Course Description

a typical day on this gap project

Due to the nature of this project, each day will be different. Tasks could include tracking wildlife, observing the animals during wildlife surveys, conservation management in terms of tree planting and erosion control. Maintenance is also required at times, ensuring the fences are intact and strong. Although safaris are popular, this project allows you to learn about the animals, see them in their true habitat and observe them every day. You may see the rare animals when they emerge to sunbathe or hunt, witness interactions between animals and species and leave with incredible memories. If you want to experience the natural savanna and all that resides within it, this is a fantastic way to do it.
