Ulovane Update- 13 May 2012 After ending the fourth week, we have really started to get to grips with the program, Amakhala, and the never-ending surprises found in the bush. The week consisted of studying reptiles, birds, and fish. A bit of a pity though that most of the reptiles have started to disappear as [...]

1st Update April 10 Week Students This first week has been particularly hectic, getting used to our new home whilst studying for our first exam has been a challenge but one accepted by all of us new recruits. The view from the camp is enough to distract anyone but the most hardened soul from study. [...]

The first two days of this week were fun, tiring and dirty… Conservation Management… (when we go out and mend roads, help with bush encroachment control, prevent erosion)… In short, it is a time where we get our hands… and sometimes more… dirty! On Monday, while Annie was taking our poor Asher who had tick [...]

We are almost done now; wrote our last “normal” exams and looking more or less forward to our FGASA exam and our mock and assessment drives. It’s a strange feeling that it is nearly over by know and we had great time with a lot of fun and a lot of work and hopefully we [...]

But this isn’t very surprising, seeing how interesting and intense our program is. We all had a really good week last week, because this week [...]

It’s the end of our third week during our level one nature guide course.  The week started off bright and early with Sarah keeping us on the edge of our seats during the mammals, taxonomy and ethology lectures well most of us anyway. After the lectures we went on a game drive in Amakhala game [...]

Today is the 29. November 2011. That means that there are only eleven days left of our time here with Ulovane. We all finished the Field Nature Guide course one week ago. Unfortunately is that we only get our results of the last final exam in January. However the time at Amakhala Game Reserve & Ulovane was [...]

Masked Weavers making a nest Week 8 @Ulovane This week has seen the start of everyone’s practical assessments. I undertook my first solo guided walk on Ulovane Reserve. On my walk we saw a small antelope called a Duiker We got within 5m of him, which was awesome. We also came across a massive leopard [...]

Good Morning from a very cold and wet Eastern Cape. We have had over 90mm in the last 24 hours and the rain continues to fall – just as we thought summer was on its way! Luckily the students managed to come through to Port Alfred last week and enjoy a bit of snorkelling, deep sea [...]
