LEOPARD CONSERVATION SAFARI - SOUTH AFRICA

Our comfortable Leopard Tracks safari is a safari with a twist – enjoy a fantastic safari in South Africa visiting the Kruger National Park and Sabi Sands AND get involved with leopard conservation!

Everyone hopes to see the infamous big five when on Safari (Rhino, Elephant, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo), and of-course soak up the atmosphere, sights and sounds of Africa. Will and Carol aim to provide all those things (mother nature permitting), but more than that, they want you to gain an insight into the real African bush.

For example, to understand what a Leopard track looks like and how it is just like a finger print, or what the barking noise you heard during the night meant (alarm call of a bush buck, who knows a predator is around), or what that smell of pop corn means as you pass a bush (female leopard in estrous).

Will and Carol provide opportunities for you to be involved with their work in conservation and particularly with Leopards. Meet and be involved with conservationists, help to set trail cameras to monitor the nightly happenings, or just simply take time to sit viewing an Elephant understanding its behaviour and the heard dynamics.

This safari not only provides the normal morning and evening style game viewing, but allows the opportunity to ‘get involved’ with conservation work and understanding animal behaviour and conservation issues. An unforgettable experience.

NORTH EAST NAMIBIA - KUNENE CONSERVANCY SAFARIS 

Tracks Safaris are delighted to offer a new community tourism safari which encapsulates the very meaning of 'making your footprint count'.

In five conservancies in the magnificent north-west Kunene Region the rural people you will meet own the company and are your hosts. All profits from the safari business go to the 1,800 members of these conservancies so you know you are making a real difference.

CHEETAH VOLUNTEERING IN NAMIBIA - BIG CAT CONSERVATION & REHABILITATION PROGRAMME

Staying in simple accommodation, you will be joining a group of international volunteers based at this big cat conservation and rehabilitation programme north of Windhoek.

Your task may be challenging at times but it will also be highly rewarding and satisfying to know that you’ve been part of the team helping to restore the local ecology back to its natural and original state.

CARNIVORE WEEK - A ZAMBIAN CONSERVATION SAFARI - 18TH NOVEMBER 2013

A unique opportunity to spend six days with the Zambian Carnivore Programme (ZCP), learning about and viewing African wild dogs in Zambia!

The Zambian Carnivore Programme (ZCP) has been operating in Zambia since 1998, carrying out conservation and research activities to conserve Zambia's populations of this highly endangered species. They started off with a focus on the highly endangered African wild dog but now expanded to all large carnivore species across Zambia through a variety of applied research activities, anti-poaching and habitat conservation work.

The Luangwa Valley, which marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It covers an area of over 9000 sq. km. through which the meandering Luangwa River runs. The oxbow lagoons, woodland and plains of the valley host huge concentrations of game - including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo - and over 450 species of birds.
