People and infrastructure

It's pretty quiet here; the rains have started.  Mark Pilgrim, Conservation Director of Chester Zoo and Maggie Esson, Education Director of Chester Zoo, have just spent time here looking at the environmental education programme and the rhino sanctuary.

TANAPA have visited a few times and the plant machinery (both the Trust's and TANAPA's) have moved on to the Kavateta Dam to start desilting work

The District Commissioner of Mwanga, Mr Mdoe, has just come in to see the wild dogs.  He is a great fan of Mkomazi National Park and it is always a pleasure to host him. He was visiting with TANAPA and guests from Sweden to look at issues that the park is facing, mainly the need to extend its water sources.

Mr Mungure visited (the original Wildlife Division Project Manager of Mkomazi Game Reserve who started working on its rehabilitation in 1979) and on a drive to Maore saw good numbers of wildlife including a return of the oryx.  He was thrilled.
