Editorial Tourism Without Boundaries Welcome to the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area The KAZA TFCA is enormous, larger than Germany and Austria combined and nearly twice as large as the United Kingdom. It lies in the Kavango and Zambezi river basins where Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe converge. Jewels in the crown of this spectacular array of protected areas are the 15,000 km2 Okavango Delta, an explosion of green and blue in parched landscape - the world's largest inland delta, and the awe inspiring tumbling cataracts of the Victoria Falls, a World Heritage Site and one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Angola comprises 17% of the Park, Namibia has 14%, while Zambia has 25% of the Park. which includes the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, and their adjoining game management areas. Botswana has a large slice - 30% of the park. Protected areas found within the region: Okavango Delta the Chobe-Linyanti river system and Makgadikgadi-Nxai National Park. Zimbabwe has 14% of the park and this includes Hwange National Park, Zambezi National Park, Victoria Falls National Park, Kazuma Pan National Park, Chizarira National Park, Matusadona National Park, Matetsi, Deka, Chete, Chirisa and Charara Safari Areas, including, Bembesi, Fuller, Gwayi, Kazuma, Mzola, Ngamo, Panda Masuwe, Sijarira and Sikumi Forests incorporating Hwange, Tsholotsho, Bulilima, Binga, Gokwe, Nyaminyami and Hurungwe Communal Lands, as well as privately held State Land and conservancies extending eastwards to Lake Kariba Recreational Park and Kariba Town. In just five years, the KAZA programme has surged ahead in leaps and bounds. Here are just a few of our achievements: Tourism Without Boundaries The KAZA TFCA launched the KAZA UniVisa Pilot Project between the Republic of Zambia and Zimbabwe on 28th November 2014. This SADC initiative will be rolled out to the rest of the SADC region following success in the KAZA TFCA. The implementation of the KAZA UniVisa will mean that tourists will no longer have to apply for multiple visas, thus saving time and money and opening the doors to the free movement of tourists visiting this African wonderland. Enhancing the wealth of wildlife and the array of beautiful landscapes is a bevy of diverse cultures offering tourists an outstandingly varied experience of regional lifestyle, heritage, arts and crafts, language, music and cuisine.

With the help of beautiful smuggler Tiffany Case (Jill St. John), Bond sets out to stop the madman -- as the fate of the world hangs in the balance! - The film is one of the most outrageous and colourful of the Bond movies. Enjoy! [Amazon] - We see different movies for different reasons, and Diamonds Are Forever is great at doing the things we see a James Bond movie for. [Chicago Sun-Times] - Connery has a ball with great stunts, snappy dialogue and a bevy of typically Bondish beauties.

JOY RUKANZA PRESENTS THE MATTERMOREFORSIS ORCHESTRA Join Joy Rukanza for a night of unparalleled musical artistry with the MatterMoreForSis Orchestra, an immersive experience where she will perform her debut album, 'MatterMoreForSis', alongside an orchestra and an all-female choir. Joy Rukanza's 'MatterMoreForSis' album narrates the poignant journey of a woman through unrequited love, with a double-barrelled title referencing metamorphosis. This concept draws parallels to the scientific transformation from an immature to an adult form. Firstly, it unfolds a love story where the protagonist endures various stages of grief following heartbreak before ultimately choosing to love again. Secondly, 'MatterMoreForSis' is an empowering ode to women, encouraging them to prioritize themselves amidst the sacrifices they often make for others. The album has been beautifully arranged for an orchestral performance, where Joy Rukanza will be joined by an all-female choir and orchestra, with each member contributing their unique talent to create a powerful, harmonious soundscape. Whether you're a long-time fan of hers or experiencing her magic for the first time, this night promises to leave you inspired and awestruck. Admission: US$10.00 THURSDAY 12 SEPTEMBER AT 6.30 P.M.

He takes him to the races and bars and teaches him how to fight but when Maggie finds out, she tells Vincent that he can no longer see Oliver.. - If you're in the mood for something upbeat, go see St. Vincent, a charming fable with colourful characters that will leave you feeling just a bit better for having seen it. [Maltin's Movie Guide] - St. Vincent may not be a great movie, but it is a great lot of fun to watch. [Detroit News] - A movie with laughter, soul and a twisting path to the heart.
