At last some of you may say, but here it is, the long awaited “newsletter”! Some of you were probably excepting a newsletter every quarter not every quarter of a century…… The newsletter
is to give you a brief update on what has been happening and is
planned at Brothers Safaris so you can plan your next visit here
accordingly, and know what excitement and fun you are missing
out on in the interim! Since our last newsletter a few things have changed within the business too, my partner Becky is now helping in the office so it truly is a family run business. We are moving away from trying to handle the Traditional Tours and Safaris and African Vet Safaris in-house, and have thus teamed up with Q2 Travel in Pretoria in order to provide a dedicated consultant dealing with all our traditional leisure and tailor-made tour enquiries, while our office focuses on our African Vet Safaris Portfolio. Q2 Travel and this new partnership will ensure even better service than before. Another bonus for you as our client is that we can assure you that this service comes at the same competitive, or even better, rates compared to before. By teaming up with Q2 this just means that our offices can focus more on the African Vet Safaris Portfolio. This changed has proven to be a very positive move for Brothers Safaris. It has been a busy year to date for us and with our big Tourism Show in Durban coming up – Indaba - and private wildlife working picking up, along with all our other AVS departures set from May through to October - things are just crazy!! A new programme that we have running this year is Veterinary Science in Wildlife Management & Conservation. This safari takes you ‘behind the scenes’, giving you the opportunity to interact with researchers, ecologists, vets and guides while discovering the fantastic world of wildlife in Southern Africa, from a Veterinary perspective. You will also meet with colleagues from across the world, and share with them on a professional and social level. There are also traditional activities and wildlife viewing included in the programme, thus making the programme ideal for first time visitors and non-vet partners too. This year we have three Wildlife Immobilisation & Conservation courses running. This course is intended to give Veterinary students the opportunity to gain some technical knowledge involved in wildlife veterinary practice in South Africa and the immobilisation of wildlife, and uses theory and practical to achieve this aim. Students will receive lectures on a wide variety of topics, and will also be given practical demonstrations and opportunities to practice certain skills. Only a few spots are left on this year’s courses, so contact us quickly if you are interested! We have reviewed the Big Cat Safaris (excellent all round safari and great value for money!) and have several set departures available, as well as a new species specific safari focusing on Elephant & Black Rhino! This is a very exciting and unique safari opportunity, and starts in the Hartebeespoort area at the Elephant Sanctuary, before moving to northern Kwazulu Natal where we track elephant and black rhino and get involved with the conservation programmes running in the reserve! We of course enjoy good all round game viewing as part of the safari too, including water based excursions. We also have
lion
immobilisation, rhino
immobilisation and elephant
immobilisation safaris available for this year, some
which have to be done soon, co contact us straight away if you’re
interested in any of these! So as you can see things for Brothers Safaris have really moved forward and things are full steam ahead! Thank you for reading and I promise that the next newsletter won’t take me over 2 years to write... African regards, Peter &
