Welcome to the TRACKER ACADEMY
Made possible by the Rupert Nature Foundation the Tracker Academy is a partnership between the SA College for Tourism, Samara Game Reserve, Londolozi Game Reserve and Alex van den Heever. Our 1 year full-time intensive tracking course, lead by 3 experienced trainers, is the first of its kind in southern Africa. The course focuses on developing tracking competency, conservation and life-skills, including literacy and positive health.
Dr Ian McCallum has played an integral role in the development of the curriculum. Dr McCallum’s experience in psychiatry as well as his understanding of ecological intelligence adds a further dimension to the course.
The Tracker Academy recruits candidates from disadvantaged communities whose dream it is to work in conservation, and who show an aptitude in traditional skills of tracking.
We would like to thank our donors:
