Site Guide Week 2

On Monday, the students that were off duty the weekend, were still off duty so it was just me and Elani.  Things were pretty unorganized so we didn't have much to do before lunch but we did take the Resource Guardianship students out to check fences and wild life.  After lunch, we worked at the game drive table during welcoming.  Usually the guests just walk by the table but we created a game and the guests were actually interested.

On Tuesday, the three boys in our group were back so we had class again, but this time at the Caravan park. We talked about trees and all their uses (no, it's not only used for fire wood).  Wednesday, Klaas took us to the Tambuki camp site, there we were taught about Egology (the way living and non-living organisms exist together within nature.)  Thursday we went back to the Caravan park (CVP as we call it).  There Christene taught us about reptiles, she's the best person to talk to us about this subject since she is a qualified snake handler.

On Friday, I went on a game drive with the guesthouse guests, along with Antonet (second year student). I talked and she drove but we had to call in help, as the cruiser refused to start after we stopped to watch the giraffes at the water hole.  I also did my assessments and was declared competent in reptiles and ecology.  At lunch I clocked out to take my well deserved weekend off.  Be back on Monday!

This is our group (one student missing):
