THE DETAILS
Wilderness Mokete
Lions actively hunt throughout the day while a high density of hyenas constantly compete with other predators; cheetah, wild dog, bat-eared fox, jackal, African wild cat and serval. The mopane belt to the east of the great plains is home to leopard and numerous woodland species, while the edges of the marsh have prolific bird life. It’s a thrilling, non-stop show, and a photographer’s dream.
Purpose
Through high-value, low-impact photographic tourism, we aim to help conserve one of our planet’s last remaining wild sanctuaries. Wildlife aside, this area is worth protecting for the birds alone. There are fantastic numbers of buzzards, falcons, owls, eagles and vultures. Another reason Mokete is intentionally minimalist, ensuring the lightest footprint on the land.
