During the last ten years many International College and University students have had been successfully doing their Internship and Practical Traineeship at Campfire Safaris under the expert guidance of Tinus Cronjé and his team.
The Balule Private Game Reserve, where Campfire Safaris is located, comprises over 65.000 hectares of, privately owned, unfenced African bush.
There are also no fences between Balule Private Game Reserve and the adjacent
Kruger National Park.
Wild animals, including the “big five”, are moving freely within the boundaries of the Greater Kruger Park 2.000.000 hectares open ecosystem, probably the most important in Africa.
