African Wild Dog – tireless hunter

30/01/2018 Martin Photography, South Africa, Travel, Wild Dog, Wildlife

When the first African Wild Dog appeared, trotting around the bend towards us, we had no idea of the adventure that was about to unfold. But, within moments, three more dogs followed the first one into view and Neil, our guide, knew straight away, “They’re hunting.” Up to that point, our game drive had been quite sedate. We’d seen a[…]

There are a variety of reasons for which people will remember 2020. For the Imvelo family, our people and wildlife, it will be a year we remember as one of hope, despite its numerous challenges. Complementing a vast network of partners, donors and friends who generously supported us; together, we have been able to have an impact on wildlife protection and community upliftment that can be valued at over $700,000 for 2020 alone. A glimpse of our 2020 community and conservation projects here, reveal the scale of this impact, especially in terms of food security, conservation, community wellbeing, water security, healthcare and education.

Impacts have been felt by our communities through our village lunch program, our food aid deliveries, our climate smart seeds project, our borehole drilling and maintenance initiatives, our compassionate ration packs, our activities with the Ngamo Lions Soccer Academy, our efforts on the Sidinda and Ngamo clinic projects and our Smile Roadshow.

We have also impacted conservation notably through our water for wildlife program with solar hybrid pumps supplying millions of litres of water to wildlife, as well as through our Cobras Community Wildlife Protection Unit. The unit is now made up of 25 men who engage in anti-poaching patrols, human wildlife conflict resolution and conservation education - all critical work on the frontline.

As we take a moment to reflect on this impact - we want to say a sincere thank you to everyone that contributed, we are extremely grateful for all the support we received - every cent counted and was put to good use. Looking ahead to 2021 now, we have ambitious goals and many people counting on us. To join our mission to bring positive change and help those most in need please do visit - https://www.imvelosafarilodges.com/hwange-needs-you.html

However the best help you could give us is to come on a safari to the Imvelo camps in Hwange. That impact would be tremendous - not only would you be visiting some of the most game rich areas in Africa offering an unforgettable safari experience but the morale booster for the local communities and your tourism dollar makes all the difference to keeping our National Parks alive and helping us to protect our precious wildlife as well as continue the outreach support to the most vulnerable communities. This will be the ultimate purposeful safari.

An enormous thank you again from the whole Imvelo team. We are open, we are travel ready and we remain hopeful that despite complicated times, we will be able to maintain our community and conservation initiatives through 2021.

Tarangire National Park is reknowned for being the home of elephants, grouped in masses around the 2850 square kilometres of park.

This group of elephants, also known as a memory, have a little surprise hidden among them.

Who can spot the little tusker?

DIRECTOR’S NOTE – Q4

I’m sure I speak for us all when I say “good riddance” to 2020. It was a year filled with unimaginable challenges. And if it was hard for us, then I’m sure it was equally difficult for our supporters around the world. I am overwhelmed with gratitude that we were able to keep our rangers in the field and our core operations running at a time when so many could not. It would not have been possible without our supporters and partners.

We had some tremendous successes in spite of the odds. Reviewing our numbers, I have to pinch myself: it’s another year with ZERO elephants and ZERO rhinos poached in our area of operation. These 10 plus years building up our anti-poaching programs with our community rangers have really paid off.

Our rangers excel at being nimble and adapting to rapidly changing conditions. In the 4th quarter, they also arrested 10 suspects for bushmeat poaching and 26 for trophy possession, removed 95 snares, prevented 25 crop-raids by elephants, prevented 4 lions hunts with our partners, and responded to 23 bushfires.

But our rangers aren’t the only ones who had to make dramatic changes to their operations on account of COVID-19. Our community programs also took a huge hit. Since it wasn’t safe for people to gather at clinics, we instead organized back-pack nurses to provide remote assistance. And our community health volunteers were able to safely conduct household visits, reaching more than 21,000 people with information about both COVID prevention and family planning. Schools are also starting to reopen, which is so critical for the student’s development and the health of the community overall.

New challenges await us of course, especially as we fight to keep habitat safe from development for wildlife and livestock to continue to use. We’ll keep you posted as everything unfolds.

In the meantime, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for seeing us through 2020.

Richard Bonham
Director of Operations in Kenya and Co-Founder
