the late 1990s Giraffe were assumed to be extinct in Angola (East 1999). According to Kuedikuenda and Xavier (2009), a small population of Angolan Giraffe may still occur in Mupa National Park; however, no census data exist to substantiate this claim. As the Park was ravaged by poachers and refugees, it was generally accepted that Giraffe were locally extinct until recent re-introductions into southern Angola from Namibia (Kissama Foundation 2015, East 1999, P. Vaz Pinto pers. comm.). BOTSWANA Current range in Botswana Recent genetic analyses have revealed that the population of Giraffe in the Central Kalahari and Khutse Game Reserves in central Botswana is from the subspecies G.

  • Zambezi Landscape Profile
    1. Background information of the Zambezi Landscape 1.1 Description of the Landscape The Zambezi Focal Landscape is situated in the far eastern part of the Zambezi Region, forming a roughly square-shaped area lying immediately east of Katima Mulilo, bordered in the north by the edge of the floodplains of the Zambezi River and in the south by sections of the Chobe River. The total area of the Focal Landscape is 219,513 ha. The landscape is fairly flat and parts of it are prone to flooding during the wet season. It is characterized by clay-loam and sandy-loam soils, and rural livelihoods are based mainly on livestock, dryland cropping, and tourism and wildlife in the conservancies. The relevant features of the landscape are: The Zambezi Focal Landscape is located in several constituencies in the Zambezi Region, namely • Katima Mulilo Rural Constituency. • Kabbe North Constituency. • Kabbe South Constituency. • Sibbinda Constituency. 1.2 Ethnic Groups The Focal Landscape is mainly inhabited by the Mafwe and the Masubia people. WATS Investment cc is the Consortium responsible for overseeing the implementation of the landscape activities in this Focal Landscape. 1.3 Population and demographics The population in the Zambezi Focal Landscape has been calculated from the 2011 cen- sus data, using the NSA’s disaggregated figure for the exact area of the focal landscape (7,213 people) (NSA 2021 pers. comm.) and applying to this the annual growth rate of 1.3% for the Region (NSA 2012). This calculates to 8,207 people. In 2011 the sex ratio was roughly equal, with a very small male bias (51.9% men to 48.1% women).

  • Major Trollope and the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel One Night As He Lay
    Conference Paper for ABORNE 2009. Please do not cite vilify or pillage without at least talking to me. Beyond the Last Frontier: Major Trollope and the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel One night as he lay sleeping on the veranda of his residence in Katima Mulilo Major L.F.W. Trollope, the Native Commissioner and Resident Magistrate for the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel, was attacked by a nineteen year old wielding an axe. Major Trollope survived the attack and the assailant was soon arrested, but in the subsequent trial the “plum posting” that Trollope had created on the furthermost frontier of South African rule came crashing down. The trial brought to the fore that Trollope lived beyond the control of the South African administration to which he was formally subject, and that instead he had become enmeshed in the administrations of Northern Rhodesia and the Bechuanaland Protectorate. Originally appointed to Katima Mulilo to enforce South African rule in the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel, Trollope increasingly established his own fiefdom on the outer fringes of South African rule, and became evermore integrated in the administrations of countries beyond the borders of South Africa. By the time of his demise, Trollope ruled the Eastern Caprivi Zipfel in a manner that had more in keeping with the academically schooled coterie of District Commissioners of Northern Rhodesia and the Bechuanaland Protectorate, than that it bore relation to the apartheid securocrats of the South African Bantu Affairs Department to which he was nominally subject. Beyond the frontier Even amongst the arbitrarily drawn borders of Africa, the borders of the Namibian Caprivi strip are a striking anomaly jutting 500 kilometres into the African continent.

  • Luregn Lenggenhager Nature Conservation, Development And
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Ruling nature, controlling people: nature conservation, development and war in North-Eastern Namibia since the 1920s Lenggenhager, Luregn Abstract: Recent nature conservation initiatives in Southern Africa such as communal conservancies and peace parks are often embedded in narratives of economic development and ecological research. They are also increasingly marked by militarisation and violence. In Ruling Nature, Controlling People, Luregn Lenggenhager shows that these features were also characteristic of South African rule over the Caprivi Strip region in North-Eastern Namibia, especially in the fields of forestry, fisheries and, ulti- mately, wildlife conservation. In the process, the increasingly internationalised war in the region from the late 1960s until Namibia’s independence in 1990 became intricately interlinked with contemporary nature conservation, ecology and economic development projects. By retracing such interdependencies, Lenggenhager provides a novel perspective from which to examine the history of a region which has until now barely entered the focus of historical research. He thereby highlights the enduring relevance of the supposedly peripheral Caprivi and its military, scientific and environmental histories for efforts to develop a deeper understanding of the ways in which apartheid South Africa exerted state power.
