Elisabeth Cummings is going on Safari. Join us on the trip of a lifetime where we will combine an art adventure with wildlife, wilderness and the culture of this world renowned destination - South Africa. Teeming with a huge variety of animals and birdlife, the continent is home to the giants of the wild – elep hant, rhino and hippo , the fastest (Cheetah) and of course the king of them all - the African lion. The animals roam freely around the two private, but very different bush camps we will visit and which adjoin the famous Kruger National Park.

The expedition departs Johannesburg International airport for a short one hour flight to the bush. Not long after take-off you’ll be viewing wildlife from your window and then be whisked away from civilization as the sights, sounds and smells of the bush take over. Our first 5 days will be spent at charming Kirkmans Kamp, where you will experience the highest level of personalised service in luxury all-inclusive twin-share accommodation. Set high on a rise, the camp offers magnificent views a nd glimpses of the Sabi River. Daily 4 wheel drive excursions are taken early morning and at sunset in the hands of expert rangers and trackers who will ensure you enjoy the thrill of tracking down the Big Five. Spend the rest of the day painting and drawing with Elisabeth or just relaxing and taking in the view.

On the 6th day, a chartered bus will take us for a 3 hour drive north to explore new surroundings. Ngala Camp is set in lush surrounds and is where you will spend the final 4 nights in laid back ambiance and traditional safari comfort. Antelope and lion are regular visitors - it is not unusual to see lion drinking from the swimming pool! Look forward to a new adventure each day which will include excursions to waterholes and viewing areas to provide painting and drawing opportunities.  

Elisabeth says:  “I am captivated by the primeval power of the African animals set against the soft meandering pa lette of the bushveld.  It has been a lifelong dream to visit Africa.”
 
It will be hard for you to drag yourself away from the best sunsets in the world and fireside dinners under the stars, but at some stage the journey must end!

Due to the use of bush airstrips and charter flights, numbers are strictly limited. This unique trip which gives you the opportunity to explore, travel and paint with Elisabeth Cummings offers only 10 places at this stage.

Please note that in the unlikely event that Elisabeth Cummings is not be able to travel and host the Safari art experience, ArtWorkshops Australia reserves the right for another respected teaching artist to attend in her place.
