Objectives
Join our guided tour and experience the wonders of nature with the help of our well-trained guides who highlight features, plants, animals and anything else of interest and beauty. The journey includes guided visits of various attractions in the Lower Area of KFBG and an experiential activity that connects the mind and body. Participants can learn about local biodiversity and its challenge, conservation of flora and fauna, organic farming, and sustainable living. We encourage a life-long passion for nature, conservation and ecology by nurturing an appreciation of the natural world.
