This two-week survival course is designed for the
adventurer and experience-seeker looking for a
challenging experience that will better equip them
for a survival situation and for those looking to
better their bush-craft skills. Join us and learn
survival skills such as making a friction fire,
finding food and water in the wilderness, dealing
with dangerous game encounters, tracking, navigation
and orientation utilising natural indicators and
much, much more.
The first 10 days will give participants both the
theoretical and practical knowledge that is needed
to survive in this harsh wilderness and this is then
followed by a four-day survival scenario which will
incorporate all of the skills learnt.
The course is concluded with a written exam, of
which those that obtain 75% or more will be awarded
a certificate of merit.
The course is run by survival experts who are also
highly qualified wildlife field guides with many
years of experience and specialist skills. The
chief instructor is a FGASA Level 3 SKS (Dangerous
Game) field guide who has a Cybertracker Level 4
Tracker qualification and a level 5 BAA first aid
qualification. His interest in wilderness survival
spans over decades and he is a holder of the
Springbok Scout Award.
It is a very gruelling course and the 4 day scenario
is a real-life scenario where you will only eat food
that you manage to obtain from skills learnt and
drink the water that you can find and purify. This
can lead to frustration and aggravation. For this
reason, the course best suits physically fit
individuals with a positive mental outlook and who
can face exceptionally challenging situations.
Without these qualities one would be doomed in a
survival situation anyway.
Due to the location and nature of this course, there
is a minimum age criteria of 18 years old, and those
over 55 years old will need to provide a doctors
certificate of fitness.
