Thanks to all the teams involved – the fires are out and checks will be done in the morning to be sure there are no flare ups. Thanks must go to a number of people:
NWUFPA for their support the last 2 days
WoF teams from Kgaswane, Vaalkop, and Pilansberg
Rebel fire in Rustenburg area
All the park staff that assisted
All the lodge guides at the fires and lodge support in terms of drinks and food – this help is priceless and hugely appreciated
Our 2 pilots Brandon Baker and Tinashe Chabvonga – you guys are the best
Reatlegile our Nat Con student – you will be a leader one day
Joti Daya
Steve Dell and Lottie Marais, you are true leaders and heroes – Thank you is not enough!
The cost to restore can hopefully be calculated soon and we hope repairs can get started. Thanks EWT for the good support and Shelley Vagionakis and Isa Carter for the food packages today. Thank you Patrick at Kwa Maritane for sorting out accommodation for the fire teams. Thanks Danie and Lwazi from Sun City Resorts for your assistance today soon as I called on you. Those I didn’t know about or have forgotten to mention – thank you for the support. This is the last fire line leading up to Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge. The end we hope! Thanks for all the support and well wishes. It carried everyone through what can only be described as a horrendous experience.
