The educational walking trails safari trips
are all about imparting wildlife knowledge to
the guest. It's also about nature conservation
and enhancing the appreciation of nature in an
enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere; the African
bush.
The trails are designed for wildlife
enthusiasts who are eager to learn more but
not in the more formal structure of say our
safari guide courses. They are structured for
more informal learning through a
mixture of interesting lectures, discussions
and “in the field” observations on the
morning and afternoon walks.
....in Kruger National Park and Greater
Kruger, South Africa
Core topics covered in the lectures and
discussions are mammals,
birds and trees. Other
topics depend on the experiences while out
walking and are likely to include such
subjects as ecology, signs of the bush,
insects, grasses, astronomy etc, and
additional focus can be given to specific
subjects.
Selati Camp is situated on the banks of the
Selati River in the 33 000 hectare (81 545
acre) Selati Game Reserve
to the west of the Kruger National Park. Camp
accommodation is simple and rustic in dome
tents with shared bathroom facilities and
there is a communal area where learners gather
for meals and lectures every day.
Selati is a good place for viewing lion, white
rhino and elephant. General game is plentiful
and you might even get to see the large herd
of eland, as well as the rare sable antelope.
The Selati camp is unfenced, and animals do on
occasion wander through the camp. Learners
have woken up in the morning to find the
tracks of elephant, leopard or lion around the
camp.
The sleeping
arrangements at all camps consist
of 2 people sharing per tent. Single
requests are required to pay double-rates.
Women and men do not share tents unless booked
as a couple.
Madach Camp
is located in the Timbavati Private Game
Reserve, in the Greater Kruger National Park
region. The unfenced camps are private and
secluded and not open to day visitors.
Madach can sleep up to 12 people in large
walk-in twin-bedded tents (linen is provided,
so sleeping bags are not needed) with sown-in
mosquito screens.
Ablutions are separate but close with hot
showers and flush toilets.
Although there is no electricity, there is
solar lighting, candles, lanterns and a
campfire to guide you around the camp at
night. Meals are prepared in the kitchen tent
and served in the dining tent.
We are able to traverse across 12000
hectares of prime game area with regular
sightings of lion, buffalo, elephant, leopard,
rhino and general game. The birdlife is also
excellent.
