Need to recharge and make a difference too? DeepIntoAfrica.com has been awarded sole rights to bring volunteers from North America to assist with the Tuli Conservation Project, a research and monitoring initiative that aims to help preserve the pristine Tuli Block of Southern Africa. Now this is ecotourism in full effect. The Tuli Block consists of a largely uninhabited area traversing the borders of South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. It is home to large herds of elephants—which will be central to the data collection activities—as well as hyenas, lions, buffalo, leopards, baboons and more. After paying a nominal fee, volunteers are housed, fed and instructed in game tracking, animal and plant identification, GPS mapping, data collection and more. All these skills are applied immediately in the Tuli wilderness as the groups go out to track wildlife and collect data.
“This project is unlike anything else we have been able to offer in the past said” Diederik Van ‘t Hof. “We are tremendously excited about being able to give people the opportunity to experience the breathtaking beauty and excitement that is the Southern African wilderness, in a whole new way.” The participant volunteers come from all parts of the world.
DeepIntoAfrica.com has been offering day tours, safaris, overland adventures, luxury bus tours, scuba safaris, motorcycle adventures and fly-in safaris since 1992 with the belief that eco-tourism will preserve Africa’s biodiversity.
With this adventure trip, people leave civilization behind, clear their minds and enjoy pristine wilderness away from the stresses of civilization and experience an untouched part of Africa that you will remember for the rest of your life. For more information, potential volunteers can visit www.deepintoafrica.com or contact a representative in California at 916-5-SAFARI.
