WS brings children closer to nature

Despite the beginning of the tourism peak season, Wilderness Safaris closed the doors of its Khwai Discoverer Bush Camp to host 12 students from Seronga, Beetsha, Gunotsoga, Eretsha and Gudigwa.

The children between the ages of 10-17 were flown to the Delta for six days of environmental education and therapeutic recreation. They benefited from The Children in the Wilderness Botswana programme, locally known as Bana ba Naga,which is now in its 12th year of operation. The programme was set up by WS in 2001, with the assistance and support of actor Paul Newman and his philanthropic association known as 'The Association of Hole in the Wall Camps'. It has grown from strength to strength in seven countries, including Botswana, where WS does business.
