Accommodation and food The accommodation is newly built and has a distinctly African feel about it, full of vibrant colours and comfortable seating areas. Alternatively you are more than welcome to kick back and relax at the reserve, making the most of the swimming pools, tennis courts and excellent leisure facilities. You have the option of getting out of the reserve to explore the local area and sample a bit of city life in Port Elizabeth. Weekends The fun doesn't stop at the weekends either. Informal lectures will help you to get to grips with the syllabus and learn a tremendous amount about all animals, the environment and various ecosystems. An average day could see you helping with conservation efforts in the reserve with a giraffe standing by. The reserve The reserve is home to many other species outside of the Big 5 (lions, African elephants, cape buffalo, leopard and rhino). At the end of this diverse 8 week programme, living in the heart of a Big 5 reserve, you can take your field guide exams to get your qualification. Working alongside the local rangers, you can help with the introduction of African mammal species, tagging and relocating animals, as well as educating others about the amazing creatures that you will come into contact with. As part of this course, local rangers will give you insight into astronomy, geology, weather, ecology, animal identification and animal behaviour. The course Not only does the course give you an insight into the running of a park, it also sets you up for your FGASA (Field Guide Association of South Africa) Apprentic Field Guide certificate, recognised across Africa. From game counts to relocation, from fence patrols to vegetation rehabilitation, all of the skills that you develop give you experience of life as a game ranger. Seeing the Big 5 in Africa is a must: but why not go deeper into your love for wildlife by actually training to be a game ranger in South Africa? This 8 week game ranger course opens you up to life in a Big 5 Game Reserve. Description of South Africa game ranger course
