THE EXTRAORDINARY
The location of the lodge is simply magical. The action often takes place right under your nose, without even leaving the lodge... From the Fish Eagle Bar, you might see a pack of wild dogs corner an impala and devour it on the spot. And to perfect your knowledge on the subject, you could visit the nearby Wild Dog Research Camp and chat with passionate naturalists who dedicate a period of their lives to studying these amazing African wild dogs.
ETHICS
Belmond’s "Think Global, Act Local" approach is applied differently from one property to another. In Botswana, the lodge fulfils several missions:
- Valorisation of local resources: providing jobs for neighbouring villagers, buying local foodstuffs
- Environmental protection: sort waste, limit plastic, focus on renewable energy (solar)
- Conservation projects: supporting projects such as "Wild Entrust Africa", which promotes the co-existence of local populations with predators
