Bird Hide
A wonderfully peaceful viewing spot. The traditional reed and thatch
hide overlooks one of the small pans where water is retained all year
round. Stay a while and quietly watch the many birds and animals which
come here. Buy our Bird List from reception and see how many of the
regulars you can spot.
Accommodation
The camping and chalet facilities at Mokongwa Camp are a short drive
from the Entrance Gate and are accessible without four-wheel drive. The
chalets are popular so it is best to book in advance at Reception or
the Sanctuary Office. We do take bookings for camping.
There are 13 campsites, including sites for
large groups. The central feature of each site is a large Mokongwa tree
which provides both character and shade. There is also a fireplace,
braai stand with grill, and tap with birdbath. The campsites are served
by two communal ablution blocks. The Education Centre also has a
campsite. There is dormitory accommodation at the Education
Centre as well. Contact our office for details.
Our rustic chalets sleep four people. Each
chalet has a toilet and shower en-suite with hot water, bedding and
towels are provided. Situated by a Mokongwa tree, you will also find a
fireplace, braai stand with grill and tap with birdbath.
The A-frame is a two-storey chalet which
sleeps up to six people and is situated at Boma camp on the edge of
Serwe Pan. It has a bush toilet, a hot shower and also braai
facilities. Bedding and towels are provided.

Environmental Education
In accordance with one of our main objectives, we can offer educational
tours of the Sanctuary to schools or any other group of interested
people. To accompany this we have developed a range of educational
materials in line with the schools curriculum. Wildlife Clubs and other
volunteers can take part in conservation workcamps. Buses are not
allowed around the Sanctuary, but we can organise a game drive in our
own vehicles.
Our New Facility - The Environmental
Education Centre
The KRS EEC is uniquely sited within the
Khama Rhino Sanctuary. There is a large multi-purpose hall. There are
two 24-bed student dormitories and there is accommodation for up to
eight teachers or supervisors (2 per room - ensuite facilities).
There is also a self-catered camping area with running water and a
small ablution block.
There are several activity areas and there is an investigative nature
trail. There is an opportunity for groups to experience game drives
with knowledgeable game scouts.
Displays are being prepared and enhanced. Printed materials and
resources are being built up. Video materials support the programme.
There is a team of energetic education
officers and facilitators which works with student groups and is
continually designing and testing original environmental material and
related activities.
 |
Our Basic Philosophy is
governed by four principles:
-
-
-
Activities are learner-centred.
-
Activities are experiential.
|
We use a multi-discipline
approach with activities that range across all subject areas.
Our program is multi-levelled
(lower primary, upper primary, junior high school, senior high school,
tertiary and adult).
We key our material and activities to the
environmental curriculum wherever possible.
Our goal is to send
students and their teachers back to their classrooms with a range of
experiences and ideas to enhance their studies. We challenge them to
carry out further projects and investigations in the realm of
environmentalism.
RESOURCES:
-
A series of booklets already in print
(thanks to the Environmental Heritage Foundation of Botswana Trust and
a team of teachers and educators) and is under continual revision,
refinement and expansion.
-
A series of activities keyed to these
booklets and to environmental curriculum areas and issues which engage
the students in enjoyable outdoor pursuits and give them memorable
experiences on which to base their further reading and academic
exercises.
-
A full range of fun-filled activities
and amusing games that differ from what students normally encounter.
We at KRS EEC feel that our facility is an
extension of the classroom to the outdoors - to the environment. As a
result, we encourage visits during the school term
and during the school week wherever possible. Our
facility can also be used for conferences at the weekends.
