Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge and Isibindi\nAfrica Trails supports environmental clubs in the Mpembeni Schools. In 2018\napproximately 150 children were taken in the lodge vehicles for a few hours guided\ntour of the game reserve. They were taken to the conference centre for talks\nand interactive learning sessions. This important initiative encourages the\ncreation of a human fence; where the local community is invested in protecting\nour wildlife from poaching. A wire fence can be torn down; a human fence\ncannot. For many of these children it was the first time they had visited a\ngame reserve, although they have grown up alongside Africa\u2019s oldest one, or\nwalked with a rhino. In addition there have been a number of days when we have\nundertaken indigenous tree planting projects, with these environmental clubs, at four of the local schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you book a stay at any of our lodges, please do ask\nabout joining a visit to one of our local community projects. Your holiday will\nbe richer for the experience, knowing you are contributing towards a better\nfuture for so many people connected to our lodges in rural KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
