Safari School chronicles Matthew's gap year as a student at a bush school in South Africa and Botswana. After graduating from the University of the Witwatersrand with a BCom(Law) degree, Matthew figured that there had to be something more to life than sitting in air-conditioned offices arguing with disinterested people. After stumbling across a newspaper advert for a safari guiding-school in the Kruger National Park, Matthew enrolled and soon found himself trying to stay out of trouble and avoiding wild animals, lovesick peers and slightly unbalanced instructors. With characters seemingly incapable of staying out of trouble and animal encounters too close for comfort, Safari School will take you on a behind-the-scenes journey of what is required to become a field guide in one Africa's premier game reserves.
