Responsible Traveller

We start in the Greater Kruger National Park at Baobab Ridge where we experience a REAL safari, and at Thornybush Game Reserve to learn about the community projects and meet the K9 professionals of Tango K9. In KZN we head to the Drakensberg Mountains for a blissful time at the Cavern and discover their heart for community and education, at Babanango Game Reserve we find out what’s involved in establishing a conservation/community game reserve and realise that it takes way more than one would expect, and at Thanda Safari we experience the adrenalin rush of an ‘almost Big5’ bush walk. We not only delve into the declining numbers of several species and the threat of poaching and habitat destruction, but look at some of the conservation success stories too.
