Site guide training in Grootvadersbosch Conservancy

So excited to see our new hiking guides completing their two weeks of training with Venture forth. Thanks to all those who supported the training: DEA, Swellendam Tourism and WWF/TMF. The guides have worked really hard this week and are now ready to start practicing what they have learnt.

Celebrating the 2 weeks of learning

They are off today to walk a 15km route along one of our red routes and will talk about the many topics that they have discussed for a good guided experience: planning, information, safety and having fun! We are very proud of them all. Soon we will be working on some packages and experiences that will make a visit to the area even more enchanting so "watch this space"! Perhaps we will even get some of them on a mountain bike!

Walking through the conservancy

The group spent today walking through a planned route and practicing aspects which included tying ropes on steep slopes
