Typical day
Flexibility is a key expectation of all participants.
Animal rescues and rehabilitation are event-based and can not be planned for. Likewise, new opportunities to experience once-in-a-lifetime wildlife events such as game captures, rhino-dehorning or veterinarian interventions constantly happen ...
Free-time activities
Did you know that SanWild is home to an elephant graveyard and amazing hand-excavated gold mines dating from over 130 years ago? Of course, you will get to see and explore these when you are here, but there's always the surrounding area which has some of the best places to visit in South Africa.
