EARTH HOUR AT SABI SABI

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sabi Sabi has once again committed to its support of Earth Hour and will be turning off the electric lights at all of our lodges from 8:30PM – 9:30PM on March 27th, 2010. While every evening at Sabi Sabi has an element of Earth Hour to it - romantic dinners lit by the gentle glow of oil lamps, roaring boma fires bathed in the moonlight and brilliant starlight of the African night skies - extra steps will be taken at that hour in solidarity with the worldwide initiative.
"Conserving the environment is a major cornerstone of Sabi Sabi's philosophy. We think that Earth Hour is a wonderful concept that allows everyone to make a positive contribution to the environment," says Group Operations Director, Rod Wyndham. "We have challenged all of our team members to photographically capture the magic of Earth Hour and look forward to sharing those images in a future newsletter."

SABI SABI WELCOMES FOUR NEW TRAINEE GUIDES
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2010
DANIA, FL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Over the past 30 years, Sabi Sabi has become recognized as a leader in the field of ranger/guide training, with aspiring game rangers clamoring for a chance to take part in the demanding courses. The selection process is intensive for those hoping to qualify and ultimately become one of the reserve’s renowned guides.
The first step is the initial interview, where potential candidates are rigorously assessed by the senior safari managers. Sabi Sabi is known the world over for the exceptional caliber of its safari team, and only the very best make it past this first interview. Besides testing their safari knowledge, the managers make sure that the would-be guides are empathic, perceptive, and insightful, and carry that special brand of warmth that is synonymous with everyone who calls Sabi Sabi home.Once past this first step, the top six to eight candidates are invited to join the highly intensive course which takes place at Nkombe Camp, a tented facility situated in a remote section of the Sabi Sabi bushveld. The curriculum is comprehensive. Conservation and the principles of ecology, wild animal behavior and safety procedures in a Big 5 environment, bird identification, the identification and uses of the indigenous plants and trees, and of course, conducting day, night and walking safaris, all form part of the training course. Trainees are also taught the etiquette of interacting with guests from many different cultures around the world. By the time they graduate as qualified rangers, they will have become environmental educators, spreading the message of conservation nationally and internationally.
On the last day of the course, final interviews are conducted, and a select panel of senior managers and staff decides who will fit the profile of a Sabi Sabi field guide.
