JHB West - Dec 22 / Jan 23

This new whisky, distilled in
Scotland but with an African
heart, was born under a setting
African sun by two friends, Gerrit
Wagener and Brin Kushner,
debating the Rhino Poaching
crisis. As the campfire crackled,
an idea was sparked to create
a whisky that would not only
highlight the plight of the
rhino, but also give back
to rhino conservation.
A warm welcome,
then, to Rhino Whisky
- premium but easydrinking,
and with
20 per cent of profits
pledged to the
rehabilitation of baby
rhinos orphaned due
to their mothers being
killed for their horns,
a really well-thoughtout
Christmas drink.
You’ll find it for around
R590 and is available
online on Takealot and
a few select retailers.
To win a bottle, pop
over to Get It Joburg
West on Instgram
before Dec 10.
Feel good
Christmas
Pour yourself a glass of The Royal
Rhino and toast to This is Africa ... while
knowing you’re also helping the fight
against the poaching of Black and
White Rhino. A blend of rich, bold
Arabica coffee and vanilla combined
with milk, this luxurious cream
liqueur is packaged in a bottle
shaped like a rhino horn, and is
brilliant served over ice in a short
glass, in cocktails and drizzled
over ice-cream for a quick-butdecadent
dessert. And every
time you buy a bottle (and
another, and another)
a percentage of the
proceeds go to the
anti-poaching fight. So
basically you’re saving
the rhino, one sip at
a time. We’ll drink
to that. R159.99

If we’re talking North Pole, we’re talking Polar Bears. Which are
one of the eight species of bear ... all of which are featured
in the magnificent Remembering Bears - the latest in the
Remembering Wildlife series of fundraising photo books which
has already raised an impressive R18 491 947 for conservation
projects. For armchair travellers, and those who like to support
conservation, this coffee table book has splendid images of polar
as well as American black bears, Andean bears, Asiatic black bears,
brown bears, giant pandas, sloth bears and sun bears ... images
donated by 85 of the world’s leading wildlife photographers (think
Marsel van Oosten, Art Wolfe, Frans Lanting, Greg du Toit, Daisy
Gilardini and Morten Jørgensen, who took the cover image), with
11 of the stunning images taken by South Africans. One hundred
per cent of the sales of the book go to conservation ... much
needed since the IUCN (International Union for Conservation and
Nature) lists six of the bears as vulnerable or endangered due to
pressures ranging from climate change to human-wildlife conflict
and even those bears of least concern, such as brown bears, are
at risk of being lost forever in certain countries. There’s also the
horrors of dancing bears, illegally trafficked bears as pets or those
used for medicine. To find out more about Remembering Wildlife,
visit rememberingwildlife.com, and support them by giving a
copy of the book to a wildlife enthusiast for Christmas. R895,
