UP CLOSE

No matter how huge or how tiny, getting up close to wild creatures, rare plants or a newly discovered species is a privilege and a thrill!

Being here is about getting up close, hands on and immersed in our ongoing support of good conservation practices and the Getty Asterism vision:

  • Hands on management of game within the reserve.
  • Preventative action against rhino poaching: the Munywana Conservancy’s pioneering dehorning process.
  • Game darting and working with Reserve professionals and wildlife vets.
  • Research and monitoring: ear notching for indentification in the field, DNA sampling, data collections disease serology.
  • Animal reintroduction and translocation.
  • Camera Trapping: set up and monitor camera traps to discover animal movements or rarely seen animal species to aid in animal research projects.
  • Bird Ringing: species idenfication, distribution, migratory patterns, population health, life cycles and behaviours.
  • Birding with a specialised guide, on foot or driving, 435 bird species, 5 endemic bird species, photographic hide.
  • Tracking on foot.
  • Frogging in gumboots and head torches: wading in wetlands and pans using calls to identify and locate.
  • Night driving with Infra-Red Camera equipment: follow animals and their nocturnal behaviour with minimal interference.
  • Work with the Getty Asterism Ecologists: vegetation assessments, ecological restoration, attend to the tree nurseries, explore geology and fossil beds, monitor and identify rare habitats and flora.
