INFORMATION ABOUT BECOMING A GAME RANGER ... This 6 Week Game Ranger Training
course is situated in the Big 5 Private Game Reserve located in the Eastern Cape
of South Africa. You will get a first-hand and practical insight into what it
means to become a Game Ranger by completing your Level One field guide syllabus,
which is accredited by the FGASA (Field Guide Association of South Africa). This
Gap Year course is very hands on and is ideal for people that want to take their
passion for conservation to the next level. It is also possible to add this 6
week Game Ranger Training Course on to any of our other conservation or community
based programmes.
There is no minimum entry level required for the course,
but a basic knowledge of game conservation and the veld would be helpful. The
only requirements are an international driver's licence and registration with
the FGASA.
All aspects of conservation and survival skills will be covered
as you learn to become a Game Ranger, helping to give you a greater understanding
of the African bush and how to manage a game farm.
At the end of the course,
students will be required to complete both a practical and theoretical examination.
Students who pass the exam will be awarded a certificate of success and will leave
their gap year in South Africa with an entry-level qualification in field guiding.
Accommodation While
you learn to become a Game Ranger, you will stay in basic, purpose-built accommodation
on the reserve. To further develop your wilderness skills you may be required
to sleep out in the bush under the African sky. The rest of the time you will
be sharing a room with one other person and sharing bathrooms. There is a maximum
of 8 people per course.
Time
Off Due to the nature of the Game Ranger training, free time is minimal.
Evenings are spent at leisure and can be spent relaxing in the course accommodation,
and trips to the local town can be organised.
