Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime?
You and your friends could be headed to the Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape of South Africa where you’ll spend a wild week enjoying the beautiful Big 5 game reserve with your own private accommodations, go on daily photo safari game drives, meet Coyote Peterson, and have the opportunity to be on an episode of Brave Wilderness!
We are thrilled to offer this type of excursion, for the first time in Global Conservation Force (GCF) history, with the help of Coyote Peterson and Kariega Game Reserve! Help us save rhinos by spreading awareness for the cause and becoming a crowdfunding conservation hero. The individual who crowdfunds the most will win an all-inclusive 6-day, 5-night stay for four at Kariega Game Reserve’s Ukhozi Lodge in South Africa.
Coyote Peterson of “Brave Wilderness”
Rhinos around the world face the same challenges: poaching (illegal hunting) for the international rhino horn trade, habitat loss, and civil unrest. Many cultures believe a rhino’s horn has medicinal properties or is a status symbol; however, rhino horn is composed of keratin, the same protein that composes human hair and fingernails.
