New courses announced
Limpopo-Lipadi has partnered with renowned training provider EcoTraining Botswana to deliver an exciting and varied learning opportunity on the reserve. Open to everyone, these courses will be running in November and December 2012 initially. Three courses are available:
Driving and Dangerous Game aims to equip learners with the skills to drive 4x4 vehicles in the bush, off road and with sensitivity towards the environment. It will cover fault finding and how to avoid getting stuck as well as how to get out if you do! An understanding of the range of potentially dangerous game, their habits and behaviours and how to interpret various warning signs will also be gained.
Nature Interpretation will cover basic Tuli ecology, keystone species and the current hot conservation issues. Identification of trees and plants will be complemented by bird identification and how to read the signs of the wild.
Small and Big Things aims to provide you with an experience of the Tuli after the rains when insects, amphibians and reptiles become more plentiful. Dealing with snake bites will also be covered and with sessions about walking in the bush and nightime frog hunting this course is sure to excite!
A Wildlife Photography course is also in the planning stages and will be considered in 2013 if sufficient interest is generated.
