Southern Africa Field Guide Course

This course is a basic ranger & game reserve management course ideally suited as an introduction to the subject for those wishing to pursue a conservation orientated career, as well as for people wishing to improve their knowledge of wildlife conservation and game reserve management.

• A 4 week intensive course covering game ranger skills and conservation management techniques
• Gain tracking skills, learn how to identify bird calls and mammal spoors, gain 4x4 driving experience and learn how to survive in the African Bush
• Spend time amongst Swaziland’s spectacular animal and birdlife
• Learn from experienced and qualified local guides and course leaders

There is no entry level required to enroll for the course, other than an enthusiasm for nature and the outdoors. 

The course lasts for 4 weeks and you will receive accreditation for the course, which you will be able to use towards gaining possible employment in Game Reserves across Africa. To gain further experience we also encourage all volunteers to combine this with our 6 week Swaziland Game Reserve Project, which begins immediately after the course finishes and provides you with excellent hands-on work experience in a variety of game reserves within Swaziland.
