Description
Life with Elephants and Helicopter Scenic Adventure
Learn how the Ecoexist NGO project seeks to reduce conflict and foster coexistence between elephants and people. Elephants are majestic, intelligent creatures that require large amounts of resources to survive, bringing them into conflict with subsistence farmers living along the edge of the Okavango Delta.
Ecoexist hopes to empower farmers with practical, affordable, and effective tools to deter crop-raiding and to increase the value of elephants for the village and encourage their conservation. Gain a deeper understanding of the community’s challenges of day to day living with elephants in a discussion with the village elders. After traditional singing and dancing, you will then be taken on a walk to experience all aspects of village life.
The helicopter transfer from Maun to Eretsha Village is iconic in itself. Moments after lifting off you witness sweeping views of the seasonal floodplains at the extremities of the Delta and as you make your way further north, you notice the change to the permanent channels and papyrus swamps of the panhandle. This is an opportunity to view a variety of wildlife dependent on these different habitats.
