Our beloved Wendy, you were truly the heart and soul of Musango - there is a gaping hole where you once were. Your light will continue to shine forever, though all the people you touched in your life, though your family here at camp - a legacy that will never be forgotten. Wherever one looks at camp, you are there, in every detail. Your strength, grace and compassion will continue to inspire us all.

Golden hour at Musango is something special🌞

Picture this: the glow of sunset, a drink in hand, tasty bites to nibble on, and the gentle chorus of hippos and roosting birds. This is how we do evenings in the bush🌅🥂🍿🫒

It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved and well-known bushbuck, Shingi.💔

Shingi was brought to us as a young lamb in December 2005 by Mark Brightman, who had found her abandoned in a drain. Steve and Wendy Edwards, owners of Musango, took her in and lovingly nursed her back to health at the camp, where she grew up and became a friendly and familiar resident.

Over the years, Shingi had many babies of her own, raising them in the safety and comfort of the camp she knew as home. We estimate she had between 14 and 16 offspring, many of whom have since had young of their own and continue to live around the camp. Thanks to Shingi, we now have a thriving population of around 25–30 bushbuck who are regularly seen by our guests.

Shingi would have turned 20 this year—an extraordinary age, and among the oldest known for a bushbuck. Watching her grow and change over the years has been a true gift to all of us at Musango, as well as to the many guests who had the joy of meeting her. She became a very special part of our lives and leaves us with heavy hearts and beautiful memories.

Rest easy, sweet Shingi. You were truly one of a kind and we will never forget you.
