BioInspired! So What? Now What!

We are hosting the 5-day expedition twice this year. Once in May and once in October. This 5-day expedition takes you into the heart of the African bushveld for an African safari with a difference. Explore the genius of nature in the Kruger National Park, based in Skukuza. Be guided through the expedition by Biomimicry Professional, Claire Janisch. Local expert guides from Nsasani Trust will join the May expedition. In October, specialist biomimicry nature guide, Rob Janisch will join the group.

• Explore the genius of the African bushveld through guided experiences and deep observation activities: including bushveld walks, as well as day and night game drives.
