“The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do."
Galileo Galilei

Reserve Manager
Madjuma Lion Reserve
My LFGA course made it possible to realise my dream of becoming a field guide. I went all the way to reserve manager because of the key that LFGA gave me to open the door that seemed to be heavily locked. With the LFGA course that door was opened with ease.
