In a world where everything can be done online, why not use an immersive digital experience to learn about and experience the natural world?
Since 2020, the team at EcoTraining has pushed conservation boundaries and worked diligently to create five courses that have seen physical African bush experiences come alive in a world of online information and learning.
Dehorning is an effective strategy used with other methods, such as anti-poaching monitoring and security, to decrease rhino-poaching in southern Africa. Dehorning is only considered a last resort after carefully evaluating what level of security is in place. Otherwise, rhinos are highly likely to be poached, regardless of whether they are dehorned.
As part of our 30th birthday celebration, EcoTraining is thrilled to unveil our revamped website.
During the several months I spent in the bush, I saw simply unique places. I don’t remember a day when I woke up and wasn’t stunned by something!

I heard a report coming in on the radio about a lion that had killed a bush pig, and I was fascinated by the behaviour of animals in the wild. The story had a surprising twist when we arrived at the scene.
As someone who cares deeply about the natural environment, I know that guides and rangers work together to conserve and manage wilderness areas worldwide.
Are you dreaming of a career as a guide? However, you might have heard rumours about what makes an excellent guide and are still determining if this is for you.
When I think about Africa, I think of a safari. I see people travelling worldwide to view the magnificent wildlife and scenic game reserves only Africa can offer. Some prefer to jump in their vehicles and explore the wilderness independently, while others feel more comfortable with a specialist guide. The upside of taking a guided safari is that you will be entertained and educated for the entire duration of your safari. An interpretive safari creates meaningful and unexpected encounters when you least expect them.
