A huge honor indeed

The Vuyani Safari Lodge has recently been added to an up-and-coming website called “The EcoCompanion”. Their credo is to give advise on the various options if one wants to travel in a sustainable and eco-friendly manner.

Well, we don’t shoot lions here … we re-introduced them instead, and then so much more: cheetahs, rhinos, even the super rare black rhinos, elephants, hippos, giraffes, … they all now roam are vast reserve, making it one of the most exciting animal conservation projects in South Africa. Believe me: hunting is not a good or the only way of preserving these rare animals. Quite the opposite: true wildlife diversity and conservation is the result of safari tourism where people shoot photos, not animals. The success of “no hunting” reserves is, thank God, much larger than these sad hunting reserves, and the conservation successes are equally bigger. So much for my educated opinion when it comes to the current discussion that is happening worldwide after the tragic death of Lion Cecil.

So, in that spirit, it was great to see us being added to this website! Great news indeed.
