We achieve these aims by sticking to the following essential values.

More of your money goes directly to the projects, which are also great value.

All projects are needs driven, so your help is genuinely required and appreciated.

I completed the FGASA Level 1 course at Nakavango camp last week. Had a fantastic time and learned a great deal. Mark is an absolutely fantastic teacher. Incredible knowledge and very fluent way of teaching. Couldn’t have had a better person there for us. This course has opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities and knowledge to continue exploring.

I didn’t think within a year of training I would have so many qualifications. Thank you to all the staff involved in creating and supporting us during this learning experience of a lifetime.

I got more out of this course than I would have expected and it changed me and my life in a very positive way. Being with the best group ever in an absolute stunning environment and learning a lot about animals and wildlife was a great enjoyment.
