It's Monday and Mkulumadzi is growing

noreply@blogger.com (Zambia Web 2.0) — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 06:23:00 +0000

Hello there,

Robin Pope Safaris have some amazing specials and it's high time you took advantage of them

It's Monday and Mkulumadzi is growing

It's Monday and Mkulumadzi is growing

09 August 2010

This week brings us news from Mark and Jenna at Mkulumadzi, with stories of the construction of our new lodge in Majete Wildlife Reserve South Malawi.
“The construction continues, chalets one and two are already at roof level and foundations are in and the walls are going up on a further three chalets.
The main lodge building is beginning to take shape and the whole project is gaining in momentum. The building team is now accustomed to the strict site rules that need to be enforced when working within a wildlife area – no harassing animals, no littering, no cutting of trees, leave that tortoise alone! It appears to be never ending!

The building site is a hive of activity during the day but come 5 o’ clock the builders depart and the site is reclaimed by the resident wildlife, the hippos, the birds and the sound of the river the only ‘noise’. If one were to visit at this time it would appear as if buildings were spontaneously growing from the riverbank like those little mushrooms that appear out of elephant dung!
With the buildings magically appearing from the ground we’re on to interiors next and the buying team are in Johannesburg this week to start the fun task of sourcing fittings, décor and furniture.

Getting to the lodge still means removing your shoes, rolling up your pants and wading through a river. This has become such an automatic ritual that we often forget to mention it to newcomers. As a result we’re usually around midstream before realising that we’ve left the visitor on the bank wondering if they should follow or if we just happened to be taking a dip in the river before continuing to the lodge site.
Not for much longer though! Work has started on an 80m long suspended footbridge over the Mkulumadzi River. It will be unusual walking onto site with dry feet!

As mentioned before we will be running the entire lodge off solar power. When we first said that it sounded great; environmentally friendly, clean power, the right thing to do. Now I see why lodges in Africa are still reluctant to go solar – it is still astonishingly expensive - and not just to install, replacing batteries every 3-5 years is also no small cost. But there are always ways and means and we’re exploring all of them in order to fulfil our promise of cleaner, greener electricity.

Bentley Palmer lives in Blantyre and has more than just a keen interest in Majete’s flagship species the black rhino. Bentley’s passion for rhino has led him to assisting African Parks with the monitoring of these precious animals in the park. His main modus operandi is to settle into a viewing hide on a full moon night and lie in wait for a rhino to come to the waterhole. Rhino’s by moonlight!
The poignant image above is of Shamwari, a five year old male, who turned up on a cloudy full moon to be captured in Bentley’s lens. Lundu, another male, was photographed on the access road to our lodge site. Other rhino reports in the park show that three of the five females have calves - good news indeed!

There is a lot on the go this month with the final translocation of 600 more animals to the reserve. Sable, waterbuck and impala are all on the way from Liwonde National Park and will be released in to Majete mid-August. A participation safari is being run alongside the relocations where guests are involved in all aspects of the program, from the capture and release to darting and collaring of a number of elephants already in Majete. The satellite collars being fitted to the elephants will allow scouts to monitor the movements of certain individuals and herds more closely.
So we only have good news to report from Majete, although as the months roll by and the dry season becomes the wet there are sure to be a few obstacles such as swollen river, roads becoming impassable to trucks and our site becomes a lot muddier. Yet another African challenge to look forward to! Until then we make hay while the sun shines and long may it shine!!”
Thank you for the update guys, very exiting without a doubt!

News from the Valley, Rocky is back!!! He left us in November 2008 and is now living on a Pacific island Vanuatu, where he attends university and lives with his fiancée. Whilst he is with us we have put him to work once again, guiding for us in the peak season. This return has a twist to it as Rocky has brought Linda back to the bush with the express mission to marry her. The ceremony will take place in the Nsefu Sector, an area very special to both of them – this is where they met! Wedding preparations are in the advanced stage with many local dignatories on the guest list - His Royal Highness Chief Kakumbi being one. Stay tuned for more on this great event which is due to take place at the end of Rocky’s stay, at the end of the month.
Have a wonderful week!

August Special with Robin Pope Safaris

noreply@blogger.com (Zambia Web 2.0) — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 13:10:00 +0000

Hello there!
Robin Pope Safaris are offering an attracctive three night package to
their camps in the South Luangwa
See below:

August Special
Nkwali Camp, South Luangwa
3 nights - US$470pp
Experience South Luangwa superb game viewing for US$470pp

Overlooking the South Luangwa National Park, Nkwali is surrounded by
superb game viewing, with a beautiful area of ebony woodland and open
grasslands. This area is particularly good for elephants and
Thornicroft giraffe (an endemic species). Elephants also regularly
cross the Luangwa, seen from the bar, or come to the waterhole near
the thatched dining room.
The six rooms all look out over the river and have open air bathrooms.
Depending on your arrival time in the day you will enjoy a lunch
looking out over the lagoon to the back of Nkwali or, if in the
afternoon, tea and then an afternoon and night game drive.

The chalets are large, cool and spacious, with a great view of the
river. The front of the room is open during the day and then closed by
grill doors at night. The ensuite bathroom has double sinks and
showers, which are open to the skies. The bar area, right on the edge
of the Luangwa banks, is built around a huge ebony tree with fantastic
views of the river and across to the park. The open deck is wonderful
for moonlit dinners. The dining room is a simple thatched structure by
the lagoon but we rarely eat meals there - they are served under the
trees by the lagoon or the river, on the deck, or in the bush!
* Only applies to new bookings
* Includes: accommodation, full board, all game viewing activities -
game drives and walks, transfers to/from Mfuwe Airport
* Excludes: LCCF, bar & park fees
Take this single chance to visit enjoy the extensive renovations of
Nkwali for a very special rate during August.

Update on Interesting Titbits on the Victoria Fall

noreply@blogger.com (Zambia Web 2.0) — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:16:00 +0000

Our recent article, ‘Interesting Titbits on the Victoria Falls’, we forgot say something about Zambezi Airlines, a local airline that flies to Livingstone from the capital city Lusaka

Budgettravel.com’s recent article mentions flight into Livingstone’s International Airport in Zambia as being only available from Johannesburg, South Africa. It further states that British Airways flies thrice weekly (from $290 round trip)

Yet we feel for tourists visiting Zambia, Zambezi Airlines does fly to most destinations within the country and beyond it

And we can proudly add that in addition to the international carriers mentioned above, Zambezi Airlines should be no exception for tourists seeking to explore Zambia, including the South Luangwa National Park and the northern circuit

Sandys Creations Lodge Enters the Market

noreply@blogger.com (Zambia Web 2.0) — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:23:00 +0000

Hello there,

There is quite a lot of activity going on on the market right now in Zambia. New players are emerging.

A few months ago, we heard The Golden Bridge Hotel would be opening, with something over a hundred rooms.

And today, we read in The Post that Sandys Creations are entering the local market with only 37 rooms, promising 'African authenticity with an ethnic feel.'

In addition to that, the property is said to include 5 meeting rooms, the largest of which accommodates 500 delegates

ATTAK Newswire: 2854 - Air Namibia to fly to Zambia

noreply@blogger.com (Zambia Web 2.0) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:12:00 +0000

Update: Regional travellers will be glad Air Namibia and Zambezi Airlines have struck a codeshare agreement allowing the latter to carry the former’s passengers from Johannesburg into Lusaka

Air Namibia will operate five flights a week from Windhoek to Lusaka, Zambia, via Johannesburg. The sector between Johannesburg and Lusaka will be done in codeshare with Zambezi Airlines. Days of operating are: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays

Depart Windhoek 08h10 arrive Johannesburg 09h55

Depart Johannesburg 11h40 arrive Lusaka 13h40

Depart Lusaka 14h40 arrive Johannesburg 16h40

That’s good news for an airline seeking to make a stronger footprint on the aviation industy in Africa and the region

And we are gald that is coming at a time when lower economic activity could mean many businesses scaling down on their operations in the region.

Total Quandary Over ICAO, Zambian Government Over Issues of Licensing

noreply@blogger.com (Zambia Web 2.0) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:02:00 +0000

Continued haggling and misunderstandings by regulatory authorities may affect your travel may affect travel plans to Zambia. That is if events brewing in the background are anything to go by.

Some time in July, the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) carried out an audit of Zambia’s air traffic.

At the end of the inspection, they seem to have noticed that Zambia needed an Aviation Operator Certificate (which it should be assumed is issued by the ICAO) to conform with new guidelines that had been issued by the ICAO.

For some reason, the ICAO’s announcement prompted unease from the European Association of Travel agents, putting them in an awkward position as far as their clients’ safety was concerned.

Zambezi Airlines Limited, one of the country’s new players on the aviation scene, has stepped in to reassure travelers that all is well.

“Like all international Airlines, Zambezi Airlines does not compromise on safety and regards safety as a matter of prime concern. The aircraft used for international operations are new generation state of the art Boeing 737-500 aircraft which are maintained to the highest aviation standards using maintenance providers certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)and the FAA. The aircraft are leased from the second largest lessor in the industry, GECAS.,” says Cornwell Muleya, the airlines CEO, in a statement posted on Advancing Travel To Africa (ATTA), a trade group

we thought it would be nice to share the goings on on the local scene with our readers and followers!

Zambia is your home away from home. See you soon

Believe you me, Zambezi Airlines are here to make you smile:-)

As Zambia turns 45, very few corporate houses, if any, would want to be left out in cashing-in on the mass buying driven by the Independence Day, or week, if you like.

Just in case you are reading here,

are offering 45% their regular rates to Johannesburg: the special return fare pegged at a mere K650,000 (USD145 at K4,550 to the dollar)*

Of course, as is the case with all special deals, there is some information in small print (The ‘Terms & Conditions"’ clause which we hope to clarify with the airline as soon as possible.

That comes with what the airline is calling 'an ‘unbeatable weight allowance of 32kg in economy.

Good luck!

Norman Carr Specials: Zambia in a Week

noreply@blogger.com (Zambia Web 2.0) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:11:00 +0000

Hello there,

Talking about the best safari, that safari of a lifetime? You may not need to look further. Norman Carr Safaris (www.normancarrsafaris.com) will inspire you with their affordable, yet enjoyable packages.

Of particular interest to us is the 'Zambia in a Week' special, which we assume has been developed with a traveller with limited time but boundless thirst for all things Zambia and Africa.

The package starts humbly at Kapano Lodge and ends in Livingstone, home of the Victoria Falls. We are gald that keen travellers can actually go to Norman Carr's site and make relevant bookings.

As Norman Carr put it on their website:

Please note that all of our safari packages are tailor-made, this itinerary is just a suggestion and can be amended to better fit your requirements.

Cheers,

Travel Zambia: Informative Guide to Zambia

noreply@blogger.com (Zambia Web 2.0) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:00:00 +0000

Hello there,

You could call this Zambia's Conde Nast Traveller and I won't pick a fight with you.

Packed with information ranging from the best trails for bush walks to Zambia's attractions such as the magnificent Victoria Falls, Travel Zambia does what most have been hoping to see on the local seen in terms of a detailed information guide.

Issues such as the Lusaka Lowdown and Lusaka happening need not worry as their customer target seems far beyond being touched by Travel Zambia: TZ is targeted at the seasoned international traveller who sees all things Zambian as not only new, but also interesting and worth relishing in.

There is a section, for example, dedicated to restoring the rhino population, a project currently led by Claire Lewis.

Travel Zambia is a welcome publication as it informs, advises and enlightens. The contributors' list reads like a who's who of the travel industry, ranging from Anne Devereux to Chris McIntyre

Look around for it in Lusaka

A Season of Rain

noreply@blogger.com (Zambia Web 2.0) — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 03:55:00 +0000

Hi friends,

We have been experiencing rains so heavy some parts of the roads in the Southern Province have been washed away.

Luckily, our Chinese partners have been so helpful to the point that by January 2, 2008, they had done more than half of the road. Supplies that keep the world running (petrol and mealie meal in some parts), at least by our standards here, went completely out of stock.

Maize is our staple food, and if it continues pounding, a good harvest will be severely threatened.

See you
