Karongwe Campus
Karongwe Campus
Karongwe Research Station is the campus for students on our Practical Conservation Management(6/12 months) and Practical Game Management (6/12 months) courses.
Located in the Karongwe Private Game Reserve in Limpopo, close to Hoedspruit, this research station borders the famous Greater Kruger region and the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere.
The scenery is a beautiful mix of open bushveld and winding river systems, with the peaks of the Drakensberg escarpment seen in the distance.
This Big Five reserve is a living classroom where iconic African wildlife roam freely throughout the reserve. With active conservation at its core, the landscape is carefully preserved to support a variety of birdlife and mammal species, including elephants, lions, and diverse plains game.
