The
thoughts of Lizel Cramer, your host
and wildlife tutor
I
have been training field guides
for SA game farms and lodges for
the past six years, and worked with
lodges and guests alike who would
really like to learn more about
our vast bushveld than the average
tourist to our country.
I
have been frequently asked for programmes
and courses by visitors from other
countries. A few have joined the
normal game ranger course, aimed
at people who want to make a career
of game ranging. Unfortunately the
pace for most visitors was just
too fast, too tough and not what
they expected at all. I finally
decided to put together a programme
which, I think, has some fun and
excitement, good accommodation,
good food and more outings.
The
proper ranger courses are held at
a training centre and involves a
lot of theory work and studying.
If you have joined one of our programmes
and you still wish to do the genuine
course, you now will at least have
a basic foundation to fall back
on.
