Babanago Game Reserve

05 September - 09 September 2025, Babanango Matatane Lodge

Discover Geology and Wildlife in One Unique Experience


WITS School of Geosciences and Babanango Game Reserve have partnered together to offer a unique experience that blends the luxury of a bush vacation with the rich educational insights of geology. This exclusive weekend getaway is the perfect opportunity to launch Earth Quest Solutions, a spinoff entity under the School of Geosciences that we hope will contribute towards a legacy for our students and the field of Geoscience as a whole. So join us for a celebration of heritage, marked by exploring ancient rocks that tell the story of our planet.


Babanango Game Reserve, a frequent destination for our students, is renowned for its remarkable geological formations that preserve evidence of early life. By joining forces, we aim to highlight Babanango’s growing legacy as a Big Five reserve while promoting the importance of geosciences and conservation. This collaboration is more than just a journey; it’s a uniquely African way to experience and communicate science, elevating Geo-Tourism in South Africa to new heights.
