Take up the opportunity to experience a once in a life time - first hand anti-poaching excursion on foot with an anti-poaching specialist. Learn about the tracking methods and more about the plight of poaching of our precious wildlife. This experience will leave you with a clearer understanding and unforgettable memory.
A walk with Karongwe Private Game Reserve's anti-poaching team is like taking a step into a completely different world. This is not just a walk through the bush. You can walk through the bush while being aware of not just the wild animals but also of the so called "kill zones" possible "ambush zones" and escape zones and escape routes. You become aware of where a possible poacher might be waiting in the darkness. You also become aware of where to walk and where not to. You really exposed to how real this war for conservation really is. Even though this walk is filled with the dangers of not only the nature but also the poacher you definitely find a sense of safety with the experience of the anti-poaching team.
