How To: Become A Wildlife Guide | EcoTraining | Wilderness Trails Skills

Ever wanted to know how to become a wildlife guide like myself? EcoTraining invited 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

The purporse of the Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos YouTube channel is to show what it is like to experience an African safari. Nature Documentaries are often highly edited to tell a story, wildlife safaris are not, and the idea here is to show the wildlife sightings the way they were seen. Safari tours in Africa are generally suitable for all ages and this channel can be considered an educationa channel, some scenes may be more graphic than people are used to but this is the reality of nature and is what you would see if you were present on such a safari in person. Safaris in Kenya, South Africa, or any other African country are an unrivalled experience for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife photography, and travel. Hopefully this channel can provide a glimpse into what the nature experience is like and encourage more people to take a wildlife safari one day.
