Game reserve offer for pupils
Ezemvelo is also inviting schools to participate in the Ezemvelo Heritage Week celebrations
EZEMVELO KZN Wildlife (Ezemvelo) is offering schools in communities bordering their game reserves free entry on Fridays during September.
The ‘Mahala Fridays’ initiative aims to promote conservation among pupils and the first 100 to show their South African IDs at the gate will gain free access.
The programme is part of celebrating Tourism and Heritage Month as well as commemorating World Tourism Day.
It excludes game reserves within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, however.
World Tourism Day is commemorated on 27 September each year and this year’s theme is ‘Tourism for All – Promoting Universal Accessibility’.
‘It is Ezemvelo’s goal to promote our parks not only to international visitors, but to our local communities also.
‘The Mahala Fridays concept will help encourage local communities to connect with and explore our amazing and beautiful landscape while learning about our ecosystems,’ Dr David Mabunda, CEO of Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife said.
Ezemvelo is also inviting schools to participate in the Ezemvelo Heritage Week celebrations from 17 to 24 September.
Interested schools will be taken on educational tours where they will enjoy viewing amazing wildlife in all participating Ezemvelo game reserves.
Schools are requested to contact their local nearest park Managers to make necessary arrangements.
