DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR HOW GOOD THIS TRIP IS...
This is what our community say about their experience:
Accommodation @ The Manor House Botlierskop Private Game Reserve
You’ll stay at the Manor House — a private, elegant retreat set within a Big Five reserve along the Garden Route.
Expect spacious rooms, refined comfort, warm hospitality, and uninterrupted views of wild landscapes.
This is where conservation days soften into restorative nights.
Depending on your travel needs, we cater for both shared accommodation & private luxury. The choice is yours.
How We Pair Participants
We intentionally curate small groups and thoughtfully pair room shares based on personality, pace, and preferences.
You’ll arrive as individuals — and often leave with lifelong connections.
WHAT YOUR DAYS MIGTH LOOK LIKE
We try our best, but nature has its own agenda. Having said that, here is an itinerary that we might just stick to during your stay
Day 1 – Arrival & Grounding
Day 1 – Arrival:
Meet us at the airport and exhale — from here on, everything is taken care of
Scenic transfer along the Garden Route to The Manor House at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve
Time to settle in, unpack, and let the pace slow as the wild edges closer
Welcome dinner at the lodge, sharing stories, laughter, and first impressions
Meet the Wildest Vet team and the women you’ll be walking this journey with
This day is about arriving — not just physically, but fully.
Day 2 – Into the Field
Day 2 — Where Conservation Gets Real
Early breakfast and a packed lunch — the day moves with the needs of wildlife
A full day of vet-led conservation fieldwork
Go where the crisis is: hands-on veterinary work alongside our professional team
Learn, assist, observe, and contribute in ways most people never get access to
Real animals. Real stakes. Real impact
Return to the lodge tired, changed, and deeply fulfilled
Evening boma dinner around the fire
Story-sharing, reflection, and the kind of conversations that only happen after days like this
This is the heart of the experience — purposeful, raw, and profoundly grounding.
Day 3 – Culture, Connection & Care
Day 3 — Culture, Connection & Care
A slower, gentler morning — breakfast at the Manor House
Visit to a nearby local village
Morning tea in a local home, learning stories that don’t make it into guidebooks
Create a shweshwe craft gift — hands busy, hearts open
Lunch served back at the Manor House
Afternoon at your own pace:
A restorative spa session or
A horseback safari through the reserve
Evening dinner followed by traditional drumming
Music, rhythm, movement — a celebration of culture and shared humanity
Today is about balance — honouring people, rest, joy, and the softer layers of this work.
Day 4 – Walking softly, leaving changed
Day 4 — Walking Softly, Leaving Changed
Early morning bush walk with a local guide
Learn about the medicinal uses of fynbos and how nature sustains itself in balance
Quiet moments, open landscapes, final reflections
Return for breakfast snacks, followed by a relaxed brunch / lunch
Final goodbyes — the kind that feel like “see you again”
