Our Kenya Safari guide course is in full swing and the students already had some amazing sightings. With Mount Kenya as a backdrop, landscapes teeming with wildlife and an experienced Kenyan instructor you will not have a dull moment.
Not to mention all the activity going on in and around our southern African camps. Anything from lions killing a Nyala a few meters from camp to great sightings on foot and game drives to even better educational opportunities.
South Africa’s stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity make it a top destination for wildlife encounters. Its iconic Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes—were once considered challenging animals to track; now, they symbolize wildlife conservation and tourism. Let’s explore these magnificent creatures and the best places to see them in the wild.
The days in a Field Guiding Course can be long, filled with so many new things to learn. Andrea discusses the schedule during her course, the 35-day practical with EcoTraining in Pridelands. She describes the daily tasks that students encounter and provides an overview of a typical day.
