Origins of \u201cSmile is a foundation\u201d\n<\/span><\/h2>

Bomani is a lodge located inside a 5,000 acre natural reserve in the Ngamo forest, just 1.5 km from the Hwange National Park gates. This area was formerly a fossil lake, and it was drowned by the sand of Kalahari from west over time. Today, the large plains are disseminated with natural lakes and plants, and offer a peaceful oasis to many wild animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lodge is owned by Mark Butcher aka \"Butch\", a former Rhodesian and forest ranger, who now owns the \"Imvelo Safari Lodges\", a company devoted to photo safaris.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andy Schatte is a Texan builder and one of the lodge's first visitors. Andy has been volunteering in a soup kitchen in Houston - his home town - for many years, and personally cooks in it once a week. In 2005, the two of them met Dr. Diego Romero, a dentist from Madrid, who volunteered for many years in South America.<\/span><\/p>\n
