Conservation Safari in South Africa - Capture Africa Tours

A unique hands-on safari where you experience a behind the scenes looks at the challenging work of wildlife conservation in South Africa.

Dear Moptu community these conservation safaris that my partner Dick Berry of Capture Africa LLC and I have been working on for the past year and a half in partnership with Wildlife ACT! We of course were scheduled to run our first tour this August 2020, but had to re-think things as Covid-19 changed our plans!
I am hoping that as we move through this pandemic, people will have a zest and itch to travel again in 2021 and will want to do so ethically, sustainably and thoughtfully with a wish to be conscientious on the foot print that they are personally making on our beautiful mother earth. After all, let us all not forget that this global crisis and pandemic started with illegal, cruel and inhuman treatment of endangered species being sold in a wet market!
My hope is that we as a human race will make better decisions in the future about the ways in which we travel and how we support our animal kingdom and our world in general. These conservations safari's not only focus on ways you can help and be involved, but with a built in donation that goes directly to Wildlife ACT, you will personally be helping them run their vital and important conservation programs, which in turn will help them protect endangered species; like elephants, rhino, painted dogs, lions, cheetah and vultures for decades to come!
Please consider having a look at our 2021 dates and come join us. I will have the pleasure of hosting all three of these wonderful trips and I promise you it will be a trip of a lifetime! If your willing to re-post to your community of face book friends and family to help me spread the word, I would really appreciate that too.
Thanks so much for your support and I hope our paths will cross someday soon! ….in person and in the BUSH!
