    Description

    With your help, Earthwatch researchers are working to ensure the ongoing health of the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park in South Africa, a magnificent landscape of rolling savanna woodland and is the oldest game reserve in Africa.

    You can join a team of researchers and staff in an ongoing survey of the 15 largest herbivores in the park, thereby contributing to a long-term database of population trends and supporting effective management and decision-making. This is a rare chance to walk through scenery most people only see from a Land Rover. In the evening, you’ll gather around the campfire under southern constellations to share the day's encounters.
