Botswana

Property for sale: $500,000 USD

The Company operates out of established premises in Kazungula, the main business being mobile safaris throughout the Botswana National Parks, overnight camping trips in Chobe National Park, day trips into the Chobe National Park, and transfers from the Botswana border post to the various hotels, lodges and airport within the Chobe area.

The Company currently has various dealings for these activities with agents situated in Finland, England, Holland, Australia. Zambia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. The agreements with these existing agents are verbal â€“ no written agreements have been drawn up to date.

For the first seven years the Company was run on a tight budget, with very little marketing being done. Which means that during the good â€œtourism yearsâ€�? prior to 2000, the Company did not grow as it should have. From 2000 to date, even with the disastrous down-turn in the industry, the Company has not only held itâ€™s own, but has more than doubled the turnover of the best year prior to 2000, and we expect to increase this by approximately 25% for the year 2003/4. This increase is due to a number of reasons; viz. aggressive marketing of the Company locally and in Zambia and Zimbabwe, by being represented at travel shows like Indaba in Durban, and by the investment of new vehicles, upgrading of safari equipment and training of staff.
