This is a camera-trap–focused research expedition, with a significant portion of the programme dedicated to the deployment, maintenance, and data collection of field equipment. That said, the experience is deliberately varied, and wildlife observation will remain a constant focus throughout the journey.
Participants can expect to gain a strong understanding of how camera traps function and why they are such a critical tool in modern conservation. Alongside the research work, the expedition will include river excursions, exceptional raptor viewing, guided night walks in the jungle, and a wide range of other wildlife-rich activities.
