The proposal to build the hotel in the Chiawa Game Management Area on the Zambian side of the river, has shocked tour operators and conservationists in the region, and has been slammed as 'totally inappropriate' for the area. An advertisement has appeared in the Zambian newspapers asking for public comments and/or objections to on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) document for this development that has been submitted to the Environment Council of Zambia (ECZ) for approval. Submissions should reach the ECZ (see contact details below) NO LATER THAN 14th APRIL 2010 The Zambezi Society was first alerted to this through concerned Zambian tour operators and conservationists (not through the developers nor the consultant who completed the EIS). THE ZAMBEZI SOCIETY WILL MAKE A SUBMISSION BASED ON THIS MEMBERS CONSULTATION We wish to make an informed submission on behalf of our membership by the due date and are therefore asking ALL concerned Zambezi Society members to write to us URGENTLY with your comments on this proposal by the end of March 2010. A full copy of the Environmental Impact Statement for this hotel development can be downloaded from the internet at this link: http://mailhost.necz.org.zm/news/comments/eis-reports/Lower-Zambezi-Lodge. CAN I MAKE MY OWN SUBMISSION? IF SO - HOW? If you (or an organization that you represent) would like to submit a public comment or objection separately (or in addition) to that of The Zambezi Society, please feel free to do so. (e.g. The Lower Zambezi Tour Operators Association will be submitting separately on behalf of Mana Pools operators) Here's what you do: Step 1: Register your interest IMMEDIATELY by sending a short e-mail asking to be registered 'as an interested and affected party' to the author of the EIS document, consultant Shadreck Nsongela snsongela@zamtel.zm copied to Protea Hotels Zambia Director Adam Leithbridge director@arcades.co.zm Make sure you ask for an acknowledgement by return of e-mail, and keep bugging them until you get one. Step 2: Prepare your detailed comments and/or objections to the development and send before the 14th April 2010 by e-mail to: 1. The Manager, Inspectorate, Environmental Council of Zambia, jsakala@necz.org.zm and 2. Inspector, Chirundu Border Office, Environmental Council of Zambia, csimwanza@necz.org.zm Again, insist on an acknowledgement by return of e-mail. Remember "all the darkness in the world can't put out the light of one candle " ++++ 2) NOTICES ZIMBABWE INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR From the 20th to the 24th of April, the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) gives you the opportunity to step into one of the possibly most promising markets in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Please if you do come with your dogs please control them and poop-scooping would be appreciated. Also take care of your security. We have tried hard to improve matters at the Dams but walking alone talking on the cellphone with and valuables visible just invites problems. Annual Subscription Cards - April 2010 to March 2011 are now available. They cost US$ 40 per card. This entitles free access at the gate for the family (nuclear family only) for the year. No more need to dig around for change at the gate. If you would like to get yours please email estate@hillsidedams.com or leave a message at the Hillside Dams Boma (telephone 242490). We need details of the holder/family (name/s, address, telephone number and national id.) Previous entry cards will no longer be valid while I will be contacting those who have made substantial donations in the last year to the Conservancy to organise your cards. Please contact me if I forget. As before entry is free for all senior citizens, although if you can assist with a donation please do feel free. You shouldn't need a card but if you insist let us know. The boom at Banff Road operates Friday-Sunday and on and around public holidays. For reasons of security we are closing alternative entry points. Entry is still free on other days. We are always on the scrounge for things. Currently looking for any whitewash or damaged truck rims. If you assist please contact me. If you plan to hold a function in the Conservancy it would be appreciated if you could book beforehand. A donation would also be appreciated. We are a not for profit organisation and all money is put straight back into the Conservancy.

Dates must be around 1945 onwards .... Cheers Belinda ++++++++ Thanks for your balanced article. I was in Zim in October for the first time in 7 yrs where I visited the Falls as well as Hwange National Park. My family and I enjoyed thoroughly the of sight baboons sitting on what used to be billboards along the Bulawayo/Hwange road. Also, we found the service at the A'Zambezi where we stayed to be quite superb though the hotel had more staff than customers. I pray for the day when things will be back to normal in this beautiful country. If everyone had the same kind of training and courtesy that you find at the National Parks, we would have a great country!!!.

Here is a summary of the new changes: 1. Camping: From May 2010, all National Parks campsites will be charged per site and not per person. 2. Park Accommodation and Entry Rates: The three-tier system of charging (whereby International visitors are charged more than Regional visitors who are charged more than Zimbabwe Local Residents), will be phased out this year so that by January 2011, there will be only two rates: Non-resident and Resident. However, the three tier system will continue to apply to Park entry fees. 3. Bookings: Reservations for Parks facilities will, from March 2010, be opened one year in advance to all clients, including Zimbabwe residents (who were previously restricted to booking only 3 months in advance). There will be no more "draw" system for Mana Pools and bookings will be treated on a first come first serve basis, with payment being demanded up front.
