The ‘Animal Tracking Experience’ will open up a new world to the Naturalist. The focus will be on the ability to track and follow the trail of an animal, anticipate where the trail is going, find the animal and approach the animal, if the situation permits.
Our quarry of preference is rhino, lion and elephant, although we could follow any trail that is workable, including those made by kudu, giraffe and buffalo.
Passion. Experience. Quality.
The group, of maximum six participants, will be guided and mentored by two Lowveld Trails Co. FGASA Trails Guides, one of whom will have a Senior Tracker qualification through the CyberTracker system.
You will be thoroughly briefed on the principles of ‘Trailing’ with each participant taking it in turns to act as lead tracker. We utilize a ‘team-tracking’ technique, which ensures maximum engagement for all participants.
There will be continual mentoring throughout the ‘Trailing’ process of finding and evaluating a trail, track recognition, trail anticipation and maintaining momentum in order to catch up to the animal.
The small group size, will ensure that each participant has multiple opportunities to track the animals themselves. Your time with us will be immersive, practical and intense, with an average of 7 to 8 hours spent in the field each day.
Anyone with an interest in Nature, wildlife, tracking and an all-encompassing immersive experience would value this opportunity.
There are no guiding or tracking qualification prerequisites to take part in this experience. Just arrive eager to learn and with an open mind.
For the duration of the ‘Animal Tracking Experience’ you will be based at a luxury, low-impact Wilderness Camp in the 28,000-hectare Selati Game Reserve. The reserve is situated in the Limpopo province, and adjacent to the Greater Kruger National Park.
The Wilderness Camp, situated on a wooded drainage line and surrounded by spectacular granitic outcrops, is a serene bushveld retreat nestled within the expansive Selati Game Reserve. This exclusive, ‘off-grid’ camp, equipped with a state-of-the-art solar panel, battery and inverter system, together with a borehole for its water requirements, is consciously designed to minimize environmental impact. With just four luxury en-suite tents, and a communal entertainment and dining area, a personal and undisturbed experience is ensured, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of your surroundings for an authentic Wilderness escape.
The ‘Animal Tracking Experience’ is available for booking from June to October 2025.
