The Thanda Safari ranger participants, Vusi Gumede and Siyabonga Zulu are both in the Thanda Safari Reaction Team. Finally, to create awareness for the significant work that Project Rhino is doing.īailey is doing a 100km run through Thanda Safari’s vast open spaces – Big 5 territory – in the northern reaches of Zululand, where the Great Rift Valley meets the Lebombo Mountains, over two days, Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 July, with some armed Thanda Anti-Poaching Rangers escorting him and his team.īailey will be accompanied by former Sharks Captain and Springbok rugby player, Keegan Daniel and Chris Kingsley, co-founder of Sport for Lives ( The former bodyguard of Nelson Mandela, Rory Steyn will be joining them on Sunday only. The aim of Run for Rangers is to create awareness for the rangers – to raise funds to aid them in all aspects from training to assisting the K9 unit and rangers as well as their families, to aerial support, to community education and engagement, and to bring an awareness to the predicament that rangers face with regards to the effects of poaching.
The motivation for the Run for Rangers event comes from Harry Bailey, a young Grade 12 Hilton College learner with a passion for wildlife and a desire to champion the often forgotten, but true heroes – the rangers, the hidden warriors and protectors of the national treasure, our wildlife.īailey is a young man on a mission! Conservation is central to the lifeblood of many communities across South Africa, and if there is no wildlife, there will be no tourism… the adverse knock-on effects will be significant. Thanda Safari, a private game reserve in KZN, is proud to announce that it is hosting – appropriately in July, International World Ranger Month – in partnership with the Sport for Lives movement and Project Rhino, a Run for Rangers weekend event from Friday 8 to Sunday 10 July 2022.

Quite an adventure!īoth my Fiancé and I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Bryony at Heartveld Adventures, who organised this trip for us. We were even lucky enough to meet the resident lion pride and to take part in a valiant effort to rescue an elephant stuck along the edge of Lake Kariba. It was often just my Fiancé and I doing the activities, so it was a very personal experience. Our guide ‘Little Max’ was fantastic, very knowledgable and made every effort to ensure we did everything we wanted. The range of activities is outstanding we stayed for 4 nights and went on game drives, game walks, sunset cruises, night time drives, evening sun downers to watch the sunset over the lake and visited the local Tonga village. A must to visit for a romantic, relaxing and yet exciting break away. The staff there couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating.īumi is a small hotel with only 10 rooms, therefore it has a very intimate feel and so much attention to detail. WOW! Such an absolutely beautiful place in a stunning setting. We had a magical stay and after a very warm welcome by the staff we were shown around. The scenery flying over Kariba and experience was amazing. We reached the hotel via a small aeroplane and a short 20 minute flight which was brilliant. We visited Bumi Hills Safari Lodge and Spa which is positioned on remote hills overlooking Lake Kariba. Bryony at Heartveld Adventures recently organised the holiday of a lifetime in Kariba for my fiancé.
