Kukama Wildlife College—where the spirit of the Oryx inspires our commitment to resilience, innovation, and excellence in wildlife conservation education. Nestled on the picturesque Olienhout Game Reserve, just 30 km outside of Griekwastad, we transform a revitalized cattle farm into a thriving hub for conservation and learning. “Kukama,” meaning Oryx, reflects our dedication to navigating challenges with perseverance and creativity. In a region known for its harsh conditions, we stand out with a adaptable approach, allowing us to provide a distinctive, high-impact education that sets us apart in the competitive wildlife training sector.
