Itinerary:

These 2 days are action packed - you plan your days together with the guide and there are a variety of activities on offer. A very special part of your experience will be to meet with one of the world's oldest cultures - the San Bushmen. There is a village situated close to the reserve, where they live as bushman do today, they do not wear traditional clothing but do carry out many old traditions including gathering food from the land. The women and children go out every morning and you are welcome to join them collecting a range of medicinal and plant life. One of the big adventures of your stay will be to join the guides tracking rhino. You will track on foot through the bush, following the bushmen's calls and hand signals, so as not to startle the rhino. There are also numerous birding walks and game drives to be taken in the area and a variety of desert species can be seen including mongoose, meerkats, squirrels, brown hyena, aardvark and different desert antelope. You will also have an opportunity to visit the local orphanage, located on the Edos Camp property and sponsored by the owners of Edo's Camp and their guests (including you).
