"Hi Sharon, back today from SA. Had a wonderful time, Charl, our guide, was absolutely fantastic with us and especially brilliant with the kids. He is a fantastic guide and thoroughly recommend him to anyone. The places we saw were brilliant but having someone like Charl to take us around really made it for us". Mrs Waller, Surrey (Guided Family Safari, South Africa & Mozambique, July '08)

This trip visits lesser-known parts of South Africa as well as Mozambique, and provides much-needed tourism revenue for local small businesses. Our entry fees to the Game Reserve help fund a conservation programme to save the endangered black rhino, whose number in Africa has dwindled from 14 000 to a pitiful 2 550 in the past decade. Fees from participation in the dolphin swim contribute towards the research station which runs the excursion, and is monitoring bottle nosed dolphin numbers and behaviour, loggerhead turtle nesting activity and coral reef condition in order to make recommendations for improving the conservation of marine biodiversity. The lodge owners at our final stop, in Kosi Bay, assist in the training of neighbouring communities to supply arts, crafts and produce to the lodge’s curio shops and kitchens, giving locals an opportunity to earn an income.

The village visit provides a very real glimpse at life for local Zulus in this area: most are very poor and many children are orphaned and looking after younger siblings. Guests to the village are encouraged to bring items such as basic English books, pencils, pens, crayons, exercise books, old school/sports uniforms, deflated footballs or rugby balls or toys: these items will be very gratefully received by local schools.
