Description:
| This 4-week course is run in partnership with South Africa’s most acknowledged and respected safari field guide training school which covers all the topics required for level one of the FGASA program (Field Guide Association of South Africa). Training complies with all the standards set out by governmental organizations and is led by renowned trainers. Subjects covered include: Ecology, Botany and Taxonomy as well as Tracking, Identification, Weapons Handling and Bush Driving.
The course is structured to maximise the practical experience of students in the bush. Each day allows for hours of time spent in the field interpreting the ecology and enjoying a wildlife experience in South Africa’s beautiful wilderness.
Over the years, field guiding has become more specialised and sophisticated while also supporting one of GVI’s main objectives: Sustainable Development. It is hoped that these courses on their own, or combined with a GVI expedition allow a greater understanding and involvement of our world’s habitats.
Courses are held in part of the greater Kruger National Park ecosystem, which is world renowned for wonderful game sightings. Comfortable accommodation is situated beneath shady trees on the banks of a river. Each tent sleeps 2 people. A full time chef prepares all meals and assists with camp cleanliness. | |
