14 DAYS | KALAHARI + CAPE TOWN + MAPUTALAND
ABOUT YOUR TRIP
Explore the southern tip of Africa while making a positive environmental impact through wildlife conservation. After arriving in Johannesburg and getting a feel for the country you will be heading directly into a 240,000 acre wilderness to immersive yourself in wildlife conservation. Spend 4 nights at Working with Wildlife in the remote Kalahari engaging on predator research, anti-poaching, assisting with veterinary work, wildlife relocation and elephant collaring.
Life is all about balance so a bit of time in The Mothercity is in order. Explore the rugged Peninsula of the Cape and the biodiversity of Table Mountain but not forgetting the eclectic foodie culture and rich history of Cape Town. Expert guides will introduce you to this remarkable city.
It should be illegal to visit South Africa and not explore the stunning beaches of Maputaland. And we’re all about living by the law. So naturally the finale to your travel will take you to where the leatherback and loggerhead turtles lay their eggs and where the Southern Right Whales come to frolic. Spend 3 nights along the Indian Ocean of Maputaland which kisses the south of Mozambique.
