Namibia Field Guide Training Programme
This course is the perfect combination of wildlife, conservation, game drives and walks, education and fun! If you are keen to learn about the wildlife of Africa and their delicate ecosystems within the National parks and reserves, then this is the programme for you!
The Programme
Spend your six weeks training for the FGASA Level 1 exam, enjoying the great outdoors amongst the stunning scenery. The Namibian Field Guide Training Programme is ideally suited to the adventurous traveller, seeking a unique educational wildlife experience in one of Africa’s last remaining open wilderness areas.
The Caprivi strip is a piece of a different Africa; a verdant land of woodlands and flood plains where rivers never run dry, interconnected by the mighty Zambezi river, the Okavango Delta and Chobe River, lying in the north-east Kalahari desert.
This programme operates in the most beautifully wild areas of the Caprivi Region, surrounded by an abundance of wildlife such as Kudu, African Wild Dog, Cheetah, Hyena, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Lion.
Please Note: This programme will be restructured towards the end of 2008 ready in time for the 2009 volunteers. Therefore, this itinerary may vary from the information above: please speak to the Africa team for further information.
