WITS School of Geosciences 120 year celebration

Discover Geology and Wildlife in One Unique Experience

The WITS School of Geosciences and Babanango Game Reserve have partnered to offer an unparalleled experience that blends the luxury of a bush vacation with the rich educational insights of geology. This exclusive weekend getaway is timed perfectly to coincide with the 120th anniversary of the School of Geosciences—a celebration of heritage, marked by exploring the 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 GeoTourism in South Africa to new heights.
