South Africa isn’t just about politics and social issues. It also has a great deal of wildlife, and not just in the schools. One of the most famous places to view the larger species is Kruger National Park in the Limpopo Province. In additional to stalking the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, cape buffalo) there are numerous smaller species, like the baboon. Viewed by many as a menace, an organization called CARE, The Centre for Animal Rehabilitation and Education, focuses on rescuing orphaned baboons and helping them return to the wild. Volunteers work with the younger animals, and larger animals are given the chance to form troops before being gradually reintroduced to the wild. If you’ve always dreamed of having baby baboons crawl all over you, this is your place. http://www.primatecare.org.za/
