One such tool is vehicles to patrol the wildlife areas they work in. Thanks to the commitment of Toyota South Africa to help conserve biodiversity of these areas, we were able to secure the sponsorship of a vehicle from them on 14 August 2019 at their Head Office. The vehicle was handed over to the Umbabat CPU Manager, David Jeffree, (left) by the Umbabat Chairman, Theo van Wyk (middle) on 20 August 2019. ...

After receiving a very generous donation from one of the Umbabat land owners towards a vehicle for the Counter Poaching Unit, we were able to buy a new Toyota Hilux 2.4 single cab 4x4, plus accessories, at cost through Lydenburg Toyota. Lydenburg Toyota currently sponsor the Wardens vehicle and today we did the handover with the Dealer Principal: Fanie Erasmus Snr. There was great excitement when the Noctuam Manager and Field Ranger's took possession of their new vehicle! We would like to express our gratitude to the donor and to Lydenburg Toyota for their ongoing commitment to the effective management of Umbabat.

Umbabat is 18,000 hectares and based in the heart of the Greater Kruger National Park (GKNP), surrounded by the Klaserie in the west, Timbavati in the south and Kruger National Park in the east and north. The new position of Warden over the whole reserve was created in February 2018 and required a dedicated vehicle enabling the Warden to perform a multitude of conservation, community and security tasks. Fortunately, one of the share block owners at Ntsiri within the Umbabat, Fanie Erasmus, who is also the owner of Lydenburg Toyota and Dealer Principal, with the support of Toyota SA made this happen. Every conceivable accessory to make this a fully-fledged dual-purpose bush vehicle was fitted.
