The Kruger National Park is situated on the northeast corner of South Africa, on the border of Mozambique. The park offers a range of accommodation to suit all preferences and covers two million hectares.
The far north of the park is the wildest and most difficult area to access and because of this, it has alluring qualities for the real adventurer. The park offers the "big five" game, which includes buffalo, elephants, leopard, lion and rhinoceros. There is also the "small five" including buffalo weaver, elephant shrew and ant lion to name a few.
The park also has the Letaba elephant museum, Albasini and Maserini ruins.
This programme deals with the rehabilitation and care of abused horses in the Wild Coast area of South Africa, and is a must for anyone who really loves horses. You will ride on trails through the dramatic scenery of the Wild Coast, passing through beach lagoons and lush green game reserves.
The project is situated at the foot of the Drakensberg Mountains to the west of the renowned Kruger National Park. The emphasis is in offering the students a unique bush experience on horseback, walking and driving, where attention is paid not only to the animals, but also to all aspects of local ecology. Volunteers complete an informal course to learn all about conservation in Africa.
