RAINFOREST Tours in collaboration with the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) is once again organising a safari to the South Rupununi.
Rainforest Tours has led the Pakaraimas Mountain Safari for many years, and over recent years has been conducting the safari to South Rupununi.For this year’s safari, which will take place from November 24-29, registration is still open.
Frank Singh, of Rainforest Tours, said that 15 persons have so far expressed interest and registration should wrap up by next Friday.
The Safari offers the opportunity to explore little known villages of the South Rupununi.
The trip includes camping in the open and driving for miles in the flat savannahs. In total,the safari takes participants on a journey of 1, 000 miles.
This tour not only benefits the participants because the indigenous people get opportunities to showcase their culture and market their produce.
The Safari will pass through 14 Amerindian villages.
The journey includes places such as Lethem and Dadawana Ranch.
Some of the main sites Singh encourages participants to look out for are the Bottle Mountain, the Kanuku Mountains, Shea Village and the Shea Rock, Petroglyphs, over 400 species of birds and a visit to the corral to see the vaqueros tame wild horses, brand steers, tan leather and roundup cattle.

Persons are encouraged to come on board the safari. Admission per vehicle is $15,000 and those who don’t have a vehicle can pay $60,000, all-inclusive.
