The content of the explorer kit will vary depending on availability of the items but will include some of the following items: sling bag, lunch box & water bottle, activity book, explorer check-list, note pad and colouring pencils. Back in the camp the children can use their newly-found knowledge when completing their activity books and bush quiz with their guide and/or parents. If you wish, go on an evening/ night game drive.
