Starting the day with a magical session of Boga (Bush Yoga) under a 300 year old wild fig tree on our recent Rhino Guarding Adventure (not all were brave enough to brace the cold ๐).
...And ending the session with this message from @Katia Dias, our bush loving Boga instructor:
"Be kind. Be as kind as you can to as many people as you can and as often as you can. Imagine what the world would be like...."

Our Bush Babes Conservation Adventures Rhino Guarding Adventure has been one of our most popular conservation adventures since we hosted the very first of its kind for civilians in 2014. Our next one is from 12 to 14 July in the mini Serengeti.

3-5 May our Rhino Guarding Anti Poaching Adventure takes place in the 'mini Serengeti'. Leilani Basson completed her Anti Poaching Course in order to put together a compacted women's APU weekend adventure for the Babes.

What a blast from the past! So much fun looking back on our Bush Babes Conservation Adventures 5 in 1 Sabie and Surrounds Adventure Weekend in 2017. The Big Swing was one of five adventures we took on over two days. The others were Tobogganing, Ziplining, Geckoing and 'Ghost Hunting'.

Fun and stimulating for the vervets and therapy for the soul for all the Bush Babes Conservation Adventures members involved. Our recent monkey outreach to Bambelela Wildlife Care NPC & Vervet Monkey Rehab was a great success!

"Wat as ek my tande uitspoeg?" Ouma Babe just cracked us up during our last bokdrolspoeg competition. Bush Babes Conservation Adventures are very serious about bokdrospoeg...especially when there are new Babes who have never done it before. In goeie Afrikaans sal ons sรช: "Babe-wees en bokdrolspoeg loop soos boude." ๐คฃ๐
Everyone just loves our look and brand.

Ranger Raymond, our very entertaining guide and protector on our recent Bush Babes Conservation Adventures Predator Sleepout experience at Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, where we were allowed to camp in the open at the Predator Park, right next to the lions! Here Raymond gives instructions on how to use our very luxurious ablutions off the beaten track.

First time Bush Babe, Natascha, shares her thoughts on her first Bush Babes Conservation Adventures experience. We are so blessed to be doing what we do. Not only because we are doing our bit for conservation, but we are uplifting women and building them up through experiences they never thought possible.

The Babes accompanying us on our recent Bush Babes Conservation Adventures Game Vet Adventure, were extremelt fortunate to be part of a buffalo relacation procedure with our team of Vets and wildlife experts. The Babes expfirst hand hoe complicated moving especially dangerous wildlife can be...and just how unpredictable animal behaviour, the terrain and weather conditions can be...and how important it is to be prepared for any and every situation. Thank you Dr James Roxburgh for making this possible!

As with all Bush Babes Conservation Adventures first ever experiences over the years, it takes a lot of grit and perseverance to make them happen. Leilani Basson , owner and founder of Bush Babes has not taken no for an answer in 13 years.
Pulling off the first ever civilian rapelling from a helicopter, after also securing the first ever civilian Special Forces Adventures with G73 Tactical Advisors , is an accomplishment that stands out in Bush Babes' rich history. The fact that these first civilian groups were normal women,moms, housewives, career women etc makes this accomplishment all the more admirable.
It took Leilani a few years to do the ground work for her dream of a women's only Special Forces Experience as well as the rapelling adventure. It took years of networking, finding the right people, getting them to agree to a meeting, selling them the concept and getting them to buy in to making these impossible dreams come true for ordinary women like you and me.
Many similar adventures have been built on Leilani's original Bush Babes dream. Her groundwork still enables participants of these adventures to enjoy the fruits of one woman's tenacity, endurance, patience and perseverance through the organisation hosting these excursions today.
May this incredible achievement and unforgettable memory in Bush Babes history serve to remind us that making the impossible possible, is within every woman's reach. Yes, it will be hard, yes it will be challenging, yes you will get ample no's and naysayers wanting to squash your dreams, yes it will take long and yes your pioneering ideas and concepts will be imitated and presented by others in future, but it will still be worth every moment, because it was a seed planted in your heart for a Higher Purpose that has sprouted further and with more ferver than you ever imagined. Stay committed to that dream, no matter what.

Sundowners and dinner on the lions viewing deck, as well as a night in the bush at Boschpoort Predators inside Mabalingwe Nature Reserve was on the menu this past weekend on our Bush Babes Conservation Adventures year end bush breakaway. Having dinner under the stars with lions roaring right next to us, was truly amazing! We are very proud to be the first group ever allowed to do this! We cannot wait for the next one!
