CONSERVATION THROUGH EDUCATION IS ESSENTIAL / NATUURBEWARING DEUR OPLEIDING IS NOODSAAKLIK
** DUE TO OUR SMALL SELECT GROUP VISITS AT ANY TIME, BOOKINGS CAN BE WAIT LISTED FOR OVER A YEAR IN ADVANCE **.
If it rains all Tours may be cancelled due to wildlife behaviours in certain weather conditions - we do not work with fed or tamed animals here.
Our focus is not on large scale over priced tourism but rather around very limited numbers of small group visits with conservation minded guests not wanting the standard 'check-list' crowded commercialised tourism. Visits are also not available at certain times of the year to ensure that the wild meerkats on The Meerkat Magic Valley Reserve are not disturbed by any observers.

A booking Info Guide for your Wildlife Tours: What is The Meerkat Magic Project?
Submitted by Grant on Monday, June 07 @ 15:09:49 UTC Tame meerkats are nothing like wild meerkats. It would be the same as saying that a tame dog behaved the same as a wild wolf. When the highly selective habituation techniques are in place, wild animals are not influenced by the observers presence but remain wild.
Walking your dog is not the same experience as walking with wolves, and nor is having a tame meerkat the same as working with or walking with wild habituated meerkats as at Meerkat Magic!
