Women's Wilderness Walk
In tribute to Dr Ian Player, 7 brave women embarked on a 5-day Wilderness Trail in iMfolozi Game Reserve from the 7th – 11th March 2015.

In doing so the 'Women in the Wilderness' are raising funds for Save Our iMfolozi Wilderness! The Save Our iMfolozi Wilderness (SOiW”) campaign was launched on 1 May 2014. It is a project of the Global Environmental Trust (GET) opposed to Ibutho Coal’s application for an open cast mine that threatens the world famous iMfolozi wilderness area,  as well as the health of neighbouring rural communities.

The Wilderness area is also home to the largest concentration of rhino in the world!

So who are these Women of the Wilderness??
