TODAY IS WORLD RHINO DAY

In the past decade, almost 10 000 African rhinos have been lost to poaching. By far the worst hit has been South Africa, where questionable law enforcement appears to have enabled wide scale poaching in the Kruger National Park.

We encourage both foreign and domestic travellers to do as we will be doing. Spend your travel resources where you know genuine conservation efforts are being made.

Donate to @africanparksnetwork and visit the parks they manage

Experience conservation first-hand at @maratabaconservationcamps and @kwandwe_

The tide is turning on unconscious travel. Don’t be left flapping ignorantly on the beach!

WANT A HANDS-ON CONSERVATION EXPERIENCE? *Maratab

WANT A HANDS-ON CONSERVATION EXPERIENCE?

*Marataba Conservation Camps* are changing the safari game.
-Gone are the rigid morning and evening game drives
-Out with regular meal times
-Kick siestas to the curb

Instead...

-Jump right into dirty, dusty conservation activities
-Assist with rhino notching and DNA collection
-Hike pristine gorges, hop the rocks and swim in the clear pools
-Feel the rush of a mass game capture
-Track predators on foot
-Glide silently on the river at sunset
-Sit down to a surprise picnic sometime between sunrise and sunset
-Meet the personalities working tirelessly and passionately to preserve this environment and the species that we have pushed to the brink.

*Consider a safari with a purpose and choose conservation over crystal and thread count*
