RAPTOR ROUTE - HEARTLAND NORTHWEST SAFARI TRAIL

Raptor Bateleur Goshawk

Raptor conservation relies on habitat conservation. By traveling through a variety of habitats ranging from Marico Bosveld, Vryburg Shrub Bushveld, Highveld to Kalahari Thornveld, an understanding of the threats to raptors and the important role habitat conservation plays, can be gained.

The Raptor Route Safari Trail encapsulates the essence of the Kalahari, with its memorable sunrises and sunsets punctuating the transition from day to night.

Traveling via places such as Rustenburg and Zeerust to Botsalano Game Reserve, and then following the Molopo River via Mothibastad, Moloporivier, Bray and Watersend to the Molopo Nature Reserve, returning via Tosca, Piet Plessis and Terrafirma, places in names not always in presence, this 4 day, 3 night safari trail will provide you with an extraordinary perspective on the forgotten North West.
