My first safari with our new water filtration system
We have been running our first safaris with our new water filter system on our safari vehicles now. I have been on a Leopard Safari for the last 3 weeks and I was quite excited to see how it would affect the daily life on safari and if we would feel any difference at all.
MY SAFARI EXPERIENCE by Moitshephi Lorato Choto
First of all who knew taking up on a new life and new challenge would be amazing and breathtaking. Had someone told me sooner, I would have long quit teaching and become a translator. I recently started a new job as a translator with Bush Ways and I got the best pleasure to be thrown right in the mix at the get go.

Bush Ways’ new generation of drinking water on mobile safaris
From this season on we will provide our guests on our mobile safaris with clean, fresh drinking water throughout the safari, right from the vehicle. For a few months now we have been working on equipping our vehicles with special tanks and a water filtration system. As we are operating in wilderness areas where environmental protection is one of our biggest concerns, we have come to the decision that we can no longer accept taking bottled water on our mobile safaris.

Our Environmental Club was out in the bush – Bush Ways Foundation and Elephants for Africa
Between the 10th and 13th of May 2019, thirty standard seven students from Khumaga Primary School came into the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park for 24-hours each. Accompanying the students were eight parents and teachers. During each two-day, one-night trip, the participants went on two game drives, heard from a range of professionals in the conservation and tourism industries, participated in multiple activities and heard about Elephants for Africa’s (EfA’s) research activities.

Safaris in the green or rainy season
Generally one would say Botswana is known for its sunny clear skies almost all year round giving perfect sunset and sunrise views. However there are life giving summer rains marking the start of green season. After the rains, the landscape is left lush, green and beautiful.
Bush Ways’ first female guide
The profession of a guide is still more or less known as a men’s world. You need to be strong, you have to read the behaviour of animals, you have to protect people – all qualities that are well known for men. But this is not completely true, women as well can do this job, we are now living in a very modern and advanced world where also ladies can become guides… 🙂
