We start at the entrance to the 240ha wildlife sanctuary where we will go in search of the variety of South African Wildlife that inhabit the reserve.

I will share the history of the farm, teach you about the various types of animals we will encounter and tell you stories about those living in the reserve that I've grown to know. We get close enough to observe free-roaming wildlife in their habitat but we maintain respect for their space at all times and keep a distance they are comfortable with.

When we get back to the horse camp, I will introduce you to our 13 gentle horses, a South African breed called a Boerperd, and answer any questions you might still have.

Other things to note:

This is a virtual experience so you need to join on your computer or phone. I have an optional interactive quiz for teams, for some friendly competition. You'll need a second device.

Update: I am now hosting this experience using a golf-cart and no longer on horseback. The format & wildlife viewing is unchanged, the only difference is the absence of my horse's curious ears on my screen. You'll still meet him at the end!

Your Accompanying Gift: We'll be sending a wildlife photography coffee table book recommended by your host.
