This project is located in the heart of the Kalahari and as a result, encounters with snakes, scorpions, spiders, and ticks are indeed possible. Whilst a conscious effort is made to remove those that pose a threat to guests and staff, it is impossible to prevent such encounters entirely. We urge guests to be mindful of this, and advise guests to use a flashlight at night and to always wear closed shoes. Please make sure that your travel insurance policy covers you for working with wildlife in South Africa, and helicopter transport in the event of an emergency.
