Your Typical itinerary
Your project managers are responsible for organising your daily activities, which will vary from day to day. A typical day may look like this (times varying on the season);
6:00am – Bottle feed the cubs in camp ranging in age from 3 weeks old to 5 months (If there are cubs in camp at the time).
6:30am – 8:00am Meet the guide and their clients and join them for a lion walk, taking cubs from 5 months to 18 months out into the bush. If there are no clients then volunteers and staff will be involved in taking the lions out for their walks. Observe and take data notes as the cubs practice their hunting skills. Or possibly spend the morning training the elephants and going on a ride.
8:30am – 9:30am Breakfast
