Modisa Conservation Project

We arrived back in Maun yesterday after having visited Modisa Conservation Project and Central Kalahari Game Reserve.

Modisa Conservation Project was started in 2010 by Val and Mikkel on a 10,000 hectare wildlife farm located next to Central Kalahari Game Reserve. They take care of "problem" predators, including lions, leopards, and African wild dogs, which have been captured due to livestock-wildlife conflicts. Val and Mikkel establised Modisa in order to raise awareness about conservation and human-wildlife conflicts through a volunteer program in the African savanna.
