Education and Special Needs
A Unique Journey of Discovery
Through a range of specially created products, Highland Safaris guarantees to enhance your experience of the Scottish wilderness. With a passion and knowledge of the area, wildlife and the surrounding environment Highland Safaris have created a unique range of land rover safaris which allow educational groups and people with special needs to engage with the Scottish wilderness, creating a truly magical encounter with nature.
Schools and Educational groups
Education is most effective and most enjoyable when it is fun. Highland Safaris have developed exciting and fun activities for school groups that link into the National Curriculum and use our natural world as an ideal environment in which to develop new skills and promote life-long learning.
These activities are designed for nursery and primary school children of all ages and have two main elements:
- Nature Activities
These are based at our Safari Lodge and feature hands-on Gold and Gem Panning, as well as our Deer Park, Wildlife Discovery Garden and Viewpoint Trail. - Nature Safari
Join a friendly ranger and get up close the natural environment as you explore tracks, trails, views and clues on a Land Rover journey of discovery.
These two activities can be enjoyed independently or as a combined learning activity.
The activities are complemented by workbooks (and answer sheets) based on the National Curriculum, which have been developed by local teachers. We have three separate workbooks specifically designed for the following age groups. Nursery, Primary 1 - 4 and Primary 5 - 7.
Each workbook aims to develop appreciation, awareness, enthusiasm and responsibility for the natural world and will be emailed or posted to your school for printing or photocopying in advance of your visit.

“We enjoyed the safari into the hills. We saw hawks, hares and Deer. The Golden Eagle came by when we were having our tea at the Bothy. The telescope was also a big help to spot Deer. We will treasure this experience Thank you for sharing it with us.”
