Study Wildlife • Restore Land
Create Real Impact

At Kukama Wildlife College, your training does more than earn a qualification — it directly supports active rewilding and conservation work at Olienhout Game Reserve.

The Difference:
Conservation Through Education

The Difference:
Conservation Through Education

Most training institutions teach conservation as theory. We build conservation into the training model itself.

Our students learn inside a working restoration landscape — where their presence and participation support real ecological recovery.

This is not simulated conservation. This is conservation in progress.

Key Principle:

  • Education funds restoration
  • Restoration strengthens education

The Olienhout Rewilding Journey

Olienhout Game Reserve was historically used for cattle farming. Today, it is being actively restored into a conservation landscape through a long-term rewilding programme.

This includes:

  • Habitat recovery
  • Biodiversity support
  • Responsible land management
  • Conservation infrastructure development
  • Sustainable reserve operations

Students train inside this living conservation project — not a finished park, but a growing one.

They witness restoration — and help sustain it.

How Student Training Creates Impact

When You Enroll, You Support:

  • Habitat restoration projects
  • Conservation infrastructure
  • Field monitoring capacity
  • Reserve operations
  • Land rehabilitation initiatives

Your course fees are not isolated from the environment you study in — they help sustain it. Your education leaves a footprint — a positive one.
