IT might be lockdown, but this also is an opportunity for children to be taught some interesting fun facts about the wild.
Samara Private Game Reserve, a family friendly Big 5 reserve located in the Great Karoo, has introduced a series of video bush lessons for children, whereby the classroom is taken outdoors. As with all good teaching, the children can get involved in some of the sessions.
General Manager, Marnus Ochse and his team at Samara cover the following in their series of lessons: tracking animals in the wild, glow-in-the-dark scorpion hunting, how to plant Spekboom, making cat cupcakes, finding the ‘funny five’, garden camping and a bedtime story.
- All the lessons are on Samara’s social media platforms, and they’re free! Visit: Facebook: SamaraKaroo; Instagram: @samara_karoo or YouTube: Samara Karoo and learn more about the wild whilst at home.
