Spend a few days in the bush, as game roams around the camp. An experienced bush ranger will teach you about wildlife and take you into the world of living and surviving the bush, the tracking of animals, anti poaching and maintaining our precious environment.

The course consists of a combination of theory and practice. Different subjects are discussed during walks at several locations, like identifying plants and trees, their medicinal use and how the plants can help you survive. Birds, snakes and even insects can make interesting subjects. How do eco systems work and how are they threatened at the moment? In a Big 5 park you will learn to interpret tracks and other signs of game presence and maybe of poachers too. You will get info on typical animal behaviour and how to act when there's an encounter with for instance an elephant or buffalo. A visit to Moholoholo rehab centre is included. They take care of injured and abandoned animals. If possible, they will set them free in the wild again. We also visit the cheetah breeding project in Hoedspruit. The nights will be spend around the camp fire, as talks continue about the stars, bush noises and probably some 'Crocodile Dundee' stories.

This extension can be booked following the Mozambique diving safari. On the last traveling day, from Kruger to Pretoria, the trip will be taken over in Nelspruit should you book this extension.
