The Junior Ranger Programme
Nature provides countless opportunities for discovery, creativity, and problem-solving!
Children of all ages are welcome on Gondwana …
Get the Children out in nature!
What is this all about?
The Junior Ranger Programme is available for all children staying with adults on the reserve at an additional charge of R350 per child per activity.
The programme includes educational family game drives, interactive activities with a dedicated Junior Ranger Field Guide, such as tracking, as well as a fun Junior Ranger’s backpack and custom safari booklet to fill in throughout their stay.
During game drives and other activities with their ranger, kids will be taught how to identify mammals, birds, Fynbos species, and even stars.
They will leave Gondwana with a greater understanding of conservation and our precious ecosystem, all while having a safari holiday they will never forget!
