Lusaka - Only four available openings is testament to the popularity of Baines’ River Camp’s Elephant Workshops.
This year, The Vanishing Giants of Africa will run from August 12 to 17, 2013.
The workshop will be hosted by Baines’ River Camp in an unfenced area of over 4 000 square kilometres of diverse habitats and eco-systems in Zambia’s Lower Zambezi Valley.
Dr Johan Marais, author of The Great Tuskers Of Africa, with a vast knowledge of these great pachyderms, will lead the group that, from the comfort of a luxury lodge right on the banks of the Zambezi, will explore the intriguing world of these impressive mammals. The focus will be on:
their complex social structures of elephants
their behavioural patterns
their genetics
their means of communication
their undeniable importance to wildlife areas
their threatened existence
The group will also gain insight into the long-term effects of the ivory trade on our African heritage.
Apart from the focus on elephants, there will be sufficient opportunities to view other game and birds while out in the bush and on the river.
The rate for this five night workshop will be $3,500 (about R31 500) per person, inclusive of internal return flights from Lusaka.
