Wildside Safari Camp damaged by bush fire
A BUSH fire broke out at Entabeni Safari Conservancy in the
Waterberg region of Limpopo after the veld had been struck by
lightning on October 8. Wildside Safari Camp was severely damaged
by the flames and about 2 500 hectares of the 22 000-hectare
conservancy burned down.
The reception, lounge, bar area and nine of the 20 thatched canvas
rooms were destroyed by the fire. The restaurant, office, curio shop
and other 11 rooms have not been damaged. The camp will be
closed for the rest of the month and will reopen towards the end of
November. Guests booked over this period will be upgraded to one
of the other Entabeni lodges.
