What's it about?
 

Throughout history, tracking has been veiled with mysticism and (possibly, magic powers!) but in reality it is a practical skill which can be mastered by anyone with an open mind and a willingness to learn.

Although tracking may seem to be an ancient subject, it has a valuable place in the repertoire of today's modern outdoor enthusiast. Aside from aiding search and rescue situations, this skill is being increasingly applied by naturalists and field scientists to survey animal populations, find evidence of rare species and as a non-intrusive method to study animal behaviour. For the amateur observer or wildlife photographer a good understanding of tracking can greatly aide your success. Using the skills learned on this course you will be able to place yourself where the animals are most likely to be. Over the years, this event has resulted in some very real and close encounters for many of our clients.

To give you an even wider range of discovery, we have recently introduced the use of night vision and bat detecting equipment.
