HOW TO: Become A Wildlife Guide |@EcoTraining| Wilderness Trails Skills

Ever wanted to know how to become a wildlife guide like myself? ‪@EcoTraining‬ TVinvited me to come and check out a couple of their courses and training facilities so I can show you exactly what happens when training to become a wildlife guide. In this video I take a look at EcoTraining's Makuleke camp in the far northern Kruger National Park and then take an abbreviated version of the wilderness trails skills course. During the trail there were some great animal encounters on foot, most notably elephants and buffalo. The course includes learning how to find clean water in the wilderness and also sleeping out under the stars. EcoTraining's own website description of the course: This unique six-day course provides a perfect platform for aspirant or qualified guides or nature lovers to discover and reconnect with meaningful wilderness encounters. We firmly believe that the wilderness experience can be an inspiring cornerstone in the lives and careers of all those with a passion for nature and its inhabitants, developing a lifelong culture of conservation. The course may challenge some personal boundaries as we sleep wild under the stars, track and stalk game, and travel light with minimal supplies. It’s certainly more about depth than distance. The backdrop, of course, is traversing some of the finest and most remote wilderness regions of southern Africa on foot. While there are no formal subjects or lectures, the emphasis of the course lies on meaningful wilderness philosophy, tracking, low-impact guiding skills and bush lore. The adventures are instructed by some of the most experienced trainers and guides in Africa Subscribe to EcoTraining on YouTube:    / @ecotraining   Check out more info about EcoTraining Here: https://www.ecotraining.co.za/ An the wilderness trails skills course specifically: https://www.ecotraining.co.za/program...
