Tortilis Camp |
|
Border Amboseli Nat. Park – Kenya |
Tortilis continues it's commitment in terms of funds and
assistance to the expansion of the Embarankoi School for
local Maasai children. The project has been delayed due
to lack of voluntary labour but we remain positive that
the community will realise the benefits of assisting in
the construction, to better the lives of not only their
children, but to improve the chronic human-wildlife
conflict issues of the area. |

| The
Selinda |
|
Linyanti Swamps – Botswana |
The Selinda has been through an extensive building and
camp upgrade that started last year when all nine rooms
were remodelled inside and out. Phase two - the main
area - has now been completed! Inspired by both The
Selinda's endless views and the four elements of Nature,
the design and furnishings are a sensory collage that
epitomises the area. Dinner, under the canopy of the
Milky Way, is a particularly special feature. (The
Selinda's rebuild includes our website! The new site can
be viewed at
http://www.selindareserve.com/) |

Malilangwe
Wildlife Reserve – Zimbabwe |
Nduna is undergoing a refurb and we are aiming for
August to open, however with the Zimbabwe situation this
is proving to be quite a challenge. We have just
appointed a new Lodge Manager for Nduna - Tracy Fouche
who started on June 15th 2007. We are very excited about
Tracy's involvement at Nduna and wish her all the very
best! |

Classic Recipe -
Tessa's Sweet Chilli Jam
Ant’s Nest
Waterberg – South Africa
|
|
250g large red chillies
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
3 cups white vinegar
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
|
 |
|
This recipe makes about 3 cups. Enjoy with starters and
or cheese!
Remove stems from chillies and roughly chop with seeds.
(The more seeds you put in the hotter it is) Combine
vinegar, water and sugar in large pan, not too deep.
Stir over heat without boiling until sugar is dissolved.
Process sugar syrup, chillies, garlic and ginger until
finely chopped. Return to pan and boil uncovered for 30-45 minutes until mixture is reduced by half. Stand for
10 minutes before bottling in sterilized jars. Seal
while hot. |

How's That!
Tongabezi
Victoria Falls – Zimbabwe |
 |
Livingstone Bob is famous for his birding knowledge. He
recently spent time sharpening our guides birding skills
and Sanya asked him which bird is most intriguing and
representative of Tongabezi. The Finfoot she was told...
but warned that these pretty birds are in a class of
their own, quite shy and hardly ever speak or fly. A
couple of mornings later, they had 10 minutes to spare
and jumped in a canoe down river – and spotted no less
than 6 birds! One which was cackling away and another
embarking on a mammoth flight from tree to water!
Proving that nature always has another surprise up her
sleeve…. |
