Venom Day 2025 (free event)
Hosted by Jonathan Leeming
Saturday 13th September, 10am to 12:00pm
Join Jonathan Leeming for a question and answer session focusing upon venomous animals and their bites and stings. The idea is simple. Participants forward any questions that they want answering before the event. These questions will be used to direct the conversation during the session. Anything venom related goes, from bites and stings, how venom works, antivenom manufacture, first response, allergic reactions to venom, biotechnology, the latest research and more.
This event is suitable for ages 13 to 65 years old (and wiser). Not children under 13 will be permitted.
Need a map to the hiking trails?
Kloofendal Nature Reserve offers hiking trails of up to 4km. Mix and match the trails for a longer walk if you prefer. All hiking trails are family friendly and accessible for the reasonably fit.
