If you are thinking of taking your foot off the career ladder for a while and want a totally different 9 to 5 then Kwa Madwala might have just what you're looking for.

Living, learning and experiencing the African wilderness at a private game reserve could be the chance of a lifetime. Imagine waking up to the sounds of the African bush and then taking an early morning game drive to check for animal spoor before an afternoon of handling raptors in the wild. How about tracking hyena with our carnivore expert or doing an aerial game count over the reserve in a Microlight? This could be your dream and there's no reason why it can't be reality.

At Kwa Madwala, we recognise that not all "gappers" are 18 to 21 years old. Our range of conservation experience programmes are equally suitable for the more mature individual and indeed we receive many enquiries from those aged well into their forties and even fifties. All four of our programmes are available to all age groups with no specific health or fitness criteria.

You do need to be fit and healthy, but more important is the right mental attitude, where your positive, hands-on approach will ensure maximum enjoyment and benefit.

All our programmes are managed by experienced game rangers who act as tutors and mentors to ensure you get the most from your time with us. We want all participants to enjoy themselves and have time to reflect on the world around them.

So, if you want to experience something completely different in your sabbatical or time out of work, then we would love to hear from you.
