Wildlife Tour of Kruger and Namibia
Climb aboard an open jeep on a full-day safari tour of Kruger National Park, and in the Karongwe Private Game Reserve an expert will join you in your search for the ‘big 5’. The researcher from the Endangered Wildlife Trust’s Cheetah Metapopulation Project—a program funded in part by National Geographic’s Big Cats Initiative—can teach you about the efforts to protect the region’s cheetahs and other carnivores.
In Namibia explore the surreal crimson desertscapes of the Namib —the oldest desert on Earth—and keep your eyes peeled for the endangered black rhino in the grasslands of Etosha National Park. Cap off your journey with a visit to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, founded by a National Geographic Grantee.
