Drakensberg Backpack Trail - 4 Days

AFRICAN BUSH EXPERIENCE COMPANY - www.africanbushexperience.com

The African Bush Experience Company invite you to join us on a 4-Day backpack trail exploring the magnificent 3 000 000 million years old Northern Drakensberg Mountain Range, also known as the Drakensberg Escarpment with it’s breathtaking Quartzite walls, cliffs, peaks and pinnacles that tower over the lowlands of the Limpopo Province.

 

The mountain range forms part of the Transvaal Supergroup with a general altitude at the base of 2000m while the higher regions rises & falls around 3000m. It stretches a phenomenal 1000 km from the Eastern Cape all the way through KwaZulu Natal and into the heart of the Limpopo Province.

 

This wilderness area of untouched beauty that we walk in forms part of a private game reserve that embraces more than 8000 hectares of malaria free, unspoiled African bushveld, located just outside the lovely town of Orighstad. The reserve is also home to free roaming Buffalo, Leopard, Sable Antelope, Tsessebe as well as an abundance of general wildlife.

TRAIL OVERVIEW:

After arrival trailists will be welcomed with a scrumptious meal and treated to a night of luxury at our on-site guest lodge. The next morning you will be on foot with your guide before sunrise after being dropped off at the designated starting point for a full day of exploration and discovery. Meals are provided and will be carried with us for Breakfast and Lunch. Later in the afternoon, as the sun sets, we set up camp and prepare ourselves for an exciting night sleeping under the stars and enjoying dinner around the campfire.

 

The following morning, after packing up and ensuring we leave nothing but our tracks behind, we continue venturing deeper into this “land of wonders” only to reach the pick-up point by mid afternoon from where we will be transported back to the lodge for a well deserved break, bath and rest.

 

Tonight we celebrate around a campfire sharing untold stories of memories never to be forgotten!!!

 

On the last morning trailists enjoy a full English breakfast before departing back home…

    

This is what awaits you on the Drakensberg Backpack Trail with the AFRICAN BUSH EXPERIENCE COMPANY!!!

AFRICAN BUSH EXPERIENCE COMPANY - www.africanbushexperience.com

This practical, hands dirty, feet wet, 7-day program takes participants on an all inspiring journey into the life of a game ranger.

In the company of professional instructors you will experience the reality of living and working in the bush as an active member of a wildlife conservation team on one of our client reserves doing what game rangers do and contributing to conservation in Africa.

This 7-day game ranger experience opens you up to life on a wildlife reserve. From reserve sweeping, anti poaching and fence patrols to ecological rehabilitation and animal health checks, all in a days work.

Not only does the experience give you an insight into the running of a reserve, it also lay a foundation for career development as various important conservation themes come under discussion. As part of the experience, our instructors will also give you insight into other important ecological aspects such as geology, weather, botany, animal identification and animal behaviour. Working alongside your instructors, you will help with wildlife monitoring, research programs, pest control, alien plant control, as well as various other day-to-day reserve tasks and duties.

This customized Game Ranger Experience Program is not only available to people wishing to enter the industry as professional game rangers, on the contrary, it is for anyone who wants to increase their knowledge of the African bush, is looking for a meaningful holiday experience or wants to make a contribution to conservation in Africa.

So whether you are still at school, you've just finished school and are on your gap year, study conservation and looking for the 'real' thing, are on your sabbatical and want to live the boy's dream, have taken a career break or are retired,... or anything? This wildlife game ranger program in South Africa is suitable and an amazing experience for all nature and conservation enthusiasts!
