FOR A DELIGHTFUL TWIST, TRY AN ECO-SAFARI!
If you’re concerned about the environment and conservation, and would like to be an active participant, an eco-safari could be the right trip for you! There are a variety of tour packages available, so you can choose which one interests you the most.
One exciting eco-safari, Rhino Darting, takes place in the Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa. As the white rhino is one of Africa’s endangered species, the purpose is to implant microchips to facilitate tracking these magnificent animals. Guests are taught about how this assists in conservation management, and given the opportunity to take part in the process. Children who are six years of age and older are allowed to participate. The cost of lodging at the Phinda Mountain Lodge for each person per night, sharing, is in the range of ZAR 4470 (the South African Ran monetary unit).
If you’re seeking excitement, another eco-safari to consider is that of game capture and relocation. As this has been one of the main parts of species preservation, you might be interested to learn that you can become a part of it by joining the capture teams any time between March and October. The capture and relocation of this game project is one of the best ways of ensuring that endangered species will be sustained; and you can have a hands-on role with rhino, lion, zebra, nyala, impala, and warthog.
The Black Eagle Project Roodekrans was developed for monitoring the black eagles located at the Witwatersrand National Botanical Garden. The purpose of this project is to educate the public and to keep track of the breeding cycle of the black eagles. A portion of the fees for this guided tour are returned to the project.
You may also be interested in taking part in an eco-safari game count; although it is essentially self-explanatory, a game count also consists of a short training course to prepare you for what is expected.
While African Safari Travel offers all of the above tour packages, some others you might wish to consider come from EcoVitality. Having a smaller tourist crowd than most other African game parks, Namibia has a large number of cheetah and black rhinos, as well as elephants, leopards, lions, and 450 species of birds. These eco-safaris have been designed for those who have a special concern for conservation, including the need to educate hunters against killing lions. Due to the decline in value of the American monetary rate, the costs for these safari packages are frequently changing. In addition to the safaris focused on preserving African wildlife, appreciating the scenic beauty is also a tourist favorite.
Gorilla trekking may also be to your liking! As there are only approximately 650 mountain gorilla left, this could well be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The nine-day gorilla trekking takes place in four of Uganda’s National Parks– Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale Forest National Park, Murchison Falls National Park; and in addition to the mountain gorilla, you will have sightings of numerous other animals, primates and birds. The current cost of complete tour packages through Eco-Safari’s Uganda is not immediately available.
For your own personal participation in wildlife conservation activities, an eco-safari is your best vacation destination!
