July 2010
- The Park celebrated its 50th anniversary as a National Park this July - an event attended by the Minister of Tourism as well as other key dignitaries from across the spectrum of politics, conservation, human development, and tourism...yay! Greg joined us in camp for the celebration of this event.
- And in even BIGGER news, Gorongosa Mountain is now officially part of the National Park after a landmark decision by the Government of Mozambique - this is great news!
June 2010
May 2010
- Our partner, Susan Reis, made her first visit to the Park last
month and by all accounts she is now also a real Gorongosa convert.
With her and Greg's help, the project continues to expand on its
authentic experiential safari roots, and we hope to see them both back
at Explorers again soon.
- We also completed our first recce exploration of the Limestone Gorges on the eastern escarpment of the Park. Together with 5 intrepid explorers from Maputo, we had some good times trekking and adventuring in the gorges and along the stunning limestone cliffs. Read more about it in our May Bush Blog entry...
April 2010
Rob & Jos completed a 3-week marketing roadshow through the States
and the UK in late March and early April. They visited many operators,
agents, friends, and family on this very productive safari to the
"civilised world"... thanks to all those who hosted us, entertained us,
met with us, and those who just kinda hung out with us wild bush-bats
from Mozambique (Francie, Chris, Neil, Carey, Greg, Charles, April, Rich,
Diana, Eric, Sarah and co...)
March 2010
We ran our first safari for 2010 in early March - trialing out the wet season... and what a trial it was! The rains came quite late this year in Gorongosa and as such left the place somewhat water-logged. Thanks to Fran and Grant for being such troopers and for putting up with Rob's terrible wit. We look forward to seeing you back in Gorongosa in somewhat drier times!
February 2010
Our staff are back in Gorongosa after a couple of months break at home for the wet season, now undergoing a refresher training course under the very able tuition of our Number One: Cassius. Some of them have recently also spent some time as apprentices in some regional hotels and lodges. They are all excited an rearing to go for 2010 - we could not be luckier with our staff and their approach to work here at Explore Gorongosa...
