Great things are really coming our way ! Yahoo!!

We were recommended by our friend, Sandy Kelly to his contact at Birdlife Botswana, Harold Hester (Chairman BirdLife Botswana,Nature Chobe Project leader) and Kabelo Senyatso (Director BirdLife Botswana, Nature Chobe Project deputy leader) who were looking to promote Nature Chobe.

Nature Chobe is a new conservation project that is being driven by Birdlife Botswana. One of its aims is educating people in a sustainable way of life. It is in its initial phase of development and we are very proud to be part of this innovative project.

Here are some frame grabs from the 4K stock footage that we shot............

We flew up to Kasane, Botswana and spent our time shooting for a promotional film for Nature Chobe. We also managed a visit to the African Falcon Services and met Megan Stewart, Ricardo Soriano and their amazing team in Pandamatenga, Botswana. Their exceptional work at protecting farmers crops from the devastating flocks of red billed Quelea using Falcons is phenomenal.

We were also fortunate to meet and interview Jonathan Gibson(CEO Chobe Holdings Ltd), who donated 48ha of land for the Nature Chobe Site and Prof Mike Bruton (Mike Bruton Imagineering, Managing and Advisory Consultant for Nature Chobe) who is internationally recognised for his work. We feel truly privileged to have shared time with such a dedicated and dynamic team.

Having managed to film some outstanding footage and interviews, we wish the Nature Chobe team everything of the best and look forward to working together again.

**Updated December 2020 - We can regrettably no longer endorse this Liveaboard**

We were thrilled to be invited to join the “Barker and Friends Trip” on our favourite Seven Seas liveaboard to Raja Ampat, Indonesia and it was an outstanding trip filled with our fantastic Seven Seas crew, fabulous diving with large schools of fish, beautiful breath taking top side scenery and to top it all a group of warm, friendly divers!! Wow, how lucky where we?

The Seven seas Cruise Director Karl Klingeler, the very experienced Captain Mr. Wahyudin Ismail and his team ensured we had a magical trip, looking after us with yummy food, exceptionally great diving and making sure that our every need was met.
