“National Parks & Game Reserves” SOUTH AFRICA “National Parks & Game Reserves” THIS IS A DRAFT ITINERARY PREPARED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS SITE: IT IS THE FIRST STEP FROM WHICH TO CREATE A TAILOR-MADE TRIP TO MEET THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF EACH CUSTOMER. A MORE SPECIFIC DRAFT CAN BE DRAFTED AND SENT UPON REQUEST. ACCOMMODATIONS, DURATION OF THE TRIP, EXTENSIONS AND COMBINATIONS WITH OTHER PLACES (WITHIN THE SAME COUNTRY OR IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES) CAN BE DETERMINED TOGETHER WITH KALAHARI AND MODIFIED ACCORDING TO YOUR DESIRES. SAFARIS at the RESERVES or NATIONAL PARKS Meeting with the reserve / park’s driver for the transfer to the lodge. The safari starts as soon as you enter the park. For the safaris with rangers, at least, three or four nights are being recommended. Everything is included, and often, depending on the categories of the park / reserve, local South African drinks may be also included. Elegant and comfortable accommodation. Some reservations have been considered as an example. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE WALKING SAFARI: Almost all the reserves in South Africa allow walking safaris. Even if we expose some photos of this style of safari, Kalahari always suggests to be very careful and does not agree with the decision to take on this type of excursion, because the rangers are not always armed and the animals are always faster. THE WEST KWANDWE GAME RESERVE Kwandwe Game Reserve is a "malaria - free" Reserve near Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth (Eastern Cape). Kwandwe offers beautiful safaris in a historical area to see the ‘Big Five’. The reception of the Reserve is in fact a fortified farm of the Frontier War era. Kwandwe means 'the place of the Blue Cranes', and it is in fact home to a large population of this species of birds at high risk of extinction. Besides the blue crane, Kwandwe protects many other endangered species such as the, Cape Grysbok, Black Wildebeest, black rhino, the Crowned Eagle and the Black - footed Cat. KWANDWE - GREAT FISH RIVER NATURE RESERVE The spectacular natural Reserve of the Great Fish River is situated in the malaria - free area of Eastern Cape, between Grahamstown and Fort Beaufort, and extends down to the Kieskama River. This destination has remained outside the major tourist routes, offering the chance to see a corner of Africa, which is still wild and intact. SHAMWARI GAME RESERVE A very beautiful reserve located in the "malaria-free" area of Eastern Cape, just 75 km from Port Elizabeth. The accommodations in this reserve are very elegant and particular. This is one of the "jewel" reserves of South Africa, winner of several awards, including the World Leading Safari, Game Reserve and Conservation Company. AMAKHALA GAME RESERVE (Eastern Cape, nella zona di Addo) Amakhala Game Reserve is also located in the "malaria-free" area of the Eastern Cape. The conservation project, started in 1999 by the original owners of these lands (direct descendants of the first English settlers who arrived in this part of the country in 1820). Originally exploited for the breeding of sheep, this project was planned to transform these lands in a sanctuary for the reintroduction of African wildlife. Today, this great reserve includes 7,500 hectares of wildly restored lands; the animals are back again to roam free in their natural habitat. It offers the possibility of beautiful and exciting safari in search of the Big Five. KRUGER NATIONAL PARK AND ABOUT SABI SAND GAME RESERVE Sabi Sand Game Reserve is located in the south-western part of the Kruger National Park. It is rich in "Big Five" animals, and is famous for the chance to meet the leopard. The Sabi Sand is part of a protected area that stretches over two million hectares. There are no defenses between the parks, so the animals move freely within them. The safaris cover an area of 10 000 hectares, and the rangers are always in contact with each other to communicate any sightings. They can also read their footprints and thus follow the movements of the same animals. AROUND THE KALAHARI MADIKWE GAME RESERVE Madikwe, with its 75,000 hectares is located on the border with the mountains in the province of Dwarsberg in the North West Province. It is one of the few reserves in the world established with the primary purpose of conservation and environmental sustainability of that specific area. The reserve consists mostly of bushy savannah, but consists also of sandy soils of the Kalahari Desert, and a number of higher biomes than that of the Krugher Park. Madikwe has become famous thanks to Operation Phoenix, the largest displacement of wildlife ever attempted in the world. The project involved more than 8,000 animals belonging to 28 different species, which were released between 1992 and 1999, in the dense bush of the savannah in the reserve. The sighting of animals is virtually guaranteed all year round and this is a ‘malaria free’ zone. TSWALU PRIVATE GAME RESERVE Tswalu is located in the Northern Cape Province, at the foot of the Korannberg Mountains, 300 km north-west of Kimberley. Not far from the border with Botswana, the village of Tswalu overlooks the endless splendour and the stillness of the Kalahari. Tswalu is the Tswana word, meaning "new beginning ". It is an exclusive lodge located in the Kalahari Desert in a private reserve covering 90,000 hectares of land, covered with red dunes and endemic bushes. Rooms at Tswalu are the symbol of style of rustic elegance, typical of luxurious lodges in a private reserve. Comfort has not been forgotten in this typical African residence. In the main residence, guests can dine in the elegant dining room or can be served in the privacy of their suite. The suites are all hand-built in stone and sands of the Kalahari, with large thatched roofs. You fly to the reserve with the lodge’s plane. It is not private. AT KWA ZULU-NATAL PHINDA PRIVATE GAME RESERVE Phinda Private Game Reserve is found in the subtropical northern part of KwaZulu-Natal, and enjoys the privilege of being close to the warm Indian Ocean. It is a natural reserve that has been awarded many international awards for; its great work aimed at land conservation, and for its involvement within the communities. In 1991, here occurred the largest transfer of wildlife ever experienced up to that year. The reserve now has a total of 56.830 acres of land - shrine dedicated to the conservation of land and wildlife. Wonderful day and night safaris spent to explore the "Big Five" with the chance to spot the shy cheetah and the rare black rhino. Not to mention the safaris by boat and by canoe down the river Mzinene. Hiking and picnic on the wild coast of the Indian Ocean with the chance of spotting whales, not to mention the cage dives with the great white shark.

  • Corrosion Map of South Africa's Macro Atmosphere
    Corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere AUTHORS: Darelle T. Janse van Rensburg1,2 The first atmospheric corrosion map of South Africa, produced by Callaghan in 1991, has become outdated, Lesley A. Cornish1 because it primarily focuses on the corrosivity of coastal environments, with little differentiation given Josias van der Merwe1 concerning South Africa’s inland locations. To address this problem, a study was undertaken to develop AFFILIATIONS: a new corrosion map of the country, with the emphasis placed on providing greater detail concerning 1School of Chemical and Metallurgical South Africa’s inland regions. Here we present this new corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere, Engineering and DST-NRF Centre of Excellence in Strong Materials, based on 12-month corrosion rates of mild steel at more than 100 sites throughout the country. Assimilations University of the Witwatersrand, and statistical analyses of the data (published, unpublished and new) show that the variability in the corrosion Johannesburg, South Africa rate of mild steel decreases significantly moving inland. Accordingly, the average first-year corrosion rate of 2Orytech (Pty) Ltd, Roodepoort, South Africa mild steel at the inland sites (at all corrosion monitoring spots located more than 30 km away from the ocean) measured 21±12 µm/a [95% CI: 18–23 µm/a]. The minimum inland figure was about 1.3 µm/a (recorded CORRESPONDENCE TO: at Droërivier in the Central Karoo) and the maxima were approximately 51 µm/a and 50 µm/a in the industrial Darelle Janse van Rensburg hearts of Germiston (Gauteng) and Sasolburg (Free State), respectively.

The project aimed to document the floristic diversity of the Angolan escarpment, a combination of general walk-over survey, plant specimen collection and sight observation was used to aid the characterization of the vegetation. Over 100 plant specimens in flower or fruit were collected within four identified vegetation types. The list of species in- cludes two new records of Guineo-Congolian species in Angola, one new record for the country and one potential new species. Keywords Kumbira forest, Guineo-Congolian, floristic diversity Introduction Angola lies almost wholly within the southern zone of tropical grassland, bounded by tropical rain forest of the Congo in the north and by the Kalahari Desert in the south (Shaw 1947).

  • Sonar Surveys for Bat Species Richness and Activity in the Southern Kalahari Desert, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa
    diversity Article Sonar Surveys for Bat Species Richness and Activity in the Southern Kalahari Desert, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa Rick A. Adams 1,* and Gary Kwiecinski 2 1 School of Biological Sciences, University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, CO 80639, USA 2 Department of Biology, University of Scranton, Scranton, PA 18510, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-970-351-2057 Received: 27 March 2018; Accepted: 10 September 2018; Published: 18 September 2018 Abstract: Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is located in northwestern South Africa and extends northeastward into Botswana. The park lies largely within the southern Kalahari Desert ecosystem where the Auob and Nassob rivers reach their confluence. Although these rivers run only about once every 100 years, or shortly after large thunderstorms, underground flows and seeps provide consistent surface water for the parks sparse vegetation and diverse wildlife. No formal studies on bats have previously occurred at Kgalagadi. We used SM2 + BAT ultrasonic detectors to survey 10 sites along the Auob and Nassob rivers from 5–16 April 2016. The units recorded 3960 call sequences that were analyzed using Kaleidoscope software for South African bats as well as visual determinations based on call structure attributes (low frequency, characteristic frequency, call duration, and bandwidth). We identified 12 species from four families: Rhinolophidae: Rhinolophus fumigatus. Molossidae: Chaerephon pumilus, and Sauromys petrophilus, Tadarida aegyptiaca; Miniopteridae: Miniopteris schreibersi (natalensis), Vespertilionidae: Laephotis botswanae, Myotis tricolor, Neoromicia capensis, N. nana, Pipistrellus hesperidus, Scotophilus dinganii, and S. viridus. The most abundant species during the survey period was N. capensis. We also used paired-site design to test for greater bat activity at water sources compared to dry sites, with dry sites being significantly more active.

It lies within the south-western part of the ~2.0 Ga large igneous province of southern and central Africa that includes the better known Bushveld Complex. Integrated interpretation of regional gravity data and new high-resolution airborne magnetic data have constrained the geometry of the Molopo Farms Complex in southern Botswana as a strongly faulted, polyphase intrusion compartmentalised by regional ductile shear zones.
