Our Mission
Our mission is to take 1500 kids into Kruger through Ecokidz in 2019, and to continue with weekly environmental education at ten local underprivileged primary schools, equipping over 2500 kids to become conservation leaders of the future.
Our Story
Each year, we take kids from communities close to Kruger National Park on day and weekend excursions to experience conservation first hand. We also provide nature conservation education at their schools. This is part of Sefapane lodge and Safaris’ commitment to corporate social responsibility, run through the Sefapane Foundation and Development Trust.
