This 5-day course will open up a new world to the naturalist, with the focus being on the identification and interpretation of the tracks and signs left behind by the incredible diversity of wildlife in the South African Lowveld.
As your ‘Environmental literacy’ skills are honed, you will become more situationally aware, and will therefore feel more at home in your natural environment.
The course follows the CyberTracker structure and standards, culminating in a CyberTracker Track & Sign Assessment on the final day.
Passion. Experience. Quality.
A typical day starts with a wake-up call prior to sunrise. As the birds announce the approaching day, we enjoy coffee, rusks and a light breakfast before heading out on a four to five hour tracking session as soon as sufficient daylight allows.
We return to camp by midday for a well-earned brunch, prepared by the camp cook, and a few hours free to shower, read or study. As it starts cooling down in the afternoon, we head out again for another two to three hour session.
Dinner and a crackling campfire will await us back at camp, usually followed by an open air shower and an early night after the physical and mental exertions of the day.
Anyone with an interest in Nature, wildlife, tracking and an all-encompassing immersive experience would value this opportunity.
There are no guiding or tracking qualification prerequisites to take part in the course. Just arrive eager to learn and with an open mind.
The course is facilitated by one of the Lowveld Trails Co. CyberTracker Track & Sign Specialists, who will be joined by a CyberTracker Assessor on the last two days.
There is a maximum number of eight participants per course, ensuring personalised attention from the course facilitator and as much first-hand experience for the candidates as possible.
The course will be practical and intense, with an average of 7 to 8 hours spent in the field each day.
