When heavy rains arrive and rivers begin to swell, it can feel sudden and unsettling from a human perspective. Roads disappear, bridges close, and familiar landmarks change almost overnight. But what about our wildlife? The recent flooding in the Lowveld - with levels of rainfall not seen in over 25 years - has prompted many to ask this very question. And while floods can certainly bring challenges, they also mark the beginning of renewal, abundance, and change.

Ever wondered what happens to lodge linen or game drive blankets once they’re no longer “guest-ready”? Or what impact your guest donation has had on vulnerable children?

From supporting endangered vultures in crisis to helping feed over 250 vulnerable children a day, we are reminded that even simple acts can create meaningful impact.
