New on-line guide to the Kruger-to-Canyons Biosphere & South African Lowveld
Folks -
We've laboured long and hard to try to bring together something approaching a single on-line point of call for information of benefit to travellers to the UN-designated Kruger-to-Canyons Biosphere (K2C). In particular, we have developed a range of resources that we hope will be of interest to those who have visited, and now need to know more. Internet resources have historically been patchy (driven largely by the luxury safari lodges appealing to a wealthy foreign organised tour market) in South Africa's Central Lowveld, of which K2C forms a substantial part. The UNESCO Biosphere Programme recognises areas where there are particularly acute conflicts in the sustainable use of land and, in particular, between the relief of poverty and a degree of protection for threatened ecosystems. K2C is fortunate in having the tourist drawcards of the Kruger National Park and Blyde Canyon (the world's third largest, featuring stunning riparian scenery) within its boundaries, and it is hoped that tourism will drive economic development and social amelioration in an area where desperate poverty and a number of Africa's sub-Saharan modern ills are often found. We would welcome visitors to this new website, and their comments and thoughts on the evolving coverage. You may find it at http://www.kruger2canyons.com I commend those numerous members of the community that have contributed to it to you David |
