Wildlife Conservation Course Kruger

A lot has happened since I've been here. Typical day for me starts at 5.30am when I get up in time for the monkeys to start chattering and I watch the sun rise from the top of the watchtower.

Then we go on a bush walk for up to 3 hrs led by the daughter of the owner of the camp (Letitia). She knows the bush inside out and carries a gun, but she points out to us that we should never rely on it and use our skills instead.

After the bush walk, we lounge around for few hours then do some ‘work' e.g digging waterholes, repairing roads, managing erosion of the soil. Then is time for dinner that is prepared for us by Letitia's mum. It feels like we are a big family as opposed to tourists and everyone is incredibly friendly.
