Adventure by Wilderness Safari to be Auctioned Off at Empowers Africa Event on April 23

Ready for an adventure in Africa? Here’s an opportunity to have a trip of a lifetime and support the critically endangered black rhino at the same time. Empowers Africa is hosting its Annual Event on April 23rd, 2015 and will auction several amazing safaris. This safari in Botswana has been generously donated by WILDERNESS SAFARIS (www.wilderness-safaris.com) Empowers Africa will grant 100% of the proceeds from this safari to Wilderness Wildlife Trust in support of its black rhino relocation to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. The relocation to Botswana will provide this extremely endangered species a safe refuge from the constant threat of poaching
This 6 night package includes all lodging, meals, safari activities and charter flights.
• 2 nights at Xigera Camp in the Okavango Delta
• 2 nights at Little Vumbura Camp in the Okavango Delta
• 2 nights at Savuti Camp in the Linyanti region
Xigera Camp lies in the Okavango Delta floodplains surrounded by deep channels and lush vegetation. The camp has ten raised luxury tents with en-suite facilities, an outdoor shower – and superb views of the floodplains that surround the camp.
Little Vumbura is situated on a beautiful Okavango island where its six tented rooms are shaded by the canopy of an ancient Okavango Delta forest. Xigera and Vumbura Plains offer seasonal viewing of elephant, giraffe, impala, sable antelope, kudu, zebra, common waterbuck and reedbuck, tsessebe, wildebeest, red lechwe and Cape buffalo.
Savuti Camp is located right on the once-dry Savute Channel, to which abundant game has returned ever since it became a deep, clear waterway again: it is now home to hippo and aquatic life with myriad waterbirds. This intimate camp’s en-suite accommodation is in seven large walk-in tents that are raised off the ground and face onto the Channel. The Linyanti has diverse and prolific wildlife including a very large elephant population.
