The EcoQuest course is a fascinating nature programme based on the Safari Guide Training Course. Ideal for those people who want to obtain an in-depth knowledge ofthe 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.
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.
Prices do reflect the reserve and camp you got to, Karongwe and Makuleke are the more expensive camps.
