Unforgettable 4 Weeks

My experience with Hamba Africa was second to none and will forever be a source of fond memories and a wealth of gained knowledge and field experiences.

I joined this trip as a solo female traveller visiting South Africa for the first time, looking to gain further experience in conservation and push myself out of my comfort zone. I could not have selected a better company to fulfil these wishes, as the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and were able to assist me in achieving my goals whilst encouraging me to take part in new experiences.

I was able to not only get some wonderful sightings of key species such as lions, leopards, elephants and even a pangolin, but I was also lucky enough to be in close proximity to white rhinos and their calves multiple times, and to witness some beautiful interactions and learn about their behaviours up close.

Other fun activities I took part in during this trip included two emergency callouts, vegetation surveys in gorgeous areas of the wildlife reserve, population monitoring, tracking predator species while out on a game viewer, checking camera traps with breaks to flip rocks and find fascinating spider, scorpion and centipede species, and social activities such as braais and campfires in the evenings.

I highly recommend travelling with Hamba Africa if you are looking for an opportunity to learn about a variety of unique species and habitats, challenge yourself to work with a team of new faces in a fun and a beautifully remote environment, and if you are ready to have the experience of a lifetime!
