Swaziland's game reserves offer a unique combination of big-game country, extensive wetlands and soaring escarpments. Just over a decade ago, Swaziland's wildlife was close to extinction. Poaching and an increase in population has put these protected areas and their wildlife under mounting pressure.

The aim of the Swaziland Game Reserve Project is to develop and protect the game reserves in the northern Lubombo Conservancy, so that these important conservation areas and their wildlife can be preserved for the use of future generations.

You'll be changing base every couple of weeks within the reserves and will spend a large portion of your time camping out in the heart of three of Swaziland's finest game reserves. This project also works closely with local communities, from building classrooms for orphaned children to designing environmental education centres to teach children about the importance of conserving the wildlife around them.
