A shout out for the Bushcamp Company in Zambia - excellent stewards of community, land and wildlife with their inspiring eco safaris.

our ambitious project to provide safe, clean drinking water to villages in our local area is really beginning to make a difference? The traditional wells, dug laboriously in dried up river beds, are gradually being replaced with deep boreholes with efficient hand pumps that provide sufficient water…
