Itinerary

Visit one of the most important and ancient geological wonders in the world. Dating back 3.5 billion years ago, in other words the oldest rock formations in the world. The Makhonjwa Mountains of the Barberton green stone belt are now on the UNESCOs World heritage site programme. The geo-trail uses richly illustrated panels that draw aside the mysteries of arcane geological communication and reveal the significance of this area. The Geo-trail is a bucket list candidate, and something for everyone from families on leisure breaks to geology students to enjoy.

From here we head to Chimp Eden situated within the beautiful 1,000-hectare Nature reserve outside of Nelspruit. The Jane Goodall Institute is home to chimps that have poached from their natural habitats in Africa.

The goal of the sanctuary is to rescue chimpanzees that have survived the bush meat trade, the illegal pet trade, or rescued from Circuses, beach resorts and night clubs. The South African chimpanzee sanctuary is proud to be part of the Jane Goodall Institute.
