Samara invites kids to join their live bush classes

Samara Private Game Reserve has introduced a series of video bush lessons for children, taking the classroom outdoors by teaching them some interesting, fun facts about the wild.

 The game reserve, situated in the Eastern Cape's Great Karoo, spans across 67 000 acres of malaria-free wilderness.

The best part is that the kids can get involved in some of the sessions.
