Vuyani, through Samara Private Game Reserve’s participation, is a beneficiary of Pack for a Purpose, an initiative that allows travelers to make a lasting impact in the community of their travel destination. If you save just a few kilos of space in your suitcase and take supplies for the projects we support, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of our local children and families.
