Every year wildlife managers from around the SADC region and Africa train at the college and take their skills back to use on the ground, ensuring well managed conservation areas into the future.


More than 3000 students have already been trained at the College as conservation managers, field guides, game rangers and tourist guides. They come from more than 20 countries in Africa.
