South Africa: Enigmatic Wildlife Tour (EWT)

Aside from the gob-smacking list of critters – which should set the pulse of any wildlife travel enthusiasts racing – to make this trip even better, we will be traveling through the Kalahari and Namaqualand during early September, the peak period for blooming. Carpets of multi-colored wildflowers of both the daisy and bulb families will form the backdrop to settings in which we’ll be searching for some of the very coolest animals on Earth. Much of our wildlife watching will be conducted after sunset, when most of the incredible creatures surface from daytime hideouts. The icing on the cake will be that we will be accompanied by skilled local herpetologists, and one of the best naturalists in the country. Together as a team we will have ornithologist, herpetologists and other ….’ists’ with an in-depth knowledge of where some of strangest and most endangered wildlife occurs. But our trip will not only be spectacular, but it will also be meaningful because it will double-up as a biodiversity scouting survey, in that we will be supporting some scouting and research activities, making this a win for all. With a leadership uniformly keen on photography, we should have a ball on this trip. For those that simply cannot get enough, a pre-trip will visit locations in Namibia that seem to deliver the amazing Ground Pangolin and Brown Hyena with some exciting regularity!

Unfortunately, due to the sad reality that we currently face with many mammals, lizards and snakes now being the targets of poaching syndicates, we keep the precise locations of where we seek out some of these animals confidential.
