• Description:
  Daktari is a registered non profit company. Each week we host 8 under-privileged children from a village and they stay for 5 days. During their stay they receive environmental education.In addition they participate in discussions around social issues such as substance abuse, safe sex and respect (for each other and the environment). They are shown the job opportunities available in the eco-tourism industry by actually interviewing employees at a lodge.We also supplement their education in various school subjects.The most improved child in each group is given a tree to plant at home. We take paying volunteers who are given accommodation and food and help cover the running costs of the project. During your stay you will be able to help us in our objectives by helping the children and caring for the animals.It is also possible to arrange day visits to the many tourist attractions in the area including Blyde River Canyon and Kruger National Park., or just relax and visit the area.
