Newsletter: November 2008 (25 day Programme)

This was our first ever course for Ranger Caddies. These are people selected from our community who speak good English and have an interest in nature. They have attended a programme with us, sponsored by the Legend Golf and Safari Resort and Entabeni Nature Guide Training to qualify as local guides. They are then going to assist as a combined caddy and guide in the golf resort, which is entirely nature friendly, with antelope and giraffes roaming about the greens. They will drive their guests, the golfers in their golf vehicles and be able to provide informed commentary on the trees, birds and mammals they encounter as well as the basic geology and climatology of their areas. These are a small group of exceptional individuals, who are being uplifted from being unemployed to highly trained and fully employed individuals. They have done them selves proud, all passing the local guide assessment with flying colours, and a sense of humour too!
