For centuries, the Lozi people have been custodians of the stunning Liuwa Plain, a place where over 12,000 residents live in harmony with wildlife within the Liuwa Plain National Park in Zambia

This incredible coexistence is the result of a 20-year partnership between the Barotse Royal Establishment, the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, and African Parks. Together, they’ve created a model of conservation that protects this unique landscape while ensuring that both communities and wildlife thrive.

Induna Mundandwe puts it best: “The importance of conserving wildlife is that the communities themselves believe that the wildlife they live with is theirs.” 💚

This story is a testament to how collaboration, respect for heritage, and sustainable practices can create lasting impacts.

Benin Republic celebrates The Ouidah Voodoo Festival

The very revered Temple of the Pythons alone organizes the annual Voodoo festival or Fête du Vodoun, that draws over 10,000 people from all over the world — especially Haiti and Brazil — to come pay homage to the fe**sh.

The Ouidah Voodoo festival is celebrated annually on January 10, which is a public holiday in Benin.
Voodoo as a religion is practiced by 17% of Beninese. It was recognised as a major religion in Benin in 1996 but the first Voodoo Festival was inaugurated in 1993. It became a national holiday on 10 January 1998.

The festival's aim is to rehabilitate the traditions and cultures of voodoo, as well as "celebrate the humanistic value of the traditional religions that form the basis of African spirituality and to reclaim the identity and dignity of black Africans."
