OPTIONAL EXTRAS
COASTAL EXCURSION
How about ending your bush adventure with a three night excursion to the coast? This is an exciting add-on where you can explore the areas around either Kosi Bay or St. Lucia. This is your chance to snorkel in the sea, hike along the coast, observe turtles during season, volunteer with crocodiles and be exposed to intertidal and marine life. More detailed itineraries and rates can be provided on request.
FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY
For those schools who have an interest and the means, you can embark on a fundraising mission to sponsor specific conservation projects. Get creative through bake sales, sports events or use social media to raise the needed money to purchase camera traps, radio collars for monitoring or fundraise for a rhino de-horning experience!
Rates
Get in touch for rates that are customised to your experience, depending on timeframe and place of departure. We include everything - so there are no surprises!
10-14 DAY SCHOOL TRIPS: INTERNATIONAL GROUPS

ADD-ONS
Rates provided on request
Costs for coastal excursions include transport, accommodation, guides, all meals and all activities. More detailed information on these experiences can be provided.
Adopt a camera trap:
raise R12,500 and have ongoing access to data for big five research.
Sponsor a radio collar:
raise funds for a collar (wild dog, predator or elephant). The cost is dependent on the species and will be confirmed by reserve management at the time of request. Additional funds can also be raised for the collaring intervention (R15,000 – R25,000). This will give a group access to the darting and collaring experience with a qualified wildlife vet.
Rhino dehorning experience:
raise R40,000 and a group of 15 people will be able to experience a full rhino de-horning intervention. Dehorning has been identified as an important strategy for deterring poaching activity.
