Week 1 Site Guiding

Week 1

Day 1:
On day 1 we got our introduction on what is site guiding and what work we will cover in our course. Then after that we got on the student cruiser and went to get the fun run pathways ready,and inserted droppers with arrows on to indicate where the competitors must run to.

Also trough out the day our facilitator learned us about mammals spoor and birds trees and other           plants also interesting facts about certain trees and plants. We also learned that cerain plants                 grow in certain soil:
  1. Turf soil-
  • Enkel doring 
  • Hak en steek
  • Blink blaar wag 'n biekie
   2. Sandy soil
  • Sekelbush
  • Silver cluster
   3. Red soil
  • Acacia
  • Maroela
Trough out the week we had our theory work where we learned how a pretrial briefing works what needs to be said and what you need to know on a game drive.
The weekend came and I already did 2 game-drives on my own and really felt comfortable with the guest and to talk both English and Afrikaans to them and to answer their questions to my best. I hope to do more trails and game drives throughout my course.
