The students were also rewarded with a tree to plant in their villages and a visit to the Sausage Tree Game Reserve. “Accompanied by experienced guides, the students immersed themselves in the natural beauty of their country and encountered a wide array of wildlife. The students explored the reserve, spotting giraffes, elephants, waterbuck, hippo, crocodiles, and more,” said Théo Blang, Daktari’s marketing manager.

Besides the thrilling encounters with wildlife, the game drive served as an educational experience, emphasising the importance of conservation. The students also gained valuable insights into the delicate balance of nature and the crucial role they play in protecting the environment for future generations.
