Our Bush Academy happens on a game farm very close to the Lion and Cheetah Project game farm. The bush is dense, wild and typical of The Bushveld Complex, a geological term for the topography of the countryside that stretches from the North West Province of South Africa, right through to Mpumalanga. The area is MALARIA FREE with warm winters and hot summers. Evening thunder showers cool off the day so that you can enjoy your meal outside under the stars.
This is a pleasurable learning experience where you spend 2 weeks in the bush, away from tarred roads and traffic jams, shopping malls, take-away outlets, and the movies. The focus of this holiday is conservation techniques and why they is necessary to the future of our planet.
