Introduction to Dangerous Game and African Wildlife Tracking

Real Time Exposure To The Mega Fauna of Africa

What To Expect?

Get taught how to deal with the dangerous animals of Africa. Humans have coexisted with the likes of lions, elephants and rhinos for centuries, therefore operating amongst these animals is more forgiving than one would anticipate. Whether you are a conservationist, ranger, field guide or simply a nature enthusiast, this course is designed to enhance your skills on dangerous animal behaviour, from a vehicle and on foot. You will be exposed to the iconic Big 5 of Africa and gaining further in-depth knowledge of other species which could potentially be dangerous. Learn how to prepare and be prepared in order to work safely in dangerous game areas all whilst residing in a semi-luxury tented camp in the heart of Big 5 territory.
