After four months of training they're sending us out to go try our hand at actually being guides at lodges. So withing the next three weeks we'll find out where we're going. So lets hope its some where nice.The last three weeks of training has been great. Lots of walking and lots of adrenalin! Walking into Lions, seeing Rhino appear through the bushes, and listening to Elephants eat while lying in your tent is just so exhilarating!
So for those still wondering Why I want to be a guide... well the only traffic is that of Matabele Ants, Elephants or Impala; my office is the African bush and an open Landy; and every day, no matter how long or difficult is rewarded by the beauty of the sun setting over the African horizon, a Giraffe silhouetted against the blue African sky, the flutter of a butterfly. I can go on and on about the wonders of working in nature.
As my adventures continue I'll keep who ever is interested updated on my blog so you can share in my happiness and the wonder of living and working in the natural heritage of South Africa's nature reserves.
