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.

Cheetah family Thinking back about this last week, I suddenly realized that we have already (!!) reached the middle of the course… and how, like during all good things, time flies here! 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 [...]
