Rhino Ops

This past week we have been very fortunate in hosting the Rhino Opperations Team here on Chishakwe.
They have been going out every day to monitor and track rhino and collect valuable information for their data base.  Some of the work that they have been conducting includes ear notching (for better future identification) and installing radio transmitters (for better tracking of the animals).

The team have a small aircraft that they use for spotting the Rhino and then use a helicopter to go in closer to enable them to dart individuals that need de-horning or ear tagging.



Here is a photo of the team with their bush savvy Helicoper.

We would like to also take this opportunity to thank the team for all their hard work in protecting this wonderful and rare species

Muvava Primary School

Every year Chishakwe sponsors 10 children their schollarships to attend Muvava Primary School.

We also do a project with the Grade 7 class every year.  This year we are doing to Food Chain.

As you can see in the photo the teachers are very excited to start the project and it should be completed in the next few months.

There after the projects will be judged and the 10 pupils with the best projects will be given a free conservation trip to Chishakwe where they will learn more about wildlife and habitats.

Pictures of the winners and their projects will be posted when the judging has been done.
