About this project

Ecoflix is backing Xudumela, 1,750 acres on the southern edge of Botswana's Okavango Delta, converted from a hunting reserve into a working conservation sanctuary. Every guest night funds anti-poaching patrols through the Connect Trust, more than 4,000 patrol hours last year, across land that now holds 63 mammal species and 187 birds. Where wildlife was once tracked to be shot, it is now simply followed.
