DABCHICK EXPERIENCE
Rewilding in the African Bush
NEW! Dabchick’s Rewilding Programme
JANUARY 2026
NEW! Dabchick’s Rewilding Programme in the Waterberg, Limpopo
Dabchick Wildlife Reserve (DWR) has operated for more than thirty years and is dedicated to rewilding the Alma Valley and greater Waterberg District of Limpopo, South Africa. It has successfully rewilded 1 500 ha of formerly marginal and ecologically degraded agricultural land, transforming it into a comfortable nature-based retreat and an active learning environment where visitors can engage with rewilding, conservation practice and the complex ecological relationships that define the region’s biodiversity.
The DWR Rewilding Programme offers groups of up to 12 participants the chance to experience practical, hands-on rewilding in a functioning bushveld reserve.
