NAVIGATING OUR RANGE: "THE ONE WITH THE BABOON"

THE SENTINEL

Dotted across the endless floodplains of the Okavango Delta are thousands of termite mounds. These distinct landforms are the origins of nearly all islands within this pristine wetland. In a landscape that is remarkably flat, these mounds form the perfect lookout point for “The Sentinel.” This is a member of a baboon troop that perches aloft a termite mound surveying the floodplains for the ever-present threat of predators that roam freely across this land.

Mopane seed, combined with pure, filtered Okavango Delta water that has travelled a thousand meandering miles from the highlands of Angola, has resulted in an exceptional, award winning contemporary, dry gin with a rustic African charm.

Pula!

A gin that could only be made in one place on earth.

THE Forager

Historically fed by waters of the Okavango, the Makgadikagdi salt pans once formed a giant paleolake, whose ancient silcrete sediments stores above it an abundance of pure prehistoric water: a lifeline to the landscape above. Today, these dry salt pans transition into productive woodlands dominated by Marula trees that produce ample fruit in late summer. Baboons, on a never ending forage, wander far and wide in search of this nutritious treat.

When the seasons allow, the women in the village of Gweta brew traditional beer “Bojalwa ja Morula” made from the Marula fruit. This the magic ingredient of The Forager, our seasonal limited batch gin.

Once brewed in the Kalahari Desert and twice distilled in the Okavango Delta. A blend of pure Okavango water, coupled with the robust citrus notes of the Marula fruit and the distinct fingerprint flavour of the Mopane seed, create this vibrant, contemporary gin.

Pula!

Hand made only once a year. In only one place on earth.
