Its search and destroy time again. This is your opportunity to do some good and to have the privilege to do wild camping in big 5 reserve next to Kruger along the Sabie river.
Camping is for free and all we ask is to help search for snares on the Saturday morning. The last search and destroy weekend was a huge success and a lot of the community members that attended it can vouch for that.
Snares is most certainly one of the most cruellest ways for animals to die. If they don't suffocate to death the die a slow and painful death from starvation and thirst. The snares are all still reminiscent from the time before it was proclaimed a reserve and the fences between Kruger National Park and ourselves were taken down. The area that we will cover is in the new safe zone, fenced of from the rest of the big 5 area where we plan to relocate some animals in march and where the walking and bike trails will be established. But before we can do that we need to take out all the old snares.
You need to be self sufficient as far as camping go and a flush toilet in the bush is provided. This is wild camping at its best.
Where: Elephant Point (Aprox 20km from Skukuza)
When: 6 - 8 March
Availability: Only place for 9 vehicles left

Kom ouens, nog net plek vir 7 voertuie.

Baie dankie vir al die terug voer en navrae. Ja daar is nog plekke oop en elke paar oe wat kan help kyk sal hoogs wardeer word. Al wat jy nodig het is jou kamp toerusting en n draad tang om die strikke los te sny. Kampeer plek is reg langs die Sabie rivier en geen heining tussen ons en die Kruger wildtuin aan die ander kant van die Sabie rivier nie.
Die is jou kans om in die teenwoordigheid van die groot 5 te kamp en te kuier. Word wakker met die geroep van visarende en gaan slaap met die seekoei serenade. Die vorige groep was gegroet deur n trop leeus by die ingang van Elephant Point en die naweek was talle buffels en olifante ook gesien.
Die is jou geleentheid om te kom uitspan in die bos en om sommer net gesellig om die groot boma vuur te kuier saam met regtig lekker bos mense.
