Damara Living Museum, Twyfelfontein-Namibia

The Living Museum of the Damara which is close to Twyfelfontein, is the first traditional Damara project in Namibia and the only one of its kind, opened in February 2010.

The possibility to experience the traditional Damara Culture in this form exists nowhere else in Namibia or in the World! Together with the Bushmen the Damara belong to the oldest nations in Namibia. Their original Culture was a mixture of an archaic hunter-gatherer culture and herders of cattle, goats and sheep. Due to their loose social structures the Damara were not able to defend themselves against aggressors during the colonization of Namibia.

Within the framework of the Living Museum of the Damara an attempt was made to reconstruct the 'lost culture' of the Damara. Visitors have the unique opportunity to get to know the fascinating traditional Culture of the Damara, thus contributing to the preservation of the Culture as well as to a regular income for the Damara Community that built the Museum.

Anglo Boer War Museum, Bloemfontein

One of the most significant events in the history of South Africa was the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. Although the protagonists were Britain and the two Boer Republics, the population of South Africa as a whole became embroiled in the war either directly or indirectly. The War Museum in Bloemfontein does not only give the visitor insight into the Boer War through it`s unique art collection, dioramas and exhibits but also brings the visitor closer to understanding the background against which the war took place. The outcome was bitterness, hatred, dispossession and division for many decades to come. More than a Century later South Africans can look back at this event as a shared tragedy that shaped the social, political, economic and historical landscape of South Africa as we know it today. The museum not only provides the visitor with an insight into the course and development of the Anglo-Boer War through its unique collection and exhibitions, but it also brings the visitor closer to understanding the background against which the war took place and the universal suffering it caused.
A visit to the War Museum is an absolute necessity for anyone who wants to understand the History of South Africa.

Skukuza Airport, Mpumalanga

Prior to the commencement of scheduled flights to Skukuza Airport on 2 June 2014, the Airport Runway was repaired and resurfaced. Work to rehabilitate the Terminal Building, which incorporated more Natural elements of the original structures and new brand new infrastructure to make the Airport compliant with International standards was also completed!

The completed Airport is now able to process a total of 400 passengers Daily and a total of 20 Aircraft movements per Day (this tallys to a combination of: '10 arrivals and 10 departures'. Also included are Lodge Feeder Flights and Charter Flights) The reintroduction of daily scheduled air services to Skukuza Airport, which is located within the Kruger National Park in close proximity to the San Parks’ Skukuza Camp. This is a significant step forward in the process of improving visitor convenience and access to this 'World Renowned Wild Life Destination!'

Beyond its operational role, Skukuza Airport stands as a testament to South Africa's commitment to conservation. The airport management, in collaboration with park authorities, has implemented various eco-friendly practices to minimize its environmental impact. These initiatives range from waste management and renewable energy utilization to wildlife preservation efforts, ensuring that the Airport operates harmoniously within the Kruger Park's delicate ecosystem!

The Skukuza Airport operates in compliance with the South African Civil Aviation regulations (As well as international policy ‐ ICAO applicable to Cat 5 and Part 121, scheduled passenger Transportation.) Accordingly multiple aspects of the original Airport Terminal required modification and extension to bring the Airport in line with current Airport security and passenger processing regulations.

The key objective of the enhanced Building design was to achieve minimum impact on the Ecosystem. With the new Building additions and modifications being in harmony with the existing design as well as having limited intrusive visual impact on the surroundings. "Accordingly the top of the roofing of the new structures has been kept at or below the existing Building roof line and a principle design objective has been to blend the structure into the trees and foliage, incorporating existing trees within the new structure. The Building therefore from an Architectural purist perspective seeks to make its statement from its form and functionality and not necessarily the external presentation of the structure itself! Set within the bush of the Sabi Sands, the Runway is so tiny, its barely visible from the air - and you'll have plenty of fun trying to spot game as you land! It's probably one of the most beautiful Airports you will ever visit with giant globe chandeliers, African decor, and a life-sized statue of a rhino guiding you through the short and stress-free walk from plane to baggage collection (which is really just a man carrying your bags through a small hole in the wall and setting them on a wooden platform under a thatched roof). There's barely a wait for your bags but keep an eye out for the Vervet monkeys who are ready to grab hold of a shiny object if you're not careful!"

"The Airport is the easiest and fastest way to Travel to one of the largest Natural Wildlife Reserves in the World, allowing more time to enjoy your holiday!"
