One of the biggest threats to all camp life is fire.  In the dry seasons bush fires rage through most of our African Parks, these can be deliberate management done by the park authorities but deep in the dry season they are usually started accidentally or by bush meat or honey poachers.  A few of our camps have had close shaves with these bush fires on several occasions.  All of our camp staff in all three camps have just undergone an intensive fire fighting course to gain in depth knowledge of fire and its prevention to add to the experience they already have from previous fire encounters.  A first aid course for all staff members was also conducted over this period so now all employees are qualified first aid responders as well as proficient fire fighters and are adept at professionally handling any fire or medical situation with confidence.
