Peter ČisárikSlovakia · October 2026

Highly recommended place!

I did my month and a half long herpetological internship there. It is an amazing place in the heart of the South African savannah. If you really enjoy fieldwork, as I do, this is the right place to spend time in. The people working in the reserve are also very kind, friendly, and helpful. I would definitely like to come back one day.
