I am very happy and doing very well
by: EllieProgram: Game Ranger Course in South AfricaHi!! It’s amazing out here and everything went to smoothly regarding flights and pickup to get to the reserve! The staff are amazing and everyone gets on so well and life is very surreal right now! I am very happy and doing very well and excited for the 7 weeks ahead after having such an amazing first week!!
I’d definitely like to return and see more at some point

South Africa as a nation is really nice as well, and the culture is both different and similar to the UK (I think, at least in some ways). I think so far, it has to be one of my favourite places; I’d definitely like to return and see more at some point.
