Experiences

Citizen Scientist Programme

Join the reserve's research work — camera traps, species counts and river monitoring, hands on.

Lolelunga is a private reserve in active restoration, and guests are invited into the science of it. Check and reset camera traps with the team, log species counts, and help monitor the Lunga's remarkably clear waters and their otters, crocodiles and basking hippos.

It is conservation made participatory — and the data is real, feeding the reserve's rewilding programme long after you have flown home.
