Wilderness Safaris

[PDF] Kalahari Plains Camp – response to continued allegations

The CKGR is a game reserve and has been open to tourism for more than a decade with more than 36 campsites for public and overland safari company use spread throughout the reserve but with greatest concentrations in the north...We then set about developing the camp and engaging with the broader community...in a transparent process...We felt at the time of tendering that the matter under dispute was over access to water and that this was a matter between the Government and the Bushman Communities...Wilderness Safaris is in the business of building sustainable conservation economies, with ecotourism the economic engine or catalyst for those economies. The provision of water to a widely scattered Bushman community in a 5 million hectare (12 million acre) area is beyond our capacity. Wilderness Safaris is not a water utility and its business model is not robust enough to carry this responsibility.
