The basis of the survival

 

Definition:

A Wild Nature Expert has good knowledge of the aspects of nature that are most important to live and survive in the wild. These include plants, animals, rocks, landscapes and eco-systems. Apart from the general value, the knowledge of nature and wilderness is the basic requirement for every outdoor activity, and also a requirement for successful survival.

Even during other training modules, we keep going to work on our nature expertise whenever we come across interesting animals, plants or other natural phenomena that are important for a ranger's  life and survival.


Ondjou Wilderness Reserve - perfect training conditions: In our huge, 10qkm large training area with its extremely varied landforms and ecosystems we can offer ideal training conditions .


Participants

Rangers who need this training module as part of their training course.
Professionals, in the broadest sense, who work in related professions and who can use this course to increase their expertise and qualifications.
Nature lovers, who want to get to know the nature of Namibia in depth.
Bushcrafter, Oudoorer and Survival sportsmen who want to learn more about the importance of nature expertise for good and successful Bushcraft and Survival.

Adventurers and Africa enthusiasts who simply seek a particularly intensive experience of nature and an unforgettable African adventure.

 

Training content
It is particularly important to us that the participants recognize the inter-connections in nature and thus learn how natural science - divided into geology, zoology and botany - is linked to each other. Apart from the basics, the training is consistently based on the application of nature expertise for a successful and healthy life in the wild - and for survival in emergency situations. Knowledge of geology / geography is e.g. extremely helpful in route planning and in the search for water. Trees, shrubs and grasses, which are the basis for wildlife, are in many ways important to survival - be it as raw material, fuel or food - or if they are poisonous! Accurate knowledge of zoology, including birds, mammals and insects, is fundamental to hunting, trapping and foraging. Likewise, in-depth knowledge of the dangerous animals forms the basis of the so-called "Jaw + Claw Survival", ie the successful avoidance of confrontations with these animals and the correct behavior in encounters in the wild.

"The Adventure of a Lifetime!

Ranger training in the Ondjou Wilderness Reserves is a very intense oudoor and nature experience and preparation for an emergency - wherever it may take place .... Through our experience with real emergency scenarios and the possibilities on Ondjou, the training is not only for professionals and rangers, but for all motivated adventurers, outdoor and survival sportsmen a great challenge, an unforgettable experience and - of course - an ultimate African adventure.

Basics of survival in real wilderness

 

Definition: Based on the Wild Nature Expert training, the Basic Wilderness Survival Training forms the basis for any kind of activity in wild nature. Without this training every trip to real wilderness can  bear considerable risks. We know the dangers of the wilderness, the risks of an extreme nature and environment that surrounds us daily.


The risks of the wild nature can hit anyone who goes into the wilderness, as a traveler, or who is staying there professionally, especially rangers, but also a hobby hiker on a "harmless" day trip.


Most intensive form of nature experience: Wilderness Survival is the most intensive way of dealing with nature. The combination of terrific scenery, wildlife encounters, the magic of Africa and the certainty to significantly improve its survival skills, make the Wilderness Survival Training one of the greatest adventures that can be experienced in nature.

Ondjou Wilderness Reserve: In our huge, 10qkm private training area all disciplines of the Wilderness Survival can be trained perfectly. Ondjou is located in the semi-arid climatic area, and therefore provides natural conditions for survival training for the deserts, steppes and savanna of the earth, including survival in the harshest mountain and rocky terrain. The country is characterized by deserted vastness, lack of water, often heavy terrain and a plant and animal world, which are adapted to the harsh conditions. - The high temperatures during the summer months and the frequent cold in the night (also minus degrees) in the winter months, as well as extreme thunderstorms and flash floods in the rainy season, can challenge even the most advanced survival experts. 

Equipment: Even with good equipment, survival in such extreme wilderness is a challenge that requires intense training and the whole man. We refer to this best case as "Specialized Equipment Survival". But we also prepare for scenarios where equipment may fail or be unavailable. Then we have to improvise (Improvised Equipment Survival) and more and more to live and survive through the help of natural materials only (Primitive Survival), focusing on the fascinating skills of the Namibian Bushmen (San) and other native tribes.

 

Training content:

 

Our Wilderness Survival training is based on the most statistically greatest risks that can occur in the wild, especially in the deserts, steppes and savannah regions of the world. Much of it is universally applicable everywhere in the world. Own ideas and individual opportunities for development are part of our training philosophy. Instead of long demos we give short instructions and only intervene helpfully where necessary, so that the participants can constantly test and improve their own ability and thereby strengthen the contents of the lesson more:


"The Adventure of a Lifetime!

All programs of the SurvivalZone Wilderness Academy are very intense oudoor and nature experiences and an effective preparation for real emergencies - wherever it may take place .... Its a great challenge for all motivated adventurers, outdoor and survival sportsmen, an unforgettable experience and - of course - an ultimate African adventure.
