About the course
Animal tracking course / safari holiday. South Africa. Camp fire under the African sunset.

Would you like to spend time in a totally unspoilt wilderness area learning some of the ancient skills possessed by the Trackers of yesteryear?

Why not join us for a spectacular five days along the banks of the Limpopo river on a truly unique safari experience hosted by an expert tracker!

You can expect to spend about six hours on foot each day learning to identify spoor and those inconspicuous clues that animals leave behind as an indication of their presence. You will learn some interesting tracking techniques as well as doing a few 'sharpening the senses' exercises.
