Discover

Wake up to the roar of lions in the distance, track elephants through acacia scrub, and sleep beneath vast Southern skies. South Africa’s wild spaces are as diverse as they are awe-inspiring, from the lowveld bush of Kruger to hidden forest trails and windswept savannahs.

Nature Up Close & Untamed

Places That Tell Stories

From the energy of Johannesburg’s townships to the quiet rhythm of remote bush camps and the conservation efforts in game reserves, every place on this journey reveals a different side of South Africa. Each location offers a lens into how people live, protect, adapt, and thrive, shaped by history, nature, and community.

Connect

Whether you’re learning from township leaders, sharing stories around the fire, or joining hands on local projects, connection lies at the heart of every Red Kite adventure. These aren’t one-off encounters; they are the start of conversations that broaden perspectives and build lasting bonds.

With Communities

With Environments

From working alongside conservationists to learning how ecosystems thrive and fail, our trips are about more than seeing nature; they are about understanding it. You'll gain insight into the balance of life in the bush, the threats facing biodiversity, and the role we all play in protecting it.

Thrive

Push beyond your comfort zone, whether it’s tracking wildlife on foot, reflecting under open skies, or learning field skills from expert guides. Our adventures are designed to grow your confidence, deepen your understanding, and give you stories that shape who you are and how you move through the world.

Through Challenge

Through Purpose

Thrive isn’t just about personal growth; it is about contributing to something bigger. From supporting grassroots community projects to engaging in hands-on conservation, every moment is shaped by a shared commitment to meaningful, responsible travel.
