Progression of Game Routes

After many days and long hours of slashing and grading by our maintenance manager Joe, conservation manager Bjorn and the staff, the game routes through the plains are now re-opened, finally after heavy flooding. Fires were set by ZAWA at the beginning of June to burn the long grass, thus opening up the plains to more accessible game drives and ensuring the encouraged re-growth of flora and fauna alike. Once the fires had subsided, the tractor was used to its full potential to carve out a route through the plains all the way up to elephant pools, ready for us to commence game drives through the area. So far game sightings include; elephant, hippo, hyena, eland, zebra, lion, leopard and we are hoping that as the season progresses so will the game sightings.
