  Ray Mears – a great supporter of Children in Need - is offering what really will be a trip of a lifetime.
  You’ll be Leopard Spotting in Namibia with Ray, on a 5-day trip supported by the Global Leopard Project.
  
  THE PACKAGE
  
  On an agreed date next year to fit in with Ray’s diary and also the reserve in Namibia you’ll fly out with Ray and you’ll stay in comfortable accommodation. You won’t be sleeping in the bush.
  
  The trip will run for 5 days with 2 days travelling and 3 days tracking leopards.
  
  The Global Leopard Project will host you and will explain all about leopards and show you how the project is protecting them. Since they have leopards on the reserve with radio tags there’s a very good chance you will be getting very close to them.
  
  Over the three days you’ll be particularly travelling out to the bush in the early mornings and late evenings. You’ll be with Ray and the local guides and Ray will teach you tracking skills and bush-craft as you explore the nature and the wildlife.
  
  You’ll probably also see other game such as lions, cheetahs and rhinos.
  
  We can only take one person though.
