A2A Safaris - Recently Spotted https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/tags/recently-spotted en December highlight- Duba Plains, Botswana https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/december-highlight-duba-plains-botswana <div class="body text-field" property="content:encoded"><p><b>DECEMBER NEWS and a wonderful gallery</b></p> <p>December month has created a great opportunity of photography, especially the beautiful clouds before and after the rain with the sun rays sticking out behind a rain cloud. The paradise of Duba was flourishing with newly born red lechwes and the faint colored young tsessebes. The plains of Duba looked stunning green and for many giving them that imagination of “the last remains of the Biblical Eden” as described by one of our guests.</p> <p>The grass is green and buffalos eating well. We’ve had fires burning in the south of the concession in November and when the rains came the buffalos seemed to enjoy the new shoots as they spent most of the days in this area. Lions are not taking chances with them when they are this fit but have rather resorted to warthogs and lechwes.</p> <p>The circle of life in the bush is still continuing, with lions killing, hooded vultures cleaning up before hyenas come for bone crushing.</p> <p>The year was summed up well with celebrations and great dishes by our own Duba Chef Pierre van Zyl on Christmas day.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_0104.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-9063];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9064 aligncenter" alt="IMG_0104" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_0104-300x226.jpg" width="300" height="226" /></a></p> <p><img class="size-medium wp-image-9066 aligncenter" alt="IMG_0547" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_0547-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">The Duba Cubs play together as they feast on a young buffalo</p> <p> </p> <p><img class="size-medium wp-image-9065 aligncenter" alt="IMG_0471" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_0471-300x258.jpg" width="300" height="258" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">A fish Eagles watches a Duba male, perhaps waiting for some scraps off a kill – they don’t just eat fish!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_0673.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-9063];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9067" alt="IMG_0673" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_0673-300x182.jpg" width="300" height="182" /></a><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9068" alt="IMG_6350" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_6350-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">The Waterways of Duba.  A great place to see Hippo, and if you are lucky perhaps a Buffalo crossing</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_8606.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-9063];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9069 aligncenter" alt="IMG_8606" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_8606-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Could it be time to mate?</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_8812.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-9063];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9070 aligncenter" alt="IMG_8812" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/IMG_8812-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;">You will only ever see such a sight at this time of year</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/New-young-maledominant.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-9063];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9072" alt="New young male(dominant)" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/New-young-maledominant-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a>   <a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Skimmer.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-9063];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9075" alt="Skimmer" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Skimmer-300x192.jpg" width="300" height="192" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">This is what happens when you mess with the ladies of Duba</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/X-MAS.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-9063];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9077 aligncenter" alt="X -

It is therefore through our guests that we stay in touch with the outside world, so called civilization.<br /> Some of our guests have already been infected with what we call ‘vacation brain’ when they finally reach Zarafa. They have become one of us. Others are fresh from Johannesburg’s Airlink connection and have recently watched ‘BBC live’, waiting to board their plane to Maun.  It is these guests that informed our team about some of the memorable events of 2013 which should not be forgotten about, not even by those living in the bush. The flash floods in India in June, the attack of the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi last September and typhoon Haiyan are only a few examples.<br /> We would like to thank all the guests visiting Zarafa in 2013 for the engaging conversations around the dinner table and the laughs around our fire pit. We enjoyed hearing about your interesting lives and about the wellbeing of the rest of our planet. The expert opinions, the points of view, the politically engaged discussions and the two-way flow of information keeping us educated and up-to-date. We also like to thank you for your interest in our environment and your support in our mission to protect the wild life and nature. We had great pleasure from sharing our stories regarding beautiful Botswana,  the people, the wildlife, The Big Cat Initiative and our green energy sources in camp.</p> <p>In 2014, Zarafa will continue to surround itself with all the good in life; good people, good food, all good things we enjoy and share with our guests.<br /> May we have many more leopards observing us from below the deck and Margarita parties out in the bush.  May good old George and Fred (our Zarafa elephants) stay in good health and the wild dog pups grow up to be the new leaders of the packs. To many more bubble baths, dinners in the soft light of lanterns and portions of succulent  turkey breast with mustard honey sauce.</p> <p>Lwa amgolesega,<br /> We welcome you,</p> <p>Happy New Year!<br /> Zarafa Team</p> <p><img class="size-medium wp-image-9047 aligncenter" alt="Picture Kat 2" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Picture-Kat-2-203x300.jpg" width="203" height="300" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Linghi our star waitress watches the Wild Dogs of the Zibidianja pack at Zarafa</p> <p><img class="size-medium wp-image-9049 aligncenter" alt="Picture kat 4" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Picture-kat-4-300x218.jpg" width="300" height="218" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">The Selinda Pride Females on the hunt</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/picture-kat-1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-9045];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-9046 aligncenter" alt="picture kat 1" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/picture-kat-1-200x300.jpg" width="200" height="300" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;">Sit back, relax and enjoy the view – Happy New Year</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div id="facebook_like"> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.greatplainsconservation.com%2Fbushbuzz%2F%3Fp%3D9045&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=500&amp;action=like&amp;font=segoe+ui&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:500px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe></div> </div><div class="field-tags field-items"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/botswana-camps" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Botswana Camps</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/bushbuzz" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">BushBuzz</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/recently-spotted" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Recently Spotted</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/zarafa-camp" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Zarafa Camp</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/botswana-luxury-safari" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Botswana Luxury Safari</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/dereck-and-beverly-joubert" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Dereck and Beverly Joubert</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/great-plains-conservation" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Great Plains Conservation</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/selinda-reserve" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Selinda Reserve</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/wild-dog" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Wild Dog</a></div></div> Wed, 08 Jan 2014 06:35:36 +0000 Anonymous 653 at https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/new-years-letter-%E2%80%93-zarafa-camp-botswana#comments MEET ISAAC – Head guide in the Selinda Concession https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/meet-isaac-%E2%80%93-head-guide-the-selinda-concession <div class="body text-field" property="content:encoded"><p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/IMG_5612-001.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8977];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8978 aligncenter" alt="IMG_5612-001" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/IMG_5612-001-216x300.jpg" width="216" height="300" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Isaac was fortuitously born in the Okavango Delta, where, as a little boy he spent lots of time hunting with his father and grandfather, resulting in a love affair with nature and all its beauty that was destined to continue growing.</p> <p>It was therefore a natural progression for Isaac to become a safari guide, a career for him, starting back in 1993. Over the years he has consistently strived to further his education, which has included spending some time in Zimbabwe in pursuit of his walking guide qualification. His recent promotion to head guide for Great Plains Conservation Botswana will see Isaac spending more of his time coaching, motivating and managing the effectiveness of the guiding team together with the day-to-day guiding operations within the concessions. He has also been an active member of BOTA (Botswana Training Authority) since 2008, assisting in setting up the standards for guides training in Botswana.</p> <p>Isaac derives great joy out of sharing his vast bush knowledge and experiences with anyone and everyone.  Equally, he is able to focus on various interests and specialties that his visitors may have and as such is truly guest-driven. Included in his skill set is photography and he continues to spend most of his spare time studying in order to further his guiding and management skills.</p> <p>On the home front Isaac is also a husband and father of three children – two girls and a boy. To Isaac their education is just as important as his own, providing him with even more motivation, commitment and dedication on the work front.</p> <p>Isaac’s dream to become a guide trainer for the company one day, and maybe more, doesn’t end there. He would also like to establish a business within his local community. One that all, especially the elderly and children, can benefit from.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div id="facebook_like"> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.greatplainsconservation.com%2Fbushbuzz%2F%3Fp%3D8977&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=500&amp;action=like&amp;font=segoe+ui&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:500px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe></div> </div><div class="field-tags field-items"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/botswana-camps" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Botswana Camps</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/bushbuzz" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">BushBuzz</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/recently-spotted" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Recently Spotted</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/selinda-camp" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Selinda Camp</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/selinda-canoe-trails" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Selinda Canoe Trails</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/selinda-explorers-camp" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Selinda Explorers Camp</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/zarafa-camp" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Zarafa Camp</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/botswana-luxury-safari" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Botswana Luxury Safari</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/dereck-and-beverly-joubert" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Dereck and Beverly Joubert</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/great-plains-conservation" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Great Plains Conservation</a></div></div> Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:32:09 +0000 Anonymous 360 at https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/meet-isaac-%E2%80%93-head-guide-the-selinda-concession#comments November news – Selinda Camp, Botswana https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/november-news-%E2%80%93-selinda-camp-botswana <div class="body text-field" property="content:encoded"><p>November is the beginning of the rainy season for us and as such this past month has delivered fantastic cloud formations, the most amazing sunsets and eventually the first rain as well.

Impalas, tsesebe and wildebeest have already introduced their newborns to the world and we look forward to seeing many more.</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P1030311.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8949];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8956" alt="P1030311" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P1030311.jpg" width="640" height="480" /></a></p> <p>Of course with lots of antelope around there are bound to be the predators following and our guests have definitely not been disappointed on this score. We’ve had various sightings of different leopards, including two separate mating “couples”, seen on the same day in different locations on the concession.</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/MG_7099.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8949];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8957" alt="_MG_7099" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/MG_7099.jpg" width="720" height="480" /></a></p> <p>… and lion have been spotted almost on a daily basis.

There have been quite a few young elephant killed by them this month, which could just be the opportunistic taking advantage of weakened individuals at the end of a long dry season, or possibly a trend developing in the Selinda concession again? We are not quite sure …</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P10300591.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8949];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8966" alt="P1030059" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P10300591.jpg" width="640" height="480" /></a></p> <p>The Northern wild dog pack of five has entertained us on numerous occasions – including a couple of visits to Selinda Camp itself. Unfortunately without their puppies and it would appear they have lost all six of them.</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P1010881.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8949];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8962" alt="P1010881" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P1010881.jpg" width="640" height="463" /></a></p> <p>The good news, however, is that the southern pack was spotted in the vicinity of our sister camp, Zarafa, with seven healthy and rapidly growing youngsters.</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/DSCN2404-001.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8949];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8967" alt="DSCN2404-001" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/DSCN2404-001.jpg" width="640" height="480" /></a></p> <p>Cheetahs are few and far between out here, but we have managed to get a glimpse of them on four or five different occasions through the month. Some lucky viewers were even able to capture them doing a quick pose in front of the setting sun.</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P1020045.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8949];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8968" alt="P1020045" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P1020045.jpg" width="640" height="464" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>And then of course we shouldn´t forget the always present hippo. The added cloud cover and cooler weather means they now spend more time outside the water during the day, offering more than just a set of eyes, ears and a nose protruding above the waterline for better photo opportunities. The rain appears also to have brought about a certain amount of “spring feelings” within them. Testament to that lies with the number of fighting males and mating couples we have seen in front of and around camp of late.</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P1010342-001.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8949];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8970" alt="P1010342-001" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/P1010342-001.jpg" width="640" height="480" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>Lots of wildlife activity, happy guests and cooler weather … and this is just the beginning of the rainy season!  Imagine what Selinda still has to offer … can’t wait to see you out here.</p> <p> </p> <p>Eva Spyridis &amp; Dave Pahl</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Camp Managers</p> <div id="facebook_like"> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.greatplainsconservation.com%2Fbushbuzz%2F%3Fp%3D8949&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=500&amp;action=like&amp;font=segoe+ui&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:500px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe></div> </div><div class="field-tags field-items"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/botswana-camps" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Botswana Camps</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/bushbuzz" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">BushBuzz</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/headlines" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Headlines</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/recently-spotted" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Recently Spotted</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/selinda-camp" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Selinda Camp</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/dereck-and-beverly-joubert" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Dereck and Beverly Joubert</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/great-plains-conservation" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Great Plains Conservation</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/leopard" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">leopard</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/wild-dog" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Wild Dog</a></div></div> Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:44:52 +0000 Anonymous 361 at https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/november-news-%E2%80%93-selinda-camp-botswana#comments Duba- Wedding Wonderland https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/duba-wedding-wonderland <div class="body text-field" property="content:encoded"><p>It is quite an intriguing thought to celebrate a wedding in the bush.

Likewise the lions have been wandering through the middle of the camp but unfortunately for them they ran up against James (007) who sent them packing with some bruised egos. Not that we take these things lightly as it is serious business to know this is the wild in its purest form  but we do take solace in the fact that the guides here have grown up around some of these beautiful predators and know exactly how to deal with them.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/P1000756-800x600.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8889];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-8883 alignleft" alt="P1000756 (800x600)" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/P1000756-800x600-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>The rains we can say have officially come, with the camp getting hit by some tent shaking storms lasting only a couple of hours. This means that insects that were once dormant are now seen frequently. Flying termites have swarmed the main area before losing their wings and making the rest of the journey on foot. Longhorn beetles are strolling around the ground and the intimidating (though harmless) solifuges’ have been dashing back and forth on the pathways looking for something tasty to munch.</p> <p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Toast-800x533.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8889];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8887" alt="Toast (800x533)" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Toast-800x533-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>So let us pop a bottle and you can enjoy Duba’s landscape with something chilled in your hand as you reflect on the action of the day.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div id="facebook_like"> <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.greatplainsconservation.com%2Fbushbuzz%2F%3Fp%3D8889&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=500&amp;action=like&amp;font=segoe+ui&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:500px; height:80px;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe></div> </div><div class="field-tags field-items"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/botswana-camps" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Botswana Camps</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/bushbuzz" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">BushBuzz</a></div><div class="field-item even " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/duba-plains-camp" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Duba Plains Camp</a></div><div class="field-item odd " rel="dc:subject"><a href="/africa/blog/tags/recently-spotted" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Recently Spotted</a></div></div> Fri, 08 Nov 2013 06:32:26 +0000 Anonymous 366 at https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/duba-october-news#comments Bush fires https://us.a2asafaris.com/africa/blog/bush-fires <div class="body text-field" property="content:encoded"><p><a href="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/P1010723-800x600.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8852];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8855" alt="P1010723 (800x600)" src="http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/bushbuzz/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/P1010723-800x600.jpg" width="534" height="400" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p>So we have made it into November and the good news is the rain has brought with it a reason to raise a family whether it be antelope or these awesome looking bat-eared foxes just coming out of their den for an evening of hunting.
