WESSA Bush Pigs Outdoor Education Centre

Nestled on 260ha close to the foothills of the Waterberg in Limpopo, Bush Pigs Environmental Education Centre has been operating since 1987 and became WESSA’s fourth environmental education centre in 2009 linking together with three Kwa-Zulu Natal based WESSA centres. Bush Pigs hosts approximately 3,200 learners annually from schools in Gauteng, Limpopo and from Botswana. The Centre is one of Limpopo’s premier education centres providing top quality environmental awareness, leadership development and outdoor adventure programmes and houses the first Sustainability Commons in the area. Bush Pigs is comprised of four unique camps set in different environments on two privately owned farms and offers a range of challenging activities for learners. The two farms offer a diversity of habitats including grasslands, rocky ridges plunging into a ravine, bushveld savannah and a perennial stream with the adjacent wetland. A variety of animal species including antelope, zebra, giraffe and rhino are found in the area.
