Natural Learning
A Deeper Understanding of an Astonishing Landscape
By the time you book a safari to Africa, you know exactly what you're doing. You're going to see the animals. And you will. You'll see them in a way that startles you. A way that gives you a new respect for the challenge and beauty of their lives, and recalibrates your sense of man's place in nature. It is like nothing else in this world.
But there is more than just seeing: understanding interactions between animal species as they seek to work cooperatively or exploit each other. Learning how to track animals. Learning to see everything that is there - much of it invisible on your first day of safari. These are the goals of our Natural Learning program.
Your Guide as a Wilderness Mentor
Day by day your skills grow. You will leave Africa with a wealth of knowledge conveyed many ways. For example, daily map orientations make certain you know where you have been and where you are going. Reference books in the Land Cruiser provide additional information to supplement your guide's comments. Above all, by traveling with an expert at your elbow, you come away with knowledge in context, with discerning observations and insights - with the deeper understanding that is the goal of our Natural Learning program.
Pre-Departure
Guide books, maps, and advance reading lists arrive soon after your trip is booked. In-depth conversations occur before you leave home, to be sure you have all the information you need for a safe and enjoyable trip.
