Take part in a journey of discovery that provides you with in-depth Game Ranger training and gives you the opportunity to discover the natural world of the Big 5.
What if, an awe inspiring volunteering experience could also get you a qualification? This is exactly what happens at our newly launched Game Ranger Course programme.
Started in 2010, this programme is geared towards providing volunteers with a meaningful yet practical connection to wildlife and nature. It is designed to equip you with the theoretical lessons and practical training you need to become a qualified Game Ranger Guide and receive a level 1 certificate for the FGASA (Field Guides Association of South Africa).
More and more people are choosing to volunteer at this Game Ranger Course programme because it beautifully combines education with excitement, and encompasses much more than simply sightseeing and photographing wild animals. It offers participants a substantial level of responsibility that encourages them to See More and Do More each and every day of their programme.
Please check WAVA's website for full details about this programme.
