Day 1

Arrive Tambo International Airport, our representative will greet you and facilitate your check-in for the connecting flight to Phinda’s private airstrip. Upon landing at Phinda’s private airstrip, a dedicated team member will welcome you and provide transportation to your Lodge in Phinda Game Reserve. Covering a vast expanse of 28,555 hectares (70,560 acres), Phinda Private Game Reserve boasts seven distinct landscapes, offering a premier Big Five game viewing adventure. Expertly guided open 4×4 safari vehicle excursions, led by highly trained rangers and Zulu trackers, promise unforgettable wildlife encounters. Additionally, you can partake in various optional bush and beach adventures. Together, you'll embark on your inaugural exploration of the reserve during an afternoon game drive. With two daily game drives spanning diverse habitats, expect exclusive wildlife sightings. At dinner, you'll meet your gracious hosts, who will outline the exciting program for the upcoming days.

Day 2

Rise early to begin your second day with an exciting adventure: participating in a rhino conservation initiative alongside your parents. This is a remarkable way to initiate your journey and contribute to the vital work of the Phinda Conservation Team. In the afternoon, savor the tranquility of a captivating sunset bush walk, where you'll uncover the art of tracking. As the night descends and the sky becomes a canvas of stars, delve into a fascinating lesson on basic astronomy. Your knowledgeable guide will impart the skills of celestial navigation, helping you navigate by the stars, identify prominent constellations (particularly in the southern hemisphere), and chart the mesmerizing night sky.

Day 3

Today, it's time to return to school, but not your typical classroom. Welcome to our Ranger Training School! We operate two such schools: Inkwazi in South Africa and Mwewe in Tanzania, educating guides from both Southern and East Africa. You're in for an exclusive opportunity to get a glimpse behind the curtain and learn some of the essential skills required to become a ranger or guide. Alongside your fellow teens and parents, you'll engage in exciting exercises akin to the rigorous training real guides undergo. After an invigorating morning, head back to the lodge for a delicious lunch and a chance to freshen up. Then, prepare for an extraordinary adventure like no other: the Pangolin Conservation Experience. In the evening, savor a dinner under the stars at the lodge's boma while enjoying the exhilarating rhythms of Zulu drummers.

Day 4

After the exhilarating adventures of days two and three, take a leisurely morning game drive to unwind before embarking on an enlightening Africa Foundation community excursion. This immersive cultural experience provides a deep understanding of the daily lives, challenges, and triumphs of the communities residing near reserves. Tonight, we celebrate your accomplishments with the Eco-guide Challenge certification and prize-giving ceremony.
