Welcome to Campfire Safaris Private Game Reserve - a totally unique project with opportunities and features that differ greatly from most of the volunteer work experience projects, tourist destinations and internship venues, you'll find in South Africa

What can you expect in 2007 at Campfire

March 2007

2007 started with a bang!!  Students from all over the world are now standing queue.  This is going to be a record year if I look at the bookings.  SO if you and your friends are interested, BOOK NOW!!

 

FGASA Field Guiding course

 

Campfire Safaris is now an accredited learning centre, with Laetitia as the primary lecturer.  Watch out for more details on our website by the end of the month.  There will only be 2 courses this year and from next year we will have 6.  If you need more information about FGASA and the standards they underwrite go to www.fgasa.org.za  If you need more information on the course we will provide please contact Laetitia at martiens.c@absamail.co.za or africavolunteer@webmail.co.za

 

ANIMAL NEWS

 

After a long absence the ellies (elephants) are back in full force.  The past week was filled with sightings and some close encounters with a bull in musth.  Not to serious but definatly adrenalin rush.  The lions are around, but so far they have managed to escape us.

 

NEW !

 

So many students are interested in tracking therefore we will now include tracking as part of the month volunteer course.  We leave early in the morning, find fresh spoor of Rhino, Lion or Buffalo and track them by ground and aerial (evidence of the animal on grass, trees, bushes or ground) until we find them (sometimes they get away, but we try).

 

We are looking forward to a great and eventful year!

 

Bush greetings
