Disconnect to re-connect
Mobile service coverage is not available at Arkaba Conservancy. Guides have satellite phones and radios that can be used in an emergency. There is no power at the bush camps so please make sure cameras are fully charged and spare batteries packed if necessary. We recommend bringing your own solar power bank.
At first, it might be confronting to not have easy accessible to technology – though over the few days, it becomes the aspect that our walkers love the most. A complete disconnection from the everyday, reconnecting with themselves and nature.
By joining a walk on the private wildlife conservancy, you’re not only witnessing an environment in recovery, you’re actively participating its revival. You’ll see and hear the results of active conservation as you walk through the landscape and meet the wildlife in the company of passionate field guides.
