Children's Programme

Chitwa Chitwa's pride has always been its special hospitality to children.

Children Activities include:

Daily bushwalks within the enclosed camp area. Walks are guided by an educator who will offer the young rangers the opportunity to learn about and identify the beautiful fauna and flora in the area. Basic bush skills are taught such as how to to survive in the bush, what plants to eat and how to build a basic shelter.

A face painting session where children enjoy a Big 5 masquerade

Making spoor moulds of animal tracks with plaster of paris and painting them.

Evenings spent roasting marshmallows and sipping hot chocolate while listening to enchanting folk tales as told by an "intokoto" (the Shangaan term used to describe a person with lots of life experiences).

Chitwa Chitwa story books are placed on children's beds during turn down in the evenings. These fairytales include traditional local bedtime stories such as "When the elephant was King" and "When the hippo was hairy".
