Become a Planet Manager
On arrival at the camps, the children are presented with their own special book - a CC Africa Eco-guide for Planet Managers. This booklet is the child’s to keep and contains a wildlife quiz, a learning guide, fun animal stories such as “Why the giraffe has a long neck”, and tips for spoor and animal identification. Rangers will help the children to complete their Eco-guides and when all the activities have been completed, the Ranger and Tracker will sign a certificate stating that the child has graduated as a Planet Manager.
Learning is fun
The programme also consists of fun “Pooh Walks”, during which the rangers will help the children collect pods, feathers, insects and leaves, and teach them to identify different animal spoor and droppings. Fishing and frog safaris (weather and safety permitting) and bark-rubbing expeditions also form part of the programme as does making wax spoor prints – which can be taken home. A highlight for the boys (and tomboys!) is a trip to a garage to oversee safari vehicle repairs.
Children are also welcome in the kitchen to help the chef with baking cookies for afternoon tea. They eat at a special table set for them in the boma and will also have the opportunity to roast marshmallows over the fire - under the ranger’s watchful eye.
Family Safari Fun
Parents can rest assured that their children will always be safe and well looked after both on and off the game-drives, and that they can enjoy a programme especially designed to give travel-weary parents a well-deserved break, keep the children happy and provide the entire family with a safari experience they’ll never forget.
