It was a privilege to be involved in the wild dog rescue at Thanda Reserve when a poacher's snare was caught around her neck. Seeing the biggest tuskers when at Tembe was another highlight and identifying them was great fun.

This operator is a fantastic organization. I would enthusiastically recommend this South Africa expedition and their organization to anyone.

For me, the Game Ranger Course was a one in a lifetime experience...It is a unique opportunity to live and learn about the bush and I will never forget the first time I tracked a wild elephant on foot

The lodge is a fantastic place to stay in a stunning setting. The standard of accommodation is very high, with simple but good quality furnishings, and the set-up for families in two-storey rooms works very well.
