Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live and work as a trained, qualified game ranger? Do you want to learn more about the African bush than other people, or do you simply have a passion for wildlife? Whatever your desire, this project has been constructed exclusively for you. This project has been operating for more than 10 years and is conducted by qualified game rangers and will ensure all participants a life changing experience.
This project is operated in the Limpopo Province, renowned for its world class game viewing. This area of South African is arguably one of the most talked about areas in the world, with regards to game viewing. Students will be accomodated in luxury tents in a BIG 5 safari reserve, where often animals such as elephants and lions walk through the camp. By the end of your 28 day practical experience you will know far more than any other tourists, and you may possibly fall in love with the African bush (as is the case for hundreds of international students).
Africa Calling offers wildlife and nature courses that give students an understanding of wildlife ecosystems and their inhabitants. We provide students with practical exposure to the diverse aspects of the natural environment in a big game area under the guidance of an experienced instructor and tracker. In addtion our courses focus on guest relationship skills and the safe conduction of game drives and walks in a big game environment.

Students will be collected from Johannesburg airport, and will be transferred by road to the safari reserve. This course is characterised by the highest quality of education available to aspiring people, in addition to the education there are practical activities such as shooting and driving. By the end of your course you will be taking people on game drives and you will be able to inform them on all of the wildlife you see! We hope that this information has begun to entice you into the amazing life of the game ranger. Every day is different, and when you wake up in the morning to the sounds of the lions, you have no idea what the day has in store for you, see you in South Africa soon.
