During an EcoTraining Field Guide Course, you learn about everything related to nature, conservation, animals and guides. A big part of the knowledge you acquire is about trees. When it came to trees, many of my fellow students and I did not overflow with joy during my 35-day practical with EcoTraining. However, our perspective soon changed once we studied them closely.
The romance of the bush often has people wanting to embark on a journey into a new career, whether it be as a Game Ranger or as a Safari/Field Guide.
The draw of the bush, the lure of the wilderness and the excitement of adventure bring people to Africa and the bush from all walks of life.
When I think about summer, the text line “Summertime and the Living is Easy” from Ella Fitzgerald immediately pops up in my head. We all know the feeling a beautiful summer can give us: long sunny days, a relaxing vacation, good vibes, food, and music. You might get it already, a summer in the African bush looks a little bit different. Nevertheless, it is extraordinary and challenging in many ways.
