We invite you to join us for a great experience.

We can trace WESSA’s roots back to 1883, but officially the organisation was formed on the 11th March 1926 as The Wildlife Protection Society of South Africa. At the time, a group of passionate individuals got together to campaign for the creation of a National Parks Board (now known as SANParks), to ensure the proclamation of the Kruger National Park, and to advocate the formation of other national parks in South Africa. WESSA continues this legacy of caring for the earth through our many diverse projects and partnerships around South Africa. In spite of the significant challenges facing our environment today, we celebrate the future of WESSA by acknowledging our members and stakeholders who work selflessly on behalf of the environment. Happy Birthday WESSA!!

The journey of discovering new things involves a lot of teaching and learning. WESSA Bush Pigs has historically always placed an emphasis on fun and active learning, adventure and personal growth. At the heart of what we do is a commitment to the environment demonstrated through our themed programs. We believe that learning should be highly relevant and engaging.
Our happy campers had an opportunity to go through 3 camps and also experience our fun and challenging mudstacle course. We look forward to more activities in the morning.

We are so thrilled host these beautiful souls. This week our theme is endangered species. Theme endangered species links very well with climate crisis and its impact on wildlife and natural environment that sustains life on earth. Leaners will be rotating across 3 different camps for the next 4 nights learning about waste management, pollution, medicinal plants, water conservation, biodiversity and ecosystems, and how to cook an environmentally friendly meal with less impact on climate via our special activity called the Environmental Restuarant commonly known as ER.

Follow us as we educate and inspire these future leaders.

A rare sight to see all siblings basking together outside the burrow this morning from our hike. We are protecting our special species.
