The Course
The Game Ranger Experience is for those people who wish to learn some of the principles of managing wildlife areas for conservation and preservation of the ecosystems. Game Rangers are the custodians of our wildlife areas and are responsible for ensuring that Africa's game and nature reserves are managed in a sustainable manner. Tasks that a game ranger has to perform include evaluating and monitoring all aspects of the ecosystem and then applying management principles to ensure that the ecosystem is kept in balance. These tasks include erecting and maintaining of fences and roads, the supply of water, counting, harvesting, capturing and moving animals, habitat management including the use of fire and measuring of veld (bush) conditions and the maintenance of camps and vehicles.
This Game Ranger Experience will give participants a taste of what it is like to be a game ranger in South Africa and it will focus on some of the more interesting aspects of the job including the counting and monitoring of animals, the maintenance of fences, the supply of water, and how to measure the physical condition of animals.
Of course you are also in the territory of most of the big African game species and so you will get to see these and the other wildlife during your trip.
Accommodation is comfortable here but not luxury - depending on the location you choose we offer a variety of tented accommodation from the basic dome tents to the more sophisticated walk-in tents on the ground and on raised platforms.
Our trips run at two stunning camps, Makuleke in Northern Kruger and Karongwe camp on the stunning Karongwe Game Reserve. Please check the details of these reserves via the hyperlinks here or from the left hand menu.
Prices do reflect the camp you got to, Karongwe and Makuleke are the more expensive camps.
