Introducing CAMP REFLECTIONS where participants share their memories and photographs of what life is like on an EcoTraining course…
This one is from Nessy
Shimwafeni, currently on a 55 Day FGASA Level 1 course. After starting their
adventure in the Selati Game Reserve, the group is now at our wilderness camp
in the Makuleke concession in the far north of the Kruger National Park.

Nessy shares his impressions from the first couple of weeks at Selati.
“After a scenic but long
drive from Johannesburg to the EcoTraining camp at Selati, I arrived tired and
wondering what to expect.
I was greeted by a group of
people that was going to be my team for the next 55 days. After a few days, I settled
in.
It is magical waking up to a
variety of different bird sounds in the morning while I wait to greet the sun.
On our guided walks I learn everyday how little I know but how much I gain.
The bush has so much to offer
and the EcoTraining instructors are more than willing to share their knowledge
as I tap into Mother Nature.
Every day, when I’m on a game
drive, I see animals, birds and plants in a whole new light.
Sisi Lorraine in the kitchen
ensures that I am well fed and never go hungry.
It is amazing to learn and to
seek solitude after a long day in the bush, just sitting and letting the sounds
and visuals of the day sink into the deepest of my soul.
I came as a student and I
learn that I will keep on learning every day for the rest of my life.
EcoTraining rocks!”
