Species Specific Interactive Safaris

Species Specific Interactive Safaris give guests the opportunity to focus on a species of their choice and get to know it inside out, while still enjoying general game (wildlife) viewing and participating in unusual activities involving your species of choice!

These safaris often start in a controlled environment such as a breeding centre, which allows time to observe characteristics and behaviour from up close while getting to know your favourite wildlife species. Sometimes there is also the opportunity to participate in an immobilisation procedure during this time, if any routine management procedures need to be carried out. The safari then moves to a more remote reserve where we interact with scientists and field researchers to learn more about our chosen species and its adaptations in the particular wildlife sanctuary we are working in. Where possible, guests are afforded the opportunity to participate in "unusual" activities involving your species, such as tracking exercises using tracking equipment (Telemetry), or even tracking collared animals from the air in a 2-seater microlight aircraft!! As always, activities are optional and guests have a choice as to how hands-on they wish to be.

These safaris are normally 7 or 8 days in duration, which allows ample time for general game viewing and relaxation, ensuring that your safari is not limited to one species. We also stay at several lodges during this time giving you a regular change of scenery. Groups are small, and are normally limited to 7 persons on a sharing basis, ensuring a personal experience. In certain instances bigger groups can be accommodated upon request.

Your participation ensures sizeable financial contributions to the conservation bodies we work with, thus contributing directly to the conservation of your chosen species.
