Sleutelmomenten\nAuteur: John de Graaff\nDatum: 29 mei 2016\nVoor Karin Bloem is de wereld nauwelijks groot genoeg, met Kenia onbetwist op nummer 1. Na veel omzwervingen is de onderneemster weer terug in Den Haag, om vanaf het Lange Voorhout unieke belevingsreizen aan te bieden.        <div class=\"rmwr-wrapper\" \n             data-id=\"rmwr-6a0c090120ccd\"\n             data-mode=\"normal\"\n             data-animation=\"fade\"\n             data-duration=\"300\"\n             data-smooth-scroll=\"true\"\n             data-scroll-offset=\"0\">\n            <button \n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"read-link\" \n                id=\"readlinkrmwr-6a0c090120ccd\"\n                data-open-text=\"Lees meer...\"\n                data-close-text=\"Minder\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                aria-controls=\"readrmwr-6a0c090120ccd\"\n                aria-label=\"Lees meer...\"\n            >\n                <span class=\"rmwr-text\">Lees meer&#8230;<\/span>\n            <\/button>\n            <div \n                class=\"read_div\" \n                id=\"readrmwr-6a0c090120ccd\"\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"\n                data-animation=\"fade\"\n                data-duration=\"300\"\n                style=\"display: none;\"\n            >\n                \n\n<strong>1.Huwelijksreis<\/strong>\n,,Na het eindexamen aan het Nederlands Lyceum koos ik voor een rechtenstudie. Daarna besloot ik het bedrijfsleven in te gaan. Ik werd inkoper bij V&amp;D, maar bij die keuze speelde het element reizen al wel mee. Op onze huwelijksreis naar Kenia in 1989 volgde twee jaar later een wereldreis door Afrika, Azi\u00eb en Zuid-Amerika. Reizen was altijd al mijn ding.&#8221;\n\n<strong>2. Kenia<\/strong>\n,,In 1995 wilden mijn man en ik graag een tijdje in Afrika wonen. Het werd Kenia. We zouden er twee jaar blijven, het werden er dertien&#8230; Ik begon daar vrienden met lodges te helpen Nederlandse gasten te vinden en al snel was ik zelf ondernemer. Wild Times is in die dertien jaar stelselmatig gegroeid, met safari&#8217;s naar Tanzania.&#8221;\n\n<strong> 3. Terug naar Den Haag<\/strong>\n,,In 2007 zijn we, voor onze drie kinderen, naar Den Haag teruggekeerd. We hebben onze bestemmingen verder uitgebouwd naar alle safarilanden op het Afrikaanse continent en ook naar Azi\u00eb. Kleinschaligheid en persoonlijke service blijven belangrijke kernwaarden. Duurzaam toerisme staat hoog in ons vaandel. Mijn ultieme safari?

Ik heb het artikel met afschuw gelezen. Tien bladzijden vol grote foto\u2019s van toeristenjagers die voor hun plezier bedreigde dierensoorten hebben doodgeschoten\n\n        <div class=\"rmwr-wrapper\" \n             data-id=\"rmwr-6a0c0901235ab\"\n             data-mode=\"normal\"\n             data-animation=\"fade\"\n             data-duration=\"300\"\n             data-smooth-scroll=\"true\"\n             data-scroll-offset=\"0\">\n            <button \n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"read-link\" \n                id=\"readlinkrmwr-6a0c0901235ab\"\n                data-open-text=\"Lees meer...\"\n                data-close-text=\"Minder\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                aria-controls=\"readrmwr-6a0c0901235ab\"\n                aria-label=\"Lees meer...\"\n            >\n                <span class=\"rmwr-text\">Lees meer&#8230;<\/span>\n            <\/button>\n            <div \n                class=\"read_div\" \n                id=\"readrmwr-6a0c0901235ab\"\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"\n                data-animation=\"fade\"\n                data-duration=\"300\"\n                style=\"display: none;\"\n            >\n                \n\nAls toonaangevend tijdschrift worden dit soort verhalen door lezers voor zoete koek aangenomen. Er is niets goeds aan de jacht op wild in Zuid Afrika. Het heeft alleen geleid tot een nog grote bedreiging van wilde dierensoorten en een goed gevulde bankrekening van een aantal blanke Zuid Afrikanen die hun geld hiermee verdienen.\nHet idee achter een artikel over jacht safari\u2019s is ongetwijfeld geweest om spectaculair beeldmateriaal in je blad op te kunnen nemen. De fotograaf David Chancellor, meldt dat hij het onzin vindt dat mensen toeristenjagen schandalig vinden. Hij stelt dat het gecompliceerd ligt en dat de lokale bevolking hierdoor een baan heeft en geld verdiend. Het wordt dan ook verder niet uitgelegd. Uiteindelijk is het niet zo gecompliceerd. Het gaat gewoon om veel geld. De lokale bevolking verdient een schamel salaris, maar de bedrijven die jachtsafari\u2019s organiseren zijn degene, die er baat bij hebben en er gigantisch aan verdienen. En in dit geval ook de fotograaf, die er foto\u2019s van maakt. Prijzen voor het doodschieten van antilopen, luipaarden, olifanten en neushoorn vari\u00ebren van US$ 5000 &#8211; US$ 50.000.\n\nLinda had zich beter moeten inlezen over dit onderwerp. Het artikel wekt bij de onschuldige lezer de suggestie dat jacht op olifanten niet erg is, wel lekker spannend en dat er iets goeds wordt gedaan met het geld. Maar het tegendeel is waar: jacht op bedreigde dierensoorten in Zuid-Afrika heeft ertoe bijgedragen dat de stroperij in andere Afrikaanse landen, waar het wild nog echt in het wild leeft, schrikbarend is toegenomen. Zuid Afrika is in mijn optiek een artifici\u00eble safaribestemming omdat de meeste parken zijn aangelegd en het wild er wordt uitgezet. Een ecosysteem dat zichzelf niet goed in de hand houdt en waar te grote kuddes olifanten schade aan konden richten. Doordat ivoor uit Zuid Afrika weer op de markt kwam, nam de vraag vanuit Azi\u00eb toe. In China maakt men allerlei snijwerkjes uit ivoor. Het draagt bij aan een goede status en geluk om iets van ivoor te geven of te krijgen. Ook gelooft men in China en andere Aziatische landen, dat gemalen Neushoorn potentie verhogend is. Een kilo ivoor of neushoorn is daarom vandaag de dag kostbaarder dan goud of coca\u00efne. Big business dus!\n\nGrote criminele organisaties zitten achter de stroperij in Afrika. Afgelopen jaar zijn 40.000 olifanten gestroopt. Reusachtige olifanten, worden omgelegd vanwege hun ivoor. Baby olifantjes blijven achter. De aantallen zijn schrikbarend. In 2014 zijn meer olifanten gestroopt dan geboren.\n\nEn die leuke knuffelfoto\u2019s van Jennifer Hoffman met leeuwen dan? Die foto\u2019s zijn ongetwijfeld genomen in \u00e9\u00e9n van de vele Knuffelfarms in Zuid Afrika. Veel organisatie als het WNF en Stichting Spots proberen dit fenomeen al jarenlang te bestrijden, want deze knuffelfarms zijn het ergste wat er is. Het lijkt allemaal zo schattig ook, maar je mag je geld hier niet aan uitgeven. Ook dit\nknuffelfenomeen bestaat o.a. in Zuid- Afrika en Thailand. Big business. Leuk op de foto en leeuwtjes aaien. Maar wat gebeurt er achter de schermen? Leeuwtjes worden gefokt en direct na de geboorte bij de moeder weggehaald, zodat die weer direct zwanger kan worden. De welpjes worden vanaf dag \u00e9\u00e9n, dagelijks in de armen van toeristen genomen en geknuffeld. Tammer kan je ze dan ook niet krijgen. De grotere leeuwen worden gedrogeerd zodat het echt bij knuffelen kan blijven. En wat gebeurt er als deze welpjes groot zijn? Dan worden ze uitgezet in een park, zodat een gefrustreerde toeristenjager, veelal onbenullige miljonairs of proleten, ze voor bedragen vanaf US$ 10.000 doodschieten om vervolgens stoere verhalen te kunnen vertellen over hun Afrikaanse jachtsafari. In feite kan natuurlijk een vierjarig jochie zo\u2019n leeuw makkelijk kapot schieten, want makker kan je ze niet krijgen. Het heeft ongeveer het gehalte van een labrador vanaf een meter door zijn hoofd schieten. Natuurlijk maken de jachtbedrijven er een mooi en spannend verhaal van \u2018you just killed the most dangerous lion, that was a threat for the commuity. Good job man\u201d! En tja, dan gaat de schedel en het vel natuurlijk als mooie trofee mee en komt ergens aan een muur te hangen. Maar onze Zuid Afrikaanse jachtorganisatie laat natuurlijk geen kans onbenut om meer te verdienen. Dus worden de botten van luipaarden en leeuwen verkocht aan criminele organisaties, die dit op hun beurt in Azi\u00eb verkopen, als (Indiase) tijgerbotten, aan mensen die denken dat gemalen tijger en leeuwenbotten, potentie verhogende of andere onzinnige medicinale werking zou hebben. De vraag naar deze vermaalde botten is daarom weer gigantisch toegenomen, waardoor de stroperij van beschermde dierensoorten in Kenia, Tanzania, Congo, Botswana tot een ongekend hoogtepunt is gekomen. Als de stroperij in het huidige tempo doorgaat zijn olifanten, leeuwen, luipaarden en tijgers zeer binnenkort uitgestorven. Dan zijn er straks geen wilde dieren meer in Afrika en kunnen we niet meer met onze families op safari en kan niemand meer zeggen: \u201dHet is fantastisch hier\u2026.\u201d\n\nBeste Linda,\nKennelijk heeft jullie redactie de consequenties van toeristenjacht niet overzien. En ongetwijfeld heeft Linda niet gewild om indirect de stroperij van bedreigde dierensoorten te stimuleren. Maar ondertussen valt er in jouw tijdschrift te lezen, dat er niks mis is met toeristenjacht op deze met uitsterven bedreigde dierensoorten. Ik kan me niet voorstellen dat jij op geweten wilt hebben dat er straks geen wilde dieren meer zijn. Waarom ga je niet me mee naar het \u00e9chte Afrika? Dan breng ik je in contact met mensen en organisaties, die er alles aan doen om stroperij tegen te gaan. Hun verhalen zijn vele malen pakkender en spannender dan dit artikel. Het zijn de verhalen over de \u00e9chte helden!\nHartelijke groet,\nKarin Bloem\nWild Times Safaris\nPS.

Wild Times Safaris, a Kenyan-based safari company run by Dutch lawyer Karin Bloem, offers this service. She has been organizing safaris (trips in the Kiswhali region) in East Africa since 1995. Her company tailors safaris to your needs. For each group (family or otherwise), she creates a trip within the desired number of days and budget. <\/span><\/span>\n\n<span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In close consultation with clients, we select the parks and lodges to visit, and efficiently arrange transportation to and from these parks. These safaris also include World Heritage sites in Kenya (Mount Kenya National Park, Lake Turkana National Parks, and the Lamu Peninsula), Tanzania (Serengeti National Park, Ngorong Ngorong National Park, Selous National Park, Kilimanjaro National Park, and the island of Zanzibar), and Uganda (Rwenzori National Park and Mbwindi National Park).<\/span><\/span>\n\n<span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some parks are as large as the province of Utrecht.

The sun was rising and people were bathing in the river. It was so beautiful there.&#8221; Three days before the trip, I had attended a Jan van Goyenkade 17\/18 get-together. I thought, &#8220;How special would it be if we could be here with that group?&#8221; I sent them a message saying, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s been 30 years since we lived together? Reason enough for a house anniversary!&#8221; And so began Jan&#8217;s 18th-anniversary adventure in India&#8230; <\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">At the end of the day, at Karin Bloem&#8217;s house in The Hague, six women gather to talk about their trip to India a month earlier. One of them carries a photo album with pictures from their student days. The women enthusiastically gather around the photos, reminiscing about their time in Leiden. Karin: &#8220;All those round faces of ours!&#8221; Stan de Klerk-Waller also exclaims enthusiastically: &#8220;All those photos are fantastic, that book is really cool.&#8221; We sit down at the large table, and immediately all the stories flow.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><strong><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">From 9 to 20 housemates,<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> Karin starts at the beginning: \u201cWhen I got back to the Netherlands, many housemates were immediately enthusiastic. I thought, &#8216;If six women come, that would be so much fun.&#8217; But more and more women signed up. At one point, there were 16 of us, and then I said, &#8216;We&#8217;re all Jan 17\/18, so who will be number 17 and who will be number 18?&#8217;\u201d Kika Notten-Van Manen talks about her decision to go: \u201cThere were more and more of us, and at a certain point, you get the feeling, &#8216;If I don&#8217;t go, I&#8217;m going to miss something so special.&#8217; In the end, we went on a trip to India with 20 former housemates!\u201d Stan: \u201cIt&#8217;s funny, but it didn&#8217;t feel like such a big group at all.\u201d Karin: \u201cWhen it got serious, we set up an anniversary committee with Stan and Silvia de Ronde Bresser-Oostwegel. \u201d The trip that was planned took them to Delhi, Varanasi, Agra, Ranthambore Park, Jaipur and Samode in nine days.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><strong><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Jan 18, late 1970s.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> Stan continues: &#8220;The trip was incredibly well organized by Bloem. It also felt really comfortable traveling together because you lived with everyone.&#8221; &#8220;There were no arguments at all,&#8221; Carmen V\u00f6lker-Teixeira de Mattos adds. &#8220;But I can&#8217;t recall any irritations from the time we lived at Jan 18,&#8221; Stan muses. Karin: &#8220;We were a bit boyish in our house, in terms of honesty and openness. That was characteristic of our house, and we still have it.&#8221; But had nothing changed compared to the past? Carmen, the youngest of the housemates, says: &#8220;I thought it was quite different during the trip than before. Didn&#8217;t you think so? You don&#8217;t have that hierarchy anymore, and everyone has experienced something by now.&#8221; Silvia says with a laugh: &#8220;So, as the youngest, she didn&#8217;t have to take out the garbage anymore.&#8221; Karlijn de Mol of Otterloo-Farwerck: &#8220;There was indeed a very relaxed atmosphere. It was the same when we lived on Jan 18.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><strong><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The house quiz\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> During the trip, it became clear that the ladies hadn&#8217;t lost their student spirit. &#8220;Kika and I had created a house quiz together, which was scheduled for midweek,&#8221; says Karlijn. Karin explains the context: &#8220;The first four days we had a very intensive schedule and short nights. So the quiz wasn&#8217;t until day five.&#8221; Karlijn: &#8220;I was afraid that all the anecdotes from our student days would have been covered by the fifth evening. But we mainly caught up on what was going on, so we didn&#8217;t really talk about the past at all. Luckily!&#8221; <\/span><\/span><br \/><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> The quiz eventually took place in the tiger park. When all the other guests were already asleep, preparing for the safari the next morning, Jan 18 spilled all the stories, and the evening was only just beginning&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><strong><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The backbone of the trip<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> : &#8220;You were on a high,&#8221; says Silvia. Carmen: &#8220;We laughed so hard. A few times, tears rolled down my cheeks from laughing.&#8221; Karlijn: &#8220;My jaw even ached.&#8221; The highlight for everyone, however clich\u00e9d, was &#8220;that we had so much fun together.&#8221; Stan: &#8220;Everything was covered. Sometimes you&#8217;d sit next to someone on the bus for five hours and then you&#8217;d really get into a deep conversation. Because of the traveling and because you always shared a room with someone, we had a relatively large amount of time to really catch up.&#8221; Kika: &#8220;We know each other well enough, and the foundation is so solid.&#8221; Stan adds: &#8220;You know you can trust each other, so you&#8217;re very open with each other. Of course, we&#8217;ve been through so much together in the past.&#8221; Silvia: &#8220;What I remember vividly is that I was grabbing something in my hotel room and hearing sounds from an adjacent room that I hadn&#8217;t heard in so long! Those sounds felt very safe and familiar. I found that very special.&#8221; Karlijn: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think we would have experienced it all as intensely if we had gone to Maastricht, for example. The trip was the foundation upon which it all could be built.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><strong><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What made the trip so special?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> Silvia: &#8220;It was, of course, quite special in itself to be together with so many former housemates after all these years and to take such a trip.&#8221; &#8220;In terms of culture and history, Varanasi was a highlight for almost everyone,&#8221; Stan adds, &#8220;Especially because you were immediately drawn into India.&#8221; &#8220;And of course the Taj Mahal,&#8221; Karlijn suggests. &#8220;I thought, &#8216;I know it because you&#8217;ve seen so many photos of it,&#8217; but when that immense white mausoleum appears out of nowhere, you really don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re seeing.&#8221; How special to share this with each other. &#8220;And we were happy to see the temples in Sarnath,&#8221; says Carmen. &#8220;That&#8217;s actually where Buddhism originated. So that&#8217;s another very spiritual place,&#8221; and &#8220;here our yoga enthusiasts could take their place,&#8221; Kika adds with a laugh. &#8220;Of course, we saw all kinds of forts and palaces in Jaipur. The luxury, wealth, and abundance were unparalleled.&#8221; Our last night we also spent in a Maharaja&#8217;s palace. There we had our final dinner in a private room at a beautiful long table with silver decorations, candelabras, chandeliers, and ornaments. It was like a fairy tale from the Arabian Nights.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><strong><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">No place like home.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><br \/><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> Another highlight for the women were the stories told by their travel guide, Addy. Silvia: \u201cOn the very last evening, after dinner, we drove to the plane on our bus. Marlisa then asked Addy for a final story.\u201d Carmen: \u201cHe came up with a story he called &#8216;In search of the truth.&#8217;\u201d Karin: \u201cIt went like this: \u2018Once upon a time\u2026 there was a group of women. They went to Varanasi and Jaipur in search of the truth. They kept hotel guests awake for nights in the tiger park, didn&#8217;t see the tiger, but the tiger kept an eye on them. And even in the Maharaja&#8217;s private palace, they didn&#8217;t find happiness.
