ITINERARY DETAIL
NOTE 1: UMHLANGA RIDGE HOTEL DURBAN
This 3-star, five-storey hotel is ideally located right in the heart of the burgeoning business
district of Umhlanga Ridge within easy access of places to eat and the beach. It has
air-conditioned rooms, a pool, en-suite bathrooms and wifi. It will give you the chance to
acclimatise to a new continent and country before moving to tents later on in the
expedition.
NOTE 2: ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS COURSE (EAC)
Snake talk and guided bush walk: The Environmental Awareness Course (EAC) will be run
at Albizia Camp and covers mammals, reptiles, birds, tracking, spoors and anatomy. A
chance to experience the ‘real Africa’ as you walk through the bush and get close to the
animals - all under the expert guidance of highly trained and very experienced guides and
rangers. An unforgettable and very exciting phase of your expedition.
NOTE 3: USHAKA MARINE WORLD
At uShaka Sea World you will see dolphin and seal shows, penguin presentations, view
shark dives, ray feeds and so much more! It is home to the largest aquarium in the
southern hemisphere, with underground viewing galleries, extending 500 meters through a
series of four superbly designed old ship wrecks. Each and every display was designed to
represent the natural habitat of the sea creatures.
NOTE 4: ALBIZIA CAMP ACCOMMODATION
Albizia Camp is owned by Anton and Emma Roberts. They have been associated with the
Open Expedition for many years. They will be responsible for you throughout your stay
here. The camp is situated between the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Mkuze Game
Reserve. It is an open bush camp with tented accommodation around a central fire. Beds,
mattresses and sleeping bags are all supplied. There is a shower and lavatory block
located in the camp. Food is provided in a central tented dining room or around the braai.

ITINERARY DETAIL
NOTE 5: CROW REHABILITATION CENTRE
You will visit the CROW (Centre for Rehabilitation of Wildlife) founded 35 years ago. It was
one of South Africa’s first dedicated wildlife rehabilitation centres. Today, CROW is still
KwaZulu-Natal’s only registered wildlife rehabilitation centre dedicated to the rescue,
rehabilitation and release of all indigenous wildlife found in KwaZulu-Natal. Although you
will not be able to handle the animals, the work you do there will directly benefit them.
NOTE 6: EAC: RESEARCH & CONSERVATION / CULTURAL WALK
For the research and conservation element of the EAC you will take part in: Pitfall surveys—
invertebrates and reptiles. Biodiversity studies and game counts. Animal behaviour and
identification studies working with giraffes, zebra, nyala, leopard and more. Building and
maintaining the enclosures. Data capture from ongoing projects. Plastic removal from the
river bank. The cultural walk goes into the village called Nompondo where we visit schools,
homesteads and learn more about real Zulu life. Presentations will be given in some of the
rural schools in the Nompondo community.
NOTE 7: EBANDLA CAMP AND TRAILS
Ebandla Camp is situated inside Amakhosi private game reserve, which is a big five reserve,
with rhino species, buffalo, elephant, leopard, cheetah and a very healthy population of lion
on the property. It is also rich in incredible plant and bird life. It is a tented camp
surrounded by a stone seating area, complete with fire pit for cooking and added ambience
at night. The view that stretches out beyond this stone platform, is awe-inspiring. Facilities
include hot water, shower & toilet block, camp kitchen & snack shop. The group will walk
the trails with a qualified trails ranger.
NOTE 8: COMMUNITY PROJECT WORK
We rotate around various schools in the Kosi Bay area in order to spread the work so
everyone benefits. The exact location is finalised closer to the time to ensure we work with
the school that needs the most help at that time. The sort of work may well involve
gardening, painting, decorating, carpentry, playing games and generally getting involved in
school life.

ITINERARY DETAIL
NOTE 9: EAC: MARINE ECOLOGY / LAKE ST LUCIA
Lake St Lucia is situated in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa's first Natural World
Heritage Site. It is home to the country’s biggest population of hippos, approx. 1,000
crocodiles and a wealth of plant and animal life. Habitats range from coral reefs, beaches,
coastal forests, salt and fresh water marshes to the open estuarine waters of Lake St. Lucia.
This is a remarkably beautiful place and you will go on a boat cruise around the area. Other
mammals to look out for include buffalo, rhino, zebra, eland, kudu and even leopard.
Turtles use the protective beaches here to breed each November.
NOTE 10: TEMBE ELEPHANT PARK
More than 200 elephants tramp the quiet paths through the brush, secure in the safety of
this haven. It is a rare eco-system, this transition zone between tropical and sub-tropical, and
this ecological diversity suits not only the elephants but also huge numbers of other animal
and bird species. To preserve the pristine wilderness, Tembe park management employs a
minimum-impact policy: non-intrusive visitor facilities; sand roads; sympathetic
environmental management. You will go on a 3 hour game drive in an open safari vehicle
with a professional, qualified guide.
NOTE 11: GAME DRIVE
All under the expert guidance of highly trained and very experienced guides and rangers
you will spend a full day at the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve. It is the oldest proclaimed
nature reserve in Africa, well-known for its rich wildlife and conservation efforts which have
contributed to this park having the largest population of white rhino in the world. It
consists of 960 km² (that’s nearly the size of Hong Kong) of breath-taking hilly terrain that
you will tour in safari vehicles in search of the big five—elephants, rhinos, buffalos, lions
and leopards!
NOTE 12: ELEPHANT & CHEETAH INTERACTION
Elephant interaction: Enjoy an up close and personal meeting with Rambo, Rachel and
Jabulani the elephants. You will be given opportunity to feed them as well as touch Rambo’s
ears, behind his tusks, between his front legs, and you will even get to feel his tongue!
Cheetah interaction: Visit a cheetah project where you will have the chance to stroke some
of the tamed cats which have been raised in captivity (for various different reasons) and
learn more about these wonderful creatures.

DECLARING MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRIOR TO EXPEDITION
Outposts Ltd aims to be as inclusive as possible in accepting individuals for expeditions. It is vital that anyone who has a pre-existing medical condition declares this before
departure.
We have recently experienced some individuals omitting information from their medical forms. There may be many reasons why this information was not provided; fears about not
being allowed to participate; a confidentiality issue; considering that a previous health problem is unimportant and unlikely to cause a problem whilst away.
Outposts Ltd maintains complete integrity with client’s information including anything either written or stated in confidence. In order to ensure that all necessary arrangements are
made for the safety and welfare of our clients, we ask that you declare any information, however minor, relating to your health. It is very unlikely that this information will have an
impact on your chance to undertake your planned expedition.
