Christmas in July With EcoTraining

CREATING WORLD-CLASS SAFARI GUIDES AND PASSIONATE GUARDIANS OF NATURE


Can you believe that we just stepped into the second half of the year? Oh, and what a whirlwind the first half has been? All of us have been through a rollercoaster of events and it is safe to say that we are looking forward to the next chapter of 2020.

With that being said, EcoTraining wants to offer our fellow South African’s the opportunity to break free from the confinement everyone has endured over the last few months. Doesn’t an adventure into the African Bush sound inviting? You will get the chance to experience and learn from the vast wilderness only our continent can offer.

EcoTraining is the Pioneer and Leader of Safari Guide and Wildlife training and we aim to create Guides and Guardians of the natural world through practical and hands-on experiences in nature. All of our course participants live and learn from tented camps in big game wilderness areas. A complete immersion in nature and a guaranteed unforgettable experience.
