Check out www.luangwablondes.com
Go to the bush walking quiz page, look to the end. There are some suggestions for you.

Hi Cristiano

A timely question as The SanWild Wildlife Trust are offering a number of training courses:

"FORMAL TRAINING COURSES:

From January 2008 SanWild will also be offering volunteers the opportunity to enrol to the following formally structured training courses:

Field-guide eco training (Duration 3 weeks)

Anti-poaching ranger training. (Limited to males only over the age of 21 years. Duration 6 weeks intensive training. This course is not for the fainthearted and will include training with military precision.)

Wildlife rehabilitation and animal rescue techniques (Duration 5 – 10 days, depending on course level)"

To read all details of these courses and volunteer programmes click here:

Sorry. You now know as much as I do about it. Lots of companies out there. I just came across a few in the past that had a good recommendation from people I knew.

I dug this topic up because I'm currently orientating in somewhat similar and encountered a 28 day field guide course which looks really interesting.
http://www.ecotraining.co.za/Courses...-1-28-day.html

anyone had any experience or know more about this program?

Here you go, OP:

I'd personally go for Lee & Sarah Gutteridge @ Entabeni. Here's their page: http://www.fgasa.co.za/trainingproviders.asp

I met Susan briefly at AOF, and read Lee's book...

Ciao,

J.
