Game ranger course in South Africa

How this holiday makes a difference

Since it’s birth in 1993, the camp has had many goals, and a mission to raise the standard of guiding in Africa The camp was one of the first organisations to conduct formal training programmes for nature guides. For more than a decade we have been taking people of all ages and persuasions into the best of the African wilderness to teach them about the web of life in wild places.

Our exciting in-depth programmes build empathy with, and an understanding of, one of the planet's last great natural resources. We give students a greater appreciation of the deeper meaning of conservation in our lives and knowledge of what it really takes to become a game ranger.

Game ranger course in South Africa

Reviewed 26 Aug 2007 by Anders Tuxen5 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


For me, the Game Ranger Course was a one in a lifetime experience. Since the course I have done different safari trips around in Africa but I quickly realized that I will never experience the African wildlife and nature the same way again as I did on the Game Ranger Course. It is a unique opportunity to live and learn about the bush and I will never forget the first time I tracked a wild elephant on foot or droved off-road to see a family of lions eating a giraffe.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


The Gamer Ranger Course is not a tourist stunt but the real deal and people take this course to become real game rangers. The course is very intense in the way that you are surrounded by people 24-7 and that it is very hard work! One must realize that the Course include a comprehensive amount of theoretical study, tests and presentations and even though you are not forced to do all this it is definitely not a relaxed type of vacation.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


I guess that the Game Ranger Course is different then most normal volunteer projects and does not directly try to help local people or the environment. On the other hand the two instructors I had at the course were extremely knowledgeable and part of the course is to learn how to maintain a healthy ecosystem in a game park and how to minimize human impact.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


It has been an absolute amazing experience and is one of those things I wished I could still look forward to. It has been very hard work, sometimes a challenge but also one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.
