Accommodation & Transport

Each student is accommodated in his or her own Safari style tent on the nature reserve. All meals are provided by the lodge and laundry facilities are available. As part of the course activities, students will be camping out from time to time. All camping equipment will be provided, and during these excursions students will have the opportunity to practice their outdoor culinary skills.

Transport on the reserve during training is by game viewing vehicle. A free taxi service will be available twice a week to transport students to Oudtshoorn after the day’s training. Any additional transport needs can be discussed with the Programme Leader.

Free time

Due to the short duration of the course, students are unable to take a separate holiday during the programme. ‘Working’ days are Monday to Friday, except when on educational tour. Students are free to go away over the weekend, but will be expected to return by Sunday evening. Oudtshoorn is one of the most popular towns in South Africa and during free time students have access to amenities such as internet cafes, restaurants, cinemas, shopping malls and much more.
