16. Noah's Ark (Mokala National Park)
  • 6 years ago
In this episode, five young adventurers take you on a wild Zebra Bus ride to experience a modern day version of Noah's Ark. In a fast developing South Africa our wild places are getting fewer, and they are no longer connected to one another. One park plays an especially important role: rare animals are bred here, and sometimes brought here from elsewhere so they can be safe - and then they have placed out again to other parks to restock them.

A real Noah's Ark! Mokala National Park has a calming sensation, with its gentle mic of landscapes that have both Karoo and Kalahari soils. The adventurers become re-acquainted with their ancestral past, discovering rock paintings of the wild animals, which were painted by the Khoisan 'First Peoples' eons ago. This discovery excites the young adventurers; they trace the Khoisan footsteps, in search of these wild animals. The young spirits enjoy discovering and learning about new things and there are plenty here.

They are left with a sense of awe as they roam with the park's wild endangered species, and even get to witness first hand how Cape Buffalo are caught and put in enclosures until they will be relocated to other regions where their genes are needed.
