The EcoQuest is a fascinating nature
programme based on
the Safari
Guide Training
Course.
Ideal for those
people who want to
obtain an in-depth
knowledge of the
amazing variety of
living organisms
that exist in the
African ecosystem
and in nature
around us.
In
addition to
learning about the
behaviour and
identification of
many of the myriad
insects, spiders,
scorpions, other
small creatures
and birds in our
ecosystems, you
will also learn
about the
underlying
elements that
support this
amazing variety of
life such as the
geology, soils,
plants and
climate.
Testimonial:
Dear
Afreco,
Just back from
the
EcoQuest course
which I would
highly recommend
to anyone, it
was excellent.
Pafuri is an
outstanding
location Group
of 15 like
minded people
ages from 30 to
70, from all
countries
Holland,
Switzerland,
Germany, South
Africa
Accommodation
and food were
very good
Organisation was
very efficient
You spend half a
day walking and
the other half
in the jeep ~ so
if walking in
the morning it
would be a 4
hour walk
stopping and
learning as you
go. They also
have a morning
lecture and so
the day is
really very full
I am interested
in other such
projects for
2011 and if you
have any
suggestions then
they would be
welcome.
Best wishes,
Peter
Whilst
studying how these
smaller organisms
interact with one
another and their
environment, you
will also have the
opportunity to learn
identification and
behaviour of the
larger wild animals
that roam these
wilderness
areas.
All the big
predators such as
lion,
leopard,
cheetah and
spotted hyena
occur on this
game reserve
and they prey on
the variety of
plains game
species such as
kudu, impala,
duiker, nyala,
wildebeest,
giraffe, zebra and
warthog. Spending
8 hours out in the
bushveld every day
provides countless
opportunities to
study the various
animal tracks and
have the
opportunity to
track and find the
game on foot or by
vehicle!
Accommodation
is comfortable here
but not luxury - you
will stay in walk-in
safari style tents
on the ground at
Karongwe and on
raised platforms in
Makuleke.
The Ecoquest trips
run at two stunning
camps, Makuleke
(in northern Kruger)
and Karongwe
actually on the
Karongwe Game
Reserve, please
check the details of
these reserves via
the hyperlinks here
or from the left
hand menu. Please
not that most of the
2008 courses are
held on the Makuleke
camp with the
September course
being held on both
Makuleke and
Karongwe camps.
If
there is a
date that you
wanted to
attend, but it
is fully
Booked, then
please please
do not
hesitate to contact
usas
we might be
able to
suggest
something
else!
