Dear DAKTARI supporters,
As always, I am very exciting to let you know about the latest news developments from the camp. It is a big pleasure to share with you, extraordinary supporters, all our pulsating adventures.
The cold nights of winter are almost behind us now and everybody is welcoming the sunny and hot days with joy. The lessons are still running well. In the same time, the volunteers have even been organising some games with the kids all around the camp. A race between the "Leopards" Team and the "Lions" Team. Both kids and volunteers had a very good time.
What can I tell you that you don't know yet?
We were visited by NOS Jeugdjournaal, a Dutch TV crew, who came to do a short documentary about children's stories from all over the world. The children were under the spotlight for a day, with the chance to tell other children about their environmental experience at DAKTARI. This programme from the Dutch TV deals with common daily news made understandable for Dutch children. We are very proud to have accomodated them!
The 10 best kids of the last weeks at DAKTARI had the chance to go on a Game Drive at Tsakane Safari Camp, located in the Balule Nature Reserve. We are so grateful that Tsakane could sponsor them. The Head Ranger of Tsakane took them for a three-hour game drive where they were so excited to see lions, giraffes and elephants. He also gave them a short presentation on water ecology and conservation.

Remember that, in the last report, I mentioned our Build4DAKTARI project. So far, the campaign has been going well and we've finished building the office extension and one of the ablution block. Volunteers also have helped with the building, painting the white walls with lots of colours, flowers and animals! The result is impressive!
Release of a spotted owl
DAKTARI received a call that a spotted owl was found, stuck in the fence. We were afraid that he would not be able to fly again so we took him to the vet. After taking care of him and nursing him back to full health, we released him! It was such a joy to see him fly again!!
Welcome of a new meerkat
Moholoholo Rehabilitation Center found a meerkat completly abandoned. Knowing that Meerkats are not from this area and that they need to live in group, they took him and gave him to DAKTARI. This sassy female met our 2 guys Gaspar and Tikki and the introduction seems to be going very well...
