We invite you to Embark on an African adventure, join our student guides while contributing to conservation and the protection of all fauna and flora. Future sustainability! Learn about the wildlife in all its biodiversity, while experiencing Kololo.
Our aim
In a whole, the aim is to help our Rangers and Field Guides in creating a balance within conservation on the 1500ha of Kololo, while educating yourself about conservation and wildlife.
Our Researchers & Volunteers
Are
older than 18 (no age limit!);
in possession of a passion for nature and wildlife;
not required to have previous experience, but are willing to learn and participate in all aspects of the program;
able to follow lectures & training in English; and are
interested in the focus of the research side of ecology and wildlife. The program has limited focus on human-animal interaction. The course is an introduction for anyone interested in joining the FGASA program to become a qualified guide within all its levels.
The volunteers live with our student guides. Accommodation is simple and shared. We have transformed our conference room into a research centre with shared bed- and bathrooms. There is a kitchen, 2 dorm bedrooms, a lounging area, eating area, studying and lecture area, ablution and a braai area outside. Participants are expected to cook together (ingredients will be provided by Kololo).
Itinerary
What can you expect when participating in the program? The program revolves around undertaking research on Kololo from which tasks & lessons for future interventions on the reserve will arise. We will always work within the mission of the reserve as a whole but as the program evolves the different projects can move into different directions. Secondly, an important part is training the participants, providing them with better knowledge and understanding of the natural environment and everything that lives within it.
Start Dates 2020
The program runs for 2 weeks. Students can join both week 1 and stay 2 weeks, or join in week 2 and stay 1 week.
